5. Assemble bushing and sheave as shown in figure “B” on page 26. When cap screws are loosely inserted,
bushing remains fully expanded to provide a sliding fit on the shaft.
6. Insert key on the shaft, then slide sheave to desired position with cap screw heads to the outside.
7. Tighten cap screws progressively. There should remain a gap between the sheave hub and the flange of the
bushing.
IMPORTANT: Tighten screws evenly and progressively . Never allow the sheave to be drawn in
contact with the flange of the bushing. This gap should measure from 1/8” to 1/4”.
Proper cap screw torque is 6 ft-lbs., (8 Nm). If greater tightening forces are applied,
excess pressures will be created in the hub of the mounted sheave which may cause it
to crack.
