I am going to be pulling the servo on my has X axis after it started making funky buzzing noises and not moving smoothly.
I have removed the way covers, and found the ball screw/nut moves smoothly by hand.
The servo looks to be secured by 4 large bolts, then 4 smaller bolts further back which look like they hold the case/ encoder on.
A few questions please:
1) do I remove the cables first? I don't want to create more problems by either taking them off and they go funky or leaving them and stretching the cables
2) I assume the encoders is ok to turn on it's back etc as I move it? orientation doesn't mess them up?
3) is the servo output secured to the ball screw somehow? Or does the servo just slide out when the four bolts are released?
I am going to try and video the removal and cleaning process to help others as I can't find much info on it, but understand brushed servos need looking at regularly.
Hope this sorts my issue, if not I will send the servo off for testing, then try and source new cables or a refurbed servo amp... I think they are the three potential fixes.
Any advice would be great (its a 2000 VF0 by the way)
