Replacing the cam follower 

 

 

 WARNING 

 

 

Unexpected start-up of movable components 

Persons can be hit by moving components and seriously injured. 

 

Disconnect the power and/or energy supply before the assembly work and secure against 
reconnection 

 

 

 

 

NOTICE 

 

 

Damage to components 

Insufficient protection against contamination/dirt can cause material damage. 

 

Do not allow foreign bodies to get inside the mechanics 

 

Cover holes to protect against penetrating dirt 

 

Clean clearance holes and shafts before assembly 

 

If clearance occurs in one or multiple stations when checking the rotary indexer, the cam followers must be replaced. 

The rotary indexer must be completely disconnected from the power supply to ensure that the dismantling and maintenance 
of the cam follower are carried out safely and efficiently. All external attachments that prevent access to the cam followers 
must be dismantled properly. 

The following tools are required to prepare for dismantling of the cam followers: 

 

Double hook, slotted screwdriver 

 

Retaining ring pliers for internal rings 

 

Internal extractor 

 

Hexagon socket wrench for hexagon head screws 

 

The following spare parts and wearing parts are recommended: 

 

Cap plug 

 

Retaining ring 

 

Schnorr lock washer 

 

TKR Taktomat cam follower
