5. If excessive resistance is felt, clean and relubricate the linear bearings.
6. Perform the procedures for a ball screw linear stage listed in the
troubleshooting tables on
page 78 and page 79 .
If the problem persists, return for factory evaluation and possible repair.

Table 7 - Troubleshooting Procedures for Direct Drive Linear Stages
ATTENTION: Lockout and tagout input power before servicing
the linear stage.
Description Possible Cause Corrective Action
Kinetix 6000 drive or Kinetix 2000
drive reporting error E19.
Ultra3000 drive reporting error E19,
E22, or E23. For sealed stages excess friction can be caused
by contamination on the strip seal. Clean the strip seal with a clean, soft cloth wetted with
isopropyl alcohol.
If problem persists, replace strip seal. Refer to
Remove the
Strip Seal on page 69 and Replace the Strip Seal on page 71 .
Stage received a large impact. The ball screw or
linear bearings have become misaligned or there
is damage to the rails. Return stage to factory for evaluation and repair.
Linear bearing has excess friction. Refer to Evaluate the Direct Drive Linear Stage on page 77 or
Evaluate the Ball Screw Linear Stage on page 77 .
ATTENTION: Lockout and tagout input power before servicing
the linear stage.
Description Possible Cause Corrective Action
Intermittent reporting of error E11,
E07, or E20 by the drive. Cable carrier module exceeds its useful life of
10,000,000 cycles and is starting to fail. Replace cable carrier module; refer to page 66 for
replacement instructions.
Intermittent reporting of error E04
by the drive. Ambient temperature of the stage exceeds 40 °C
(104 °F). Increase ventilation.
Thermistor circuit is defective. Disconnect the flex cable and probe the open Junction Box.
At room temperature 25 °C (77 °F), verify the resistance of
the circuit is 100…200 Ohms. If not in range, return for
factory service.
Refer to page 101 for thermistor resistance values at other
temperature ranges.
Cable carrier module exceeds its useful life of
10,000,000 cycles and is starting to fail. Replace cable carrier module; refer to page 66 for
replacement instructions.
Check resistance between
J1 pin 8 and J2 pin 2
