towards the compressor. Record measurement
5. Add both measurements. If measurement is out of
allowable tolerance shown in Table 5-9, the bearing
may need to be replaced. Contact Vilter Customer
Service.

6. Install dial indicator to the compressor frame and
zero indicator, see Figure 5-17.
NOTE
Do not exceed maximum applied force. For
maximum applied forces of all compressor models,
see Table 5-9.
7. Place lever arm and fulcrum underneath hub and
push hub upwards. Record measurement.
8. If measurement is out of allowable tolerance shown
in Table 5-9, the bearing may need to be replaced.

BEARING AXIAL FLOAT INSPECTION
CAUTION
When taking the measurements, do not exceed
300 lbs of force at point of contact or damage may
result to the bearings.
DETERMINE MAXIMUM APPLIED FORCE
To determine maximum applied force, take maximum
applied force at hub/shaft multiplied by length of A
and divide by length B. This is the maximum force that
should be applied on the lever.
(Applied Force x A)/B = Applied Force (Maximum)
So, using a 36” (or 1 m) lever with pivot space of 6” (or
15 cm) would make the maximum applied force to be 60
lbf (or 235 N). Calculation is as follows:
(300 lbf x 6”)/30” = 60 lbf (Max.
Applied Force
)
(1335 N x 15 cm)/85 cm = 235 N (Max.

MEASURE
To inspect bearing axial
fl
oat, proceed with the following
steps:
1. Remove center member, see appropriate Drive
Coupling Replacement procedure.
2. Install dial indicator to the compressor frame and
zero indicator, see Figure 5-16.
3. Place lever arm and fulcrum behind compressor
coupling half and push the coupling towards the
motor. Record measurement.
4. Re-zero indicator, now position the fulcrum on the
