Familiarize yourself with this operator’s manual before operating this equipment.
WARNING!
NEVER stand, sit or ride on the turntable!
1.
Press the “CW” button to cause a clockwise rotation of the turntable. When the
“CW” button is pressed, the coil of the motor starter will close the line contact
permitting electrical power to be applied to the motor. The rotating motor shaft is
mechanically coupled to a gear reducer.
CHAIN AND SPROCKET DESIGN
The gear reducer has an output shaft keyed to a drive sprocket. A drive chain
connects the drive sprocket to a large diameter sprocket attached to the
underside of the turntable platform. As the motor rotates, the output shaft turns
and rotates the platform in the clockwise direction.
RING BEARING DESIGN
The gear reducer output shaft is keyed to a custom-fit gear that meshes with and
drives the drive ring of the ring bearing. The drive ring is bolted to and rotates
the turntable platform in the clockwise direction.
2. Press the “CCW” button to cause a counter-clockwise rotation of the turntable.
Pressing the “CCW” button will cause the reversing motor starter to engage and
start the motor. The platform will rotate counter-clockwise.
3.
Normally, the platform will continue to rotate as long as the buttons are pushed.
For turntables installed in automated systems, the platform can be stopped by
pressing the emergency stop (e-stop) or “panic” mushroom button.
