12.6 Greasing
12.6.1 Applicable Grease
[Lead screw types]
All Lead screw products have been shipped with synthetic poly-ҏD olefin grease applied to the Lead
screw.
IAI uses the following grease in our plant.

Equivalent greases are also available from other manufacturers, but exercise caution when
selecting the grease because the life of the product may be affected.

grease not only reduces the performance of the grease, it may even cause damage to the
actuator.
