Camco 1150E, 950E, 2050E, 1550E service manual Output Bearing Removal, Output Bearing Installation

Refer to the model number of your Index Drive for the amount of dwell provided. Also refer to "Interpretation of Index Drive Model Number" in the General Service Manual.

WARNING

CAMCO’s Heavy Duty "E" Series Index Drives cannot be "hand cranked" when completely assembled, i.e. with follower wheel installed. During some portions of repair, the motor drive package is used to rotate the input shaft and follower wheel. Some means for running the motor at extremely low speeds is manda- tory. Use extreme caution when operating the motor during repairs.

2.Remove 16 to 40 socket head cap screws (item # 28). CAMCO used Red Perma- Lok®‚ when tightening these screws and it may require heating the screw for ease of removal.

CAUTION

Do not overheat. Overheating can distort mating parts.

Note: Some E-Series Index Drives may have pull type dowel pins installed between the fol- lower wheel and output bearing. This is not standard practice. If dowel pins were installed, use a Slide Hammer and remove these dowel pins.

3.Thread lifting eyes into the tapped holes in the output face of the follower wheel. (Two places 180 degrees apart or three places 120 degrees apart).

4.Using a boom crane or hoist, lift up the fol- lower wheel. The follower wheel should break free at this point and permit it to be lifted clear. If binding occurs between the output wheel and the locating pilot, break free by tapping the follower wheel with a soft faced hammer, alternating from side to side.

CAUTION

See "Approximate Weights" within this Service Manual for sizing the lift device.

OUTPUT BEARING REMOVAL:

1.If the output bearing (Item #2) is to be replaced, remove the 16 to 40 socket head cap screws (Item #30) fastening the output bearing (Item #6) to the housing. CAMCO used Red Perma-Lok‚ when tightening these screws and it may require heating the screw for ease of removal.

CAUTION

Do not overheat. Overheating can distort mating parts.

2.From the underside of the housing flange, drive the dowel pins (Item # 31) upward and out of the bearing.

3.Thread lifting eyes into the tapped holes in the top face of the output bearing. (two places 180 degrees apart or three places 120 degrees apart).

4.Using a boom crane or hoist, lift up the output bearing. The output bearing should break free at this point and permit lifting it clear. If binding occurs, break the output bearing free by tapping the bearing with a soft faced hammer, alternating from side to side.

CAUTION

See "Approximate Weights" within this Service Manual for sizing the lift device.

OUTPUT BEARING INSTALLATION:

1.Install the output bearing using the follow- ing steps.

2.Apply a bead of "General Electric Silicone Rubber RTV-6" on top of the housing in the area of bearing contact.
