INTRODUCTION
This service manual pertains to the disassembly and assembly of CAMCO’s RA Series Index Drive MODELS
400RA, 401RA,512RA, & 662RA.
The manual is to be used in conjunction with the General Service Manual which describes the lubrication and
general maintenance of CAMCO Index Drives.
An exploded view of your specific Index Drive is included in this manual. Also included is a complete Bill of
Materials for your convenience in identifying and ordering spare or replacement parts.
Some users of Index Drives have the facilities and trained personnel to accomplish service repair. You must
determine the extent to which intricate servicing should be done in your own facility. When in doubt, CAMCO
recommends that CAMCO trained servicemen make the repairs.
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
Statements in this manual preceded by the words WARNING or CAUTION and printed in italics are very
important. We recommend you take special notice of these during service or repair.
WARNING
Means there is the possibility of personal injury to yourself or others.
CAUTION
Means there is the possibility of damage to the CAMCO unit.
OIL SEAL REMOVAL
The only repair possible without disassembly of the indexer is replacement of oil seals. To remove oil seals, drill
a number of holes into the case of the seal. The seal may then be removed with a pointed tool. Be sure to
remove all metallic chips created during the drilling of removal holes. A new seal may be installed as outlined in
the “Oil Seal Installation Recommendations” section of the “General Service Manual”.
SPARE PARTS KIT
CAMCO offers a Spare Parts Kit for all CAMCO index drive models CAMCO builds. These kits include oil seals,
bearings, shims and cam followers. These are components that will most likely require replacement during
repair of your index drive. CAMCO recommends a Spare Parts Kit be purchased and kept on hand prior to any
disassembly of your CAMCO drive.
A compete list of components supplied in the Spare Parts Kit can be found in the parts list located in the rear of
this manual. The asterisk behind the item number indicates those parts supplied with the Spare Parts Kit.
