2.6 Installation of Element and Drums
(Dual Wide)
2.6.1 Separate the shafts as far as the bearing clearances
will allow.
2.6.2 Attach the drum having the female register on the
drum flange to the drum hub with short screws and
lockwashers. There are tapped holes in the drum
flange to accept the screws. Make sure the bore in the
drum flange fully engages the pilot on the drum hub.
See Figure 3.
2.6.3 Disassemble the dual element into two halves and,
noting the orientation of the air connections, place the
element onto the drum installed in 2.6.2.
2.6.4 Noting the orientation of the flange on the remaining
drum with respect to the air connections on the
remaining element, slide the drum into the element.
2.6.5 Hoist the element/drum into position, align the tapped
holes in the drum having the male pilot with the
tapped holes in the drum attached to the drum hub,
and attach both drums to the drum hub with the appro-
priate fasteners. See Table 1. Make sure the male pilot
fully engages the female register.
Use only the proper grade and number of fas-
teners. Using commercial grade fasteners
(Grade 2) in place of Grade 8 fasteners (where
called for) may result in failure of the fasten-
ers under load, causing personal injury or
equipment damage.

2.6.6 Align the air connections and reassemble the element
halves, making sure the spacers are in place between
the elements. See Figure 11.
2.6.7 Reassemble the air connection tubes. If an elbow has
been removed, use a good quality pipe sealant on the
threads. See Figure 11.
Note : The elbow assemblies on the outboard element
(farthest from the spider) use rubber compression
sleeves. Make sure the sleeves are secure on the long
air tubes.
2.6.8 Install the air connection gaskets onto the air tubes.
The metal backup washer is to be positioned toward’s
the elbow (away from the spider). See Figure 10.
2.6.9 Align the element air connections with the correspond-
ing passages in the spider and attach the element to
the spider with the appropriate fasteners. See Table 1.
Make sure the element fully engages the register in
the spider.
Use only the proper grade and number of fas-
teners. Using commercial grade fasteners
(Grade 2) in place of Grade 8 fasteners may
result in failure of the fasteners under load,
causing personal injury or equipment dam-
age.
2.7 Air Control System
2.7.1 A typical air control system is shown on Figure 12.
Since the air control system used will be dependent on
the specific application, a detailed description cannot
be made in this manual. Following are some general
guidelines for installing and adjusting air controls.
2.7.1.1 The air receiver tank must be located as close to the
rotorseal as possible for consistent clutch or brake
response.
2.7.1.2 Use full size piping and valves consistent with the
rotorseal size.
2.7.1.3 Keep the number of elbows to a minimum.
2.7.1.4 Use poppet-type solenoid valves. Spool valves are not
recommended.
2.7.1.5 An air line lubricator is not required for the element;
however, if one is used, it must be a non-adjustable,
mist-type.
