Assemble Angle-Head
Sub-Assembly:
Step 1
Use the RAISED CENTER of the 96243 Bearing Press Tool and the arbor press to install the 54542 Bearings(2) onto the
54549 Work Spindle and the 54541 Spindle.
Step 2
Use the RAISED CENTER of the 96418 Bearing Press Tool and the arbor press to install the 54537 Bearing onto the
54549 Work Spindle.
Step 3
Use the 54536 Shim Pack. To start, install a .002" (0.05 mm) thick shim into the 54547 Angle Housing. Install 54549 Work Spindle with bearings into the angle housing.
Notice: Shim pack contains .002" (0.05 mm)
and .005" (~0.13 mm) thick shims.
Step 4
Use the 96165 Pin Wrench to install the 54550 Bearing Cap hand-tight.
Important: Left Hand Thread
Turn counterclockwise.
Step 5
Rotate the work spindle to check the fit in the angle housing.
The spindle should turn smoothly. Also, check axial movement of the spindle.
Notice:
a) If spindle rotation is rough, remove the shim and check rotation again.
b) If there is axial movement, add shims as required.
Step 6
When the adjustment is correct, apply Loctite #7649 Primer to the threads of the 54550 Bearing Cap. Apply a small amount of Loctite #567 (or equivalent) to the threads of the bearing cap. Use the 96165 Pin Wrench to tighten the bearing cap.
(T to 1.2 N•m/~11 in. lbs.)
Step 7
Install the 95398 Bearing onto the 54541 Spindle.
Notice: If necessary, use the Raised Center of the
96243 Bearing Press Tool and the arbor press.
Step 8
Install the 54541 Spindle with bearings into the housing.
Install the 54540 Retaining Nut. (T to 34 N•m/~300 in. Lbs.)
Step 9
With the 54541 Spindle secured in the angle housing, shake the angle housing assembly to check movement of the spindle assembly.
Important: Minimal movement is desired to
reduce gear backlash.
Notice: If there is movement, use the 54536 Shim Pack and add shims as required. Shim pack contains
.002" (0.05 mm) and .005" (~0.13 mm) thick shims.
Step 10
Fasten the wrench flats of the 54547 Angle Housing in a vise with aluminum or bronze jaws.
Step 11
Join the 53451 or 53454 Adapter to the 54547 Angle Housing.
Use an adjustable wrench to tighten the 54527 Lock Ring.
Important: Left Hand Thread.
Turn counterclockwise. (T to 34 N•m/~300 in. lbs.)
