Rapid-Air SERVO FEED: 100C, 100D series - Manual (Page 22)


Prior to assembly, attention must be
given to points of contact that require
an application of Moly-Cote, Lubri-
plate or other suitable heavy grease.
The points are:
1. The main roll piston and the spiral
pins in the main roller tie plate
which can be seen by viewing
straight down through the center

of the feed at approximately half
way from the inlet to the exit roller.
The piston is positioned
horizontally at the base of the feed
and approximately in the center of
the feed if viewing from the gear
box to the belt cover.
2. The mechanical roll release shaft
located at the exit side of the feed.
Three screws have to be removed
and then the keeper plate can be
removed. The inner shaft should
be thoroughly greased to prevent
sticking. Do not apply excessive
grease as it may fall onto the
drive rollers and cause
misfeeding due to material
slippage. All bearings are sealed
and need no additional lubrication.
The gear box oil must be kept up to
sight gauge level and changed after ev-
ery 2000 hours of use. Recommended
oil is Mobil #SHC630 or equivalent. The
oil reservoir capacity is 3.5 oz. The oil
can be drained by removal of the drain
plug located near the base of the gear
housing cover, just below the sight

gauge. The oil reservoir is filled through
the pipe thread port occupied by the air
breather plug near the upper edge of
the gear housing cover.
NOTE: The original break-in oil in the
gear box should be changed after 100
hours of cycle time and examined for
chips or foreign matter. Replace the
gear box oil per instructions.
PINCH ROLL ACTUATING PISTONS
Periodically grease with lubriplate or
equivalent grease to pinch roll actuat-
ing piston nose where it contacts the
pressure plate.
