Input Shaft: Testing and Inspection
Input Shaft Checking for Wear
4 - Piston
• Checking for wear, refer to => [ Checking Pistons and Thrust Plate for Wear ]
5 - Pressure plate
• Checking for wear, refer to => [ Checking Pistons and Thrust Plate for Wear ]
11 - Input shaft cylinder
• Check running and sealing surfaces for wear, refer to => [ Check Input Shaft Cylinder Running and Sealing
Surfaces for Wear ]
• Checking for signs of wear caused by coated plate, refer to => [ Check Inner Circumference of Input Shaft Cylinder
for Scoring from Lining Discs. ]
13 - Oil pipe
• Checking for wear, refer to => [ Checking Oil Pipe for Wear ]
Checking Pistons and Thrust Plate for Wear
- Remove pistons - 1 - from thrust plate - 2 -.
Check thrust plate - 2 -
- Check thrust plate running and sealing surfaces - arrow A - for wear.
- Check thrust plate running and sealing surfaces - arrow D - for wear.
• If running or sealing surfaces - arrow A - show grooves, scratches or scoring, thrust plate - 2 - must be replaced.
• If running or sealing surfaces - arrow D - show grooves, scratches or scoring, thrust plate - 2 - and pistons - 1 - must be replaced.
Checking pistons - 1 -
- Check seal - arrow B - on outer piston circumference - 1 - for damage.
- Check running surface - arrow C - on interior piston circumference - 1 - on shaft.
• If seal - arrow B - is damaged or piston running surface - arrow C - shows grooves, scratches, scoring or uneven thickness from wear, piston - 1 - must be replaced.
Check Input Shaft Cylinder Running and Sealing Surfaces for Wear
- Check input shaft running and sealing surfaces - arrow A - for wear.
• Shaft seal in input shaft cover seals at this sealing surface - arrow A -.
• Light scoring from shaft seal is normal.
- Check ball bearing running surface - arrow B - in input shaft cover for wear.
- Check shaft seal - arrow C - for damage.
• If seal - arrow C - is damaged or shaft running surfaces - arrow B - or - arrow A - show deep scoring or grooves, entire input shaft must be replaced.
Check Inner Circumference of Input Shaft Cylinder for Scoring from Lining Discs.
- Check inner circumference of input shaft cylinder for scoring from lining discs - arrows -.
• If there is scoring on interior circumference of input shaft cylinder from lining discs - arrows -, entire input shaft must be replaced.
Checking Oil Pipe for Wear
- Check oil pipe seal - 1 - for damage.
• The seal must have a gap - arrow B -.
• If gap - arrow B - is completely closed, oil pipe must be replaced.
- Check oil pipe running surfaces - arrows - and rotor blades - arrow A - for wear, cracks and damage.
• If seal - 1 - or rotor blades - arrow A - are damaged or running surfaces - arrow - show deep scoring or grooves, oil pipe must be replaced.
• The O-ring - 2 - must always be replaced.
- Always check oil pipe running surfaces in suction jet pump. Refer to => [ Suction Jet Pump Checking Wear ] Testing and Inspection.
