NON-SCHEDULED
Thoroughly clean and check the tool blocks in the event of feed problems.
Readjust the 90° Vee bearings if the Headstock becomes loose on the Clamshell.
STORAGE
When the Clamshell is to be stored or if it will remain out of service for a significant
period of time, 30 days or more, it should be thoroughly cleaned, lubricated and
sprayed with a rust preventative prior to storage.
ADJUSTMENT OF THE 90° VEE BEARINGS PRE-LOAD
Adjustment is done without the drive housing(s) attached.
Loosen all of the bearing lock screws and adjustment eccentric nuts about 1/4 turn.
Turn the four (4) bearing adjustment eccentric nuts in so that they are snugged
tightly.
The OD of the gear is centered with the OD of the housing.
Lightly turn in the remaining bearing adjustment eccentric nuts until all of the
bearings make contact with the Headstock.
The safe torque range on the bearing adjustment eccentric nuts is 1 in-lbs (.1
N m) to 3 in-lbs (.3 N m).
Relax the four (4) bearing adjustment eccentric nuts and resnug them so that all of
the bearings are evenly loaded against the gear race.
Overtightening the bearing adjustment eccentric nuts will result in accelerated
bearing wear and lower available power.
