Plunger screw will be tightened to torque given in Table 4,
following procedure described below.
Cap Loaded Bearings:
To install cap in cap loaded bearings, tighten plunger screw
to torque given in Table 4 while shaft is held down. Mark the
position of the plunger screw. Loosen plunger screw one turn
and loosen shaft hold down.
Next, tighten plunger screw to the mark. Remove shaft hold
down and tighten plunger screw locknut.
NOTE: Do NOT tighten plunger screw on accompanying
base loaded bearing until cap loaded bearing has been
installed and shaft hold down removed.
BASE LOADED BEARINGS
:
Tighten plunger screw to torque given in Table 4 and secure with
locknut.
INSTALLATION OF GROMMETS
AND OIL GAUGE
Install grommet and grommet plate over coolant pipes.
Apply RTV or a non-hardening sealant on the housing
grommet area and between the grommet and grommet
plates, and around coolant pipes.
NUTS
PLATES
BUSHINGS
GROMMET
Install bushings and nuts on pipes (snug not tight).
Oil level gauge may be located any distance from the pillow block
by use of a coupling and pipe of desired length. The extended
pipe must be supported so that it remains straight and level with
no offsets (use a spirit level—do not guess). Use pipe sealer on
all connections.
When pillow block is arranged for circulating oil, the oil level
is controlled by the drain system and the oil level gage is not
needed
