T-Series/Precautions/linear stages

Precautions

Zaber's linear stages can produce enough force to cause personal injury. Be careful not get to body parts caught between the moving carriage and the end plates of the stage. Make sure that no loose clothing gets caught in the rotating lead screw.

Maintenance

Stages with teflon-coated (black) leadscrews are designed to be maintenance free. There is no need to grease the leadscrew periodically. If the leadscrew becomes dirty, it can be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol. The rails can also be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol. Stronger solvents are not recommended as they can damage non-metal components.
