ALIGNMENT CHECK OF AN ASSEMBLED UNIT Use the following procedure and make a record of a1 measurements and indicator readings. Do not make corrections for misalignment until after all measurements are made; see ANALYSIS OF MEASUREVENTS on page 14. Yove the crankshaft toward the front of the engine to remove all end play. Move the generator shaft ‘oward the engine to remove al1 end play. Use a steel rule or a 6F6922 epth Micrometer (1) to measure ‘mension (x). Move the generator until dimension (X) fs .34 4 0.3" (8.6 + 0.8) for front driven gen- crators or .41 + .03" (10.4 + 0.8) for rear driven generators. NOTE: if plates (2) or (3) have no ‘oun*-rbore, measure dimension (X) from face (E). If plates (2) or (3) have a counterbore, measure di- ven: a (X)'from face (F). stall FTIONO Alignment Yoke (4), FTIOTI Alignnent Bar (5) and diel indicators (6) and (7) as shown for vont driven or rear driven generators. 2 ‘Put the dial indicators at position (A). Move the engine crankshaft toward the front of the engine to remove al] end play. Move the generator shaft toward the engine to remove end play. Zero the dial indicators. Rotate the crankshaft in the normal direction of rotation, and make a record of the read- ings 90° apart at (B), (C), (D) and back to (A). Before taking indicator readings at each position, make sure all end play is renoved from the crankshaft and generator shaft. NALYSIS OF MEASUREMENTS © alignment must be as follows: a) On new units (or units being realigned), a TIR between (A) and (C) of up to .008" (0.20) is f : 0 .20) 1s per- mitted, On used units, reatignnent of the generator is not n ei the 7 and (6) is wore than .012" (0.30). aie ans hued eemearaae ! b) On new units (or units being realigned), a TIR between (B) and (D) of up to .008" (0.20) is eet) a used ae gies tasey on the peace is not necessary until the TIR between an more than 012" (0.30). In both cases, the readin. us (B) must equ a rats S. e gs at (B) plus (D) must equal ore alignment must be as follows: | a) On new front driven units (or front driven units being realigned), the TIR between (A) and (c) must be .018 + .002" (0.46 + 0.05). IMPORTANT: Because the eenterline of the generator shaft { must be above the centerline of the crankshaft, the indicator reading at (C) must be minus (~) when the reading at (A) is .000" (0.00) and indicator (1) is installed as shown, { @) b) On used front driven units, the TIR between (A) and (C) must be .018 + .010" (0.46 + 0.25) with a-minus (-) reading at (C). If the reading is not within these specifications, realignment of ‘the generator will be necessary. c) On new rear driven units (or rear driven units being realigned), the TIR between (A) and (c) | ust be .015 + .002" (0.38 + 0.05). IMPORTANT: Because the centerline of the generator shaft hnust be above the centerline of the crankshaft, the indicator reading at (C) must be plus (+) when the reading at (A) is .000" (0.00) and indicator (2) is installed as shown, d) On used rear driven units, the TIR between (A) and (C) must be .015 + .010" (0.38 + 0.25) with a plus (+) reading at (C). If the reading 1s not within these specifications, realignment of the generator will be necessary. fe) The TIR between (B) and (D) can be a maximum of .008" (0.20) for new units (or units being re~ aligned) and .012" (0.30) for used units.
