TO REPLACE THE CARRIAGE LINEAR BEARINGS

NOTE:  Set a small bench or table near the center
front of the machine for use in the following procedure.

1. Remove the optional carriage bellows (if used) from

the carriage.  Remove the actuator release lever from
the linear actuator.

2. Remove the complete carriage assembly from the

machine:

A. Remove the two feed screw guide mounting

screws and remove the grinding head assembly from
the carriage.  Set the ginding head on a bench taking
care as to not damage the power cord.     Remove
the actuator mounting screw, to disconnect the ac-
tuator from the carriage (this is located on the top
side of the carriage base See Fig. 22).

B. Remove the bolts which secure the front and rear

carriage rails to the Grinder base (six screws for
each rail, accessible from beneath the machine).

The grinding head assembly
weighs about 50 lbs (23 kg).
The carriage assembly weighs
about 50 lbs (23 kg).  Take
appropriate action when lifting.

C. Lift the complete assembly (carriage and carriage

shafts) out onto a table in front of the Grinder.

3.  Slide the rails out of the bearings one at a time.
4. Remove the three linear bearing pillow blocks and wiper

brackets (four screws each) from the bottom of the car-
riage, and discard the bearings.

5. One at a time, slide the three new linear bearing pillow

blocks onto the carriage rails.

6. Adjust the tension screw (FIG. 23) on the side of each

bearing block so that when you radially rotate the pillow
block around the carriage (See FIG. 24) rail there is no
free play between the bearing and rail.  You should feel a
strong drag.

Repeat this adjustment to all three pillow blocks, and
then remove the pillow blocks from the carriage rail.

NOTE:  The tension is too tight if you feel a cogging
action when you rotate a pillow block around the rail. This
cogging is caused by the bearing skidding on the  rail.
Rocking the bearing block back and forth should be a
smooth uniform motion.

Bearings which are too tight or too loose will
cause poor grinding quality.  Bearings which
are too tight  will also have a much shorter life,
and could damage the rail.
