Bimba HSXZ User manual

  • Hello, I'm your chat assistant. I've reviewed the Bimba user manual for the HSXZ series linear actuators, including models 80 and 15. This document provides crucial information on installation, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting for these belt-driven devices as well as belt alignment and assembly for the different models. I am ready to assist you with any questions regarding these actuators.
  • What type of lubricant should be used for the linear guide blocks?
    How often should the linear bearings be lubricated?
    Are belt tension adjustments needed?
    What is the maximum speed of the actuators?

INSTALLATION
The bottom of the Z-axis extrusion has a set of 4-6mm tapped holes. When mounting a plate to the
extrusion, be sure that the plate is flat to ensure a complete mating surface. If the plate is not flat, or if the
bolts are too long, this action could produce a loose fit and allow vibration and excess noise. This could
result in a premature failure in the bracket and/or Z -axis extrusion with an unsafe condition.
MOUNTING TO THE Z-AXIS
Support of the linear actuator should only be on the aluminum angles at the ends of the actuator. The
angles are designed to support the actuator from these two ends. The user should be sure to properly
align the ends and not induce any twisting into the actuator ends, which could bind up the drives and make
running of the drive belt tight.
MOUNTING THE ACTUATOR
MOUNTING THE MOTOR
Actuators provided with gear reducers typically include a motor mounting adapter and shaft pinion. Follow
the instructions provided with the pinion for proper motor installation.
All other methods of driving the input shaft should include the use of a high quality flexible coupling. Hard
coupling directly to the actuator shaft can cause excess wear and could cause a failure of the actuator.
NOTE: Bimba recommends the use of motors with a properly sized fail-safe brake on all vertical applications.
MOUNTING TO THE EZ MOUNT
1.) Mount reducer or motor to the actuator using its bolts.
2.) With the motor shaft engaged in the drive shaft, tighten the SHCS bolts on the clamp collar
through the holes in the drive end plate.
3.) After the clamp collar is securely holding the reducer/motor shaft, remove the lock bolt holding
the clamp collar.
4.) Store this bolt in case removal of the reducer/motor is required.

MAINTENANCE
GENERAL
General maintenance of the linear actuators is to keep the actuator belt clean to keep dirt from
accumulating inside the actuator. Inspection of the actuator, clamps, tee bolts, mounting hardware, and
other parts should be done periodically to insure proper alignment and that the operation did not change
from the initial installation.
LUBRICATION
The HSXZ actuator has the Self-Lubricant Linear Guideway System for Increased Life; do not use grease.
Use only oil as mentioned below. The linear guide blocks are of the self-lubricant type. These blocks require
oil installed into the side of the block through the side access hole on the side of the extrusion. Simply
remove the plug in the extrusion, drive the carriage to the middle, align the oil fitting with the access hole
in the block side, remove the setscrew, and install the oil directly into the block. Lubrication for these linear
bearings is recommended at least every 20,000km of travel.
Grease is recommended at linear speeds up to 3 meters per second and oil lubrication above 3 meters
per second. The maximum speed of the actuators should be 5 meters per second. Consult Bimba for
application data.
Grease should be a lithium-based lubricant. The amount of re-lubrication of grease is 5cm3 per bearing
block. Oil should be 30~150cst with a feeding rate of 0.3cm3/hour per bearing block. Review your part
number for the appropriate number of bearing blocks installed in your actuator.
The drive and take-up pulleys use sealed, deep groove ball bearings with a lifetime lubricant so that no
maintenance is required.
If your unit has a built-in reducer, this should be checked for heat build up and excess noise. This should
indicate re-lubrication requirements only.
BELT TENSIONING
The belt driven linear actuators are pre-tensioned at the factory. Field adjustments should not be required.
If the actuator is disassembled or the belt needs tensioned after replacement, please contact Bimba for
proper tension procedures.
ALIGNMENTS
Care should be taken when aligning linear actuators with a moving machine component. Make sure that
any bending or twisting of the actuator from other machine components is eliminated or minimized in
reference to the linear actuator.

BELT ALIGNMENT AND ASSEMBLY - HSXZ-80
The cover at the take-up end should be removed. Looking down into the side plates, there are two
setscrews holding the side plates in the locked position. Loosen these four setscrews (two on each side)
and loosen the 6mm SHCS on the end plate of the take-up.

Reattach the belt to the carriage and using the Belt Tensioning Mechanism to tighten the belt to the proper
tension. Run the actuator back and forth and insure that the belt is tracking correctly. Install and lock the
setscrews in the side plates to hold the sliders from moving. Remove the Tensioning Mechanism and install
the 6mm SCHS at the take-up end plate. Replace covers.
