SECTION 4: Installation (continued)

4.1.5.

Check the oil level of the sump and gear reducer prior to operating the unit.

4.1.6.

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. Tangential loads may

require the use of a shot pin or dial clamp. If vertical loads exist, an anvil

may be required. For further information, consult your local Industrial

Motion Control Representative or the Technical Service Department at

1-800-645-5207 or 847-459-5200.

4.1.7.

The indexing unit 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).

4.1.8.

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 Industrial Motion Control

manufactured reducer.)

4.1.9.

Be sure optional controller is properly fused – refer to vendor’s manual, which is

included under separate cover for information on installation, set up, adjustment

and maintenance.

4.1.10. Check the adjustment of the Switch cam if your unit has this option. To insure

unit stops in dwell, see Figure 4.

4.1.10.1. A standard FD indexer is shown in figure 4 with a Brake Cam & Limit

Switch shown with the keyway in the center of the dwell period. It is

necessary to phase the Brake Cam such that the input shaft of the

indexer stops during the dwell period of the index cycle while leaving

enough of the dwell period for the input shaft to accelerate to full speed

before leaving the dwell period.
