Greasing the Gears
(1) Applicable grease
The following grease is applied to the gears before the gripper is shipped from the factory.
Kyodo Yushi Multemp AC-D No. 2
Use lithium spray grease. Take note that grease should not be sprayed for more than 1 second.
(2) How to apply grease
[1] Use a flathead screwdriver to turn the
opening/closing screw located deep at the center
clockwise to move the levers toward the ends of their
respective strokes.
[2] Spray grease at the gear meshing locations
(3 locations; keep the spray time to a maximum of 1
second at each location).
After spraying, turn the opening/closing screw to
move the levers back and forth several times to
spread the grease evenly. Remove excess grease or
grease spatters in surrounding areas.
Warning
• Never use fluorine grease. If fluorine grease is mixed with lithium grease, the lubricating function of
grease will drop and the machine may suffer damage due to increased friction.
• Do not use spray oil. Be sure to use spray grease. Keep the spray time to a maximum of 1 second,
and never spray more than once. If too much grease is applied, excess grease may flow into the
electronic components and cause malfunction.
