Re: AD741 Height Adjustment Broken
|
Hi Brian,
I have successfully removed the broken shaft. It was actually easier than expected.? Once the motor is removed, the entire shaft/spacer/bearing/gear section is simply pulled out in the direction of the motor. This means that bolt #34 does not need to be accessed or removed until the shaft and gear are?completely pulled. The gear is actually slightly smaller in diameter than the bearing.? In order to pull it through,? the only thing necessary is the removal of two bolts on the motor side of the large piston.? Those bolts hold the bearing in place laterally.?
It is still perplexing to me how the shaft can snap since there is no way for any tilt or twist, considering the fact that motor, shaft and piston are all tightly locked to the table bed and cannot tilt independently to cause the shaft to crack. And I doubt the motor is strong enough to crack a 12mm shaft in rotation.?
In any case, I shall now wait for replacement parts. The only remaining question is how to reset the digital readout to match the actual height of the table since the numbers no longer match true height at this point ...
Many thanks!
