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 Industrial Motion Control
Representative or the Technical Sales Department at 1-800-645-5207 or
847-459-5200.
4.1.7. 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).
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 Ferguson 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 3.
4.1.10.1. A standard Parallel Shaft indexer is shown in Figure 3 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.
