shipping a big sleeve bearing motor
shipping a big sleeve bearing motor
(OP)
We have to ship a BIG sleeve bearing motor.
The OEM manual talks about saving the "shaft locking device," which of course is long gone.
Typically does the locking device limit shaft rotation, or provide radial preload, forcing the shaft against the bearing surface?
Thanks,

If the rotor is axial (in line with the truck) the forces against the shaft lock are high should the truck have to hit the brakes. I have also heard it said that the motor sould be sideways on the truck to prevent just this, but if the truck makes a wide sweeping turn at high speed the forces are on the rotor to travel outwards.
To be safe an angle iron bracket section equal to 1/2 the diameter of the shaft(minium 2") and 3/8 section. be placed across the end of the shaft and bolted to the holes in the coupling or shaft end. Then 2 long threaded rods with a tie plates to secure behind 2 endbracket mounting screws. You can adjust the rotor position with 2 jam nuts on the rod.
