8.2 Verifying Handwheel Operation
After your actuator is completely assembled, test the Handwheel for MANUAL operation. Put the Declutch Lever in MANUAL mode, turn
the Handwheel in either direction to ensure MANUAL operation is turning the Drive Sleeve mechanism. If there is resistance to turning
the Handwheel, the Declutch Lever Assembly is not properly disengaging the Motor Cam from the Clutch Pinion Assembly. If this occurs,
review the Handwheel shimming procedure to ensure Handwheel shimming is accurate. If you determine the shimming procedure was
correctly followed, call the Limitorque Service Department for further assistance.
8.3 Thrust Base Assembly and Shimming
NOTE:
The piece numbers below are referenced on the Thrust Base Group illustrated parts breakdown.
1. Install one set of Thrust Washers (piece 104) and Thrust Bearing (piece 103) on each end of Stem Nut (piece 101). Ensure that the
Thrust Bearing (piece 103) is sandwiched between the two Thrust Washers (piece 104) on either end of the Stem Nut as shown in the
drawing.
2. Install the two Quad Rings (piece 107) in the seal grooves on the Stem Nut and lightly grease the seal and stem nut journal to aid in
installation.
3. Place the Stem Nut into the Thrust Base Housing (piece 100) taking care not to damage the Quard Ring.
4. Install O-ring (piece 106) on the Thrust Base Plate (piece 102) and lightly grease the seal and journal to aid in installation.
5. Test fit Thrust Base Plate (piece 102) onto the Stem Nut and Thrust Base Housing taking care not to damage the two seals. Do not
install the Shim Set (piece 108) at this time. It may be necessary to install several Cap Screws (piece 112) to temporarily secure the
assembly.
6. Using a flat feeler guage, measure the gap between the flanges of the Thrust Base Housing and Thrust Base Plate. Then remove the
Thrust Base Plate.
7. Fill the bearing cavity with grease and reinstall the Thrust Base Plate using the required quantity and thickness of shims to equal the
measured gap value rounded to the nearest .005". (See Note below.)
8. Secure the assembly using the Cap Screws (piece 112) and top off the lubricant using the grease fitting.
NOTE:
Piece 108 is a shim set consisting of two .005" thick shims and two .010" thick shims. This allows a shimming range from zero
to .030" in increments of .005".
