Service manual

CAMCO's warranty service costs are exceedingly low (.1% or less). Most service calls turn out to be

something other than the indexer. This is why we discuss input and output connections in such detail.

See recommended input and output sections.

The following is a compilation of common problems and possible solutions which CAMCO has expe-

rienced with its Index Drives.

CAMCO recommends that technicians experienced in index drives make repair. A full year warranty

is given on any unit rebuilt by CAMCO.

If the customer must rebuild the unit himself, he should refer to the individual service manual that

applies to his model index drive. He should follow step by step procedures for disassembly and

assembly as described in these manuals as well as cautions and warnings. NOTE: CAMCO will not

Warranty any units rebuilt by the customer.

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE

3. Long Term Storage (Outdoors) for Periods up to One Year.

Proceed as in (2) above with the following additions.

(a) After filling the unit with oil, plug the breather hole with a pipe plug and wire the breather hole the unit.

(b) Coat all exposed shafting with long term rust preventative.

4. Extended Storage periods Exceeding One Year.

(a) Coat all exposed shafts with a long term rust preventative.

(b) Place the unit in a heavy plastic bag and put approximately 1/2 oz. #260

"VPI" powder in the bag. Seal the bag air tight.

(d) Purchase a spare set of oil seals to have on hand at start-up.

SYMPTOM: CUSTOMER CLAIMS INDEXER IS INACCURATE

1. Check if unit stops in dwell. See our assembly drawings for keyway position in dwell. Also, refer

to cycle cam and limit switch function in this manual.

2. Is the output shaft backlash-free in dwell? Be sure to disconnect all other devices from the

indexer output including a CAMCO overload clutch. All indexer must be backlash-free in dwell

(see Symptom: Looseness in Dwell).

3. How is the unit being checked? We use a computer controlled checking machine which checks

each index against the theoretically perfect index. Call the factory for assistance. We keep in

spection reports for Special Accuracy units (units which are required to be within closer toler

ances than standard).

SYMPTOM: LOOSENESS IN ONE DWELL

1. Followers are worn and need replaicing.

2. Follower wheel is damaged and needs rework or replacement.
