Ransburg RMA-560 Single_Dual Purge Direct A13364 - Manual (Page 48)

VIBRATION NOISE
If the RMA-560 is vibrating or making an unusually
loud noise, it usually means there is an imbalance
situation. The atomizer bell cup may have dried
paint on it or the bell may be physically damaged,
or there may be paint trapped between the bell
cup and shaft preventing the bell cup from properly
seating. If any of these conditions exist, they MUST
be corrected. Excessive imbalance caused by one
of these conditions may result in bearing damage
and turbine failure. Warranty DOES NOT cover
failure caused by imbalanced loading conditions.
To determine if the bell is dirty or damaged, remove
the bell cup and turn the turbine ON. If the noise
is eliminated, the bell cup is the problem. If the
noise continues, the turbine may be damaged
and should be inspected. Excessive air required
to achieve same speed may indicate a faulty or
contaminated turbine. DO NOT continue to op-
erate a noisy turbine.
TURBINE MAINTENANCE
DO NOT attempt to rebuild the turbine. Any
endeavor to disassemble a turbine during the
warranty period will void the warranty. Contact
your authorized distributor or Ransburg for
instructions.
GENERAL/PREVENTIVE
MAINTENANCE
Verify daily that the operating parameters have
not varied significantly from the normal. A drastic
change in high voltage, operating current, turbine
air, or shaping air, can be an early indicator of
potential component failure.

!
† If a bell cup comes off a rotating shaft
because of motor seizing or any other rea-
son, the Atomizer and bell cup must be re-
turned to Ransburg for inspection and eval-
uation to determine if the bell can be used
in operation.
A laminated poster entitled “Rotary Atomizer
Checklist” (AER0075-02) is included with the
assembly in the Literature Kit to be posted near
the station as a handy reference.
Due to the close proximity of high voltage to
ground potential, a schedule must be developed
for equipment maintenance (cleanliness).
