Disassembly:
Note 1: The vibrator shaft is pressed into the
side plates. The side plates have a slip fit in
the housing.
1. Remove the four ⅜" hex bolts and lock washers
from each side plate.
2. Opposite the air inlet, using a press, carefully
press against the backside of the shaft. This
will push out the (exhaust) side plate and the
shaft (as one assembly). Protect the air inlet
connection. The inner and outer rollers will
come out with the shaft. Remove blind side
plate if necessary.
3. Lift air vane from shaft. Inspect side plates,
shaft, and vane for wear. Any grooving on the
side plates or noticeable wear on the inner
roller, shaft, or vane requires component
replacement.
Assembly:
It is important to keep in mind the mounted
orientation of the vibrator. The vane and side plates
must be properly positioned to place the vane on
top of the shaft to give the proper direction of
rotation when mounted.
Note 2: Below is an exploded view of the GCD
vibrator. Notice the position of the blind side plate,
which has three slots milled halfway through
the plate, and the exhaust side plate, which has
three slots milled all the way through the plate.
The slots of the side plates must be directly
across from each other. These plates must be
positioned with the grooves in the vane facing
away from these three slots.
1. Assemble the shaft. Press or tap the keys into
the keyways in the shaft. Place the vane in the
shaft so that the grooves in the vane will be
facing away from the three milled slots of each
side plate. See page 11 for orientation of vane.
2. Exhaust side plate installation: Using the key as
a guide, align the shaft/key with the keyway on
the exhaust side plate. Press air inlet end of the
shaft into the exhaust side plate until it stops.
3. Install the exhaust side plate/shaft assembly
into the vibrator housing. Be sure its orientation
will place the vane on top of the shaft and
give the desired direction of rotation when the
vibrator is in the mounted position. Align the
bolt holes in the side plate with the threaded
holes in the vibrator housing. Install the hex
bolts and lock washers with Loctite
®
262 and
tighten the bolts to 33 ft·lb torque (44 Nm).
4. Make sure all foreign material is out of the
vibrator housing and the rollers. Place the
rollers on the shaft inside the housing. Place
smaller roller inside the larger roller.
5. Press the blind side plate onto the end of the
shaft and into the vibrator housing. Align the
bolt holes and the keyway of the blind side
plate. Install the hex bolts and lock washers
with Loctite
®
262 and tighten the bolts to 33
ft·lb torque (44 Nm).
