Stationary shaft
Make sure the stationary shaft is free from cracks and scoring.
Containment shell
• The containment shell must be free from scratches or cracks.
• Replace the containment shell when grooves are in excess of 0.01 in. (0.25 mm) for the
outside diameter and 0.030 in. (0.75 mm) for the inside diameter.
• Make sure that the shaft fits snugly in the containment shell.
Magnet assembly
WARNING:
The magnets in this unit are extremely powerful. Beware of serious injury to fingers and hands. Keep
magnetic drive components and magnetic tools apart by a minimum of 3 ft (1 m).
The magnets are extremely brittle. It is normal to have chips (up to 10% of the magnet surface)
per MMPA standard no. 0100-90.
• Make sure that magnets are free of major cracks that extend over 50% of the surface and
are free of imperfections that create loose particles.
