SECTION 4: Installation (continued)
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 holes 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 leader guide pins in dies are used, the cam
should have been manufactured with a dwell relief in the cam.
If severe tangential or vertical loads exist, an anvil may be
required. 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 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).
4.1.6.3. Bronze Gear Reducer oil must be SAE140 Steam Cylinder Oil meeting
AGMA #8 Compound, MIL SPEC, MIL-L-15016A; symbol 3150
(see Chart 1 in Section 3 for capacities). (Or manufacturer’s specified
oil if not a Ferguson manufactured reducer.)
4.1.6.4. Be sure optional controller is properly fused – refer to vendor’s manual.
