How to Apply Grease to the RCS3(P)(CR)
You can apply grease to the RCS3(P) (CR)-SA8 and RCS3 (P) (CR)-SS8 from outside the actuator without
removing the exterior parts.
• For the RCS3 (P) (CR)-SA8, grease can be applied to the guide and ball screw from outside the actuator.
• For the RCS3 (P) (CR)-SS8, grease can be applied only to the guide from outside the actuator.
(1) How to apply grease to the guide (Common to RCS3 (P) (CR)-SA8 and SS8)
Remove the end face cover from the front bracket on the counter-motor side to expose grease nipples on
the right and left. Use these grease nipples to apply grease.
[1] Remove the end face cover.
[2] Move the slider all the way to the end on the counter-motor side.
[3] Insert a grease gun into the hole in the front bracket and add grease while keeping the slider in place.
*
The right and left grease nipples are connected to different greasing circuits, respectively, so be sure to
add grease into both nipples.
[4] Move the slider back and forth several times by hand.
[5] Repeat the above steps to apply grease.
[6] Use a waste cloth, etc., to wipe off any grease that has overflowed from the slider.
