High-helix lead screws are precision parts (non-hardened) and must be protected from shock, dirt or moisture when transported or stored. Please do not unpack until ready for use.
Always check for cleanness when mounting the lead screw unit. Dirt or foreign matter on the thread may cause excessive wear and consult lubrication recommendation before mounting or operating Speedy lead screws.
Radial loads or torque brought to bear upon the nut result in overload of individual contact surfaces, thus seriously affecting the service life of the lead assembly. Therefore it is important properly mount the screw and to comply with all relevant form and positional tolerances.
In some cases, a single lubrication with grease or oil is sufficient. However, any lubrication cycle depends on the application environment. Bronze nuts have to be lubricated regularly.
Lubricant used by manufacturer:
Klüber Microlube GBU Y 131.
