5.4 ADJUSTMENT OF THE 90° VEE BEARINGS PRE-LOAD
1. Remove the Drive Housing(s) before you make adjustments.
2. Loosen the Bearing Lock Screws and Adjustment Eccentric Nuts, about 1/4
turn, see Figure 3.
3. Turn the four Bearing Adjustment Eccentric Nuts in so they are tight.
4. Center the OD of the gear with the OD of the housing.
5. Lightly turn in the remaining Bearing Adjustment Eccentric Nuts until
the bearings contact the Headstock. The safe torque range on the Bearing
Adjustment Eccentric Nuts is 1 in-lbs (.1 Nm) to 3 in-lbs (.3 Nm).
6. Loosen the four (4) Bearing Adjustment Eccentric Nuts and tighten them so
the bearings are evenly loaded against the gear race.
CAUTION
CAUTION: You must adjust the vee berings according to these
instructions to decrease the risk of excessive machine wear or
damage that would void the warranty.
CAUTION
CAUTION: Do not over-tighten the Bearing Adjustment Eccentric
Nuts. This will accelerate bearing and gear race wear and will
decrease available power.
