Part Number OE-A2 - Rev. 07 3-10-01
Before You Start Work, Observe Warnings and Precautions
(Applies to all alternators included in this Chapter.)

WARNING 1: WHEN DISCONNECTING THE AIRCRAFT BATTERY OR

!
EXTERNAL POWER, NOTE THAT THE ENGINE MAGNETO MAY STILL BE
LIVE. TAG THE PROPELLER “DO NOT MOVE” BEFORE ANY SERVICE OR
TESTING IS PERFORMED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR
DEATH SHOULD THE ENGINE “KICK OVER” OR START.

WARNING 2: MAKE SURE THAT ALL ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT IS IN

!
THE OFF OR IN AN INACTIVE POSITION PRIOR TO RE-CONNECTING THE
AIRCRAFT BATTERY OR EXTERNAL POWER. ITEMS SUCH AS STARTER,
LANDING GEAR, AND FLAPS TO NAME A FEW MAY SUDDENLY ACTIVATE
WHEN POWER IS APPLIED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE, AND INJURY OR DEATH SHOULD SHOULD
COMPONENTS ACTIVATE.

PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED WHEN TESTING OR SERVICING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:


1. MAKE FIRE EXTINGUISHER AVAILABLE (for fuel or electrical fires) in a
convenient location whenever working on the electrical system.
2. DISCONNECT THE BATTERY (and/or external power) before connecting or
disconnecting test instruments (except voltmeter), or before removing or replacing any
unit or wiring. Accidental grounding or shorting at the regulator, alternator, ammeter
or accessories, will cause severe damage to the units and/or wiring.
3. The output lead must not be removed from the alternator while the rotor winding is
energized and the alternator is operating.
4. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO POLARIZE THE ALTERNATOR. No polarization is
required. Any attempt to do so may result in damage to the alternator, regulator or
aircraft electrical circuits.
5. Grounding of the alternator output terminal may damage the alternator and/or aircraft
electrical circuit.
6. Reversed battery connections may damage the rectifiers, aircraft wiring or other
components of the charging system. Battery polarity should be checked with a
voltmeter before connecting the battery.
7. If a booster-battery or fast-charger is used, its polarity must be connected correctly to
prevent damage to the electrical system components.
8. When using external power (with or without battery power) be certain that the external
power is of the correct voltage and capacity prior to engaging or applying the power.
Should the incorrect voltage or capacity be used severe damage will occur to electrical
system and it’s components.

SERVICE SPECIFICATIONS:
Bearing Test Prior to Disassembly (Inspection or Repairs):
Before disassembling the alternator, a simple bearing test should be performed regardless of
the reason for alternator removal from the engine. The purpose of the test is to determine if
either of the bearings are a potential for noise or failure.

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


Part Number OE-A2 - Rev. 04 3-30-01
To perform a test for faulty bearings, hold the alternator in one hand and snap-spin the
pulley/shaft with the other. A defective bearing will be heard or felt. In noisy locations, press
the alternator adjusting ear to your ear lobe and snap-spin the pulley/shaft a few times.

To determine which bearing is defective, separate the alternator into its two major assemblies.
Snap-spin the rotor with only the front bearings supporting the shaft, as a method for
determining the condition of the front bearing. The rotor shaft must be held in a vertical plane
in order to avoid misleading results caused by unbalanced bearing loading.

Inspect rear bearing surface of rotor shaft for nicks, chatter marks, and other surface
irregularities. Inspect rear bearing for damage to rollers, or bearing case. Also look for
missing rollers. If grease is hard and dry when smeared or excessively dirty, the bearing
should be replaced. A good bearing may be lubricated with Chevron SRI #2 or exact
equivalent, however do not repack a dry bearing, replace it. At any overhaul, bearings must
be discarded and replaced with new.

SERVICE SPECIFICATIONS:
Bearing Test Prior to Disassembly (Inspection or Repairs):
Before disassembling the alternator, a simple bearing test should be performed regardless of
the reason for alternator removal from the engine. The purpose of the test is to determine if
either of the bearings are a potential for noise or failure.

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


Part Number OE-A2 - Rev. 04 3-230-01
To perform a test for faulty bearings, hold the alternator in one hand and snap-spin the
pulley/shaft with the other. A defective bearing will be heard or felt. In noisy locations, press
the alternator adjusting ear to your ear lobe and snap-spin the pulley/shaft a few times.

To determine which bearing is defective, separate the alternator into its two major assemblies.
Snap-spin the rotor with only the front bearings supporting the shaft, as a method for
determining the condition of the front bearing. The rotor shaft must be held in a vertical plane
in order to avoid misleading results caused by unbalanced bearing loading.

Inspect rear bearing surface of rotor shaft for nicks, chatter marks, and other surface
irregularities. Inspect rear bearing for damage to rollers, or bearing case. Also look for
missing rollers. If grease is hard and dry when smeared or excessively dirty, the bearing
should be replaced. A good bearing may be lubricated with Chevron SRI #2 or exact
equivalent, however do not repack a dry bearing, replace it. At any overhaul, bearings must
be discarded and replaced with new.

CHART 3
GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING FOR BELT DRIVEN STYLE ALTERNATOR
General troubleshooting consists of five areas of trouble in an alternator. Choose the applicable symptom you are experiencing and
follow the trouble shooting advice as applicable. If corrective action on the alternator is beyond tightening hardware or replacing
the brush holder assembly, the alternator must be sent for overhaul.

1. Symptom: Low or no output


Loose terminal connections: Inspect the terminals, if they will tighten, do so, if not the alternator may need to be disassembled
to replace studs or receptacles. Also observe the wire terminal ends to assure they are crimped properly on the wire and no
corrosion or burns are present.
Worn or broken brushes: Remove and examine brush material, spring, and leads. If spring in broken or the lead is coming out of
brush, or if brush is chipped or worn past 50% replace brush holder assembly.
Loose drive belt: Inspect the condition of the drive belt. If frayed or has age cracks, replace the belt. If the belt is in good condition,
check that the belt seats properly in the pulley. V belt must not bottom out in pulley groove. Apply proper tension per the engine or
aircraft service manual.
2. Symptom: Battery is discharged
Corroded or loose battery cable connectors: If connections to the battery are corroded, disconnect and clean. Clean battery
posts or terminals. If aluminum cable is installed, make sure that corrosion has not spread under the insulation. If severe, replace
cables and connectors. Tighten battery connections.
Defective battery or needs maintenance: Perform normal battery maintenance. Check water level and electrolyte condition,
service per the aircraft service manual. Check for expected battery life, if near or beyond normal life, replace battery.
Accessory load too high for alternator rating: Refer to the AFM or POH (and aircraft service manual) for the maximum allowable
load specification. Equipment installed beyond aircraft load capability, reduce electrical load to meet these limitations.
Voltage regulator malfunction: Check the voltage regulator per the aircraft service manual and adjust if necessary. If adjustment
is not possible, check wiring and replace voltage regulator.
Loose drive belt: Inspect the condition of the drive belt. If frayed or has age cracks, replace the belt. If the belt is in good
condition, check the belt seats properly in the pulley. Apply proper tension per the engine or aircraft service manual.
3. Symptom: Battery is overcharged
Voltage regulator set too high for aircraft operating conditions: Check the voltage regulator setting per the aircraft service
manual. Adjust if necessary. If adjustment is not possible, check the wiring harness before replacing the voltage regulator.
Ground wire loose or broken between regulator and alternator: If wire is broken, make sure there is adequate strain relief and
clear chaffing areas. Repair or replace wire. If loose, tighten connection.
Shorted voltage regulator output - full field condition: Before replacing the voltage regulator, check wiring harness for shorts or
open conditions. If harness is burnt or shows signs of overheating, replace harness. If, wiring is good replace voltage regulator.
4. Symptom: Noisy in operation (mechanical)
Foreign object in cooling duct: Check the duct and inlet to see if debris have entered the alternator and are rubbing or vibrating.
Loose mounting bolts: Inspect mount points for damage and if found overhaul the alternator. If not, re-torque mounting bolts per
the engine or aircraft service manual.
Interference from airframe components or structure: Examine the alternator and large electrical cables for contact or chaffing on
airframe structure. Check and clear any interference areas.
Defective bearing: To perform a test for faulty bearings, hold the alternator in one hand and snap-spin the /shaft with the other. A
defective bearing will be heard or felt. Replace the bearing or overhaul the alternator.
Loose drive belt: Inspect the condition of the drive belt. If frayed or has age cracks, replace the belt. If the belt is in good
condition, check the belt seats properly in the pulley. Apply proper tension per the engine or aircraft service manual.
5. Symptom: Noisy in operation (electrical)
Shorted rectifier (magnetic noise): Place oscilloscope on main electrical bus. If excessive AC is on DC bus, overhaul the alternator.
Insufficient output filtering: Check the RFI filter by performing a capacitance check. Replace RFI filter if defective. In some
cases, additional RFI filters may be installed, be sure that a check is performed on each.
Brush arcing: Remove and examine brush material, spring, and leads. If spring is broken or the lead is coming out of brush, or if
brush is chipped or worn past 50% replace brush holder assembly.
Rough or damaged slip ring surface: If the slip rings show minor surface roughness they may be polished. If the slip rings are
worn or damaged beyond limits, replace the rotor (requires overhaul of alternator).
Loose field or aux terminal connections: Check terminal connections for damage. Provide adequate strain relief to the wiring
and tighten terminals properly.
Loose ground or battery connections: Check ground and battery connections for damage. Provide adequate strain relief to the
cables and tighten properly. (See engine or aircraft service manuals.)
Resistive or arcing circuit breaker: Make a resistance check of the circuit breaker, essentially, there should be no resistance.
Check breaker function. Old circuit breakers should be replaced.
Defective voltage regulator or connector: Check to see if the regulator connector is attached properly. Remove and examine
connector. Look for arcing or overheating. Check wiring harness and replace the voltage regulator if defective.

DISCUSSION FOR THE
GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING OF ALTERNATOR BELTS
Although the alternator belt is provided by the airframe or engine manufacturer and those manufacturers normally issue manuals
or instructions regarding their maintenance, the belt is fundamental to the operation of Hartzell Engine Technologies, LLC (HET)
alternator products. As such, some general troubleshooting regarding the belt is offered here to prevent mis-diagnosis of what may seem
to be an alternator fault.

Hartzell Engine Technologies new, rebuilt, or overhauled alternators using belts are provisioned for two basic types of belts via custom
pulley installations. The most common type is the single smooth V belt (large and small width) and the Ribbed V belt type which has
multi V groves but is nearly flat. The basic function of these belts (either type) is to transform rotational energy produced in the engine to
rotational energy required by various accessories that are needed for the aircraft or rotorcraft. The belt system or “drive” may be
simple running from the bell housing to an alternator and nothing else, or it might be complex picking up alternator, A/C compressor,
hydraulic pump, idler pulley’s to name a few. Belt drives are efficient and very safe. However, the more complex, the more difficult
it is to align the “drive”. The troubleshooting coming up will give you some insight into both sound and visual inspection to identify
a belt condition before moving on to the alternator or other component.

If you do determine an alternator is at fault, you should note that Hartzell Engine Technologies sells alternators both with a pulley or
without a pulley due to the desire of engine and airframe manufacturers to use their own custom pulley and belt arrangements. All
HET alternators with a designation of LS are delivered without a pulley. (i.g. ALU-8521LS) HET receives many overhauls and core
alternators which still have an OEM manufacturers pulley attached. This can be very costly as we cannot return used parts, so please
check before returning your alternator!

General Troubleshooting of the belt breaks down to sound detection and visual inspection.

Abnormal belt condition, low belt tension, belt contamination, and belt vibration are other common sources of belt noise. A screeching or
squealing noise that occurs when starting or increasing engine RPM rapidly normally indicates a lack of tension; check belt tension. A
tapping or grinding noise caused by debris imbedded in the under side of the belt can be the cause (it is an unusual occurrence but is
worth checking). Grinding sound also can result from worn or damaged bearings, these must be replaced, to eliminate the noise and
further damage to the alternator. Mechanical noise from vibration can develop over time as drive components such as pulleys and spring
tensioners (if used) wear beyond tolerance, as bearings wear, or as belts wear and stretch allowing brackets and attachments to loosen.

Specific belt noises give clues to misalignment conditions. These noises can occur in both single V type and Ribbed V type belts. Belts
are less likely to generate misalignment noise when they are in new condition. As belts wear, they develop a smooth, glossy surface which
will increase the possibility of noise. This wear condition will be accelerated if misalignment exists between any of the pulleys in the drive
system.

A drive misalignment will make a “Chirp” noise in both the common V belt and the Ribbed V belt. This is caused by entry of the belt
contact surface into the pulley as the V(s) seat into the pulley groove there sill be a chirp that is not repeated as the belt exits. The angle
between belt surface and pulley is the critical factor responsible for causing the "chirp" from a misalignment. Misalignment angle can result
from many different combinations of pulley positions. An in or out “positioning” error and/or an angular “tilt” error are two typical examples.
Misalignment noise is most likely to occur on the shortest span in a drive system, such as between two adjacent accessory pulleys. Proper
pulley alignment is particularly critical in these locations. The common V belt pulley has a generally large groove while the nearly flat
multi-groove pulley has very small grooves guiding the belt both can have considerable misalignment and create the same noises.

Misalignment noise is generally loudest at idle speed and diminishes with increasing engine rpm, often vanishing higher RPM’s. The
presence of high humidity (or a damp belt) often increases the likelihood for misalignment noise to occur. Whenever the pilot complains
of belt noise, it is important to determine the type of noise and under what circumstances it occurs. Repairing a drive misalignment (chirp)
is not likely to resolve a slip noise (squeal) that may be caused by insufficient tension. Find out if the problem is more noticeable when
starting and while the engine is cool (cool damp belt). Is the noise loudest at idle speed, or when accelerating the engine RPM (rapid
changes in RPM speed can cause a belt to slip). Try to recreate the problem in the maintenance run area. If the noise is heard, use a
spray bottle or other source of misting water, mist the belt lightly. If the noise level recedes or goes away for several seconds, then returns,
a misalignment problem is likely. If the noise immediately increases after the belt is sprayed, slipping is likely. If the water spray test is
inconclusive and the noise remains unchanged, the problem is not likely related to drive alignment.

In most applications, the highest occurrence of belt noise due to misalignment will come from short belt spans entering large diameter
pulleys (bell housing groove). Service technicians are encouraged to look for the source of noise wherever these conditions exist. Also,
look at any replaced drive components, such as alternator or the A/C compressor, which may have have a pulley misalignment or pulley
runout condition. Remember, replacing a belt with new will most often cure noise, however, failure to correct conditions responsible for
belt noise will result in the problem returning.

Once it is determined that misalignment exists or a simple belt tensioning is required, the corrective action will be contained in either the
airframe or the engine manufacturers service instructions or maintenance manual. Never attempt to align or tension a drive system
without using the proper tools and manuals!

Special Conditions:

Sudden Engine Stoppage (belt drive):


1. If the aircraft engine has experienced a “sudden stoppage” as defined by the engine
manufacturer, the alternator may be impacted critically by this event. A belt driven
alternator is protected somewhat by the ability of the belt to slip if a sudden stoppage
occurs. Should a seizure of the rotating components inside the alternator occur, the belt
will slip or come off. However the sudden stop may bend the pulley, damage the bearings,
or shift close tolerance parts inside the alternator allowing contact when rotating.
2. If “sudden stoppage” as defined by the engine manufacturer has occurred or the sudden
stoppage caused the belt to twist or come off, the alternator must be inspected. Refer to
the appropriate engine or airframe manuals to remove the alternator. Refer to this chapter
for bearing check and chapter 5 for other tolerance data. Check the following:

1. Belt - Remove belt - check for flat spots, cuts, or broken fabric.
2. Pulley - check for damage such as bending or scarring. Perform a run out check on
the face of the pulley to check for significant mis-shape of the pulley due to bending.
Check the depth and width of the pulley grove where applicable. Check appropriate
engine or airframe manuals for run out spec’s as many pulleys are OE supplied items.
3. Alternator - snap spin the pulley to check for interference between the rotor and stator
and to check for bearing noise. See bearing check section in chapter 3 for the
applicable alternator.
4. Brushes - remove brush holder and remove brushes to check for chipping and other
damage.
5. Pulley Nut - check for fractures and assure proper torque at the completion of these
procedures.
6. If you find damage in steps 2 thru 5, repair or overhaul the alternator. In addition, all
supporting bracketry or mounts associated with the alternator should be inspected per
the appropriate engine or airframe manuals. Assure all steps are taken to properly
return the aircraft to service.

Sudden Engine Stoppage (gear drive):


1. If the engine has experienced “sudden stoppage” as defined by the engine manufacturer,
the alternator may be impacted critically by this event. Although the alternator drive
system is designed with an OEM supplied elastomer drive coupling which protects the
engine from seizure of the rotating components inside the alternator, the coupling may
place unknown strain on the alternator shaft from the sudden stoppage of the engine drive
train. The shaft may be weakened, cracked, or have unseen damage from this event,
setting up for a future failure under normal operating conditions if not thoroughly
inspected.
2. If “sudden stoppage” as defined by the engine manufacturer has occurred, the gear driven
alternator must be removed and overhauled. Refer to the appropriate engine or airframe
manuals to remove the alternator. Item 3 must be performed on any sudden stoppage.

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


Part Number OE-A2 - Rev. 05 3-550-01
3. If the alternator has been involved in an accident or sudden stoppage, perform magnetic
particle inspection (ASTM E1444) to check the condition of the drive shaft threaded end
and rotor shaft. Fluorescent penetrant inspection (FPI) is required for the remainder of the
components. Use of FPI should be done per ASTM E1417 latest revision (supersedes
MIL-STD-6866). To assure proper FPI inspection, classroom and on the job training is
recommended. Popular manufacturers of FPI include Magnaflux using the MAGNAGLO
kit, Zyglo, using the ZA-70 kit, and Spotcheck using the SK-5 kit. These manufacturers
include complete instruction for use of their product. Magnetic particle or fluorescent
penetrant inspection criteria are not required for units that have experienced normal
operating conditions.

Lightning Strike:
1. Lightning strike is an unpredictable event both in occurrence and in resultant damage. A
lightning bolt entry point may have one or more exit points. On a well bonded aluminum
aircraft, the lightning bolt will stay on the outer surface throughout the aircraft with little
damage to components. The path of the electrical current cannot easily be determined in
most cases because while the current may surge through well bonded areas without
damage, a gap in any metal contact point will result in an arc or flash burn. This is
especially true of rotating parts such as gears or splines.
2. If a report of a potential or actual lightning strike is made, inspect the aircraft for entry
and exit points for the lightning bolt to verify the strike. The purpose is to assure that
there was indeed a strike. The points of entry or exit are generally on the aircraft
extremities such as the wing tip, propeller tips, spinner tip or the tips of tail surfaces.
Commonly, the entry point is a single burn mark and the exit several burn marks or burnt
static wicks. This is important because if there was a strike it may have coursed through
the engine. Cowlings, especially fiberglass or other non-metallic types may not have as
good a bond. Many cowlings will not be well bonded due to frequent removal. This
many times will force the electric charge to take a route through the engine components.
Lightning will arc at any gap.
3. If a strike has occurred, (especially if arc burns appear on the propeller) remove the
alternator and inspect for arc marks. Observe the drive coupling as an arc here may leave
raised metal which will also cause further damage when running (gear driven alternators).
Also observe the mounting areas. Should any damage be noted, overhaul the alternator.
Use the appropriate airframe and engine manufacturers maintenance or service
instructions to accomplish this task.
4 If no indication of arc marks or damage exists, reinstall the alternator and performance
check per the appropriate airframe and engine manufacturers maintenance or service
instructions to accomplish this task.
5. Upon completion, test run the engine per the POH or AFM prior to returning the airplane
or rotorcraft to service. Make an appropriate logbook entry concerning the lightning strike.

Before You Start Work, Observe Warnings and Precautions
(Applies to all alternators included in this Chapter.)

WARNING 1: When disconnecting the aircraft battery or


external power, note that the engine magneto may still be
! live. Tag the propeller “DO NOT MOVE” before any service
or testing is performed. Failure to do so may result in
injury or death should the engine “kick over” or start.

WARNING 2: Make sure that all electrical equipment is in


the OFF or in an inactive position prior to re-connecting
! the aircraft battery or external power. Items such
as starter, landing gear, and flaps to name a few may
suddenly activate when power is applied. Failure to do
so may result in equipment damage, and injury or death
should should components activate.

PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED WHEN TESTING OR SERVICING THE


ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:
1. MAKE FIRE EXTINGUISHER AVAILABLE (for fuel or electrical fires) in a convenient
location whenever working on the electrical system.
2. DISCONNECT THE BATTERY (and/or external power) before connecting or
disconnecting test instruments (except voltmeter), or before removing or replacing
any unit or wiring. Accidental grounding or shorting at the regulator, alternator,
ammeter or accessories, will cause severe damage to the units and/or wiring.
3. The output lead must not be removed from the alternator while the rotor winding is
energized and the alternator is operating.
4. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO POLARIZE THE ALTERNATOR. No polarization is required.
Any attempt to do so may result in damage to the alternator, regulator or aircraft
electrical circuits.
5. Grounding of the alternator output terminal may damage the alternator and/or aircraft
electrical circuit.
6. Reversed battery connections may damage the rectifiers, aircraft wiring or other
components of the charging system. Battery polarity should be checked with a
voltmeter before connecting the battery.
7. If a booster-battery or fast-charger is used, its polarity must be connected correctly to
prevent damage to the electrical system components.
8. When using external power (with or without battery power) be certain that the external
power is of the correct voltage and capacity prior to engaging or applying the power.
Should the incorrect voltage or capacity be used severe damage will occur to electrical
system and it’s components.

Circled items in this chapter
NOTE: represent replacement parts
required at each overhaul.

GENERAL:
HET Belt Driven Aircraft Alternators (Figure
1) are designed and constructed to provide
extended periods of trouble-free operation with
a minimum amount of maintenance. They will
withstand the vibration and extreme temperature
changes encountered in aircraft applications.
This information is provided for use on HET
PMA alternators only. The ALH and ANG Series
alternators are considered obsolete and are no
longer supported by HET.

1. The brush rack assembly consists of a brush rack housing assembly and two brush
assemblies. Each brush is connected to a separate terminal stud and is insulated
from ground. The brush rack assembly can be easily removed for inspection or brush
replacement without removal or disassembly of the alternator.

2. The slip ring end head provides the mounting for the rectifier mounting plate, output and
auxiliary terminal studs, and the brush rack assembly. The slip ring end head accepts a
needle bearing with integral grease seal.

3. The rectifiers used in these units are rated at 150% Peak Inverse Voltage minimum for
transient voltage protection. Three positive rectifiers are mounted in the rectifier mounting
plate, and three negative rectifiers are mounted in the slip ring end head. Each pair of
rectifiers is connected to a stator lead with high temperature solder. The stator leads are
anchored to the rectifier mounting plate with epoxy cement for vibration protection.

4. The stator consists of a laminated iron core on which three phase windings are wound in
slots around the inside circumference. Leads are connected to each of the three points
of the phase windings, and each lead is connected to a pair of rectifiers, one negative and
one positive. The stator also contains a special lead that is connected to the center of
the three phase windings, and is used to activate low voltage warning systems or relays.
The stator has been treated with a special epoxy varnish for high temperature resistance.

5. The rotor consists of a single field coil encased between two four-pole, interleaved iron
sections assembled on a shaft. The ends of the field coil are connected to a pair of
slip rings, which are insulated from each other and the shaft. The rotor winding has
been specially treated with a high temperature epoxy varnish to provide vibration and
temperature resistance characteristics. High temperature solder is used to secure the
winding leads to the slip rings.

6. The drive end head accepts a sealed, pre-lubricated ball bearing in which the drive end
of the rotor shaft rotates.

7. The bearings support the rotor shaft and carry the radial and thrust loads of the assembly.

ALTERNATOR OVERHAUL INSTRUCTIONS:

When repairing the alternator, complete disassembly may not be required. In some cases
it will only be necessary to perform those operations that are required to affect the repair.
However, in this section, compete overhaul is covered step by step to provide detailed
information on each operation. In actual service practice, these operations may be used as
required. If a return to service tag is to be marked “overhauled”, then each step must be
performed as outlined in this overhaul manual.

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


4-40-01 Part Number OE-A2
CAUTION: When servicing the alternator, all replacement
parts must be original equipment parts manufactured by
! Hartzell Engine Technologies (HET) or an approved HET source.
Failure to use genuine HET replacement parts may result
in serious damage to the alternator or other electrical
system components.

During overhaul the following components must be replaced


NOTE: 1 with new:
1. Brushes and terminal stud
2. Drive end bearing
3. Slip ring end bearing
4. Thru-bolts
5. Rectifiers
6. Lockwashers, terminal stud nuts, and fiber washers
7. Red caution placard (thru bolt torquing label).

NOTE: 2 Before disassembling the alternator, the threads on each terminal stud should be
inspected for signs of arcing. Diode damage is frequently the side effect of arcing.
Arc marks are usually caused by a loose wire terminal connection resulting from
failure to tighten the attaching nut. Arc marks can also be caused by improper
service techniques that permit wires to be connected and disconnected while
current is flowing. A loose connection at the alternator output (battery) terminal
can cause the terminal stud to burn through over time.

Diode damage can occur because of the inductive voltage spikes (similar to
ignition coil sparking action) generated by the make and break of a loose terminal
connection. EACH DIODE must be replaced before the alternator is returned to
service.

(See page 4-20-01 prior to starting work.)

ALTERNATOR DISASSEMBLY:

CAUTION: In order to prevent damage to the blast tube


! assembly, it should be removed before any servicing is
attempted.

1. Remove the two screws that hold the brush holder assembly in the slip ring end head.
Remove the brush rack assembly from the end head and discard the brushes. If the
brush holder assembly has not yet been replaced with the new black injection molded
brush holder assembly, replacement is required at overhaul. Discard the old-style brush
holder assembly and replace it with the new-style brush holder assembly.

2. While holding the pulley with a strap wrench, remove the pulley nut. Remove the pulley
using a puller. Do not attempt to remove the pulley by clamping it in a vise. This will
result in severe damage to the pulley. Remove the fan, woodruff key and spacer from
the shaft. Discard the woodruff key.

3. 
Using a marker, scribe across the stator and front and rear housings to determine
alignment during reassembly. Remove the safety wire from the four thru-bolts. Remove
the thru-bolts and discard. Lightly tap the drive end head to separate the drive end head
and rotor, as a unit, from the stator and slip ring end head.

4. Note the correct assembly of the insulators and washers prior to disassembly. Remove
the nuts, lockwashers, flat washers and insulators from the output and auxiliary terminal
studs and discard.

5. Clip the positive and negative rectifier leads as close to the rectifier case as possible. The
slip ring end head can now be separated from the stator assembly. Using appropriate
tools, support the positive rectifier plate and press out the three positive rectifiers and
discard. Using the same tools (Figure 3), support the slip ring end head and press out
the three negative rectifiers and discard.

6. Remove the slip ring end bearing as shown in (Figure


4), making sure to properly support the slip ring end
housing. Discard the slip ring end bearing. If the slip
ring end and rotor have not yet been replaced with
those that utilize the new needle bearing and slip ring
end configuration, then it will be necessary to discard
Figure 3 - Diode Removal. the slip ring end housing and rotor and replace it with
the appropriate kit as outlined in the Service Parts List
Section.

7. To remove the rotor shaft from the drive end


head, use a puller that grips on the bearing
retainer plate as shown in (Figure 5). Do
not attempt to remove it by supporting the
end head and pressing on the shaft, as
this may result in distortion of the end head
or stripping of the retainer plate screws.
Remove the three retainer plate screws,
and press the bearing out of the end head,
(Figure 6). Discard the bearing.

COMPONENT INSPECTION AND TESTING:
Upon completion of the disassembly, all parts should be cleaned and visually inspected
for cracks, wear, distortion and any signs of overheating or mechanical interference. Any
cracked, worn or distorted parts should be discarded and replaced with new HET parts. All
wear limitations and tolerances are outlined in Section 5 of this manual.

Rotor Assembly: Using a

NOT SCRATCH THE SLIP RING Contents: 60% Tin
SURFACE. Coil resistance for 40% Lead
each Series may be found in the
Service Information section of this Plastic Temperature: Kester “44”
manual. If resistance is higher
than specified, inspect soldered Liquid Temperature: 190o C Approximate
connections at slip ring terminals.
Repair is necessary using a Vendor Source: MSC Industrial Supply
high temperature solder per the Birmingham, Alabama
specification shown in (Figure Or Equivalent

Replace rotor if coil fails resistance Figure 7 - High Temperature Solder
test. Specification.

Using a VOM on RX1000 range, measure resistance between slip ring terminal and
pole piece. No meter movement should occur (infinite resistance). Inspect slip ring and
solder connections to make sure they are not touching shaft. Repair and repeat test as
required. Replace rotor if any meter movement is detected.

CAUTION: Exercise extreme care, so as not to nick or


! scratch the machined copper surface of the slip ring. A
nick or scratch can result in increased brush wear.

To test for shorted turns in the rotor winding, connect a


voltmeter, ammeter, rheostat and battery as shown in
(Figure 8), or use an ohmmeter. The acceptable ranges Ammeter
for rotor current draw and resistance are listed on the
Rheostat
individual service specification pages in the Service Voltmeter
Information section of this manual. Excessive current
draw or a low ohmmeter reading indicates shorted
windings. No current draw or an infinite ohmmeter
reading indicates an open winding. If either case exists, Rotor Battery
discard the rotor and replace with new. No rewound
rotors are approved without factory and FAA approval. Figure 8 - Rotor
 Winding Test.

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


Part Number OE-A2 - Rev. 05 4-70-01
An alternate method for testing the rotor for grounded or shorted windings is to utilize an
appropriate surge/hipot tester, such as the Baker instrument, model ST106A.

The rotor body is to be checked for balance. Unbalance is the single largest source of
vibration. Too much vibration can cause premature failure to the bearings, excessive
wear to the end housings and uneven wear and/or arcing of the brushes. All rotors to be
balanced to .10 ounce inch maximum. Utilize an appropriate balance machine, such as
the American Hofmann Balancing Machine, Model HM-11.1. Refer to the manufacturer
for suitable instructions and settings.

Inspect rotor for any of the following faults and replace if any are detected (with exception
of the slip ring repair noted in step “g”):
a. Stripped shaft threads.
b. Worn key slots/holes (woodruff and cotter).
c. Worn and/or corroded bearing journal surfaces of the drive end and slip ring end.
d. Loose slip ring assembly or pole pieces on shaft.
e. Gouged, bent, cracked or excessive corrosion of pole pieces.
f. Bent, gouged, or excessive corrosion of shaft.
g. Slip rings which are rough or out of round may be trued in a lathe (do not chuck shaft
on bearing journals). Concentricity of slip rings, with respect to bearing journal, must
not exceed 0.002 inch total indicator reading. Remove only enough material to make
slip rings smooth and round. Final surface finish shall be 50 microinches maximum.
The finished slip ring diameter must not be less than 1.350 inches, otherwise rotor
must be replaced. Insure there are no burrs or metal particles on or between slip
rings. Clean dirty slip ring using a non-corrosive chemical degreaser and wipe
residue away with a clean, lint free cloth.
h. Burned/discolored coil (insulation will flake off burned coil). Damaged varnish coating
is not repairable.

Rotor is not serviceable in parts and must be replaced as a whole.

Stator: The stator can be tested for grounded, open or shorted windings using an
2. 
ohmmeter, in the following manner.

To test for grounded windings (use VOM on RX1000 range), touch one ohmmeter probe
to any stator lead, and the other ohmmeter probe to the stator frame. If the ohmmeter
indicates continuity, then the stator is grounded and must be discarded. An alternate
method for testing the stator for grounded windings is to utilize an appropriate surge/
hipot tester, such as the Baker instrument, model ST106A. Refer to the manufacturer
for suitable instructions and settings.

To test for open windings, connect one test probe to the stator winding center connection
and touch the other test probe to each of the three stator leads. The ohmmeter should
indicate continuity. If not, then the stator is defective and must be discarded. While this
test will indicate an open-winding condition, it will not detect an imbalance in the winding
resistance between the three winding phases. To test for winding imbalance, use an
appropriate surge/hipot tester such as the Baker instrument model ST106A. Refer to the
manufacturer for suitable instructions and settings.

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


4-80-01 Part Number OE-A2
Due to the low resistance in the stator windings, shorted windings are almost impossible to
locate without an appropriate surge tester. However, shorted stator windings will usually
cause the alternator to “growl” or be noisy during operation and will show some signs of
overheating. If either of these conditions exists, then the stator must be discarded.

If all other electrical checks are normal and the alternator fails to supply its rated output,
the stator should be replaced to determine whether or not it is the faulty component. No
rewound stators are approved without factory and FAA approval.

Pulley, Rotor Shaft, Spacer, Vent Fans, Drive End Head, Slip Ring End
3. 
Head, and Bushings: Must be inspected to the tolerance and limitations outlined in
Section 5. Any component not meeting the tolerance requirements of Section 5 must be
replaced with a new or serviceable component.

4. Front and Rear Housing: Clean both housings using a noncorrosive chemical
degreaser to remove grease and dirt. Air dry with filtered low pressure compressed
dry air or wipe dry with clean cloth. Inspect both housings for stripped threads, cracks
on exterior and interior surfaces, and wear and corrosion in the bearing mounting area.
Replace housing at reassembly if any of the above faults are noted.

Mounting Hardware: Inspect any removed metallic hardware, i.e., screws, flat
5. 
washers, nuts, bearing retainer plates, bearing ring retainer, shaft spacer, bearing
cover, shaft key, etc., for any damage, wear, corrosion or distortion. Replace any faulty
parts at reassembly. Hardware that will be reused shall be cleaned as required using
noncorrosive chemical degreaser. Air-dry parts using filtered low pressure compressed
dry air or wipe dry with clean, lint free cloth.

6. Insulators (Washers and Spacers): Inspect parts for cracks, deformation, and burn
marks. Parts that are suitable for reuse shall be cleaned as required using isopropyl
alcohol. Any other cleaner may damage insulators. Air-dry parts with filtered low
pressure compressed dry air or wipe dry with clean, lint free cloth.

Brush Holder, Brushes and Springs: Inspect brush holder for cracks and breaks.
7. 
If damaged, discard the brush assemblies and replace with new. Inspect two stainless
steel brush springs for any deformation, change in length or spring force. Replace
springs if they are damaged.

1. The brush rack assembly consists of a brush rack housing assembly and two brush
assemblies. Each brush is connected to a separate terminal stud and is insulated from
ground. The brush rack assembly can be easily removed for inspection or brush
replacement without removal or disassembly of the alternator.

2. The slip ring end head provides the mounting for the rectifier mounting plate, output and
auxiliary terminal studs, and the brush rack assembly. The slip ring end head accepts a
needle bearing with integral grease seal.

3. The rectifiers used in these units are rated at 150% Peak Inverse Voltage minimum for
transient voltage protection. Three positive rectifiers are mounted in the positive rectifier
mounting plate, and three negative rectifiers are mounted in the negative rectifier plate.
Each pair of rectifiers is connected to a stator lead with high temperature solder. The
stator leads are anchored to the rectifier mounting plate with epoxy cement for vibration
protection.

4. The stator consists of a laminated iron core on which three phase windings are wound in
slots around the inside circumference. Leads are connected to each of the three points of
the phase windings, and each lead is connected to a pair of rectifiers, one negative and one
positive. The stator also contains a special lead that is connected to the center of the three
phase windings, and is used to activate low voltage warning systems or relays. The stator
has been treated with a special epoxy varnish for high temperature resistance.

5. The rotor consists of a single field coil encased between two four-pole, interleaved iron
sections assembled on a shaft. The ends of the field coil are connected to a pair of slip
rings, which are insulated from each other and the shaft. The rotor winding has been
specially treated with a high temperature epoxy varnish to provide vibration and
temperature resistance characteristics. High temperature solder is used to secure the
winding leads to the slip rings.

6. The drive end head accepts a sealed, pre-lubricated ball bearing in which the drive end of
the rotor shaft rotates.

7. The bearings support the rotor shaft and carry the radial and thrust loads of the assembly.

ALTERNATOR OVERHAUL INSTRUCTIONS:


When repairing the alternator, complete disassembly may not be required. In some cases it
will only be necessary to perform those operations that are required to affect the repair.
However, in this section, compete overhaul is covered step by step to provide detailed
information on each operation. In actual service practice, these operations may be used as
required. If a return to service tag is to be marked “overhauled”, then each step must be
performed as outlined in this overhaul manual.

CAUTION: WHEN SERVICING THE ALTERNATOR, ALL REPLACEMENT PARTS

!
MUST BE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT PARTS MANUFACTURED BY HET OR AN
APPROVED HET SOURCE. FAILURE TO USE GENUINE HET REPLACEMENT
PARTS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE ALTERNATOR OR OTHER
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM COMPONENTS.

During overhaul the following components must be replaced with new:


NOTE: 1
1. Brushes and terminal stud
2. Drive end bearing
3. Slip ring end bearing
4. Thru-bolts
5. Shaft seal o-ring
6. Rectifiers
7. Lockwashers, terminal stud nuts, and fiber washers
8. Red caution placard (thru bolt torquing label).

NOTE: 2
Before disassembling the alternator, the threads an each terminal stud should be
inspected for signs of arcing. Diode damage is frequently the side effect of
arcing. Arc marks are usually caused by a loose wire terminal connection
resulting from failure to tighten the attaching nut. Arc marks can also be caused
by improper service techniques that permit wires to be connected and
disconnected while current is flowing. A loose connection at the alternator output
(battery) terminal can cause the terminal stud to burn through over time.

Diode damage can occur because of the inductive voltage spikes (similar to
ignition coil sparking action) generated by the make and break of a loose terminal
connection. EACH DIODE must be replaced before the alternator is returned to
service.

(See page 4-20-01 prior to starting work.)

ALTERNATOR DISASSEMBLY:
1. Remove the cotter pin, nut, drive gear assembly and woodruff key. Note: The drive gear
assembly is not a Hartzell Engine Technologies part. It is serviced by the engine
manufacturer.

2. Using a marker, scribe across the stator, front and rear housings to determine alignment
during reassembly. Remove the two screws that hold the brush holder assembly in the slip
ring end head. Remove the brush rack assembly from the end head and discard the
brushes. If the brush holder assembly has not yet been replaced with the new black
injection molded brush holder assembly, replacement is required at overhaul. Discard the
old-style brush holder assembly and replace it with the new-style brush holder assembly.

3. Remove the safety wire from the four thru-bolts. Remove the thru-bolts and discard.
Lightly tap the drive end head to separate the drive end head and rotor, as a unit, from the
stator and slip ring end head.

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


Part Number OE-A2 - Rev. 05 4-250-01
4. Note the correct assembly of the insulators and washers prior to disassembly. Remove the
nuts, lockwashers, flat washers and insulators from the output and auxiliary terminal studs
and discard.

5. Clip the positive and negative rectifier leads as close to


the rectifier case as possible. The slip ring end head can
now be separated from the stator assembly. Using
appropriate tools, support the positive rectifier plate and
press out the three positive rectifiers and discard. Using
the same special tools (Figure 3), support the slip ring

end head and press out the three negative rectifiers and
discard.

6. Remove the slip ring end bearing as shown in


(Figure 4), making sure to properly support the slip
ring end housing. Discard the slip ring end bearing.
If the slip ring end and rotor have not yet been
replaced with those that utilize the new needle
bearing and slip ring end configuration, then it will
be necessary to discard the slip ring end housing and
rotor and replace it with the appropriate kit as Figure 4 - Slip Ring End
Head Bearing Removal.
outlined in the Service Parts List Section.

To remove the rotor shaft from the drive end head, support the end head and carefully
press out the rotor assembly. Remove the three retainer plate screws, and press the bearing
out of the end head. Discard the bearing. Note: For alternator part number ALX-9525, a
snap ring is used instead of the retainer plate. Remove the snap ring before attempting to
remove the bearing. Once the bearing is removed, the oil seal may be removed from the
inside of the housing.

COMPONENT INSPECTION AND TESTING:


Upon completion of the disassembly, all parts should be cleaned and visually inspected for
cracks, wear, distortion and any signs of overheating or mechanical interference. Any
cracked, worn or distorted parts should be discarded and replaced with new HET parts. All
wear limitations and tolerances are outlined in Section 5 of this manual.

1. Rotor Assembly: Using a VOM measure rotor resistance between slip ring terminals. DO
NOT SCRATCH THE SLIP RING SURFACE. Coil resistance for each Series may be
found in the Service Information Section of this manual. If resistance is higher than
specified, inspect soldered connections at slip ring terminals. Repair is necessary using a

To test for shorted turns in the rotor winding, connect a


voltmeter, ammeter, rheostat and battery as shown in
Ammeter
(Figure 6), or use an ohmmeter. The acceptable ranges
for rotor current draw and resistance are listed in the Rheostat
Voltmeter
Service Information Section of this manual. Excessive
current draw or a low ohmmeter reading indicates
shorted windings. No current draw or an infinite
ohmmeter reading indicates an open winding. If either Rotor Battery

rewound rotors are approved without factory and FAA
approval.

An alternate method for testing the rotor for grounded or shorted windings is to utilize an
appropriate surge/hipot tester, such as the Baker instrument, model ST106A.

The rotor body is to be checked for balance. Unbalance is the single largest source of
vibration. Too much vibration can cause premature failure to the bearings, excessive wear
to the end housings and uneven wear and/or arcing of the brushes. All rotors are to be
balanced to .10 ounce inch maximum. Utilize an appropriate balance machine, such as
the American Hofmann Balancing Machine, Model HM-11.1. Refer to the manufacturer
for suitable instructions and settings.

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


Part Number OE-A2 - Rev. 07 4-270-01
Inspect rotor for any of the following faults and replace if any are detected (with exception
of the slip ring repair noted in step “g”):
a. Stripped shaft threads.
b. Worn key slots/holes (woodruff and cotter).
c. Worn and/or corroded bearing journal surfaces of the drive end and slip ring end.
d. Loose slip ring assembly or pole pieces on shaft.
e. Gouged, bent, cracked or excessive corrosion of pole pieces.
f. Bent, gouged, or excessive corrosion of shaft.
g. Slip rings which are rough or out of round may be trued in a lathe (do not chuck shaft
on bearing journals). Concentricity of slip rings, with respect to bearing journal, must
not exceed 0.002 inch total indicator reading. Remove only enough material to make
slip rings smooth and round. Final surface finish shall be 50 microinches maximum.
The finished slip ring diameter must not be less than 1.350 inches, otherwise rotor
must be replaced. Insure there are no burrs or metal particles on or between slip rings.
Clean dirty slip ring using a noncorrosive chemical degreaser and wipe residue away
with a clean, lint free cloth.
h. Burned/discolored coil (insulation will flake off burned coil). Damaged varnish
coating is not repairable.

Rotor is not serviceable in parts and must be replaced as a whole.

2. Stator: The stator can be tested for grounded, open or shorted windings using an
ohmmeter, in the following manner.

To test for grounded windings (use VOM on RX1000 range), touch one ohmmeter probe
to any stator lead, and the other ohmmeter probe to the stator frame. If the ohmmeter
indicates continuity, then the stator is grounded and must be discarded. An alternate
method for testing the stator for grounded windings is to utilize an appropriate surge/hipot
tester, such as the Baker instrument, model ST106A. Refer to the manufacturer for
suitable instructions and settings.

To test for open windings, connect one test probe to the stator winding center connection
and touch the other test probe to each of the three stator leads. The ohmmeter should
indicate continuity. If not, then the stator is defective and must be discarded. While this
test will indicate an open-winding condition, it will not detect an imbalance in the winding
resistance between the three winding phases. To test for winding imbalance, use an
appropriate surge/hipot tester such as the Baker instrument model ST106A. Refer to the
manufacturer for suitable instructions and settings.

Due to the low resistance in the stator windings, shorted windings are almost impossible
to locate without an appropriate surge tester. However, shorted stator windings will
usually cause the alternator to “growl” or be noisy during operation and will show some
signs of overheating. If either of these conditions exists, then the stator must be discarded.

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


4-280-01 Part Number OE-A2
If all other electrical checks are normal and the alternator fails to supply its rated output,
the stator should be replaced to determine whether or not it is the faulty component. No
rewound stators are approved without factory and FAA approval.

3. Rotor Shaft, Spacer, Drive End Head, and Slip Ring End Head: Must be inspected to the
tolerance and limitations outlined in Section 5. Any component not meeting the tolerance
requirements of Section 5 must be replaced with new or serviceable component.

4. Front and Rear Housing: Clean both housings using a non-corrosive chemical degreaser
to remove grease and dirt. Air dry with filtered low pressure compressed dry air or wipe
dry with clean cloth. Inspect both housings for stripped threads, cracks on exterior and
interior surfaces, and wear and corrosion in the bearing mounting area. Replace housing
at reassembly if any of the above faults are noted.

5. Mounting Hardware: Inspect any removed metallic hardware, i.e., screws, flat washers,
nuts bearing retainer plate, bearing snap ring retainer, shaft spacer, bearing cover, shaft
key, etc., for any damage, wear, corrosion, or distortion. Replace any faulty parts at
reassembly. Hardware that will be reused shall be cleaned as required, using a non-
corrosive chemical degreaser. Air-dry parts using filtered low pressure compressed dry air
or wipe dry with clean, lint free, cloth.

6. Insulators (Washers and Spacers): Inspect parts for cracks, deformation, and burn marks.
Parts that are suitable for reuse shall be cleaned as required using isopropyl alcohol. Any
other cleaner may damage insulators. Air-dry parts with filtered low pressure compressed
dry air or wipe dry with clean, lint free cloth.

7. Brush Holder, Brushes and Springs: Inspect brush holder for cracks and breaks. If
damaged, discard the brush assemblies and replace with new. Inspect two stainless steel
brush springs for any deformation, change in length or spring force. Replace springs if
they are damaged.

CAUTION: IN ORDER TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE BLAST TUBE ASSEMBLY,
IT SHOULD BE REMOVED BEFORE ANY SERVICING IS ATTEMPTED.

1. Using a marker, mark across the stator, front


and rear housings to determine alignment during
reassembly. Straighten the ears on the lock tab
washers and remove the three thru-bolts and
blast tube assembly if applicable.

2. Remove the slip ring end bearing cover.


This can be accomplished by wedging a
small, sharp object, such as a chisel, between
the cover and the slip ring end head as Fig. 2 - Bearing Fig. 3 - SRE/ Rotor
Cover Removal. Shaft Removal.
shown in (Figure 2).

3. Use a puller, as shown in (Figure 3), to press the rotor shaft out of the slip ring end
bearing. Separate the drive end head and rotor, as a unit, from the stator and slip ring end
head, being careful not to lose the brush springs while separating the units.

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


Part Number OE-A2 - Rev. 05 4-350-01
4. Remove the nuts, lockwashers, flat washers and insulators from the output, ground, and
auxiliary terminal studs and discard. The slip ring end head can now be separated from
the stator and heat sink assemblies. After removing the snap ring, the slip ring end bearing
can be pushed out from the inside of the end head. Remove the o-rings from the end
housing and discard.

NOTE:
Early series ALV alternators used only one o-ring in the slip ring end head.
It is required that any single-groove slip ring end housing be replaced with
the newer, double-groove end head. Refer to the Service Parts List section
for the correct housing part number.

5. Clip the positive and negative rectifier leads as close to the rectifier case as possible. The
slip ring end head can now be separated from the stator assembly. Support the rectifier
plates and press out the rectifiers and discard. Note: If the rectifiers are soldered into
the rectifier plates, then discard the rectifier plate assemblies, and replace with newer
style press in rectifier plate assemblies.

6. Each brush is connected to a terminal stud that is insulated and mounted through the slip
ring end head. Remove the negative and positive brush and terminal stud assembly from
the slip ring end housing and discard. Service brushes come complete with the terminal
studs attached. Remove the two screws securing the brush holder to the slip ring end head.
This is easily accomplished once the alternator is disassembled.

7. Remove the drive components from the rotor shaft. Note: The
pulley is not manufactured by HET.

8. To remove the rotor shaft from the drive end head, use a puller that
grips on the bearing retainer plate as shown in (Figure 4). Do not
attempt to remove it by supporting the end head and pressing on
the shaft, as this may result in distortion of the end head or
stripping of the retainer plate screws. Remove the three retainer
plate screws, and press the bearing out of the drive end head.

COMPONENT INSPECTION AND TESTING:


Upon completion of the disassembly, all parts should be cleaned and visually inspected for
cracks, wear, distortion and any signs of overheating or mechanical interference. Any
cracked, worn or distorted parts should be discarded and replaced with new HET parts. All
wear limitations and tolerances are outlined in Section 5 of this manual.

1. Rotor Assembly: Using a VOM measure rotor resistance between slip ring terminals. DO
NOT SCRATCH THE SLIP RING SURFACE. Coil resistance for each Series may be
found in the Service Information Section of this manual. If resistance is higher than

discard the rotor and replace with new. No rewound
rotors are approved without factory and FAA approval.

An alternate method for testing the rotor for grounded


or shorted windings is to utilize an appropriate
surge/hipot tester, such as the Baker instrument, model
ST106A.

The rotor body is to be checked for balance. Unbalance is the single largest source of
vibration. Too much vibration can cause premature failure to the bearings, excessive wear
to the end housings and uneven wear and/or arcing of the brushes. All rotors to be
balanced to .10 ounce inch maximum. Utilize an appropriate balance machine, such as
the American Hofmann Balancing Machine, Model HM-11.1. Refer to the manufacturer
for suitable instructions and settings.

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


Part Number OE-A2 - Rev. 07 4-370-01
Inspect rotor for any of the following faults and replace rotor if any are detected (with the
exception of the slip ring repair noted in step “g”):
a. Stripped shaft threads.
b. Worn key slots/holes (woodruff and cotter).
c. Worn and/or corroded bearing journal surfaces of the drive end and slip ring end.
d. Loose slip ring assembly or pole pieces on shaft.
e. Gouged, bent, cracked or excessive corrosion of pole pieces.
f. Bent, gouged, or excessive corrosion of shaft.
g. Slip rings which are rough or out of round may be trued in a lathe (do not chuck shaft
on bearing journals). Concentricity of slip rings, with respect to bearing journal, must
not exceed 0.002 inch total indicator reading. Remove only enough material to make
slip rings smooth and round. Final surface finish shall be 50 microinches maximum.
The finished slip ring diameter must not be less than 1.350 inches, otherwise rotor
must be replaced. Insure there are no burrs or metal particles on or between slip rings.
Clean dirty slip ring using a non-corrosive chemical degreaser and wipe residue away
with a clean, lint free cloth.
h. Burned/discolored coil (insulation will flake off burned coil). Damaged varnish
coating is not repairable.

Rotor is not serviceable in parts and must be replaced as a whole.

2. Stator: The stator can be tested for grounded, open or shorted windings using an
ohmmeter, in the following manner.

To test for grounded windings (use VOM on RX1000 range), touch one ohmmeter probe
to any stator lead, and the other ohmmeter probe to the stator frame. If the ohmmeter
indicates continuity, then the stator is grounded and must be discarded. An alternate
method for testing the stator for grounded windings is to utilize an appropriate surge/hipot
tester, such as the Baker instrument, model ST106A. Refer to the manufacturer for
suitable instructions and settings.

To test for open windings, connect one test probe to the stator winding center connection
and touch the other test probe to each of the three stator leads. The ohmmeter should
indicate continuity. If not, then the stator is defective and must be discarded. While this
test will indicate an open-winding condition, it will not detect an imbalance in the winding
resistance between the three winding phases. To test for winding imbalance, use an
appropriate surge/hipot tester such as the Baker instrument model ST106A. Refer to the
manufacturer for suitable instructions and settings.

Due to the low resistance in the stator windings, shorted windings are almost impossible
to locate without an appropriate surge tester. However, shorted stator windings will
usually cause the alternator to “growl” or be noisy during operation and will show some
signs of overheating. If either of these conditions exists, then the stator must be discarded.

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


4-380-01 Part Number OE-A2
If all other electrical checks are normal and the alternator fails to supply its rated output,
the stator should be replaced to determine whether or not it is the faulty component. No
rewound stators are approved without factory and FAA approval.

3. Rotor Shaft, Spacer, Drive End Head, Slip Ring End Head, and Bushings: Must be inspected
to the tolerance and limitations outlined in Section 5. Any component not meeting the
tolerance requirements of Section 5 must be replaced with new or serviceable component.

4. Front and Rear Housing: Clean both housings using a non-corrosive chemical degreaser to
remove grease and dirt. Air dry with filtered low pressure compressed dry air or wipe dry
with clean cloth. Inspect both housings for stripped threads, cracks on exterior and interior
surfaces, and wear and corrosion in the bearing mounting area. Replace housing at
reassembly if any of the above faults are noted.

5. Mounting Hardware: Inspect any removed metallic hardware, i.e., screws, lockwashers,
flat washers, nuts, bearing retainer plate, bearing snap ring retainer, shaft spacer, bearing
cover, shaft key, etc., for any damage, wear, corrosion, or distortion. Replace any faulty
parts at reassembly. Hardware that will be reused shall be cleaned as required, using a non-
corrosive chemical degreaser. Air-dry parts using filtered low pressure compressed dry air
or wipe dry with clean, lint free, cloth.

6. Insulators (Washers and Spacers): Inspect parts for cracks, deformation, and burn marks.
Parts that are suitable for reuse, shall be cleaned as required using isopropyl alcohol. Any
other cleaner may damage insulators. Air-dry parts with filtered low pressure compressed
dry air or wipe dry with clean, lint free cloth.

7. Brush Holder, Brushes and Springs: Inspect brush holder for cracks and breaks. If
damaged, discard the brush assemblies and replace with new. Inspect two stainless steel
brush springs for any deformation, change in length or spring force. Replace springs if
they are damaged.

1. The brush set consists of two brushes, one of which is connected to the positive field
terminal stud, and the other is connected to the negative field terminal stud.

2. The slip ring end head provides the mounting for the rectifier mounting plate, output,
auxiliary and ground terminal studs, the brush rack assembly and the slip ring end bearing.

3. The rectifiers used in these units are rated at 150% Peak Inverse Voltage minimum for
transient voltage protection. Three positive rectifiers are mounted in the positive rectifier
mounting plate, and three negative rectifiers are mounted in the negative rectifier plate.
Each pair of rectifiers is connected to a stator lead with high temperature solder. The
stator leads are anchored to the rectifier mounting plate with epoxy cement for vibration
protection.

4. The stator consists of a laminated iron core on which three phase windings are wound in
slots around the inside circumference. Leads are connected to each of the three points of
the phase windings, and each lead is connected to a pair of rectifiers, one negative and one
positive. The stator also contains a special lead that is connected to the center of the three
phase windings, and is used to activate low voltage warning systems or relays. The stator
has been treated with a special epoxy varnish for high temperature resistance.

5. The rotor consists of a single field coil encased between two four-pole, interleaved iron
sections assembled on a shaft. The ends of the field coil are connected to a pair of slip
rings, which are insulated from each other and the shaft. The rotor winding has been
specially treated with a high temperature epoxy varnish to provide vibration and
temperature resistance characteristics. High temperature solder is used to secure the
winding leads to the slip rings.

6. The drive end head accepts a sealed, pre-lubricated ball bearing in which the drive end of
the rotor shaft rotates.

7. The bearings support the rotor shaft and carry the radial and thrust loads of the assembly.

ALTERNATOR OVERHAUL INSTRUCTIONS:


When repairing the alternator, complete disassembly may not be required. In some cases it
will only be necessary to perform those operations that are required to affect the repair.
However, in this section, compete overhaul is covered step by step to provide detailed
information on each operation. In actual service practice, these operations may be used as
required. If a return to service tag is to be marked “overhauled”, then each step must be
performed as outlined in this overhaul manual.

CAUTION: WHEN SERVICING THE ALTERNATOR, ALL REPLACEMENT PARTS

!
MUST BE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT PARTS MANUFACTURED BY HARTZELL
ENGINE TECHNOLOGIES (HET) OR AN APPROVED HET SOURCE. FAILURE
TO USE GENUINE HET REPLACEMENT PARTS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS
DAMAGE TO THE ALTERNATOR OR OTHER ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
COMPONENTS.
During overhaul the following components must be replaced with new:
NOTE: 1 1. Brushes and terminal studs
2. Drive end bearing
3. Slip ring end bearing
4. Thru-bolts
5. Lock tab washers
6. Rectifiers
7. Lockwashers, terminal stud nuts, and fiber washers
8. O-rings and oil seal

NOTE: 2
Before disassembling the alternator, the threads an each terminal stud should be
inspected for signs of arcing. Diode damage is frequently the side effect of
arcing. Arc marks are usually caused by a loose wire terminal connection
resulting from failure to tighten the attaching nut. Arc marks can also be caused
by improper service techniques that permit wires to be connected and
disconnected while current is flowing. A loose connection at the alternator output
(battery) terminal can cause the terminal stud to burn through over time.

Diode damage can occur because of the inductive voltage spikes (similar to
ignition coil sparking action) generated by the make and break of a loose terminal
connection. EACH DIODE must be replaced before the alternator is returned to
service.

(See page 4-20-01 prior to starting work.)

ALTERNATOR DISASSEMBLY:
1. Using a marker, mark across the stator, front and rear housings to
determine alignment during reassembly. Straighten the lock tabs
on each of the six thru-bolts (use new lock tabs when
reassembling). Using a socket wrench, remove the six thru-bolts
and lock tabs. Discard thru-bolts and replace with new. Then,
remove the slip ring end head bearing cover (Figure 3).

plates and press out the rectifiers and discard. Note: If the rectifiers are soldered on to
the rectifier plates, then discard the rectifier plate assemblies, and replace with newer style
press in rectifier plate assemblies.

COMPONENT INSPECTION AND TESTING:


Upon completion of the disassembly, all parts should be cleaned and visually inspected for
cracks, wear, distortion and any signs of overheating or mechanical interference. Any
cracked, worn or distorted parts should be discarded and replaced with new HET parts. All
wear limitations and tolerances are outlined in Section 5 of this manual.

1. Front and Rear Housing: Clean both housings using a non-corrosive chemical degreaser
to remove grease and dirt. Air dry with filtered low pressure compressed dry air or wipe
dry with clean cloth. Inspect both housings for stripped threads, cracks on exterior and
interior surfaces, and wear and corrosion in the bearing mounting area. Replace housing
at reassembly if any of the above faults are noted.

2. Mounting Hardware: Inspect any removed metallic hardware, i.e., screws, lockwashers,
flat washers, nuts, bearing retainer plate, bearing snap ring retainer, shaft spacer, bearing
cover, shaft key, etc., for any damage, wear, corrosion, or distortion. Replace any faulty
parts at reassembly. Hardware that will be reused shall be cleaned as required, using a
non-corrosive chemical degreaser. Air-dry parts using filtered low pressure compressed
dry air or wipe dry with clean, lint free, cloth.

3. Insulators (Washers and Spacers): Inspect parts for cracks, deformation, and burn marks.
Parts that are suitable for reuse shall be cleaned as required using isopropyl alcohol. Any
other cleaner may damage insulators. Air-dry parts with filtered low pressure compressed

4. Brush Holder, Brushes and Springs: Inspect brush holder for cracks and breaks in plastic.
If damaged, discard the brush holder assembly and replace with new. Inspect two
stainless steel brush springs for any deformation, change in length or spring force. Service
springs have a free length of about 1.2 inches, 0.29 inch maximum diameter and a spring
force of 0.54 pounds at compressed length of 0.87 inches. Replace springs if they are
damaged.

5. Rotor Assembly: Inspect rotor for any of the following faults and replace rotor if any are
detected (with the exception of the slip ring repair noted in step “g”):
a. Stripped shaft threads.
b. Worn key slots/holes (woodruff and cotter).
c. Worn and/or corroded bearing journal surfaces of the drive end and slip ring end.
d. Loose slip ring assembly or pole pieces on shaft.
e. Gouged, bent, cracked or excessive corrosion of pole pieces.
f. Bent, gouged, or excessive corrosion of shaft.
g. Slip rings which are rough or out of round may be trued in a lathe (do not chuck shaft
on bearing journals). Concentricity of slip rings, with respect to bearing journal, must
not exceed 0.002 inch total indicator reading. Remove only enough material to make
slip rings smooth and round. Final surface finish shall be 50 microinches maximum.
The finished slip ring diameter must not be less than 1.350 inches, otherwise rotor
must be replaced. Insure there are no burrs or metal particles on or between slip rings.
Clean dirty slip ring using a non-corrosive chemical degreaser and wipe residue away
with a clean, lint free cloth.
h. Burned/discolored coil (insulation will flake off burned coil). Damaged varnish
coating is not repairable.

Rotor is not serviceable in parts and must be replaced as a whole.

Using a VOM measure rotor resistance between slip ring terminals. DO NOT SCRATCH
TO SLIP RING SURFACE. See (Figure 6). Coil resistance should be 9.9 to 11.8 ohms
at 20-27 degrees C (70-80 degrees F). If resistance is higher, inspect soldered connections
at slip ring terminals. Repair as necessary using a high temperature solder per the
specification shown in (Figure 7)
with rosin and alcohol flux. Replace Size: 1/16 Diameter

THE BEARINGS OR RECTIFIERS, AS THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE
COMPONENTS. USE AN ARBOR PRESS OR EQUIVALENT FOR PROPER
INSTALLATION.

After thoroughly cleaning, inspecting, testing, and replacing any faulty components,
reassemble and test the unit. The following procedures must be observed to obtain a properly
assembled unit.

1. Drive End Head: Position drive end housing on press with front of housing on press table.
Position new oil seal squarely in housing with lip towards outside of end head. Using a
length of 1-7/8 inch diameter bar stock, press oil seal squarely into end head to a distance
of approximately 1/16 inch from outside of casting. DO NOT HAMMER. Position new
bearing squarely into bearing pocket of housing with sealed side of bearing towards inside
of housing. Care must be taken to prevent contamination of bearing. Using a 2-7/16 inch
O.D. pipe with 5/32 inch wall, press bearing into housing up to the housing bearing stop.
Apply pressure to outer race only. Pressure on inner race will damage bearing. DO NOT
HAMMER. Install bearing retainer and screws. Torque 25-30 in.-lbs.

To install drive end housing to rotor assembly, lubricate oil seal lip with Chevron SRI #2
grease. Position rotor assembly in press with flat surface at slip ring end of shaft against
a flat and true surface of press. Position drive end housing and bearing assembly on rotor

PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED WHEN TESTING OR SERVICING THE


ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:
(See page 4-20-01 for additional precautions prior to starting work.)

1. DISCONNECT THE BATTERY (and/or external power) before connecting or


disconnecting test instruments (except voltmeter), or before removing or replacing any
unit or wiring. Accidental grounding or shorting at the regulator, alternator, ammeter or
accessories, will cause severe damage to the units and/or wiring.

2. The output lead must not be removed from the alternator while the rotor winding is
energized and the alternator is operating.

3. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO POLARIZE THE ALTERNATOR. No polarization is required.


Any attempt to do so may result in damage to the alternator, regulator or aircraft electrical
circuits.

4. Grounding of the alternator output terminal may damage the alternator and/or aircraft
electrical circuit.

5. Reversed battery connections may damage the rectifiers, aircraft wiring or other
components of the charging system. Battery polarity should be checked with a voltmeter
before connecting the battery.

6. If a booster-battery or fast-charger is used, its polarity must be connected correctly to


prevent damage to the electrical system components.

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


Part Number OE-A2 - Rev. 05 4-530-01
The alternator in this manual is a 12-pole, three-phase, internal rectified electrical unit
designed to provide an adequate quantity of power for all accessory requirements, even at low
engine speeds, and maintain the battery in fully charged condition.

The rotor shaft is supported at each end by bearings. The front bearing (ball-type) is a slip-
fit on the rotor shaft and is retained in the front housing with a retainer. The rear bearing
(needle-type) is pressed into the rear housing. The slip rings and the core and coil assembly
are press-fitted to the shaft with a rotor half enveloping each end of the coil. The rotor core
and coil assembly turns inside the stator core and coil assembly with a very narrow air gap
between the two assemblies. This narrow clearance permits maximum magnetic induction.

1. The brush rack assembly consists of a brush rack housing assembly, two brush assemblies,
and two springs. The brushes in the alternator ride the surfaces of the slip rings on the
rotor shaft under spring pressure and transmit field current through their circuit to ground.
One brush or field terminal is, therefore, insulated from the housing. In the standard
alternators, the brush and holder assembly is installed in a cavity inside the rear housing.

2. The slip ring end head provides the mounting for the rectifier assembly plate, output, field,
and stator terminal studs. The slip ring end head accepts a needle bearing with integral
grease seal.

3. The rectifiers used in these units are rated at Ground Terminal Negative Diode Plate
400 volts (Figure 3). Three positive and
three negative rectifiers are mounted in the
rectifier assembly plate which is then
mounted in the slip ring end head. Each pair
of rectifiers is connected to a stator lead with
high temperature solder.

The rectifier assembly is located between the


Battery
stator and the inside surface of the rear Terminal Positive

housing. It is attached to the housing by Diode Plate
means of mounting studs that protrude from
the positive and negative diode plates or heat
sinks as they are sometimes called. The
positive plate is insulated from the housing,
To
the negative plate is grounded to the housing Diodes
through the studs.

4. The stator consists of a laminated iron core on which three


phase windings are wound in slots around the inside
circumference. Leads are connected to each of the three
points of the phase windings (Figure 4), and each lead is
connected to a pair of rectifiers, one negative and one
positive. The stator has been treated with a special epoxy
varnish for high temperature resistance. Figure 4 - Stator.

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


4-540-01 Part Number OE-A2
A number of steel stampings are riveted together to form
the stator core. The inner surface of this core contains 36
equally spaced vertical slots which accommodate the stator
coil windings. The Delta winding receives its name from
its schematic symbol which resembles the Greek Letter
Delta (Figure 5). Each coil-winding end is connected to
another to form a closed series circuit.

5. The rotor consists of a single field coil encased between Figure 5 - Delta Winding.
two six-pole, interleaved iron sections assembled on a
shaft. The ends of the field coil are connected to a pair of slip rings, which are insulated
from each other and the shaft. The rotor winding has been specially treated with a high
temperature epoxy varnish to provide vibration and temperature resistance characteristics.
High temperature solder is used to secure the winding leads to the slip rings.

6. The drive end head accepts a sealed, pre-lubricated ball bearing in which the drive end of
the rotor shaft rotates.

7. The bearings support the rotor shaft and carry the radial and thrust loads of the assembly.

ALTERNATOR OVERHAUL INSTRUCTIONS:


When repairing the alternator, complete disassembly will be required. In this section,
compete overhaul is covered step by step to provide detailed information on each operation.
In actual service practice, these operations may be used as required. If a return to service tag
is to be marked “overhauled”, then each step must be performed as outlined in this overhaul
manual.

PRIOR TO DISASSEMBLY:
1. Arc Marks on Terminals (Visual Inspection): Before disassembling the alternator, the
threads on each terminal stud should be inspected for signs of arcing. Diode damage is
frequently the side effect of arcing. Arc marks are usually caused by a loose wire terminal
connection resulting from failure to tighten the attaching nut. Arc marks can also be
caused by improper service techniques that permit wires to be connected and disconnected
while current is flowing. A loose connection at the alternator output (battery) terminal can
cause the terminal stud to burn through over time.

Diode damage can occur because of the inductive voltage spikes (similar to ignition coil
sparking action) generated by the make and break of a loose terminal connection. EACH
DIODE must be tested, before the alternator is returned to service.

Voltage regulator and field relay damage can also be expected due to chattering contacts
each time the loose connection makes or breaks. Chattering contacts cause the contacts to
arc excessively with consequent rapid contact erosion.

2. Bearing Inspection (For Troubleshooting Purposes): Before disassembling the alternator


a simple bearing inspection should be performed regardless of the reason for the alternator
removal from the engine. The purpose of the inspection is to determine whether either of
the bearings is a potential noise or failure item.

To inspect for faulty bearings, hold the alternator in one hand and snap-spin the pulley
with the other hand. A defective bearing can be heard or felt. In noisy conditions, press the
alternator housing to your ear lobe and snap-spin the pulley a few times.

To determine which bearing is defective, separate the alternator housing. Snap-spin the
rotor with only the front bearing supporting the shaft to determine the condition of the
front bearing. The rotor shaft must be held in the vertical plane in order to avoid
misleading results caused by unbalanced bearing loading.

Inspect the rear bearing surface of rotor shaft for nicks, chatter marks, grooves, and other
surface irregularities. Inspect rear bearing for damage to rollers, felt seal, or bearing case.
Also look for missing rollers. If grease is hard and dry when smeared or excessively dirty,
the bearing should be replaced.

NOTE:
Bearings are to be discarded and replaced
with new at overhaul.

3. Field Circuit Open or Ground Test: Set ohmmeter


selector switch to resistance scale 1. Connect one
lead to the “FLD” terminal and the other lead to the
“GRD” terminal (Figure 6). Spin the pulley and
note ohmmeter reading. Meter should read between
4 and 25 ohms and will fluctuate while rotor is
turning. Figure 6 - Field Circuit Open
or Ground Test.

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


4-560-01 Part Number OE-A2
4. Test Conclusions: A reading lower than 4 ohms indicates either a grounded field terminal
or a defective rotor. A reading higher than 25 ohms indicates one of the following: either
worn out or hung brushes, an open brush lead, or a defective rotor.

ALTERNATOR DISASSEMBLY:
1. Remove pulley nut with an impact wrench 5/16 Inch Hex Drive

Remove the nut, fan and pulley assembly, and woodruff key from the shaft. Discard the
woodruff key.

NOTE:
Do not attempt to remove the pulley by clamping it in a vise. This will result
in severe damage to the pulley.

2. Using a marker, scribe across the stator and front and rear housings to determine
alignment during reassembly. Remove the safety wire from the thru-bolts. Separate the
front housing and rotor from rear housing by removing the three thru-bolts and remove
rear housing and stator. Discard the thru-bolts and the old style tab washers.

4. Remove the two screws and two


washers that attach the brush holder
and grounded brush wire terminal to
rear housing (Figure 10). Remove
brush holder from rear housing.
Remove square headed terminal
screw, brush, and insulator from
rear housing and discard. During
repairs, brushes worn down to .25 or
less must be replaced with new.

5. Remove the two screws and two washers


that attach the brush holder and grounded

(Figure 10). Remove brush holder from
rear housing. Remove square headed
terminal screw, brush, and insulator from
rear housing and discard. During repairs,
brushes worn down to .25 or less must be
replaced with new.

6. To remove rectifier assembly from stator


assembly, unsolder three stator lead
wires from rectifier assembly (Figure 12).
Use a small soldering iron or gun rated at
100 watts or less. Melt solder and open
wire loop, then remove wire from terminal
pin. Excessive heat can damage the
circuit board. Remove the stator terminal
screw and insulating washer, and the
mounting screw and insulating washer.

it by supporting
the end head
and pressing on the shaft, as this may result in distortion of the end head or stripping of
the retainer plate screws. Remove the three retainer plate screws, and press the bearing
out of the end head, as shown in (Figures 13 & 14).

Discard the bearing. An application of penetrating oil will permit ease of removal when
rust or corrosion has caused shaft to adhere to the bearing. Remove rotor stop spacer from
the shaft for cleaning and inspection. Do not remove the rotor stop-ring from the rotor
shaft unless it has been damaged and must be replaced.

COMPONENT INSPECTION AND TESTING:


Upon completion of the disassembly, all parts should be cleaned and visually inspected for
cracks, wear, distortion and any signs of overheating or mechanical interference. Any
cracked, worn or distorted parts should be discarded and replaced with new HET parts. All
wear limitations and tolerances are outlined in Section 5 of this manual.

A diode tester, a voltmeter, ammeter and carbon pile are recommended for bench testing the
alternator. The voltmeter, ammeter and carbon pile are often combined in one unit. Testers of
this type are readily available from Automotive
Equipment Suppliers.

An alternate recommended method of bench testing the


alternator and its components requires the use of a Volt-
Ohm-Meter (VOM). Equipment of this type is generally
available from electronic equipment suppliers. Typical
VOM’s which would be adequate are the Simpson 260
(Figure 15), Triplett 630 and other equivalent models.

1. Testing Diodes: (Figure 15) A digital multimeter with


diode testing function may be used for this test. An

analog meter, as shown, may also be used. With the

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


Part Number OE-A2 - Rev. 05 4-590-01
stator and rectifier assembly removed from rear housing (prior to removing stator leads
from the rectifier assembly), connect test clip/prod from diode tester to negative stud as
shown. Gently push, pull, and wiggle the connections while testing diodes to locate
intermittent conditions.

Touch the test prod to each of the three stator wires which connect the positive and
negative diodes together. In general, the meter reading should be the same for all three
diodes. A low reading will usually indicate a faulty soldered connection at one of the diode
terminations. Shorted and open diodes will cause specific meter indications depending
upon the tester type. Refer to the instruction manual. Move the test clip/probe to the
positive stud and repeat test as outlined in preceding steps.

2. Testing Diodes - Alternative Method (VOM): Disassemble the stator leads from the rectifier
assembly. Set the VOM on the Rx1 multiplier range scale.

3. Positive Diode Test: Connect one test probe to the large positive terminal stud and touch
the other test probe to each of the three stator terminals. Note the three ohmmeter
readings, they must be within 1%.

Reverse the test probes and repeat the test. Note the three ohm meter readings, again they
should be identical to each other but not the same as in step “3” above.

Three of the ohm meter readings should show a low resistance reading of approximately
6 to 20 ohms in one of the above steps and an infinite reading (no meter movement) in the
other step. If these readings are not obtained, the rectifier is detective and must be
replaced.

4. Negative Diode Test: Repeat above steps but connect one test probe to the small negative
terminal stud and the other probe to the stator terminals.

Examine the rectifier assembly for cracked or burnt areas and overall general appearance,
free of damage.

NOTE:
It is of little importance as to the sequence that is followed in taking the
resistance readings across each diode, but what is important is that in one
direction, a reading of 6 to 20 ohms is obtained while an infinite reading is
obtained in the other direction (probes reversed).

Some VOM’s due to their electrical circuitry and characteristics may


indicate a slightly different reading in one direction, example 35 ohms. If all
the diodes indicate this same reading in one direction and Infinity in the
other direction, the rectifier assembly should be considered functionally OK
and acceptable for further service.

ohmmeter selector switch on resistance scale 1.
Touch one lead of ohmmeter to each segment of
the slip ring. Refer to the applicable Service
Information data for appropriate meter readings.

An infinite reading on the ohmmeter is usually

the rotor shaft and the other lead to first slip ring
then to the other. The ohmmeter should read

NOTE:
If both the “Rotor Continuity Test” and the “Rotor Ground Test” (above)
prove satisfactory, and the “Field Circuit Open or Ground Test” (Figure 6)
showed trouble, the brushes are potentially at fault.

To test for shorted turns in the rotor winding, connect a


voltmeter, ammeter, rheostat and battery as shown in
Ammeter
(Figure 18), or use an ohmmeter. The acceptable ranges
for rotor current draw and resistance are listed on the Rheostat

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


Part Number OE-A2 - Rev. 07 4-610-01
An alternate method for testing the rotor for grounded or shorted windings is to utilize an
appropriate surge/hipot tester, such as the Baker instrument, model ST106A. Refer to the
manufacturer for suitable instructions and settings.

Inspect rotor for any of the following faults and replace rotor if any are detected (with the
exception of the slip ring repair noted in step “g”):
a. Stripped shaft threads.
b. Worn key slots/holes (woodruff and cotter).
c. Worn and/or corroded bearing journal surfaces of the drive end and slip ring end.
d. Loose slip ring assembly or pole pieces on shaft.
e. Gouged, bent, cracked or excessive corrosion of pole pieces.
f. Bent, gouged, or excessive corrosion of shaft.
g. Slip rings which are rough or out of round may be trued in a lathe (do not chuck shaft
on bearing journals). Concentricity of slip rings, with respect to bearing journal, must
not exceed 0.002 inch total indicator reading. Remove only enough material to make
slip rings smooth and round. Final surface finish shall be 50 microinches maximum.
The finished slip ring diameter is found in the Specifications and Tolerances Section
of this manual. Insure there are no burrs or metal particles on or between slip rings.
Clean dirty slip ring using a non-corrosive chemical degreaser and wipe residue away
with a clean, lint free cloth.
h. Burned/discolored coil (insulation will flake off burned coil). Damaged varnish
coating is not repairable.

Rotor is not serviceable in parts and must be replaced as a whole.

7. Testing the Stator: (Figures 19 & 20) The stator


can be tested for grounded, open or shorted
windings using an ohmmeter, in the following
manner:

8. Test for Grounded Windings: (Figure 19) Set


Ohmmeter selector switch on resistance scale
1000 and zero the meter. Connect one meter lead
to bare metal portion of stator core and other lead
alternately to each of the stator leads. The Figure 19 - Stator Ground Test.
ohmmeter should read infinity (no needle
movement). Be sure lead is making good contact
with stator core surface.

Test Conclusion: If the ohmmeter indicates any


continuity reading, the stator is grounded and
must be discarded and replaced.

An alternate method for testing the stator for

Figure 20 - Stator Continuity Test.


grounded windings is to utilize an appropriate

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


4-620-01 Part Number OE-A2
surge/hipot tester, such as the Baker instrument, model ST106A. Refer to the manufacturer
for suitable instructions and settings.

9. Test for Open Windings: (Figure 20) Set the ohmmeter selector switch on resistance scale
1. Connect ohmmeter leads alternately between all three sets of leads. Meter reading
should be equal between any pair of stator leads. If not, then the stator is defective and
must be discarded.

Test Conclusions: If unequal readings are obtained, the stator winding is open. Check
wiring junction, if breaks are found replace and recheck.

While this test will indicate an open-winding condition, it will not detect an imbalance in
the winding resistance between the three winding phases. To test for winding imbalance,
use an appropriate surge/hipot tester such as the Baker instrument model ST106A. Refer
to the manufacturer for suitable instructions and settings.

Due to the low resistance in the stator windings, shorted windings are almost impossible
to locate without an appropriate surge tester. However, shorted stator windings will
usually cause the alternator to “growl” or be noisy during operation and will show some
signs of overheating. If either of these conditions exists, then the stator must be discarded.

If all other electrical checks are normal and the alternator fails to supply its rated output,
the stator should be replaced to determine whether or not it is the faulty component. No
rewound stators are approved without factory and FAA approval.

a. Pulley, Rotor Shaft, Spacer, Fans, Drive End Head, and Slip Ring End Head: Must be
inspected to the tolerance and limitations outlined in Section 5. Any component not
meeting the tolerance requirements of Section 5 must be replaced with new or
serviceable component.

b. Front and Rear Housing: Clean both housings using a non-corrosive chemical
degreaser to remove grease and dirt. Air dry with filtered low pressure compressed
dry air or wipe dry with clean cloth. Inspect both housings for stripped threads, cracks
on exterior and interior surfaces, and wear and corrosion in the bearing mounting area.
Replace housing at reassembly if any of the above faults are noted.

c. Mounting Hardware: Inspect any removed metallic hardware, i.e., screws, flat
washers, bearing retainer plate, bearing snap ring retainer, shaft spacer, etc., for any

PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED WHEN TESTING OR SERVICING THE


ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:
(See page 4-20-01 for additional precautions prior to starting work.)

1. DISCONNECT THE BATTERY (and/or external power) before connecting or


disconnecting test instruments (except voltmeter), or before removing or replacing any
unit or wiring. Accidental grounding or shorting at the regulator, alternator, ammeter or
accessories, will cause severe damage to the units and/or wiring.

2. The output lead must not be removed from the alternator while the rotor winding is
energized and the alternator is operating.

3. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO POLARIZE THE ALTERNATOR. No polarization is required.


Any attempt to do so may result in damage to the alternator, regulator or aircraft electrical
circuits.

4. Grounding of the alternator output terminal may damage the alternator and/or aircraft
electrical circuit.

5. Reversed battery connections may damage the rectifiers, aircraft wiring or other
components of the charging system. Battery polarity should be checked with a voltmeter
before connecting the battery.

6. If a booster-battery or fast-charger is used, its polarity must be connected correctly to


prevent damage to the electrical system components.

7. Never operate the alternator on the open circuit with the rotor (field) coil energized. Very
high voltage will develop which can burn the rotor coil or possibly damage the diodes.

8. Never use acid core solder for electrical connections. Use rosin core solder.

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


Part Number OE-A2 - Rev. 05 4-710-01
The alternator in this manual is a 12-pole, three-phase, internal rectified electrical unit
designed to provide an adequate quantity of power for all accessory requirements, even at low
engine speeds, and maintain the battery in fully charged condition.

The rotor shaft is supported at each end by bearings. The front bearing (ball-type) is a slip-fit
on the rotor shaft and is retained in the front housing with a retainer. The rear bearing (needle-
type) is pressed into the rear housing. The slip rings and the core and coil assembly are press-
fitted to the shaft with a rotor half enveloping each end of the coil. The rotor core and coil
assembly turn inside the stator core and coil assembly with a very narrow air gap between the
two assemblies. This narrow clearance permits maximum magnetic induction.

1. The brush rack assembly consists of a brush rack housing assembly, two brush assemblies,
and two springs. The brushes in the alternator ride the surfaces of the slip rings on the
rotor shaft under spring pressure and transmit field current through their circuit to ground.
One brush or field terminal is, therefore, insulated from the housing. In the standard
alternators, the brush and holder assembly is installed in a cavity inside the rear housing.

2. The slip ring end head provides the mounting for the rectifier assembly plate, output, field,
and stator terminal studs. The slip ring end head accepts a needle bearing with integral
grease seal.

3. The rectifiers used in these units are rated at


Ground Terminal Negative Diode Plate
400 volts. Three positive and three negative
rectifiers are mounted in the rectifier
assembly plate which is then mounted in the
slip ring end head. Each pair of rectifiers is
connected to a stator lead with high
temperature solder.

The rectifier assembly is located between the Battery

housing. It is attached to the housing by
means of mounting studs that protrude from
the positive and negative diode plates or heat sinks as they are sometimes called. The
positive plate is insulated from the housing, the negative plate is grounded to the housing
through the studs (Figure 3).

4. The stator consists of a laminated iron core on which
three phase windings are wound in slots around the
inside circumference. Leads are connected to each of
the three points of the phase windings (Figure 4), and
each lead is connected to a pair of rectifiers, one
negative and one positive. The stator has been treated
with a special epoxy varnish for high temperature

4-720-01 Part Number OE-A2
A number of steel stampings are riveted together to form
the stator core. The inner surface of this core contains 36
equally spaced vertical slots which accommodate the stator
coil windings. The Delta winding receives its name from
its schematic symbol which resembles the Greek Letter
Delta (Figure 5). Each coil-winding end is connected to
another to form a closed series circuit.

5. The rotor consists of a single field coil encased between Figure 5 - Delta Winding.
two six-pole, interleaved iron sections assembled on a
shaft. The ends of the field coil are connected to a pair of slip rings, which are insulated
from each other and the shaft. The rotor winding has been specially treated with a high
temperature epoxy varnish to provide vibration and temperature resistance characteristics.
High temperature solder is used to secure the winding leads to the slip rings.

6. The drive end head accepts a sealed, pre-lubricated ball bearing in which the drive end of
the rotor shaft rotates.

7. The bearings support the rotor shaft and carry the radial and thrust loads of the assembly.

ALTERNATOR OVERHAUL INSTRUCTIONS:


When repairing the alternator, complete disassembly will be required. In this section,
compete overhaul is covered step by step to provide detailed information on each operation.
In actual service practice, these operations may be used as required. If a return to service tag
is to be marked “overhauled”, then each step must be performed as outlined in this overhaul
manual.

!
CAUTION: WHEN SERVICING THE ALTERNATOR, ALL REPLACEMENT PARTS
MUST BE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT PARTS MANUFACTURED BY HARTZELL
ENGINE TECHNOLOGIES (HET) OR AN APPROVED HET SOURCE. FAILURE
TO USE GENUINE HET REPLACEMENT PARTS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS
DAMAGE TO THE ALTERNATOR OR OTHER ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


Part Number OE-A2 - Rev. 05 4-730-01
PRIOR TO DISASSEMBLY:
1. Arc Marks on Terminals - Visual Inspection: Before disassembling the alternator, the
threads on each terminal stud should be inspected for signs of arcing. Diode damage is
frequently the side effect of arcing. Arc marks are usually caused by a loose wire terminal
connection resulting from failure to tighten the attaching nut. Arc marks can also be
caused by improper service techniques that permit wires to be connected and disconnected
while current is flowing. A loose connection at the alternator output (battery) terminal can
cause the terminal stud to burn through over time.

Diode damage can occur because of the inductive voltage spikes (similar to ignition coil
sparking action) generated by the make and break of a loose terminal connection. EACH
DIODE must be tested, before the alternator is returned to service.

Voltage regulator and field relay damage can also be expected due to chattering contacts
each time the loose connection makes or breaks. Chattering contacts cause the contacts to
arc excessively with consequent rapid contact erosion.

2. Bearing Inspection (For Troubleshooting Purposes): Before disassembling the alternator


a simple bearing inspection should be performed regardless of the reason for the alternator
removal from the engine. The purpose of the inspection is to determine whether either of
the bearings is a potential noise or failure item.

To inspect for faulty bearings, hold the alternator in one hand and snap-spin the pulley
with the other hand. A defective bearing can be heard or felt. In noisy conditions, press the
alternator housing to your ear lobe and snap-spin the pulley a few times.

To determine which bearing is defective, separate the alternator housing. Snap-spin the
rotor with only the front bearing supporting the shaft to determine the condition of the
front bearing. The rotor shaft must be held in the vertical plane in order to avoid
misleading results caused by unbalanced bearing loading.

Inspect the rear bearing surface of rotor shaft for nicks, chatter marks, grooves, and other
surface irregularities. Inspect rear bearing for damage to rollers, felt seal, or bearing case.
Also look for missing rollers. If grease is hard and dry when smeared or excessively dirty,
the bearing should be replaced.

NOTE:
Bearings are to be discarded and
replaced with new at overhaul.

note ohmmeter reading. Meter should read between 4 and 25 ohms and will fluctuate
while rotor is turning.

4. TEST CONCLUSIONS: A reading lower than 4 ohms indicates either a grounded field
terminal or a defective rotor. A reading higher than 25 ohms indicates one of the
following: worn out or hung brushes, an open brush lead, or a defective rotor.

ALTERNATOR DISASSEMBLY:
1. To remove drive gear and coupling assembly, remove cotter key. Set ratchet to rotate
the shaft in a clockwise direction (right-handed thread). Remove nut, drive gear, and
coupling assembly.

2. Using a marker, scribe across the stator and front and rear housings to determine
alignment during reassembly. Remove safety wire. Remove the three thru-bolts that
attach the rear housing to front housing.

Separate stator core from front housing. (Use a screwdriver in one of the three core
slots for stubborn cases.) Lightly tap the drive end head to separate the drive end head
and rotor, as a unit, from the stator and slip ring end head.

Separate rear housing from front housing by sliding stator over rotor with one
continuous motion to reduce possibility of breaking the grounded brush against the
slip-ring. Discard the thru bolts.

Retrieve brush springs from rear housing. Wipe away any bearing grease that brushes
may have acquired during removal.

3. Remove nut and

housing. Remove square headed
terminal screw, brush, and insulator
from rear housing. Separate brushes
from attaching hardware. At overhaul
brushes must be replaced with new.
During repairs, brushes worn down
to .25 or less must be replaced with
new.

5. To remove slip ring end bearing, position rear


housing in arbor press. Use the appropriate tools
shown in (Figure 9), or fabricate tools to the
dimensions indicated.

Support the rear housing at the area directly below


the bearing boss, as shown, to prevent damage or
distortion to the housing. Remove and discard the
slip ring end bearing.

6. Remove rectifier assembly from stator


assembly. Unsolder three stator lead
wires from rectifier assembly (Figure
10). Use a small soldering iron or gun
rated at 100 watts or less. Melt solder
and open wire loop, then remove wire
from terminal pin. Excessive heat can
damage the circuit board. Remove the
stator terminal screw and insulating
washer, and the mounting screw and
insulating washer.

7. Remove drive gear spacer and O-ring from end housing and discard O-ring. The rotor shaft is
slip fit into the front bearing. To remove the rotor, lightly tap on the end of the rotor shaft with
a rubber mallet to release shaft from the front bearing. An application of penetrating oil will
permit ease of removal when rust or corrosion has caused shaft to adhere to the bearing. Do
not attempt to remove it by supporting the end head and pressing on the shaft, as this may
result in distortion of the end head or stripping of the retainer plate screws.

COMPONENT INSPECTION AND TESTING:


Upon completion of the disassembly, all parts should be cleaned and visually inspected for
cracks, wear, distortion and any signs of overheating or mechanical interference. Any
cracked, worn or distorted parts should be discarded and replaced with new HET parts. All
wear limitations and tolerances are outlined in Section 5 of this manual.

A diode tester, a voltmeter, ammeter and carbon pile are recommended for bench testing the
alternator. The voltmeter, ammeter and carbon pile are often combined in one unit. Testers of
this type are readily available from Automotive Equipment Suppliers.

An alternate recommended method of bench testing the alternator and its components requires
the use of a Volt-Ohm-Meter (VOM). Equipment of this type is generally available from
electronic equipment suppliers. Typical VOM’s which would be adequate are the Simpson
260, Triplett 630 and other equivalent models.

1. Testing Diodes: (Figure 14) A digital multimeter with diode
testing function may be used for this test. An analog meter,
as shown, may also be used. With the stator and rectifier
assembly removed from rear housing (prior to removing
stator leads from the rectifier assembly), connect test
clip/probe from diode tester to negative stud as shown.
Gently push, pull, and wiggle the connections while testing
diodes to locate intermittent conditions.

Touch the test prod to each of the three stator wires which
connect the positive and negative diodes together. In Figure 14-Testing Diodes.
general, the meter reading should be the same for all three
diodes. A low reading will usually indicate a faulty soldered connection at one of the diode
terminations. Shorted and open diodes will cause specific meter indications depending
upon the tester type. Refer to the instruction manual.

Move the test clip/prod to the positive stud and repeat test as outlined in preceding steps.

2. Testing Diodes – Alternative Method (VOM): Disassemble the stator leads from the rectifier
assembly. Set the VOM on the Rx1 multiplier range scale.

3. Positive Diode Test: Connect one test probe to the large positive terminal stud and touch
the other test probe to each of the three stator terminals. Note the three ohmmeter
readings, they must be within 1%.

Reverse the test probes and repeat the test. Note the three ohm meter readings, again they
should be identical to each other but not the same as in step “3” above.

Three of the ohm meter readings should show a low resistance reading of approximately
6 to 20 ohms in one of the above steps and an infinite reading (no meter movement) in the
other step. If these readings are not obtained, the rectifier is detective and must be
replaced.

4. Negative Diode Test: Repeat above steps but connect one test probe to the small negative
terminal stud and the other probe to the stator terminals.

Examine the rectifier assembly for cracked or burnt areas and overall general appearance,
free of damage.

NOTE:
It is of little importance as to the sequence that is followed in taking the
resistance readings across each diode, but what is important is that in one
direction, a reading of 6 to 20 ohms is obtained while an infinite reading is
obtained in the other direction (probes reversed).

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


4-780-01 Part Number OE-A2
NOTE:
Some VOM’s due to their electrical circuitry and characteristics may indicate
a slightly different reading in one direction, example 35 ohms. If all the
diodes indicate this same reading in one direction and Infinity in the other
direction, the rectifier assembly should be considered functionally OK and
acceptable for further service.

5. Rotor Continuity Test: (Figure 15) Set the ohmmeter


selector switch on resistance scale 1. Touch one
lead of ohmmeter to each segment of the slip ring.
Refer to the applicable Service Information data for
appropriate meter readings.

An infinite reading on the ohmmeter is usually


indicative of either a damaged solder connection at

than specified ohms indicate a shorted wire or slip
ring. Replace the rotor if it is defective.

6. Rotor Ground Test: (Figure 16) Set the Ammeter


selector switch on 1000 scale. Touch one lead to
the rotor shaft and the other lead to first slip ring
then to the other. The ohmmeter should read
infinity in both checks.

If the meter shows a reading, a short to ground


exists. Check the soldered connections at the

open winding. If either case exists, discard the rotor and replace with a new one. No
rewound rotors are approved without factory and FAA approval.

An alternate method for testing the rotor for grounded or shorted windings is to utilize an
appropriate surge/hipot tester, such as the Baker instrument, model ST106A. Refer to the
manufacturer for suitable instructions and settings.

Inspect rotor for any of the following faults and replace rotor if any are detected (with the
exception of the slip ring repair noted in step G):
a. Stripped shaft threads.
b. Worn key slots/holes (woodruff and cotter).
c. Worn and/or corroded bearing journal surfaces of the drive end and slip ring end.
d. Loose slip ring assembly or pole pieces on shaft.
e. Gouged, bent, cracked or excessive corrosion of pole pieces.
f. Bent, gouged, or excessive corrosion of shaft.
g. Slip rings which are rough or out of round may be trued in a lathe (do not chuck shaft
on bearing journals). Concentricity of slip rings, with respect to bearing journal, must
not exceed 0.002 inch total indicator reading. Remove only enough material to make
slip rings smooth and round. Final surface finish shall be 50 microinches maximum.
The finished slip ring diameter is found in the Specifications and Tolerances Section
of this manual. Insure there are no burrs or metal particles on or between slip rings.
Clean dirty slip ring using a non-corrosive chemical degreaser and wipe residue away
with a clean, lint free cloth.
h. Burned/discolored coil (insulation will flake off burned coil). Damaged varnish
coating is not repairable.

NOTE: Rotor is not serviceable in parts. It must be replaced as a whole.

8. Testing The Stator: The stator can be tested for grounded, open or shorted windings using
an ohmmeter, in the following manner.

9. Testing Stator for Grounded Windings: (Figure 18) Set Ohmmeter selector switch on
resistance scale 1000 and zero the meter. Connect
one meter lead to bare metal portion of stator core
and other lead alternately to each of the stator leads.
The ohmmeter should read infinity (no needle
movement). Be sure lead is making good contact
with stator core surface.

Test Conclusion: If the ohmmeter indicates any

continuity reading, the stator is grounded and must
be discarded and replaced.

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


4-800-01 Part Number OE-A2
An alternate method for testing the stator for
grounded windings is to utilize an appropriate
surge/hipot tester, such as the Baker instrument,
model ST106A. Refer to the manufacturer for
suitable instructions and settings.

10. Test Stator for Open Windings: (Figure 19) Set the
ohmmeter selector switch on resistance scale 1.
Figure 19 - Stator Continuity Test.
Connect ohmmeter leads alternately between all
three sets of leads. Meter reading should be equal
between any pair of stator leads. If not, then the
stator is defective and must be discarded.

Test Conclusions: If unequal readings are obtained, the stator winding is open. Check
wiring junction, if breaks are found replace and recheck.

While this test will indicate an open-winding condition, it will not detect an imbalance in
the winding resistance between the three winding phases. To test for winding imbalance,
use an appropriate surge/hipot tester such as the Baker instrument model ST106A. Refer
to the manufacturer for suitable instructions and settings.

Due to the low resistance in the stator windings, shorted windings are almost impossible
to locate without an appropriate surge tester. However, shorted stator windings will
usually cause the alternator to “growl” or be noisy during operation and will show some
signs of overheating. If either of these conditions exists, then the stator must be discarded.

If all other electrical checks are normal and the alternator fails to supply its rated output,
the stator should be replaced to determine whether or not it is the faulty component. No
rewound stators are approved without factory and FAA approval.

11. Rotor Shaft, Spacer, Vent Fans, Drive End Head, and Slip Ring End Head: Must be inspected
to the tolerance and limitations outlined in Section 5. Any component not meeting the
tolerance requirements of Section 5 must be replaced with a new or serviceable
component.

12. Front and Rear Housing: Clean both housings using a non-corrosive chemical degreaser
to remove grease and dirt. Air dry with filtered low pressure compressed dry air or wipe
dry with clean cloth. Inspect both housings for stripped threads, cracks on exterior and
interior surfaces, and wear and corrosion in the bearing mounting area. Replace housing
at reassembly if any of the above faults are noted.

13. Mounting Hardware: Inspect any removed metallic hardware, i.e., screws, flat washers,
bearing retainer plate, bearing snap ring retainer, shaft spacer, etc., for any damage, wear,
corrosion, or distortion. Replace any faulty parts at reassembly. Hardware that will be

parts using filtered low pressure compressed dry air or wipe dry with clean, lint free, cloth.

14. Insulators (Washers and Spacers): Inspect parts for cracks, deformation, and burn marks.
Parts that are suitable for reuse, shall be cleaned as required using isopropyl alcohol. Any
other cleaner may damage insulators. Air-dry parts with filtered low pressure compressed
dry air or wipe dry with clean, lint free cloth.

15. Brush Holder, Brushes and Springs: Inspect brush holder for cracks and breaks in plastic.
If damaged, discard the brush holder assembly and replace with new. Inspect two
stainless steel brush springs for any deformation, change in length or spring force.
Replace springs if they are damaged.

PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED WHEN TESTING OR SERVICING THE


ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:
(See page 4-20-01 for additional precautions prior to starting work.)

1. DISCONNECT THE BATTERY (and/or external power) before connecting or


disconnecting test instruments (except voltmeter), or before removing or replacing any
unit or wiring. Accidental grounding or shorting at the regulator, alternator, ammeter or
accessories, will cause severe damage to the units and/or wiring.

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


4-860-01 Part Number OE-A2 - Rev. 07
2. The output lead must not be removed from the alternator while the rotor winding is
energized and the alternator is operating.
3. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO POLARIZE THE ALTERNATOR. No polarization is required.
Any attempt to do so may result in damage to the alternator, regulator or aircraft electrical
circuits.
4. Grounding of the alternator output terminal may damage the alternator and/or aircraft
electrical circuit.
5. Reversed battery connections may damage the rectifiers, aircraft wiring or other
components of the charging system. Battery polarity should be checked with a voltmeter
before connecting the battery.
6. If a booster-battery or fast-charger is used, its polarity must be connected correctly to
prevent damage to the electrical system components.
7. Never operate the alternator on the open circuit with the rotor (field) coil energized. Very
high voltage will develop which can burn the rotor coil or possibly damage the diodes.
8. Never use acid core solder for electrical connections. Use rosin core solder.
9. Do not use a 115 volt test lamp to check diodes.

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


Part Number OE-A2 - Rev. 05 4-890-01
The alternator in this manual is a 12-pole, three-phase, internal rectified electrical unit
designed to provide an adequate quantity of power for all accessory requirements, even at low
engine speeds, and maintain the battery in fully charged condition.

The rotor shaft is supported at each end by bearings. The front bearing (ball-type) is a slip-fit
on the rotor shaft and is retained in the front housing with a retainer. The rear bearing (needle-
type) is pressed into the rear housing. The slip rings and the core and coil assembly are press-
fitted to the shaft with a rotor half enveloping each end of the coil. The rotor core and coil
assembly turns inside the stator core and coil assembly with a very narrow air gap between
the two assemblies. This narrow clearance permits maximum magnetic induction.

1. The brush rack assembly consists of a brush rack housing assembly, two brush assemblies,
and two springs. The brushes in the alternator ride the surfaces of the slip rings on the
rotor shaft under spring pressure and transmit field current through their circuit to ground.
One brush or field terminal is, therefore, insulated from the housing. In the standard
alternators, the brush and holder assembly is installed in a cavity inside the rear housing.

2. The slip ring end head provides the mounting for the rectifier assembly plate, output, field,
and stator terminal studs. The slip ring end head accepts a needle bearing with integral
grease seal.

3. The rectifiers used in these units are rated at Ground Terminal Negative Diode Plate
400 volts. Three positive and three negative
rectifiers are mounted in the rectifier
assembly plate which is then mounted in the
slip ring end head. Each pair of rectifiers is
connected to a stator lead with high
temperature solder (Figure 3).

The rectifier assembly is located between the Battery

stator and the inside surface of the rear

housing. It is attached to the housing by
means of mounting studs that protrude from
the positive and negative diode plates or heat
sinks as they are sometimes called. The
positive plate is insulated from the housing,
To
the negative plate is grounded to the housing Diodes
through the studs.

4. The stator consists of a laminated iron core on which three


phase windings are wound in slots around the inside
circumference. Leads are connected to each of the three
points of the phase windings (Figure 4), and each lead is
connected to a pair of rectifiers, one negative and one
positive. The stator has been treated with a special epoxy
varnish for high temperature resistance. Figure 4 - Stator.

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


4-900-01 Part Number OE-A2
A number of steel stampings are riveted together to form
the stator core. The inner surface of this core contains 36
equally spaced vertical slots which accommodate the stator
coil windings. The Delta winding receives its name from
its schematic symbol which resembles the Greek letter
Delta (Figure 5). Each coil-winding end is connected to
another to form a closed series circuit.

5. The rotor consists of a single field coil encased between Figure 5 - Delta Winding.
two six-pole, interleaved iron sections assembled on a
shaft. The ends of the field coil are connected to a pair of slip rings, which are insulated
from each other and the shaft. The rotor winding has been specially treated with a high
temperature epoxy varnish to provide vibration and temperature resistance characteristics.
High temperature solder is used to secure the winding leads to the slip rings.

6. The drive end head accepts a sealed, pre-lubricated ball bearing in which the drive end of
the rotor shaft rotates.

7. The bearings support the rotor shaft and carry the radial and thrust loads of the assembly.

ALTERNATOR OVERHAUL INSTRUCTIONS:


When repairing the alternator, complete disassembly will be required. In this section,
compete overhaul is covered step by step to provide detailed information on each operation.
In actual service practice, these operations may be used as required. If a return to service tag
is to be marked “overhauled”, then each step must be performed as outlined in this overhaul
manual.

!
CAUTION: WHEN SERVICING THE ALTERNATOR, ALL REPLACEMENT PARTS
MUST BE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT PARTS MANUFACTURED BY HET OR AN
APPROVED HET SOURCE. FAILURE TO USE GENUINE HET REPLACEMENT
PARTS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE ALTERNATOR OR OTHER
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM COMPONENTS AND MAY RESULT IN INJURY.

During overhaul the following components must be replaced with new:

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


Part Number OE-A2 - Rev. 05 4-910-01
PRIOR TO DISASSEMBLY:
1. Arc Marks on Terminals - Visual Inspection: Before disassembling the alternator, the
threads on each terminal stud should be inspected for signs of arcing. Diode damage is
frequently the side effect of arcing. Arc marks are usually caused by a loose wire terminal
connection resulting from failure to tighten the attaching nut. Arc marks can also be
caused by improper service techniques that permit wires to be connected and disconnected
while current is flowing. A loose connection at the alternator output (battery) terminal can
cause the terminal stud to burn through over time.

Diode damage can occur because of the inductive voltage spikes (similar to ignition coil
sparking action) generated by the make and break of a loose terminal connection. EACH
DIODE must be tested, before the alternator is returned to service.

Voltage regulator and field relay damage can also be expected due to chattering contacts
each time the loose connection makes or breaks. Chattering contacts cause the contacts to
arc excessively with consequent rapid contact erosion.

2. Bearing Inspection (For Troubleshooting Purposes): Before disassembling the alternator


a simple bearing inspection should be performed regardless of the reason for the alternator
removal from the engine. The purpose of the inspection is to determine whether either of
the bearings is a potential noise or failure item.

To inspect for faulty bearings, hold the alternator in one hand and snap-spin the pulley
with the other hand. A defective bearing can be heard or felt. In noisy conditions, press the
alternator housing to your ear lobe and snap-spin the pulley a few times.

To determine which bearing is defective, separate the alternator housing. Snap-spin the
rotor with only the front bearing supporting the shaft to determine the condition of the
front bearing. The rotor shaft must be held in the vertical plane in order to avoid
misleading results caused by unbalanced bearing loading.

Inspect the rear bearing surface of rotor shaft for nicks, chatter marks, grooves, and other
surface irregularities. Inspect rear bearing for
damage to rollers, felt seal, or bearing case. Also look
for missing rollers. If grease is hard and dry when
smeared or excessively dirty, the bearing should be
replaced. NOTE: Bearings are to be discarded and
replaced with new at overhaul.

3. Field Circuit Open or Ground Test: Set ohmmeter

ohmmeter reading. Meter should read between 4 and
25 ohms and will fluctuate while rotor is turning.

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


4-920-01 Part Number OE-A2
4. Test Conclusions: A reading lower than 4 ohms indicates either a grounded field terminal
or a defective rotor. A reading higher than 25 ohms indicates one of the following: either
worn out or hung brushes, an open brush lead, or a defective rotor.

ALTERNATOR DISASSEMBLY:
1. Remove pulley nut with an impact wrench (Be certain impact wrench is set to rotate in the
counterclockwise direction) OR position alternator on bench next to a vise using the
tooling as shown in (Figure 7). The tooling consists of a standard 15/16 inch box-end
wrench, ratchet, and a 5/16 inch hex drive.

NOTE:
Do not attempt to remove the pulley by clamping it in a vise. This will result
in severe damage to the pulley.

4. Using a marker, scribe across the stator and front and rear housings to determine
alignment during reassembly (Figure 8). Separate the front housing and rotor from rear
housing by removing the four thru-bolts and
lockwashers, and remove rear housing and stator.
Discard the thru-bolts and lockwashers.

5. Lightly tap the drive end head to separate the drive


end head and rotor, as a unit, from the stator and slip
ring end head. Separate rear housing from front
housing by sliding stator over rotor with one
continuous motion to reduce possibility of breaking
the grounded brush against the slip-ring. Retrieve

COMPONENT INSPECTION AND TESTING:


Upon completion of the disassembly, all parts should be cleaned and visually inspected for
cracks, wear, distortion and any signs of overheating or mechanical interference. Any
cracked, worn or distorted parts should be discarded and replaced with new HET parts. All
wear limitations and tolerances are outlined in Section 5 of this manual.

A diode tester, a voltmeter, ammeter and carbon pile are recommended for bench testing the
alternator. The voltmeter, ammeter and carbon pile are often combined in one unit. Testers of
this type are readily available from Automotive Equipment Suppliers.

An alternate recommended method of bench testing the alternator and its components
requires the use of a Volt-Ohm-Meter (VOM). Equipment of this type is generally available
from electronic equipment suppliers. Typical VOM’s which would be adequate are the
Simpson 260, Triplett 630 and other equivalent models.

1. Testing Diodes: (Figure 15) A digital multimeter with


diode testing function may be used for this test. An analog
meter, as shown, may also be used. The stator must be
disconnected from the rectifier assembly to perform this
test (Rectifier shown removed for clarity).

Set the ohmmeter selector switch on a resistance scale 1.


Test the negative diodes by connecting one ohmmeter lead
to “GRD” post terminal on rectifier and connect other lead
to each stator lead connection of rectifier momentarily.
Reverse ohmmeter leads and check in opposite direction.
Meter must show continuity in one direction, and infinity
(no needle movement) in other direction. Figure 15-Testing Diodes.
Test the positive diodes by connecting one ohmmeter lead to the “BAT” terminal on
rectifier and other lead to each stator lead connection at rectifier momentarily. Reverse
ohmmeter leads and check in the opposite direction. Meter must show continuity in one
direction and infinity in other direction. Gently push, pull, and wiggle the connections
while testing diodes to locate intermittent conditions.

Test Conclusion: If continuity is observed in both directions, the diode(s) is/are shorted.
If no continuity is observed in both directions, the diode(s) is/are open. Replace the
rectifier assembly if open or shorted diodes are found.

NOTE:
It is of little importance as to the sequence that is followed in taking the
resistance readings across each diode, but what is important is that in one
direction, a reading of 6 to 20 ohms is obtained while an infinite reading is
obtained in the other direction (probes reversed).

Some VOM’s due to their electrical circuitry and characteristics may


indicate a slightly different reading in one direction, example 35 ohms. If all
the diodes indicate this same reading in one direction and infinity in the
other direction, the rectifier assembly should be considered functionally OK
and acceptable for further service.

selector switch on resistance scale 1. Touch one lead
of ohmmeter to each segment of the slip ring. Refer
to the applicable Service Information data for
appropriate meter readings.

An infinite reading on the ohmmeter is usually


indicative of either a damaged solder connection at
the slip ring or a broken coil wire. Readings lower

3. Rotor Ground Test: (Figure 17) - Set the


Ammeter selector switch on 1000 scale. Touch
one lead to the rotor shaft and the other lead to
first slip ring then to the other. The ohmmeter
should read infinity in both checks.

If the meter shows a reading, a short to ground


exists. Check the soldered connections at the
slip rings to make sure they are secure and not

the rotor if it is defective.

CAUTION: EXERCISE EXTREME CARE, SO AS NOT TO NICK OR

!
SCRATCH THE MACHINED COPPER SURFACE OF THE SLIP RING. A
NICK OR SCRATCH CAN RESULT IN INCREASED BRUSH WEAR.

NOTE:
If both the “Rotor Continuity Test” and the “Rotor Ground Test” (above)
prove satisfactory, and the “Field Circuit Open or Ground Test” (Figure 6 on
page 04-920-01) showed trouble, the brushes are potentially at fault.
To test for shorted turns in the rotor winding, connect a
voltmeter, ammeter, rheostat and battery as shown in
(Figure 18), or use an ohmmeter. The acceptable Ammeter

ranges for rotor current draw and resistance are listed Rheostat
on the individual service specification pages in the Voltmeter
Service Information section of this manual. Excessive
current draw or a low ohmmeter reading indicates
shorted windings. No current draw or an infinite Battery

and FAA approval.

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


Part Number OE-A2 - Rev. 07 4-970-01
An alternate method for testing the rotor for grounded or shorted windings is to utilize an
appropriate surge/hipot tester, such as the Baker instrument, model ST106A. Refer to the
manufacturer for suitable instructions and settings.

Inspect rotor for any of the following faults and replace rotor if any are detected (with the
exception of the slip ring repair noted in step “g”):
a. Stripped shaft threads.
b. Worn key slots/holes (woodruff and cotter).
c. Worn and/or corroded bearing journal surfaces of the drive end and slip ring end.
d. Loose slip ring assembly or pole pieces on shaft.
e. Gouged, bent, cracked or excessive corrosion of pole pieces.
f. Bent, gouged, or excessive corrosion of shaft.
g. Slip rings which are rough or out of round may be trued in a lathe (do not chuck shaft
on bearing journals). Concentricity of slip rings, with respect to bearing journal, must
not exceed 0.002 inch total indicator reading. Remove only enough material to make
slip rings smooth and round. Final surface finish shall be 50 microinches maximum.
The finished slip ring diameter is found in the Specifications and Tolerances Section
of this manual. Insure there are no burrs or metal particles on or between slip rings.
Clean dirty slip ring using a non-corrosive chemical degreaser and wipe residue away
with a clean, lint free cloth.
h. Burned/discolored coil (insulation will flake off burned coil). Damaged varnish
coating is not repairable.

Rotor is not serviceable in parts and must be replaced as a whole.

4. Stator Ground Test / Continuity Test: (Figures 19 and


20) - The stator can be tested for grounded, open or
shorted windings using an ohmmeter, in the
following manner.

5. Test for Grounded Windings: (Figure 19) – Set

and zero the meter. Connect one meter lead to bare
metal portion of stator core and other lead alternately

to each of the stator leads. The ohmmeter should read
infinity (no needle movement). Be sure lead is
making good contact with stator core surface.

Test Conclusion: If the ohmmeter indicates


any continuity reading, the stator is grounded
and must be discarded and replaced.

An alternate method for testing the stator for


grounded windings is to utilize an appropriate
surge/hipot tester, such as the Baker
instrument, model ST106A. Refer to the
manufacturer for suitable instructions and

settings.

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


4-980-01 Part Number OE-A2
6. Test for Open Windings: (Figure 20) - Set the ohmmeter selector switch on resistance scale
1. Connect ohmmeter leads alternately between all three sets of leads. Meter reading
should be equal between any pair of stator leads. If not, then the stator is defective and
must be discarded.

Test Conclusions: If unequal readings are obtained, the stator winding is open. Check
wiring junction, if breaks are found replace and recheck.

While this test will indicate an open-winding condition, it will not detect an imbalance in
the winding resistance between the three winding phases. To test for winding imbalance,
use an appropriate surge/hipot tester such as the Baker instrument model ST106A. Refer
to the manufacturer for suitable instructions and settings.

Due to the low resistance in the stator windings, shorted windings are almost impossible
to locate without an appropriate surge tester. However, shorted stator windings will
usually cause the alternator to “growl” or be noisy during operation and will show some
signs of overheating. If either of these conditions exists, then the stator must be discarded.

If all other electrical checks are normal and the alternator fails to supply its rated output,
the stator should be replaced to determine whether or not it is the faulty component. No
rewound stators are approved without factory and FAA approval.

7. Pulley, Rotor Shaft, Spacer, Fan, Drive End Head, and Slip Ring End Head: Must be
inspected to the tolerance and limitations outlined in Section 5. Any component not
meeting the tolerance requirements of Section 5 must be replaced with new or serviceable
component. Replace any fan or pulley that is loose, bent , or out of shape.

8. Front and Rear Housing: Clean both housings using a non-corrosive chemical degreaser to
remove grease and dirt. Air dry with filtered low pressure compressed dry air or wipe dry
with clean cloth. Inspect both housings for stripped threads, cracks on exterior and interior
surfaces, and wear and corrosion in the bearing mounting area. Replace housing at
reassembly if any of the above faults are noted.

9. Mounting Hardware: Inspect any removed metallic hardware, i.e., screws, flat washers,
bearing retainer plate, bearing snap ring retainer, shaft spacer, etc., for any damage, wear,
corrosion, or distortion. Replace any faulty parts at reassembly. Hardware that will be
reused shall be cleaned as required, using a non-corrosive chemical degreaser. Air-dry
parts using filtered low pressure compressed dry air or wipe dry with clean, lint free, cloth.

10. Insulators (Washers and Spacers): Inspect parts for cracks, deformation, and burn marks.
Parts that are suitable for reuse, shall be cleaned as required using isopropyl alcohol. Any
other cleaner may damage insulators. Air-dry parts with filtered low pressure compressed
dry air or wipe dry with clean, lint free cloth.

11. Brush Holder, Brushes and Springs: Inspect brush holder for cracks and breaks in plastic.
If damaged, discard the brush holder assembly and replace with new. Inspect two
stainless steel brush springs for any deformation. Replace Brush Holder Assembly if they
are damaged (rectangular style brushes). Replace brushes if damaged (round style).

PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED WHEN TESTING OR SERVICING THE


ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:
(See page 4-20-01 for additional precautions prior to starting work.)

1. DISCONNECT THE BATTERY (and/or external power) before connecting or


disconnecting test instruments (except voltmeter), or before removing or replacing any
unit or wiring. Accidental grounding or shorting at the regulator, alternator, ammeter or
accessories, will cause severe damage to the units and/or wiring.

2. The output lead must not be removed from the alternator while the rotor winding is
energized and the alternator is operating.

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


Part Number OE-A2 - Rev. 07 4-1030-01
3. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO POLARIZE THE ALTERNATOR. No polarization is required.
Any attempt to do so may result in damage to the alternator, regulator or aircraft electrical
circuits.

4. Grounding of the alternator output terminal may damage the alternator and/or aircraft
electrical circuit.

5. Reversed battery connections may damage the rectifiers, aircraft wiring or other
components of the charging system. Battery polarity should be checked with a voltmeter
before connecting the battery.

6. If a booster-battery or fast-charger is used, its polarity must be connected correctly to


prevent damage to the electrical system components.

7. Never operate the alternator on the open circuit with the rotor (field) coil energized. Very
high voltage will develop which can burn the rotor coil or possibly damage the diodes.

8. Never use acid core solder for electrical connections. Use rosin core solder.

9. Do not use a 115 volt test lamp to check diodes.

NOTE:
All measurements are in inches. Any serviceable limit or tolerance not met by a
component MUST be discarded and replaced with new or serviceable component.

Part Number OE-A2 - Rev. 05 4-1070-01
The alternator in this manual is a 12-pole, three-phase, internal rectified electrical unit
designed to provide an adequate quantity of power for all accessory requirements, even at low
engine speeds, and maintain the battery in fully charged condition.

The rotor shaft is supported at each end by bearings. The front bearing (ball type) is a press-
fit on the rotor shaft and is retained in the front housing with a retainer. The rear bearing
(needle-type) is pressed into the rear housing. The slip rings and the core and coil assembly
are press-fitted to the shaft with a rotor half enveloping each end of the coil. The rotor core
and coil assembly turns inside the stator core and coil assembly with a very narrow air gap
between the two assemblies. This narrow clearance permits maximum magnetic induction.

1. The brushes (2) are in separate assemblies. The brushes in the alternator ride the surfaces
of the slip rings on the rotor shaft under spring pressure and transmit field current through
their circuit to ground.

2. The slip ring end head provides the mounting for the rectifier assembly, output terminal
bolt and field terminal studs. The slip ring end head accepts a needle bearing with integral
grease seal.

3. The rectifiers used in these


units are rated at 400 volts.
Three positive and three
negative rectifiers are
mounted in the rectifier
assembly which is then
mounted in the slip ring end
head. Each pair of rectifiers is connected to
a stator lead with ring terminal fastened to
a stud with a nut.

Figure 3 - Rectifier Assembly.


The rectifier assembly is located between the stator
and the inside surface of the rear housing. It is
attached to the housing by means of the B+ terminal
and a stud mounted in the housing, and four mounting bolts on the outside of the housing
above the rectifier assembly. The positive plate is insulated from the housing, the negative
plate is grounded to the housing through the four mounting bolts. See (Figure 3).

4. The stator consists of a laminated iron core on


which three phase windings are wound in slots around
the inside circumference. Ring terminals are soldered to
the ends of each of the three phase windings (Figure 4),
and each terminal is connected to a pair of rectifiers,
one negative and one positive on a stud on the rectifier

Figure 4 - Stator Assembly.

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


4-1080-01 Part Number OE-A2
assembly. The stator has been treated with a special epoxy varnish for high temperature
resistance.

A number of steel stampings are riveted together to form the stator core. The inner surface
of this core contains 36 equally spaced vertical slots which accommodate the stator coil
windings.

5. The rotor consists of a single field coil encased between two six-pole, interleaved iron
sections assembled on a shaft. The ends of the field coil are connected to a pair of slip
rings, which are insulated from each other and the shaft. The rotor winding has been
specially treated with a high temperature epoxy varnish to provide vibration and
temperature resistance characteristics. High temperature solder is used to secure the
winding leads to the slip rings.

6. The drive end head accepts a sealed, pre-lubricated ball bearing in which the drive end of
the rotor shaft rotates.

7. The bearings support the rotor shaft and carry the radial and thrust loads of the assembly.

ALTERNATOR OVERHAUL INSTRUCTIONS:


When repairing the alternator, complete disassembly will be required. In this section,
complete overhaul is covered step-by-step to provide detailed information on each operation.
In actual service practice, these operations may be used as required. If a return to service tag
is to be marked “overhauled”, then each step must be performed as outlined in this overhaul
manual.

CAUTION: WHEN SERVICING THE ALTERNATOR, ALL REPLACEMENT PARTS
MUST BE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT PARTS MANUFACTURED BY HET OR AN
APPROVED HET SOURCE. FAILURE TO USE GENUINE HET REPLACEMENT
PARTS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE ALTERNATOR OR OTHER
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM COMPONENT AND MAY RESULT IN INJURY.

During overhaul the following components must be replaced with new:

Part Number OE-A2 - Rev. 05 4-1090-01
PRIOR TO DISASSEMBLY:
1. Arc Marks on Terminals (Visual Inspection): Before disassembling the alternator, the
threads on each terminal stud should be inspected for signs of arcing. Diode damage is
frequently the side effect of arcing. Arc marks are usually caused by a loose wire terminal
connection resulting from failure to tighten the attaching nut. Arc marks can also be
caused by improper service techniques that permit wires to be connected and disconnected
while current is flowing. A loose connection at the alternator output (battery) terminal can
cause the terminal stud to burn through over time.

Diode damage can occur because of the inductive voltage spikes (similar to ignition coil
sparking action) generated by the make and break of a loose terminal connection. EACH
DIODE must be tested before the alternator is returned to service.

Voltage regulator and field relay damage can also be expected due to chattering contacts
each time the loose connection makes or breaks. Chattering contacts cause the contacts
to arc excessively with consequent rapid contact erosion.

2. Bearing Inspection (For Troubleshooting Purposes): Before disassembling the alternator


a simple bearing inspection should be performed regardless of the reason for the alternator
removal for the engine. The purpose of the inspection is to determine whether either of
the bearings are a potential noise or failure item.

To inspect for faulty bearings, hold the alternator in one hand and snap-spin the pulley
with the other hand. A defective bearing can be heard or felt. In noisy conditions, press
the alternator housing to your ear lobe and snap-spin the pulley a few times.

To determine which bearing is defective, separate the alternator housings. Snap-spin the
rotor with only the front bearing supporting the shaft to determine the condition of the
front bearing. The rotor shaft must be held in the vertical plane in order to avoid
misleading results caused by unbalanced bearing loading.

Inspect the rear bearing surface of rotor shaft for nicks, chatter marks, grooves, and other
surface irregularities. Inspect rear bearing for damage to rollers, rubber seal, or bearing
case. Also look for missing rollers. If grease is hard and dry when smeared or excessively
dirty, the bearing should be replaced. NOTE:
Bearings are to be discarded and replaced with new
at overhaul. Do not attempt to add new grease to a
dry bearing.

3. Field Circuit Open or Ground Test: Set ohmmeter


selector switch to resistance scale 1. Connect one
lead to the “FLD” terminal and the other lead to
“FLD” terminal closest to the B+ terminal (Figure
5). Spin the pulley and note ohmmeter reading. Figure 5 - Field Circuit
Open or Ground Test.
Meter should read between 4 and 25 ohms while
rotor is turning.

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


4-1100-01 Part Number OE-A2
4. Test Conclusions: A reading lower than 4 ohms indicates either a grounded field terminal
or a defective rotor. A reading higher than 25 ohms indicates one of the following: either
worn out or hung brushes, an open brush lead, or a defective rotor.

ALTERNATOR DISASSEMBLY:
1. Using a marker, scribe a line across both housings and stator for proper alignment when
re-assembling. Bend lock tabs from the thru-bolts. Separate the front housing and rotor
from the rear housing assembly by removing the thru-bolts. Discard the thru-bolts and
lock tabs.

2. Lightly tap the drive end head to separate the


drive end head and rotor, as a unit, from the
stator and slip ring end head. Separate rear
housing from front housing by sliding stator
over rotor with one continuous motion to
reduce possibility of breaking one of the
brushes against the slip ring.

3. Remove the three nuts from the rectifier.


Slide the rectifier terminals and stator out of

Figure 9 - Pulley Removal.

COMPONENT INSPECTION AND TESTING:


Upon completion of the disassembly, all parts should be cleaned and visually inspected for
cracks, wear, distortion and any signs of overheating or mechanical interference. Any
cracked, worn or distorted parts should be discarded and replaced with new HET parts. All
wear limitations and tolerances are outlined in Section 5 of this manual.

A voltmeter, ammeter and carbon pile are recommended for bench testing the alternator. The
voltmeter, ammeter and carbon pile are often combined in one unit. Testers of this type are
readily available from Automotive Equipment Suppliers.

An alternate recommended method of bench testing the alternator and its components requires
the use of a Volt-Ohm-Meter (VOM). Equipment of this type is generally available from
electronic equipment suppliers. Typical VOM’s which would be adequate are the Simpson
260, Triplett 630 and other equivalent models.

1. Rotor Continuity Test: (Figure 10) Set the


ohmmeter selector switch on resistance
scale 1. Touch one lead of ohmmeter to
each segment of the slip ring. Refer to the
applicable Service Information data for
appropriate meter readings.

An infinite reading on the ohmmeter is


usually indicative of either a damaged
solder connection at the slip ring or a

Figure 10 - Rotor Continuity Test.


broken coil wire. Readings lower than
specified ohms indicate a shorted wire or
slip ring. Replace the rotor if it is defective.

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


4-1120-01 Part Number OE-A2 - Rev. 05
2. Rotor Ground Test: (Figure 11) Set the
ammeter selector switch on 1000 scale.
Touch one lead to the rotor shaft and the
other lead to first slip ring then to the other.
The ohmmeter should read infinity in both
checks.

If the meter shows a reading, a

soldered connections at the slip rings to
make sure they are secure and not Figure 11 - Rotor Ground Test.
grounding against the rotor shaft, or that
excess solder is not grounding the rotor coil.
Replace the rotor if it is defective.

!
CAUTION: EXERCISE EXTREME CARE, SO AS NOT TO NICK OR
SCRATCH THE MACHINED COPPER SURFACE OF THE SLIP RING.
A NICK OR SCRATCH CAN RESULT IN INCREASED BRUSH WEAR.

NOTE:
If both the “Rotor Continuity Test” and the “Rotor Ground Test” (above)
prove satisfactory, and the “Field Circuit Open or Ground Test” (Figure 4)
showed trouble, the brushes are potentially at fault.

To test for shorted turns in the rotor winding, connect a voltmeter, ammeter, rheostat and
battery, or use an ohmmeter. The acceptable ranges for rotor current draw and resistance
are listed on the individual service specification pages in the Service Information section
of this manual. Excessive current draw or a low ohmmeter reading indicates shorted
windings. No current draw or an infinite ohmmeter reading indicates an open winding.
If either case exists, discard the rotor and replace with a new one. No rewound rotors are
approved without factory and FAA approval.

An alternate method for testing the rotor for grounded or shorted windings is to utilize an
appropriate surge/hipot tester, such as the Baker instrument, model ST106A. Refer to the
manufacturer for suitable instructions and settings.

Inspect rotor for any of the following faults and replace rotor if any are detected (with the
exception of the slip ring repair noted in step “e”):
a. Worn and/or corroded bearing journal surfaces of the drive end and slip ring end.
b. Loose slip ring assembly or pole pieces on shaft.
c. Gouged, bent cracked or excessive corrosion of pole pieces.
d. Bent, gouged, or excessive corrosion of shaft.
e. Slip rings which are rough or out of round may be trued in a lathe (do not chuck shaft
on bearing journals). Concentricity of slip rings, with respect to bearing journal, must
not exceed 0.002 inch total indicator reading. Remove only enough material to make
slip rings smooth and round. Final surface finish shall be 50 microinches maximum.

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


Part Number OE-A2 - Rev. 07 4-1130-01
The finished slip ring diameter is found in the Specifications and Tolerances section
of this manual. Insure there are no burrs or metal particles on or between slip rings.
Clean dirty slip ring using a non-corrosive chemical degreaser and wipe residue away
with a clean, lint free cloth.
f. Burned/discolored coil (insulation will flake off burned coil). Damaged varnish is not
repairable.

Rotor is not serviceable in parts and must be replaced as a whole.

3. Stator Ground Test/Continuity Test: The stator can be tested for grounded, open or shorted
windings using an ohmmeter, in the following manner.

4. Test for grounded windings: (Figure 12) Set


ohmmeter selector switch on resistance
scale 1000 and zero the meter. Connect one
meter lead to bare metal portion of stator
core and other lead alternately to each of the
stator leads. The ohmmeter should read
infinity (no needle movement). Be sure
lead is making good contact with stator core
surface.

Test Conclusion: If the ohmmeter indicates Figure 12 - Grounded Windings Test.


any continuity reading, the stator is grounded
and must be discarded and replaced.

An alternate method for testing the stator for grounded windings is to utilize an
appropriate surge/hipot tester, such as the Baker instrument, model ST106A. Refer to the
manufacturer for suitable instructions and settings.

5. Test for open windings: (Figure 13) Set


the ohmmeter selector switch on
resistance scale 1. Connect ohmmeter
leads alternately between all three sets of
leads. Meter reading should be equal
between any pair of stator leads. If not,
then the stator is defective and must be
replaced.

Test Conclusions: If unequal readings

Figure 13 - Open Windings Test.


are obtained, the stator winding is open.
Check wiring junction, if breaks are
found replace and recheck.

While this test will indicate an open-winding condition, it will not detect an imbalance in
the winding resistance between the three winding phases. To test for winding imbalance,
use an appropriate surge/hipot tester such as the Baker instrument model ST106A. Refer

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


4-1140-01 Part Number OE-A2
to the manufacturer for suitable instructions and settings.

Due to the low resistance in the stator windings, shorted windings are almost impossible
to locate without an appropriate surge tester. However, shorted stator windings will
usually cause the alternator to “growl” or be noisy during operation and will show some
signs of overheating. If either of these conditions exists, then the stator must be discarded.

If all other electrical checks are normal and the alternator fails to supply its rated output,
the stator should be replaced to determine whether or not it is the faulty component. No
rewound stators are approved without factory or FAA approval.

a. Pulley, Rotor Shaft, Drive End Head, Slip Ring End Head, and Bushing: Must be inspected
to the tolerance and limitations outlined in Section 5. Any component not meeting the
tolerance requirements of Section 5 must be replaced with new or serviceable
component. Replace any pulley that is bent or out of shape.

b. Front and Rear Housing: Clean both housings using a non-corrosive chemical
degreaser to remove grease and dirt. Air dry with filtered low pressure compressed
dry air or wipe dry with clean cloth. Inspect both housings for stripped threads, cracks
on exterior and interior surfaces, and wear and corrosion in the bearing mounting area.
Replace housing at reassembly if any of the above faults are noted.

c. Mounting Hardware: Inspect any removed metallic hardware, i.e., screws, flatwashers,
bearing retainer plate, etc., for any damage, wear, corrosion, or distortion. Replace
any faulty parts at reassembly. Hardware that will be reused shall be cleaned as
required, using a non-corrosive chemical degreaser. Air-dry parts using filtered low
pressure compressed dry air or wipe dry with clean, lint free cloth.

d. Insulators (Washers and Spacers): Inspect parts for cracks, deformation, and burn
marks. Parts suitable for reuse, shall be cleaned as required using isopropyl alcohol.
Any other cleaner may damage insulators. Air-dry parts with filtered low pressure
compressed dry air or wipe dry with clean, lint free cloth.

e. Brush Assemblies, Brushes and Springs: Inspect assemblies for cracks and breaks in
plastic and bent metal bracket. Replace if damaged, at reassembly. Discard the brush
assemblies and replace with new.

PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED WHEN TESTING OR SERVICING THE


ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:
(See page 4-20-01 for additional precautions prior to starting work.)

1. DISCONNECT THE BATTERY (and/or external power) before connecting or


disconnecting test instruments (except voltmeter), or before removing or replacing any
unit or wiring. Accidental grounding or shorting at the regulator, alternator, ammeter or
accessories, will cause severe damage to the units and/or wiring.

2. The output lead must not be removed from the alternator while the rotor winding is
energized and the alternator is operating.

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


4-1180-01 Part Number OE-A2 - Rev. 04
3. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO POLARIZE THE ALTERNATOR. No polarization is required.
Any attempt to do so may result in damage to the alternator, regulator or aircraft electrical
circuits.

4. Grounding of the alternator output terminal may damage the alternator and/or aircraft
electrical circuit.

5. Reversed battery connections may damage the rectifiers, aircraft wiring or other
components of the charging system. Battery polarity should be checked with a voltmeter
before connecting the battery.

6. If a booster-battery or fast-charger is used, its polarity must be connected correctly to


prevent damage to the electrical system components.

7. Never use acid core solder for electrical connections. Use rosin core solder.

8. Do not use a 115 volt test lamp to check diodes.

NOTE:
All measurements are in inches. Any serviceable limit or tolerance not met by a
component MUST be discarded and replaced with new or serviceable component.

Bench Testing
After the starter is reassembled, it
should be checked to see that the
no-load current at a certain voltage
is within the test specifications
given on page 7-40-01 . To make
this test, connect the assembled
unit as shown in (Figure 8). If
Ground
current is too high, check the
bushing alignment and end-play as
described below to make sure there Ground

is no binding or interference. If no
difficulty is indicated in the test. Figure 8 - No Load Current Test Connection.
If the torque and current are not within specifications, check the seating of the brushes and
internal connections for high resistance. If these checks are made and found to be in good order,
replace the armature assembly and retest the starter.

T o r q u e & D r i v e S h a f t T o l e r a n c e:
The torque and drive shaft tolerance checks may be done anytime the starter is removed or
when symptoms of noise or poor starter performance occur.

Specifications
1. See Figure 9 for the starter drive shaft specifications and torque.

Drive shaft “at rest” torque check

1. Check the drive shaft “at


rest” torque first, as any
discrepancy found will
require repair or overhaul of
the starter.

2. Rotate the starter drive shaft

clockwise (CW) as viewed
from the drive end.

3. Use a suitable tool with a


properly calibrated in-lbs torque wrench to check torque. A tool can be made using an
appropriately sized clevis bolt with a nut tightened securely on the thread end.

4. Slowly rotate the inch-pound torque wrench clockwise (CW) through 360˚ or more. The
torque indication must be 5 inch pounds or less. The starter must be repaired or
overhauled if rotational torque is higher.

Part Number OE-A2 - Rev. 06 7-60-02
Drive Shaft Position Check
1. Check the position of the drive shaft with
respect to the housing for min. and max.
tolerance using a dial indicator. Any style of
dial indicator set up is permissible provided
that the indicator reads to a minimum of 0.001
inch resolution.
2. The set up requires the starter be held
vertically with the drive end up and then
vertically with the drive end down.
(a) Placing the starter vertical with drive end
up allows a check of the length of the drive
shaft from the starter mounting flange.
(b) Placing the starter vertical with the drive
end down allows a check of the drive shaft
end play by measurement and calculation.
3. Check the starter drive shaft minimum length by Figure 10 - Set Dial at Zero
setting the starter on blocks vertically with the
drive shaft up.
(a) Size the blocks of equal measure and
width so the starter is stable.
(b) Place the back side of the mounting flange
on the blocks.
(c) Tap gently on the drive shaft with a plastic
mallet.
4. Place the dial indicator on the flange surface
which will mate to the engine starter drive
adapter, zero the indicator. Refer to Figure 10.
5. Place the dial indicator on the apex of the
drive shaft and record measurement. Refer to
Figure 11.
(a) The measurement recorded must fall
between 0.580 inch and 0.630 inch
inclusive of the starter end play allowance
shown in specifications.

Figure 11 - Record No. at Apex

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


7-60-03 Part Number OE-A2 - Rev. 06
Drive Shaft Maximum Length Check
1. Check the starter drive shaft maximum
length by setting the starter vertically with
the drive shaft down.
(a) Rotate the drive shaft by hand through one
revolution.
(b) Size the blocks of equal measure and
width so the starter is stable.
(c) Place the mounting flange (flange mating
to starter drive) on the blocks.
(d) Tap gently on the drive shaft rear cover
with a plastic mallet.
2. Place the dial indicator on the flange surface
which will mate to the engine starter drive Figure 12 - Set Dial at Zero
adapter, zero the indicator. See Figure 12.
3. Place the dial indicator on the apex of the
drive shaft and record measurement. See
Figure 13.
(a) The measurement recorded must fall
in between 0.580 inch and 0.630 inch
which is inclusive of the starter end
play allowance.

Figure 13 - Record No. at Top


Drive End Play Determination
1. Determine if the starter falls into the allowable end play measurement by making a
calculation. This is done by taking the maximum measurement found in “Drive Shaft
Maximum Length Check” step 3 and subtracting the minimum measurement found in
“Drive Shaft Position Check” step 5.
(a) For example, if the shaft maximum measurement was 0.610 inch and the minimum
measurement was 0.585 inch then subtracting 0.585 inch from the 0.610 inch will
result in 0.025 inch end play. This is acceptable as the allowable end play range
is 0.005 to 0.050 inch.
2. If the starter drive shaft end play is out of allowable range of 0.005 to 0.050 inch or
the drive shaft length is beyond the min 0.580 or max 0.630 inch, repair or overhaul
of the starter is recommended. Do not install starters outside of these limits on any
starter drive or application.

Periodic Inspection - Starter
Information
GENERAL INFORMATION:
This section has information regarding the recommended periodic inspection and maintenance. These
recommendations are instructions for continued airworthiness (ICA) and are needed to assure reliable and
safe operation of the starter while in service. Inspection and maintenance are listed in hours time in
service or calendar time, whichever is applicable. Some inspection and maintenance are one time initial and
others are recurring. The periodic inspection is for direct drive or gear reduction starters and is divided

BI-ANNUAL MAINTENANCE:
into two charts. Chart 1 is for “Bendix” type starters and Chart 2 is for starters without a “Bendix” drive.

(Applies to all starters.)


The starting circuit should be inspected at regular intervals, the frequency of which should be
determined by the type of service and the conditions under which the aircraft or rotorcraft is
operated. It is recommended that such inspection/maintenance be made at least twice a year and
should include the following:
1. Battery - The battery should be checked with a hydrometer (if applicable) to insure that it is
fully charged, and filled to the proper level with approved water. Perform a battery
capacitance check using an aircraft battery capacitance tester to determine battery condition.
Check for dirt and corrosion and clean.
2. Wiring - The starting circuit should be inspected to insure that all connections are clean and
tight and that the insulation is sound. A voltage loss test should be performed to locate any
high resistance connections, which would affect starting motor efficiency. This test is
performed with a low reading voltmeter while cranking the engine or at approximately 100
amperes. The following limits should be observed:
a. Voltage loss from insulated battery post to starting motor terminal 0.5 volt max.
b. Voltage loss from battery ground post to starter frame 0.1 volt max.
c. An ohmmeter check can also be made. The maximum resistance measuring from the
battery ground post to the starter frame is 0.2 ohms. If higher, check for resistance points
at connections in the ground circuit.
If the voltage loss is greater than the above limits, then additional test should be made
over each part of the circuit to locate the high resistance connections.
3. Lubrication & cleaning - At each annual not to exceed 50 hours TIS, clean with mineral
spirits then lubricate the Bendix drive with spray on silicone. Service Drive End Assembly &
Shaft at each annual or event inspection but no later than 500 Hours TIS. Clean with mineral
spirits and lubricate with Chevron SRI-2 or equivalent. Put a light film of Lubriplate® #777
on the drive end of the armature shaft before installing the drive end head. For gear reduction
starters, it may be required to pack the gear box with Chevron SRI-2 or equivalent if the
“Bendix” is removed or replaced. (Refer to Chapter 7 “Service Information”) Perform more
frequently if the aircraft is operated in abusive environments, such as dirt, dust, snow, and
high moisture areas. Recurring lubrication is not required and only exterior cleaning is
recommended for starter motors NOT using a Bendix drive. Consult the engine OEM for
required starter adapter maintenance.

Covers Starter Series: All Except ES646 & MagnaFlite Lightweight Starter ES2001
NOTE:
Circled items in this chapter
represent replacement parts
required at each overhaul.

GENERAL:
The starting circuit is designed to carry high current
with a minimum loss of voltage. The starting circuit
includes the battery, solenoid switch, manual
starting switch, starter motor, wiring and frame.
The starter motor cranks the engine for starting
while the battery supplies the power and the
manual key-switch and solenoid starting switch
control the operation.

torque during the period of time when the starting
switch is closed. The starter motor is designed to
engage its pinion in the flywheel ring gear on the
engine at the beginning of the starting cycle, and then disengage the pinion as soon as the
engine starts. This is accomplished through the use of a starter drive clutch assembly,
commonly referred to as a “Starter” drive. See (Figure 1).

The starter motor consists of six main components: (1) The Frame and Field Assembly, (2)
The Armature, (3) The Commutator End Head, (4) The Intermediate Bearing Assembly
(where applicable), (5) The Pinion Housing, and (6) The Starter Drive Assembly (where
applicable). See (Figure 2).

When the starting circuit is energized, battery current is applied to the starting motor terminal.
Current flows through the starter field coils creating a strong magnetic field. At the same
time, current flows through the brushes to the commutator, through the armature windings to
ground. The magnetic forces created in the armature and in the field windings, combine and
begin to turn the armature.

When the armature turns, the Bendix drive pinion meshes with the flywheel ring gear by
inertia and action of the screw threads within the Bendix sleeve. A detent pin engages in a
notch in the screw threads which prevents disengaging if the engine fails to start when the
starting circuit is de-energized.

When the engine reaches a predetermined speed, centrifugal action forces the detent pin out
of the notch in the screw shaft and allows the pinion gear to de-mesh from the flywheel ring
gear.

1. The Frame and Field Assembly includes the frame - which physically supports the other
components of the motor, the field coils, the brush holders (on certain models) and
brushes, and the pole shoes. The field coils supply the strong magnetic field required for
producing torque while the pole shoes and frame provide the path for the magnetic field.

2. The Armature consists of a laminated soft iron core assembled on the armature shaft, a
commutator and the windings, which are wound in slots in the core and connected to the
commutator. The commutator is made up of a number of copper segments insulated from
each other and from the armature shaft. The armature shaft extends through the pinion
housing and supports the starter drive (on certain models).

3. The Commutator End Head contains a bearing and in certain models the brush holder and
brushes in which the armature shaft rotates.

4. The Intermediate Bearing Assembly supports the armature shaft at a point between the
frame and field assembly, and the pinion housing.

5. The Pinion Housing partially encloses the drive mechanism and contains the other bearing
in which the armature shaft rotates.

6. The Starter Drive operates using a combination of screw action and inertia. The pinion is
mounted on a threaded sleeve, which is driven by the armature.

COMPONENT INSPECTION AND TESTING:
NOTE:
Before removing the starting motor from the engine, disconnect the ground
cable from the battery post to prevent short-circuiting. Disconnect the lead
from the starter motor terminal, then remove the mounting bolts and nuts.
The starter motor can then be removed for overhaul or testing. Exercise
extreme caution when using 110 volt test light or any other high voltage test
equipment.

1. Armature - To test the armature for grounds, use a set


of test probes connected in series with a 110 volt light.
Touch one probe to a commutator segment and the
other to the armature core. If the test lamp lights, then
the armature is grounded and MUST be replaced. To
test for shorted armature coils, use a growler (Figure
6). Place the armature in the growler and slowly rotate Figure 6 - Armature
by hand while a holding steel strip over the core so on Growler.
that it passes over each armature core slot. If a coil is
shorted, the steel strip will vibrate. A quick check for opens can be made by inspecting
the trailing edge (in direction of rotation) of the commutator segments for excessive
discoloration. This condition indicates an open circuit.

An alternate method for testing the armature for grounded or shorted windings is to use
an appropriate surge/hipot tester, such as the Baker Instrument, Model ST106A. Refer
to the manufacturer for suitable instructions and settings.

Check the commutator for uneven wear, excessive


glazing or evidence of excessive arcing. If it is only
slightly dirty, glazed or discolored, then the
commutator can be cleaned with 00 or 000 sandpaper.
If the commutator is rough or worn, then it should be
turned on a lathe (refer to Tolerances and
Figure 7 - Commutator
Specifications). (Figure 7) The armature shaft should

be inspected for rough bearing surfaces and rough or
damaged splines.

2. Brush Holders - To test brush holders use a set of test probes connected in series with a
110 volt light. Touch one test probe to the frame or brush plate and the other to each
brush holder. The test lamp should light when the grounded brush holders are touched
and should not light when the insulated brush holders are touched.

3. Pinion Housing - Inspect housings for cracks. Replace the bushing and ream to proper
dimension found in Section 9. Remove corrosion, paint or grease from mounting
surfaces.

4. Drive Mechanism - The bendix drive must be replaced during overhaul.

BENCH TESTING OF STARTER:


After the starter motor is reassembled, it should be checked to see that the no-load current at
a certain voltage is within specifications. To make this test, connect the assembled unit as
shown in (Figure 21). If current is too high, check the bearing alignment and end-play as
described in the assembly process to make sure there is no binding or interference. If no
difficulty is indicated in the above test, a stall torque test may be made to see if the starter
motor is producing its rated cranking power. Make test connections as shown in (Figure 22).

GENERAL:
required at each overhaul.

The starting circuit is designed to carry high current


with a minimum loss of voltage. The starting circuit
includes the battery, solenoid switch, manual
starting switch, starter motor, wiring and frame.
The starter motor cranks the engine for starting
while the battery supplies the power and the manual
key-switch and solenoid starting switch control the
operation.

Figure 1 - Gear Reduction Starters,


Except Lycoming Style MagnaFlite.
The starter motor must develop a high cranking
torque during the period of time when the starting
switch is closed. The starter motor is designed to engage its pinion in the flywheel ring gear
on the engine at the beginning of the starting cycle, and then disengage the pinion as soon as
the engine starts. This is accomplished through the use of a starter drive clutch assembly,
commonly referred to as a “Starter” drive. See (Figure 1).

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


Part Number OE-A2 - Rev. 05 8-150-01
The gear reduction starter motor consists of six major components: (1) The Commutator End
Head Assembly, (2) The Armature, (3) The Frame and Field Assembly, (4) The Gear Housing,
(5) The Pinion Housing, and (6) The Starter Drive Assembly. See (Figure 2).

When the starting circuit is energized, battery current is applied to the starting motor terminal.
Current flows through the starter field coils creating a strong magnetic field. At the same
time, current flows through the brushes to the commutator, through the armature windings to
ground. The magnetic forces created in the armature and in the field windings, combine and
begin to turn the armature.

The gear cut on the drive end of the armature shaft extends through the gear housing where it
is supported by a roller bearing. The gear mates with the teeth of the reduction gear that drives
the Bendix shaft. The shaft is keyed to the reduction gear. The Bendix drive is held in
position on the shaft by a retaining pin. The shaft is supported in the gear housing by a closed
end roller bearing and in the pinion housing by a graphitized bronze bearing.

When the armature turns the reduction gear, the Bendix drive pinion meshes with the flywheel
ring gear by inertia and action of the screw threads within the Bendix sleeve. A detent pin
engages in a notch in the screw threads which prevents disengaging if the engine fails to start
when the starting circuit is de-energized.

When the engine reaches a predetermined speed, centrifugal action forces the detent pin out
of the notch in the screw shaft and allows the pinion gear to de-mesh from the flywheel ring
gear.

1. The Frame and Field Assembly includes the frame - which physically supports the other
components of the motor, the field coils, the brush holders and brushes, and the pole
shoes. The field coils supply the strong magnetic field required for producing torque
while the pole shoes and frame provide the path for the magnetic field.

2. The Armature consists of a laminated soft iron core assembled on the armature shaft, a
commutator and the windings, which are wound in slots in the core and connected to the
commutator. The commutator is made up of a number of copper segments insulated from
each other and from the armature shaft. The armature shaft extends through the pinion
housing and supports the bendix drive.

3. The Commutator End Head contains a bearing and the brush holder in which the armature
shaft rotates.

4. The Gear Housing Assembly supports the armature shaft at a point between the frame and
field assembly, and the pinion housing. It also contains the bearing which supports the
Bendix drive shaft.

5. The Pinion Housing partially encloses the drive mechanism and contains the other bearing
in which the Bendix drive shaft rotates.

6. The Starter Drive operates using a combination of screw action and inertia. The pinion is
mounted on a threaded sleeve, which is driven by the armature.

distortion and any signs of overheating or mechanical
interference. Any cracked, worn, or distorted parts
must be discarded and replaced with new Hartzell Engine Technologies parts. Refer to
the Specifications and Limitation Table for tolerances on the parts removed and
inspected for wear.

COMPONENT INSPECTION AND TESTING:

NOTE:
Before removing the starting motor from the engine, disconnect the ground cable
from the battery post to prevent short circuiting. Disconnect the lead from the
starter motor terminal, then remove the mounting bolts and nuts. The starter
motor can then be removed for overhaul or testing. Exercise extreme care when
using 110 volt light or any other high voltage test equipment.

1. Armature - To test the armature for grounds, use a set


of test probes connected in series with a 110 volt light.
Touch one probe to a commutator segment and the
other to the armature core. If the test lamp lights, then
the armature is grounded and MUST be replaced. To
test for shorted armature coils, use a growler (Figure
Figure 17 - Armature
17). Place the armature in the growler and slowly

on Growler.
rotate by hand while a holding steel strip over the core
so that it passes over each armature core slot. If a coil
is shorted, the steel strip will vibrate. A quick check for opens can be made by inspecting
the trailing edge (in direction of rotation) of the commutator segments for excessive
discoloration. This condition indicates an open circuit.

An alternate method for testing the armature for grounded or shorted windings is to use
an appropriate surge/hipot tester, such as the Baker Instrument, Model ST106A. Refer to
the manufacturer for suitable instructions and settings.

Check the commutator for uneven wear, excessive


glazing or evidence of excessive arcing. If it is only
slightly dirty, glazed or discolored, then the commutator
can be cleaned with 00 or 000 sandpaper. If the
commutator is rough or worn, then it should be turned on
a lathe (refer to Tolerances and Specifications). (Figure
18). The armature shaft should be inspected for rough Figure 18 - Commutator
bearing surfaces and rough or damaged splines. in Lathe.

8-200-01 Part Number OE-A2 - Rev. 05
2. Commutator End Head and Brush Holder Assembly – To test the brush holders, touch one
test probe to the brush plate and the other to each brush holder. The test lamp should light
when the grounded brush holders are touched and should not light when the insulated
brush holder are touched. Should a failure occur, replace the entire assembly with new or
serviceable.

Check the CE bearing bore per the Starter Tolerance and Limitations section of this
manual. If the bearing bore does not meet the required specifications discard and replace
with a new or serviceable assembly.

3. Gear and Pinion Housing - Remove rust, paint, or grease from mounting surfaces. Inspect
the casting for cracks. Cast all dimensional requirements for the bearing bores and mating
surfaces as outlined in the Starter Tolerance and Limitation section of this manual.

4. Field Case – Remove rust, paint or grease from mounting surfaces. Inspect for overall
housing distortion and cracking around the brush windows. Check for elongated or
stripped threaded holes on both top and bottom mounting surfaces. If any distortion,
cracking, hole elongation or stripping has occurred, discard the field case and replace with
a new or serviceable component.

STARTER ASSEMBLY:
NOTE:
When assembling the starter motor, always use an arbor press and the proper
bearing arbor for installing graphitized bronze and roller bearings.

made and found to be in good
order, replace the field coils or
the frame and field assembly
and retest the starter.

STARTER MOTOR CONTROL CIRCUIT:


Inspect the control circuit between the battery, solenoid and manual starting switches for
breaks, poor connections and faulty insulation. Tighten all connections and make sure the
solenoid is firmly mounted and makes a good ground connection. Check the voltage loss
across the switch contacts during normal starting. If the loss is in excess of 0.2 volts per 100
amperes, then the solenoid should be replaced.

If solenoid fails to operate when the manual switch is turned on or if it fails to release when
the manual switch is released, it should be removed and tested to specifications. If either
opening or closing voltages are not as specified, replace the solenoid.

STARTER MAINTENANCE - DIRECT DRIVE:


The starting circuit should be inspected at regular intervals, the frequency of which should be
determined by the type of service and the conditions under which the aircraft is operated. It
is recommended that such an inspection be made at least twice a year and should include the
following:

1. Battery - The battery should be checked with a hydrometer to insure that it is fully charged,
and filled to the proper level with approved water. A load test should be performed to
determine battery condition. If dirt and corrosion have accumulated on the battery, it
should be cleaned with a solution of baking soda and water. Be sure none of the solution
enters the battery cells.

2. Wiring - The starting circuit should be inspected to insure that all connections are clean
and tight and that the insulation is sound. A voltage loss test should be performed to locate

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


Part Number OE-A2 8-250-01
any high resistance connections, which would affect starting motor efficiency. This test is
performed with a low reading voltmeter while cranking the engine or at approximately 100
amperes. The following limits should be observed:

a. Voltage loss from insulated battery post to starting motor terminal -.3 volt maximum.

b. Voltage loss from battery ground post to starter frame - .1 volt maximum.

If the voltage loss is greater than the above limits, then additional test should be made
over each part of the circuit to locate the high resistance connections.

3. Lubrication - No lubrication is required on the starting motor except at the time of overhaul.
Service Drive Assembly & Shaft each 50 Hours. Wash clean with mineral spirits and
lubricate with spray silicone. (Do Not use oil or graphite)

4. Operation - The starting motor should be operated for a few seconds (not to exceed 10
seconds) with the ignition disconnected to make sure that the pinion engages properly and
that it turns freely without binding or excessive noise.

STARTER MAINTENANCE - GEAR REDUCTION:


The starting circuit should be inspected at regular intervals, the frequency of which should be
determined by the amount of service and the conditions under which the aircraft is operated. It
is recommended that such an inspection be made at least twice a year and should include the
following:

1. Battery - The battery should be checked with a hydrometer to insure that it is fully charged,
and filled to the proper level with approved water. A load test should be performed to
determine battery condition. If dirt and corrosion have accumulated on the battery, it should
be cleaned with a solution of baking soda and water. Be sure none of the solution enters
the battery cells.

2. Wiring - The starting circuit wiring should be inspected to insure that all connections are
clean and tight and that the insulation is sound. A voltage loss test should be performed to
locate any high resistance connections, which would affect starting motor efficiency. This
test is performed with a low reading voltmeter while cranking the engine or at
approximately 100 amperes. The following limits should be observed:

a. Voltage loss from insulated battery post to starting motor terminal -0.3 volt maximum.

b. Voltage loss from battery ground post to starter frame 0.1 volt maximum.

If voltage loss is greater than the above limits, then additional tests should be made over
each part of the circuit to locate the high resistance connections.

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


8-260-01 Part Number OE-A2
3. Lubrication - No lubrication is required on the starter motor except at the time of overhaul.
The Bendix shaft should receive a thin film of Lubriplate #777 or equivalent on the Bendix
portion of the shaft annually, and more frequently when the aircraft is operated in abusive
environments, such as dirty conditions, snow, and high moisture areas. If the pinion teeth
are worn or damaged, then replace with new. Service Drive Assembly & Shaft each 50
Hours. Wash clean with mineral spirits and lubricate with spray silicone. (Do Not use oil
or graphite)

4. Drive Operation - The starter motor should be operated for a few seconds (not to exceed 10
seconds) with the ignition switch off to make sure that the pinion engages properly and that
it turns freely without binding or excessive noise. Then the engine should be started two
or three times to see that the pinion disengages properly when the engine is turned off.

The gear reduction starter motor consists of six major components (Figure 2): (1) The
Commutator End Head Assembly, (2) The Armature, (3) The Housing Assembly, (4) The Gear
Track, (5) The Pinion Housing, and (6) The Starter Drive Assembly. See (Figure 2).

When the starting circuit is energized, battery current is applied to the starter terminal.
Current flows through the brushes to the armature windings to ground. Permanent magnets
are used to create a strong magnetic field. The magnetic force created begins to turn the
armature.

The gear cut on the drive end of the armature shaft extends into the planetary gear assembly
that drives the shaft assembly which is connected to the bendix assembly with a roll pin.

When the armature turns, the Bendix drive pinion meshes with the flywheel ring gear by
inertia and action of the screw threads within the bendix sleeve. A detent pin engages in a
notch in the screw threads which prevents de-meshing if the engine fails to start when the
starting circuit is de-energized.

When the engine reaches a pre-determined speed, centrifugal action forces the detent pin out
of the notch in the screw shaft and allows the pinion to de-mesh from the flywheel.

STARTER MAINTENANCE:
The starting circuit should be inspected at regular intervals, the frequency of which should be
determined by the amount of service and the conditions under which the aircraft is operated.
It is recommended that such inspection be made at least twice a year and should include the
following:

1. Battery - The battery should be checked with a hydrometer to be sure it is fully charged,
and filled to the proper level with appropriate water. A load test should be done to
determine battery condition. If dirt and corrosion have accumulated on the battery, it
should be cleaned with a solution of baking soda and water. Be sure none of the solution
enters the battery cells.

2. Wiring – The starting circuit wiring should be inspected to be sure that all connections are
clean and tight and that the insulation is sound. A voltage loss test should be made to
locate any high resistance connections that would affect starter efficiency. This test is
made with a low reading voltmeter while cranking the engine at approximately 100
amperes, then the following limits should be used:

a. Voltage loss from insulated battery post to starter terminal – 0.3 volt maximum.

b. Voltage loss from battery ground post to starter frame – 0.1 volt maximum.

If voltage is greater than the above limits, additional tests should be made over each part
of the circuit to locate the high resistance connections.

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


8-300-01 Part Number OE-A2
3. Lubrication – No lubrication is required on the starter except at the time of overhaul. Then
lubricate the entire shaft under the bendix drive, fill grooves in armature drive gear, and
apply a small amount of Chevron SRI #2 into planetary gears and gear track.

4. Drive Operation – The starter should be operated for a few seconds (not to exceed 10
seconds) with the magneto switch off to make sure that the pinion engages properly and
that it turns freely without binding or excessive noise. Then the engine should be started
two or three times to see that the pinion disengages properly when the engine is turned
off.

STARTER REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS:


To remove the starter from the engine, first disconnect the ground cable from the battery
post to prevent short circuiting. Disconnect the cable from the starter positive terminal,
and then take out the mounting bolts. The starter can then be lifted off and taken to the
bench for service.

13. Wipe all parts clean with a clean cloth.

COMPONENT INSPECTION AND TESTING:


1. Oil and dirt should be removed from the insulation and insulators. Check insulation and
all insulators for wear.

2. Inspect all parts for wear using the Specifications and Limitations Table for tolerances.

3. Check the brushes to see that they slide freely in the holder and make full contact on the
commutator. If worn to a length of .250” or less, they should be replaced.

4. Check the armature commutator for uneven wear, excessive glazing or evidence of
excessive arcing. If only slightly dirty, the commutator can be cleaned with 00 or 000
sandpaper. If the commutator is rough or worn, it should be turned in a lathe. The
armature shaft should be inspected for rough bearing surfaces and rough or damaged
gear splines.

To test the armature for grounds, a set of test probes connected in series with a 110 volt
light should be used. Touch one probe to a commutator segment and the other to the
armature core. If the lamp lights, the armature is grounded and should be replaced.

NOTE:
Exercise extreme caution when using 110 volt test light or any other high
voltage test equipment.

To test for shorted armature coils, a growler is used. The armature is placed on the
growler and slowly rotated by hand while a steel strip is held over the core so that it
passes over each armature core slot. If a coil is shorted, the steel strip will vibrate.

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


Part Number OE-A2 8-330-01
An alternate method for testing the rotor for grounded or shorted windings is to utilize
an appropriate surge/hipot tester, such as the Baker instrument, model ST106A. Refer
to the manufacturer for suitable instructions and settings.

A quick check for opens can be made by inspecting the trailing edge ( in direction of
rotation ) of the commutator segments for excessive discoloration. This condition
indicates an open circuit.

5. Check the pinion housing for cracks and the brass bushing for excessive wear. Remove
any rust, paint or grease from mounting surfaces.

6. The Bendix Drive should be wiped clean with a dry cloth. The pinion should turn
smoothly in one direction and should lock in the other direction.

7. Check gauss strength of magnets in armature housing using the Specifications and
Limitations Table (Chapter 9) for tolerances.

STARTER ASSEMBLY:
NOTE:
When assembling the starter, always use an arbor press and the proper bearing
arbor for installing graphitized bronze and roller bearing. The Bendix shaft
should have a thin film of Lubriplate #777 or equivalent on the Bendix portion of
the shaft.

BENCH TESTING OF STARTER:


After the starter is reassembled, it should be tested. When tested on a starter tester, if current
is too high, check the bearing alignment and end play to make sure there is no binding or
interference. Never perform a no load current test on this starter as the planetary gears will
be destroyed in this test.

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


8-360-01 Part Number OE-A2
If no difficulty is indicated in the above test, a small torque test may be made to see if the
starter is producing it’s rated cranking power. Using a starter tester such as a Crumbliss
(various models available) that provides dynamic load to the pinion, check for start from rest
torque and running load torque. If torque and current are not within specifications (see
chapter 7), check the seating of the brushes and internal connections for high resistance, if
these checks are made and everything is found to be in good order, replace brushes and
commutator end plate and re-test.

INSPECTION OF STARTER CONTROL CIRCUIT:


Inspect the control circuit wiring between the battery, solenoid and manual starting switches
for breaks, poor connections and faulty insulation. Tighten all connections and make sure
solenoid is firmly mounted and makes a good ground connection.

Check the voltage loss across the switch contacts during normal starting. If loss is in excess
of 0.2 volts per 100 amperes, the solenoid should be replaced.

If solenoid fails to operate when the manual switch is turned on or it fails to release when the
manual switch is released, it should be removed and tested to specifications. If either opening
or closing voltages are not as specified, replace the solenoid.

NOTE: replacement parts required at each
overhaul. When marked with a ∆, replace
with new whenever parts are removed.
GENERAL:
The starting circuit is designed to carry high current with a
minimum loss of voltage. The starting circuit includes the
battery, solenoid switch, manual starting switch, starter
motor, wiring and frame. The starter motor cranks the
engine for starting while the battery supplies the power
and the manual key-switch and solenoid starting switch Figure 1-12/24 Volt Starter
control the operation.
The starter must develop a high cranking torque for a limited period of time when the
starting switch is closed. The ES646 series starters are basically powerful electric motors
used to turn the engine over to provide a start. When the starting circuit is energized,
battery current is applied to the starter terminal. Current flows through the brushes to the
commutator through the armature windings to ground. This creates a strong magnetic field.
The magnetic force created begins to turn the armature. This in turn will engage the vendor
supplied starter adapter which will transmit drive torque to the engine accessory gear. After
engine start, the engine’s starter adapter clutch mechanism allows the engine to over-run the
starter until it is de-energized.

The starter assembly consists of six main components: (1) The Drive End Flange with
Bearing & Oil Seal, (2) The Armature with shaft, (3) The Housing with Field Coil Assembly,
(4) The Power Input Stud with hardware, (5) The Brush Holder Plate with Brushes, and
(6) The Commutator End Cover (CE) with Bearing. See (Figure 2).

When the starting circuit is energized, battery current is applied to the starting motor terminal.
Current flows through the starter field coils creating a strong magnetic field. At the same
time, current flows through the brushes to the commutator, through the armature windings to
ground. The magnetic forces created in the armature and in the field windings, react with one
another creating a rotational force (torque) which is coupled to the starter drive adapter.

1. The Drive End Flange the drive-end flange assembly provides the mounting flange for
attachment of the starter to the engine (or starter adapter) and supports the bearing through
which the armature shaft rotates.

2. The Armature consists of a laminated soft iron core assembled on the armature shaft, a
commutator and the windings, which are wound in slots in the core and connected to the
commutator. The commutator is made up of a number of copper segments insulated from
each other and from the armature shaft. The armature shaft extends through the drive end
flange with a blade end that engages the engine starter adapter.

3. The Housing and Field Coil Assembly includes the housing - which physically supports the
other components of the starter, the field coils, the brush holder plate with brushes, and
the pole shoes. The field coils supply the magnetic field required for producing torque
while the pole shoes and housing provide the path for magnetic flux flow. The housing
contains the brush holder plate with brushes.

4. The Power Input Stud provides a path for electrical current (+) to flow into the starter and
out (-) through the Drive End Flange.

5. The Brush Holder Plate is a plate containing two brush holder assemblies. The brush
holder is a one-piece device which provides placement and spring loading of the brushes.

6. The Commutator End Cover the commutator-end cover assembly contains a bearing in
which the commutator end of the armature shaft is supported for rotation.

Check the commutator for uneven wear, excessive glazing or evidence of excessive arcing.
If it is only slightly dirty, glazed or discolored, then the
commutator can be cleaned with 00 or 000 sandpaper.
If the commutator is rough or worn, then it should be
turned on a lathe (Figure 4). The armature shaft should
be inspected for rough journal surfaces and rough or
damaged splines. (Refer to Chapter 9, Tolerances and
Specifications.)

2. Brush Holders - To test brush holders use a set of test Figure 4 - Commutator

16. Rotate starter shaft 360° to insure free movement and to square up end housings.

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


Part Number OE-A2 - Rev. 11 8-450-01
17. Remove the thru-bolts (20) one at a time and apply Loctite® 271 adhesive. Reinsert the
thru-bolts and torque to 35-45 in-lbs. Test the starter for proper operation.

18. If starter meets test requirements, operates without excessive noise and the shaft turns
with less than 5 in-Ibs. of torque, the starter should function satisfactorily on the engine.

19. If an ES646238-1 or -3 is being reassembled with a solenoid (25) it must be replaced.

20. Place solenoid with the terminals facing the starter terminal and install two screws (27)
through the solenoid bracket and secure to the starter.

21. Install the connector (26) cable between the solenoid terminal and the starter terminal
and secure each terminal with lockwasher and nut holding the bottom nut secure.

BENCH TESTING OF STARTER:


After the starter is reassembled, it
should be checked to see that the
no-load current at a certain voltage
falls within the test specifications
given on page 7-40-01. To make
this test, connect the assembled
unit as shown in (Figure 11). If
current is too high, check the
bushing alignment and end-play Ground
as described below to make sure
there is no binding or interference. Ground

Figure 11 - No Load Current Test Connection.


If no difficulty is indicated in the
test.

If the torque and current are not within specifications, check the seating of the brushes and
internal connections for high resistance. If these checks are made and found to be in good
order, replace the armature assembly and retest the starter.

T o r q u e & D r i v e S h a f t T o l e r a n c e:
The torque and drive shaft tolerance checks may be done anytime the starter is removed or
when symptoms of noise or poor starter performance occur.

Specifications
1. See Figure 12 for the starter drive shaft specifications and torque.

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


8-460-01 Part Number OE-A2 - Rev. 06
Drive shaft “at rest” torque check
1. Check the drive shaft “at
rest” torque first, as any
discrepancy found will
require repair or overhaul of
the starter.

2. Rotate the starter drive shaft


by hand several turns
clockwise (CW) as viewed
from the drive end.

Figure 12 - Starter Shaft Specifications


3. Use a suitable tool with a
properly calibrated in-lbs
torque wrench to check
torque. A tool can be made
using an appropriately sized clevis bolt with a nut tightened securely on the thread end.
4. Slowly rotate the inch-pound torque wrench clockwise (CW) through 360˚ or more. The
torque indication must be 5 inch pounds or less. The starter must be repaired or
overhauled if rotational torque is higher.

Drive Shaft Position Check


1. Check the position of the drive shaft with respect to the housing for min. and max.
tolerance using a dial indicator. Any style of dial indicator set up is permissible
provided that the indicator reads to a minimum of 0.001 inch resolution.
2. The set up requires the starter be held vertically with the drive end up and then
vertically with the drive end down.
(a) Placing the starter vertical with drive end up allows a check of the length of the
drive shaft from the starter mounting flange.
(b) Placing the starter vertical with the drive end down allows a check of the drive shaft
end play by measurement and calculation.
3. Check the starter drive shaft minimum length by setting the starter on blocks vertically
with the drive end up.
(a) Size the blocks of equal measure and width so the starter is stable.
(b) Place the back side of the mounting flange on the blocks.
(c) Tap gently on the drive shaft with a plastic mallet.

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


Part Number OE-A2 - Rev. 06 8-470-01
4. Place the dial indicator on the flange surface
which will mate to the engine starter drive
adapter, zero the indicator. Refer to Figure 13.

Figure 13 - Set Dial at Zero

5. Place the dial indicator on the apex of the


drive shaft and record measurement. Refer to
Figure 14.
(a) The measurement recorded must fall
between 0.580 inch and 0.630 inch
inclusive of the starter end play allowance
shown in specifications.

8-480-01 Part Number OE-A2 - Rev. 06
Drive Shaft Maximum Length Check
1. Check the starter drive shaft maximum
length by setting the starter vertically with
the drive shaft down.
(a) Rotate the drive shaft by hand through one
revolution.
(b) Size the blocks of equal measure and
width so the starter is stable.
(c) Place the mounting flange (flange mating
to starter drive) on the blocks.

Figure 15 - Set Dial at Zero


(d) Tap gently on the drive shaft rear cover
with a plastic mallet.
2. Place the dial indicator on the flange surface
which will mate to the engine starter drive
adapter, zero the indicator. See Figure 15.
3. Place the dial indicator on the apex of the
drive shaft and record measurement. See
Figure 16.
(a) The measurement recorded must fall
in between 0.580 inch and 0.630 inch
which is inclusive of the starter end
play allowance.

Figure 16 - Record No. at Top


Drive End Play Determination
1. Determine if the starter falls into the allowable end play measurement by making a
calculation. This is done by taking the maximum measurement found in “Drive Shaft
Maximum Length Check” step 3 and subtracting the minimum measurement found in
“Drive Shaft Position Check” step 5.
(a) For example, if the shaft maximum measurement was 0.610 inch and the minimum
measurement was 0.585 inch then subtracting 0.585 inch from the 0.610 inch will
result in 0.025 inch end play. This is acceptable as the allowable end play range
is 0.005 to 0.050 inch.
2. If the starter drive shaft end play is out of allowable range of 0.005 to 0.050 inch or
the drive shaft length is beyond the min 0.580 or max 0.630 inch, repair or overhaul
of the starter is recommended. Do not install starters outside of these limits on any
starter drive or application.

Overhaul Manual - Aircraft Alternators & Starters


Part Number OE-A2 - Rev. 06 8-490-01
Operation - The starter should be operated for a few seconds (not to exceed 10 seconds) with
the ignition disabled to make sure that the starter adapter engages properly and that it turns
freely without binding or excessive noise. To do this, connect a jumper lead to the “P”
(primary) lead of both magnetos while connecting the other end to a convenient clean engine
grounding point. The engine will now be inoperative until the jumper lead is removed. After
making the above test, remove the jumper lead. Engines incorporating the starter drive
adapter assembly should be started two or three times to see that the starter disengages
properly when the engine is turned off.

Service Bulletin
Bulletin No. 021 Issue Date: February 26, 2004
Technical Content is FAA Approved

SUBJECT: 1) Notification of the applicability of the Kelly Aerospace OE-A2 Starter and
Alternator Overhaul Manual.
2) Notification that the OE-A1 Overhaul Manual is superceded and obsolete.

REASON: To notify and clarify the relevant IFCA data to be used for the overhaul of Kelly
Aerospace Electrical accessories.

PRODUCTS
AFFECTED: All Kelly Aerospace Electrical Accessories (Starters & Alternators)

COMPLIANCE: Effective Immediately

OE-A2 Overhaul Manual (Starters & Alternators)

On May 1, 2003, Kelly Aerospace Power Systems, Inc. released new IFCA (Instructions for Continued
Airworthiness) data to be used to overhaul and maintain various electrical accessory components
manufactured by Kelly Aerospace Power Systems. This OE-A2 Overhaul Manual supercedes and
replaces the OE-A1 Manual originally issued by Prestolite Electric Company several years ago.

THE OE-A2 MANUAL OBSOLETES AND SUPERCEDES THE OE-A1 MANUAL

Kelly Aerospace has been advised by the FAA that field overhaul facilities have been reported to be
continuing to use the OE-A1 Manual information and data to overhaul starters and alternators even
though they have acquired subscriptions to the superceding OE-A2 Manual and/or are aware of the
availability of the new IFCA data (OE-A2 Manual) and its applicability.

This bulletin is intended to clarify the fact that the OE-A1 Manual is obsolete and superceded, and
cannot be used as the FAA approval basis for component overhauls. All OE-A1 Manuals should be
discarded or clearly marked “OBSOLETE”.

For those organizations which have not yet subscribed to the new OE-A2 Manual, it can be ordered
through the Kelly Aerospace Customer Service/Sales Group by calling toll free, 877-359-5355, or
334-286-6994. The initial subscription price includes one year of revisions.

1. Planning Information
A. Effectivity
(1) Gear driven alternators, series ALT, ALU, ALV, ALX, ES-4000, and DOFF10300
shipped from Hartzell Engine Technologies LLC (HET) are affected by this Service
Information Letter (SIL).
WARNING: DO NOT USE OBSOLETE OR OUTDATED INFORMATION. PERFORM ALL
INSPECTIONS OR WORK IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MOST RECENT
REVISION OF THIS SERVICE INFORMATION LETTER (SIL). INFORMATION
CONTAINED IN THIS SIL MAY BE SIGNIFICANTLY CHANGED FROM EARLIER
REVISIONS. USE OF OBSOLETE INFORMATION MAY CREATE AN UNSAFE
CONDITION THAT MAY RESULT IN DEATH, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, AND/

LETTER.
B. Concurrent Requirements
(1) Additional service documents may apply to the gear driven alternators affected by this
Service Information Letter. Compliance with additional service documents may be necessary
in conjunction with the completion of the Accomplishment Instructions in this SIL.

C. Reason
(1) During installation of gear driven alternators, there have been reports of the shipping
washer, the spacer and/or a combination of both being installed and not discarded.
(2) All gear driven alternators are shipped with a shipping spacer and some with a spacer and
washer combination.
(3) It is imperative that this shipping hardware be discarded when installing the drive coupling.
(4) Improper installation may lead to the degradation or loss of alternator function and/or
damage to the engine.

D. Description
(1) This publication provides Additional Maintenance Information (AMI).

2. Accomplishment Instructions
A. Identify the shipping hardware.
(1) Gear driven alternators may or may not have a shipping washer included.
(a) Identify the shipping washer. These are all large thin washers with a notch cut in the
inside diameter to allow the washer to slip over the woodruff key. Not all alternators
will have a shipping washer included. Discard this washer prior to any installation
work. (Refer to Figure 2).
(b) The ALV-9510R alternator (only) is shipped with an HET P/N ALV-74 washer
located at the base of alternator drive shaft. This washer does not have a notch
cut into it and must be retained to allow proper fit of the drive coupling. (The HET
P/N ALV-74 is not a shipping washer.) Refer to Figure 5.
NOTE: Alternators are currently shipped with non-metallic tubes as the shipping spacer and
will not have a shipping washer. Existing alternator inventory may have a previous
shipping hardware configuration.
(2) All gear driven alternators are shipped with a shipping spacer.
(a) The shipping spacer may be a phenolic or cardboard tube fitted closely over the
shaft and woodruff key, or a thin metal barrel formed to fit over the woodruff key
with a slot on the opposite side. Discard this shipping spacer. Refer to Figure 2.
(b) If the shipping spacers are cardboard as shown in Figure 3 or phenolic type as
shown in Figure 4, they may still have a metal shipping washer.

CAUTION: HET DOES NOT PROVIDE ALTERNATOR OR ALTERNATOR DRIVE COUPLING


INSTALLATION PROCEDURES. TO AVOID DAMAGE OR INJURY, CONSULT
THE LATEST REVISION OF THE APPLICABLE ENGINE OR AIRCRAFT
SERVICE OR MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS TO COMPLETE THE
INSTALLATION OF THE ALTERNATOR DRIVE COUPLING AND ALTERNATOR.
B. When installing a coupling onto an HET gear driven alternator, observe the latest revision of
Continental Motors, Inc. service bulletins SB11-3 or SB95-3B as applicable for alternator
and drive coupling installation on CMI engines.
