Product Description
The newest member of the CF translator family, the BLT45S, features cantilever brackets bolted to the flange side, leaving 75% of the flange circumference unobstructed. This allows close-quarter mounting without interfering with other flanges. The bottom flange offers an optional 16-hole pattern for flexible mounting orientation.
Despite its modest price, the BLT45S provides years of trouble-free service with minimal maintenance. Components are field replaceable, including the bellows. Available options include long strokes, motor drives, linear encoders, tapped flanges, and special heights.
Maintenance
Minimal maintenance is required. Linear bearings are self-lubricating. Keep guide rods clean and periodically lubricate the lead screw and bearings with high-temperature Teflon lubricant.
- Extend the translator fully.
- Place a spacer between the traveler and lower bracket.
- Remove the bearing retainer flange.
- Turn the knob counter-clockwise to extract the bearings.
- Work grease into the bearing.
- Replace the bearing, retainer, and screws.
- Remove the spacer.
