REPLACEMENT OF PARTS
Dodge is prepared to repair Screw Conveyor Drive
speed reducers for customers who do not have the
proper facilities or for those who desire factory service
However, if the customer has access to an arbor press,
equipment for heating and shrinking bearings and gears
on shafts, and the tools normally found in a maintenance
department, the Screw Conveyor Drive speed reducer
can easily be disassembled and reassembled by careful
attention to the following instructions.
Cleanliness
is
very
important
to
prevent
the
introduction of dirt into the bearings and other parts of
the reducer. The oil seals are of the rubbing type and
considerable
care
should
be
exercised
during
disassembly or reassembly to avoid damage to the
surfaces on which these seals rub. Any sharp edges on
the input shaft or output hub should be covered with
adhesive tape or paper before performing any work on
the unit. Nicks and burrs on surfaces of the input shaft
or output hub should be removed.
ORDERING PARTS
When ordering parts specify Screw Conveyor Drive
Size and Serial No., part name, part number and
quantity.
Parts that must be pressed from shafts or output hub
should be removed before ordering parts. This assures
that those parts, if damaged during pressing operation,
will be replaced. Do not press against the outer race of
any ball bearing.
It is recommended that when a pinion or gear is
replaced, its mating gear or pinion be replaced also.
This insures that the gear teeth will mesh properly. If the
large gear on the output hub must be replaced, it is
suggested that an output hub assembly, consisting of a
gear assembled on an output hub, be ordered to secure
an output hub with undamaged surfaces on which the oil
seals rub. However, if the old output hub is to be used.
carefully press the gear and bearing cones off.
Thoroughly examine the area under the oil seals for
scratches or any other damage resulting from the
pressing operation. To prevent leakage at the oil seals,
the rubbing area must be smooth.
Replacements for the oil seals should be ordered,
due to the probability of these parts being damaged
during disassembly.
If replacing an output hub or input shaft on 5A
bearing, output hub, input shaft or reducer housing, it is
advisable to order a set of output hub or input shaft
shims because the adjustment of the output hub bearing
or input shaft bearing on 5A will be affected.
REMOVING SCREW CONVEYOR DRIVE FROM THE
TROUGH END
Disconnect any electrical power to the drive. Drain
lubricant from reducer. Uncouple drive shaft and screw.
Remove nuts from trough end studs. Support drive by
means of hoist and carefully pull unit away from trough
end to slide drive shaft out of screw.
DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove motor from motor mount. Remove retainer
bolt, lockwasher and shaft retainer from drive shaft.
Pull drive shaft out of reducer from adapter side.
Remove adapter.
2. Position reducer on its side and remove all bolts.
Gently top the output hub and input shaft with a soft
hammer (rawhide not lead hammer) to separate the
housing halves. Open housing evenly to prevent
damage to the ports inside.
3. Lift shaft, gear and bearing assemblies from housing.
4. Remove input shaft, output hub and adapter seals.
Remove output hub seal carrier and shims. Remove
output hub and input shaft on 5A bearing cups from
housing.
5. Clean all ports in solvent, inspect for damage and
coat with oil.
REASSEMBLY
1. Output Hub Assembly: Heat gear to 325 to 350: F.
to shrink onto output hub. Heat bearing cones to 270 to
290 F. to shrink onto hub.
2. Countershaft Assembly: Shaft and pinion are
integral. Press gear and bearings onto shaft. Press
against inner (not outer) race of bearings.
3. Input Shaft Assembly: Shaft and pinion are integral.
Press bearings on shaft. Press against inner (not outer)
race of bearings.
4. Drive the two dowel pins back into position in the
right-hand housing half (adapter mounting side). Place
housing half on blocks to allow clearance. Put the output
hub (and input shaft on 5A) bearing cup in place, make
certain that it is properly seated in the housing.
