WARNING: Because of the possible danger to persons(s) or property from accidents which may result from the improper use of products, it is
important that correct procedures be followed. Products must be used in accordance with the engineering information specified in the catalog.
Proper installation, maintenance and operation procedures must be observed. The instructions in the instruction manuals must be followed.
Inspections should be made as necessary to assure safe operation under prevailing conditions. Proper guards and other suitable safety devices
or procedures as may be desirable or as may be specified in safety codes should be provided, and are neither provided by Rockwell Automation
nor are the responsibility of Rockwell Automation. This unit and its associated equipment must be installed, adjusted and maintained by qualified
personnel who are familiar with the construction and operation of all equipment in the system and the potential hazards involved. When risk to
persons or property may be involved, a holding device must be an integral part of the driven equipment beyond the speed reducer output shaft.
GENERAL INFORMATION
DODGE ISAF and IP Spherical Roller Bearing mounted
units incorporate a unique way of mounting and dismounting
the units to and from the shaft. The patented IMPERIAL
system (Pat. #5,489,156) pulls the bearing on the adapter
based upon a predetermined clockwise rotation of the
locknut. Dismounting is accomplished via counterclockwise
rotation of the locknut. Keep in mind that the thread on
the locknut as well as on the adapter is a left-hand thread.
WARNING
To ensure that drive is not unexpectedly started,
turn-off and lock out or tag power source before
proceeding. Failure to observe these precautions
could result in bodily injury.
INSPECTION
Inspect shaft. Ensure that the shaft is smooth, straight,
clean, and within commercial tolerance. Inspect unit. Do
not allow unit to be exposed to any dirt or moisture.
MOUNTING
Install the non-expansion unit first.
1. Apply a coating of light oil or other rust inhibitor to the
adapter area of the shaft.
2. Before mounting bearing to shaft, remove lockplate
from bearing and turn locknut counterclockwise one to
two turns to allow adapter to expand fully. The unit is
now shaft ready. Slide the bearing to the desired posi-
tion on the shaft.
Keep weight off bearing during mounting via a
sling or jacks.
3. Proper locking of this unit to the shaft is based on
turning the locknut clockwise a predetermined num-
ber of degrees shown for each bore size on Table 1.
