SBS System – SB-1000 Operation
Warning!!
- All lock screws must be properly secured each time the Adaptor Nut or Adaptor Flange is
installed to preventing the assembly from coming loose during operation of the grinder. Screws should be
wrench tight
(torque provided by a standard hand wrench, without hammer or other tools).
Follow this assembly procedure to ensure
proper mounting of Adaptor Nuts and Flanges
were lock screws are part of the adaptor
design:
1.
Loosen all lock screws before
assembly. The engagement end of
these screws should be below flush
with the face of the adaptor/flange
where they exit.
2.
Screw the Adaptor nut onto the
machine wrench tight, using the
supplied wrench. Use of hammers
or wrench extension bars is not
advised.
3.
Tighten all the lock screws in the Adaptor Nut wrench tight.
4.
Thread the Balancer/adaptor flange assembly onto the mating threads on the Adaptor Nut.
5.
Tighten the lock screws in the Adaptor Flange wrench tight
6.
All lock screws must be fully loosened before attempting removal of these parts from the machine.
The Balancer must be checked for machine clearances at installation.
Make sure there is no interference
between the Balancer/adaptor assembly and any part of the machine (e.g. workhead, tailstock), especially
with the wheel at its smallest diameter. Modify the machine guarding if needed to provide clearance from
the Balancer. Machine guarding should be modified to allow the rotary junction and cable to extend outside
the guard.
The Balancer Cable should be restrained
to prevent the cable from being caught up in
the rotating machine, but should allow for the
cable’s removal as necessary during wheel
changes. Optimally, the cable should be
secured so that the connector on the Balancer
points down, as shown in the diagram. This
position will minimize the chance of fluid or
swarf entering the connector when opened
during wheel changes. If heavy wheels are
being changed, remove the Balancer from the
area during wheel changes. Most adapters for
larger machines are of a two piece design,
which simplifies this process.
Maintenance
Note:
SBS Cable connectors are IP67 fluid sealed when closed, but subject to contamination when open.
Care must be taken to clean out the pin area of cable connectors prior to each re-connection to prevent
premature connector failure. SBS recommends the use of an electrical contact spray lubricant for this
purpose.
