15.2 TORQUE VALUES
Figure 16 shows the torque values for the most important bolts/nuts. The bolts and nuts for
which no values are given must be tightened with the same torque as similar bolts and nuts.
When bolts and nuts come loose, Loctite may be used to prevent this from occurring again.
15.3 ALIGNING AN ELEMENT
.
If an element is no longer in line with the adjacent elements, the alignment can be corrected
as follows: (Zie fig. 17)
-
Loosen the four bolts/nuts A, that connect the crankshaft to the element.
-
Loosen the two bolts B, with which the element is connected to the frame.
-
Try to align the element by moving it sideways until it is in line with
the adjacent elements.
-
Re-tighten all the bolts and nuts.
@ The element can be pushed out of alignment through overloading.
@ Always realign an element whenever a throw is replaced so no extra tension is created in
the total element assembly.
@ Every pre-tension in the element assembly will reduce the life of the bearing and can also
damage other parts.
