Installing the Traverse Unit on the Shaft
Installing the Traverse Unit on the Shaft
- Assemble the traverse unit onto the shaft by rotating the shaft.
- Set the pitch to the maximum
- Insert one end of the shaft into the traverse unit and continue rotating the shaft.
- To remove the traverse unit, simply rotate the shaft in the reverse direction.
Note: Chamfer the shaft end to 2 X 300 to prevent damage to the Rolling Rings during installation.
Direction of Shaft Rotation.
Traverse units are typically configured for clockwise shaft rotation by default, unless otherwise specified.
Below are two common orientations:
Top Towards (Clockwise Rotation)
In this setup, the traverse unit is configured with the bearing on the reversal lever pointing towards the speed setting dial. This configuration aligns with the default clockwise shaft rotation.
(Refer to Figure 20 for a visual representation.)
Top Away (Anti-Clockwise Rotation)
For anti-clockwise shaft rotation, the traverse unit is configured differently. Here, the bearing on the reversal lever is positioned away from the speed setting dial to accommodate the anti-clockwise rotation.
(Refer to Figure 21 for a visual representation.)
Ensure the correct orientation during installation to match the desired rotation direction of the traverse unit. The accompanying photos and drawings should help guide the proper setup and alignment for your specific application
