SECTION 4: Installation (continued)
4.1.2. Mount the Indexer into position on a rigid base and secure with the largest size
bolts that will fit through the mounting holes.
4.1.3. Align the Indexer with respect to the station positions before tightening bolts and
doweling. Use a dial indicator or other appropriate tool to insure alignment.
4.1.4. Tighten all mounting bolts securely and uniformly.
4.1.5. Install dowels.
4.1.5.1. Use a commercially available straight dowel of the appropriate size.
4.1.5.2. Drill a hole into the base to a depth of at least 1-1/2 times the diameter
of the dowel. Use a drill the same size as the pilot hole in the
Indexer housing.
4.1.5.3. Line ream housing and base for press fit with dowel pin.
4.1.5.4. Install dowel pins into position. Leave some material exposed to
facilitate removal in the future, or use threaded dowel pins.
4.1.6. Check the oil level of the sump and gear reducer prior to operating the unit.
4.1.6.1. Pay particular attention if the oil level is too high. If a unit has been idle
for some time since its manufacture, condensation may be present.
If condensation is noticed, the oil should be drained, the unit thoroughly
cleaned and re-filled with oil (see Chart 1 in Section 3 for capacities).
NOTE: If shot pins or guide pins in dies are used, the unit should
have been manufactured with a dwell relief in the cam. If severe
vertical loads exist, an anvil may be required. Tangential loads may
require the use of a shot pin or dial clamp. For further information,
consult your local Industrial Motion Control Representative or the
Technical Sales Department at 1-800-645-5207 or 847-459-5200.
4.1.6.2. The unit’s sump must be filled with SAE 90 EP Gear oil or equivalent
meeting MIL-PRF-2105E and API Service Classification GL5 or GL6
before operation (see Chart 1 in Section 3 for capacities). An example
of this oil is Mobilube HD 80W-90. For extreme applications, use
Mobilube HD 85W-140 (consult your local representative to determine if
your application is extreme).
