VIBRATOR HEADS — MAINTENANCE
Assemble the Head to the Casing:
11. Clean the casing threads and the mating threads on the
head with an anaerobic sealant primer and allow to dry.
12. Apply a ring of anaerobic high strength sealand to the casing
threads. Screw the casing into the head and tighten.
13. Allow to set one hour before use.
To Reassemble a Vibrator Head:
1. Bearing Installation: Bearing installation should take
place under the cleanest possible conditions. Inspect the
spindle bearing seat diameter for nicks and burrs. If any
are found, carefully remove using a stone or fine file. Wipe
the bearing seat diameter with head oil to help prevent
galling while the bearing is being pressed on. While
installing the bearing, the installation force should always
be applied squarely and evenly to the inner race of the
bearing. (Ref. 3)
2. Seal Installation: Remove any nicks or burrs that will
interfere with the installation of the seal. Make sure the
seal is facing the right direction and that it is properly
positioned so that it will seat squarely without damage.
See illustration on page 12. Use an installation tool that
will apply the force evenly around the outer edge of the
seal.
3. Insert the spindle with upper bearings assembled on it,
into the housing. Using a light push fit, seat the bearings
into the housing. (Ref. 4)
4. Insert the seals into the casing adapter per the seal
installation instructions. (See page 12)
5. Clean the casing adapter external threads and the mating
internal threads on the housing with anaerobic primer and
let dry. (Ref. 1,9)
CAUTION!CAUTION!
CAUTION!CAUTION!
CAUTION!
DO NOT use more than the specified amount
of lubricant in the vibrator head. Over-filling
will cause the head to overheat and lead to
premature failure.
8. Assemble the lower bearings to the spindle. (Ref. 3)
9. Clean the tip threads and the mating threads on the housing
with anaerobic sealant primer. Allow to dry. (Ref. 1,12)
10. Apply a high strength anaerobic sealant to the tip threads
and screw the tip into the housing. Threads are right-hand.
(Ref. 1,12)
4. Remove the cap screw or hex nut that holds the lower
bearings in place. (Ref. 2)
5. Remove the spindle with the upper bearings still attached.
The lower bearings (tip-end) can now be removed from
the housing.(Ref. 4)
6. Remove and discard the oil seals. Note the way the seals
face so that the new seals will be installed correctly. (Ref. 5)
7. Thoroughly clean all parts with a degreasing solvent and
blow dry with air. Compressed air is not recommended for
cleaning and drying solvents out of the bearings. Bearings
should never be spun at high speed using compressed air.
(Ref. 3)
8. After cleaning, inspect all parts for wear. The bearings
should be checked by applying a light thrust load against
one bearing ring, while slowly rotating the other ring. Do
this in both directions. If any roughness or excessive
looseness is felt, the bearing should be replaced. Any
other parts that show heavy wear should also be replaced
at this time. (Ref. 3)
6. Apply a high strength anaerobic sealant to the external
threads of the casing adapter. Screw the adapter into the
housing and tighten. Threads are left-hand. (Ref. 1,9)
7. Tip head over and pour in the required amount of Stow
Lube P/N 12000-301. Refer to General Specifications Table
on page 11.
