The test stands require very little maintenance; however, periodic lubrication of the
rundown fixture is critical to the longevity of the tool and repeatability of tool testing. The
rundown bolt and washers should be periodically removed and inspected, and if
necessary, coated with a high pressure anti-seize lubricant.
We recommend McMaster Carr part number 1028K65 "Standard Nickel Antiseize
Lubricant". After lubrication, replace the rundown washers as shown below. (some units
have an additional washer installed. If there are 6 washers on your unit, install the last one
to the right of the last washer shown below, facing the same way). You can configure
your rundown to be “harder” or more “compliant” this may affect your torque result.
