2.3.3 Lubrication
When the grease contains dust, becomes dull in colour or begins to wear away through extended use, lubricate
the actuator using the procedure below.
1.
How to lubricate
To lubricate the ballscrew, apply grease to the screw

slider back and forth.
To lubricate the guide, apply grease with your finger,
then spread it out by moving the slider back and

2. What grease to use:
IAI uses lithium grease No. 2. There are other brands of grease commercially available for the ballscrew and slider. These are
acceptable as long as
they are a lithium-type grease.
Note:
Never use a fluorine-based grease. Mixing this with a lithium grease produces a chemical reaction which
damages the actuator.
