Mach Motion’s ball screw actuators only require minimal maintenance to keep operating at peak performance.
Our factory team recommends adding more grease to the actuator every 100km (~62 miles) of travel. Using synthetic, dust-resistant grease is recommended.
To add grease, locate the grease injection hole found on the slide stage of the actuator. Inject grease into the actuator until it is nearly full.
Partial list of Mach Motion’s ball screw actuators that should follow the above guidelines:
- MCTH Series
- MC8 Series
- MC2 Series
- MF10 Series
- MK6 Series
