Shaft replacement guidelines
Shaft measurement check
Check the bearing fits of the shaft. If any are outside the tolerances shown in the Bearing fits
and tolerances table, then replace the shaft.
Shaft inspection
Check the shaft straightness. Use "V" blocks or balance rollers to support the shaft on the
bearing fit areas. Replace the shaft if runout exceeds 0.03 mm | 0.001 in.
NOTICE: Do not use shaft centers for the runout check as they may have been damaged
during the removal of the bearings or impeller.
Shaft inspection
Check the shaft surface for damage, especially in areas indicated by the arrows in the following
figure. Replace the shaft if it is damaged beyond reasonable repair.
