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).
