SETTING IMPELLER END CLEARANCE

Refer to FIGURE 18, page 18. The gear end

bearings are held in position by the force created

by the wavy spring (28) on the drive end and the

bearing retainer (12) on the gear end. The inter-

ference fit between the shaft (H) and the bearing

inner race (E) keeps the shaft from moving axially.

End clearance adjustment of both impellers is

controlled by adjustment of the bearing retainer

(12). Tightening the bearing retainer screws (10)

moves the bearing to load the wavy spring (28),

and the impeller is forced toward the drive end.

Relaxing the screws allows the wavy spring to re-

turn the impeller toward the gear end.

A. With impellers tight against the gear head-

plate, measure the distance (A) from the

bearing outer race to the gear headplate us-

ing a depth micrometer (see FIGURE 22,

page 21.

B. Subtract 1/3 of the total end clearance from

the value measured at point A. This value is

the amount of shim (13) that should be

placed between the retainer and the head-

plate at point (S).

C. Secure bearing retainer (12) with the correct

amount of shim, to the headplate using

capscrews (10). Torque capscrews to the

specifications given in FIGURE 24, page 24.

D. Recheck end clearances. Approximately 1/3

of the total end clearance should be on the

gear end and the remaining 2/3 on the drive

end (refer to FIGURE 21, page 20).

If clearances require adjusting, loosen the bearing

retainer capscrews (10) and insert shims to move

the impeller closer to the gear headplate and

remove shims to move the impellers away from

the gear headplate.

INSTALLING THE TIMING GEARS

Impellers are held in time by gears which are taper

pinned and bolted to a timing hub, which in turn is

pressed and taper pinned onto the shaft. The

timing gears can be rotated in relation to the hub

by removing the taper pins in the web of the gear

and loosening the capscrews. Because the cap-

screws are oversized, the gear will rotate -- within

limits -- relative to the timing hub when the screws

are loosened.

FIGURE 23

A. Apply a light grease, or oil, on the shaft area

where the timing gear will be positioned.

B. Lubricate the inside diameter of spacers (32)

with assembly lubricant and install on the

gear end shafts.

C. Using a piece of paper large enough to cover

the open end of the gear headplate, trace the

shafts on the paper and cut-out shaft holes.

This will be placed on the shafts before the

gears to protect the bearings from metal

shavings when drilling taper pin holes in the

following procedure.

D. Place feeler stock in the amount of 1/3 of the

total end clearance between drive headplate

and both impellers. This will stop the impel-

lers from contacting the headplate while the

gears are being driven on.

If installing gears on a blower

containing mechanical seals, a press

must be used to drive the gears on the

shafts.

Blows from a hammer or

mallet will damage the seal.

E. If reusing the timing gears and hubs, they

should be returned to their original position

with respect to the impellers.

If replacement gears are used, secure each

gear (9) to its timing hub (39) with capscrews

(38) and lockwasher (37) and tighten slightly.
