Armature bands and core wedges should be tight and secure, On older models watch use wire bands, the soldering should be intact, If solder has been thrown off, the cause should be determined and com rected, and bands replaced. Unless proper faollities for banding are available, the generator should be returned to Electro- Motive, ‘The coll insulation should be clean and free from blisters, flakes, or oracks on tho insulating varnish eurface, When the Condition of the insulating varnish on the armature requires treatment, and tho proper facilities for vacuum impregnating fare not available, retum the generator to Eloctro-Motive, If solder has boon thrown out of the com- mutator risers, tho armature may haveto be rewound, Commutator Polishing ‘The surface of the commutator should Present an even, smooth appearance, free from pitting. Under normal conditions ‘where split type brushes are used, olean- ing of the commutator with « cleaning ‘stone should not be necessary. Commutators, that havo accumulated a grayish black film, which may reault in the burning of the ‘commutator bars, can be cleaned with an improved commutator cleaning stone 8149435, This stone will n13- Graser and doos not affect the face of the brush or the commutator. After grinding, the stone can also be used to remove alight imperfections. Commutator Grinding In the event that the commutator is etched, burned or pitted to the extent that 1 surfacing is required, grinding will be necessary. The following procedure is suggested to grind a commutator, using ‘erinder 5052924. 1f a new act of brushes is to be installed after grinding, remove all brushes except two adjacent sets, which will be used £or starting the ongise, These two sets can be left in, while grinding, provided new brushes are installed after grinding, The next step ia to remove 2 brush holder (it ‘ss suggested that the first holder above the horizontal plane af the generator on the right side, looking into the commutator cond, be removed). ‘The grinding fixture is made up of two parts, the supporting adapter and grinier. ‘Mount the grinder onthe supporting adapt- for and install as 2 unit in place of the ‘brush holder, and securely clamp in the brush holder blocks, as shown in Fig. 21, Square the grindsr with the commutator 80 that the grinder eross-feed will mun parallel with the commutator bars, Check this, using grinder alignment bar 8210141, Before grinding use a short stiff stencti brush and remove any grease ordirt from the commutator slots, ‘The use of vacuum ‘cleaner 8210140 1s recommended toctfeo- tively collect copper and stone dust during, grinding and final clean up, Pig. 21. ‘Mount stones so they are seated squarely on the commutator, With radial feed, pull ‘stones away from commutator and start ‘engine (run at idle speed for grinding). Food stones onto commutator slowly until ight contact is made, then run stones across commutator. To finish, runstones Fig, 21 — Commutator Grinding Fixture across commutator several times without feeding radially. Remove stones and grinding fixture, Clean commutator slots with slot file 8217141 and commutator cloning stones 149435. After grinding the commutator, the gener ‘ator should be cleaned thoroughly. Firat remove all of the loose copper from the Inside of the generator. Using dry com- pressed alr, blow the generator out thor~ ‘oughly. To Complete the removalat copper ‘from commulator slots, runtheengine and dlrect the alr hose at the face ofthe com~ mutator. Any copper remaining in slots, ‘either in the form of dust or slivers, will result in flash-overs. ‘The slote between the commutator bars ‘should be cleaned whenever examination shows that bright mice ts not vistbie, To loan, use @ hacksaw blade that bas tho tooth set ground off, and is of the proper thickness, If the commutator is badly wornar burned, the ‘should be removed and re fumed to Electro-Motive for service, 15+ NOTE: Emery cloth or emery paper should NEVER be used on the commutator, tis unnecessary to use any lubri- cant on the commutator asthereis 4 suffiolent amount of graphite in ‘the brushes to supply all the lubri- cation required, Commutator Turning If the commutator is damaged to auch ex- tent that grinding the commutator 1s not cetfective, the armature should be placed 4m @ latho and the commutator turned just enough to give a uniform surface, Before turning the commutator, 2 aultable cover~ {ng should be placed over the end winding to prevent chips working into the armature. For a light machine out, the speed of the ‘armature should be 181 RPM of 16654 feet Per minute, Use a carboloy-tipped lathe cutting tool when making a Light cut, and ‘nish with fine grinding stones Round off the ends of the commutator ‘segments to at least 1/16" radius with « ‘ine mil fle, Commutator Wear Limits Qverall Diameter — The generator com- ‘mutator Is designed for 8/8" radial wer, which gives a minimum diameter of 4-1/4", Neck Width — When reworking the commu~ ‘tor, the face ofthe commutator is cleaned up by a light machine turned out, When ‘ls operation has to be repoateda number of times, the minimum neck width allow- able is 3/4, Nook Diameter ~The minimum diameter for cleaning up the outside diameter of the ‘commutator neck is limited by the location. of the top eiige of the armature coil: ‘The ‘commutator neck diameter should not be ‘machined below that point, Commutator Undereutting After the commutator has been turned, and then ground with fine stones, or after 16 checking the commutator surface and the surface 1s found to be in good condition, ‘the mfoa should be underout to a depth of 9/64" to 6/64" and a width of .030". When undercutting the width of the mica, 030" ‘undercutting saw 8085255 should be used, After undercutting, burr the commutator with hand scraper to remove shazpedgss from commutator bara, Then apply croous ‘loth lightly around the commutator. Re= ‘move all mioa and copper cuttings with ary compressed atx, Commutator Overhaul ‘The duty performed by a commutator ona ‘heavily loaded generator in railroad sery- {oe ts very exacting and oalla for acommu- talor of a definite design, as wellas highly acourste workmanship in assembling, ‘which is done in a speolal alr conditioned yom. After a commutator has been ‘assembled, there is a definite period of seasoning that requires many hours topre- are it for service, Al of this work requires spoctal machin~ cory that a customer would not be warranted in buying for the few commutators he might have to rebuild, Therefore, itis our Tecommendation that armatures be sentto our plant if the commutators have been damaged to the extent that they must be rebuilt, 4m addition to the work and equipment required to rebuild a commutator, tt is algo necessary that the core be properly Delanced after the commutator has been rebullt, Such repairs should be handled on ‘repair and return isis, Creepage Surfaces 4.

Ibe, and tack weld in placo, NOTE: Commutator bolts should not be tightoned or disturbed unless ‘major work has been performedon the armature such as coil replace- ment, resolder, etc, High Potential Test On Armature ‘While armature is still hot, 60° C, + 10°, apply @ high potential ground teat at 2400, volts for one minute, Armature Shaft Magnaflux armaturo shaft for olrétiifor- tential and longitudinal cracks, df.any are found, the shaft must be replaced. Production tolerance for armature ahett bearing seat diameter is 5.1197" + .0000" 0008". ai Dynamic Balancing ‘The generator armature and the altornator rotor are dynamically balanced individ~ ually (the alternator rotor at 600 RPM and the generator armature at 875 RPM) and ag a generator armature and alternator rotor assembly at 375 RPM, After dynamic balancing. the assembly tn floated thresigh ‘and checked at tho critical speed of balane~ ing machine, When balancing generator armature as- ‘sembly, comterweighte are added to the ‘spider on the rear end of armature and to the inside diameter of the cammutator "V" ing. Whon balancingslternator rotor assembly, counterweights are added toeach end of the Inside diameter of the rotor spider. When balancing generator armature and alternator rotor assembly, counterweights are added to outside diameter of the al- termator rotor spider and the inside diam- ter of the commutator "'V" ring ‘ARMATURE BEARING INSPECTION ‘The roller bearing should be thoroughly inspected for possible evidence of im- ending failure, If there 1a any evidence that the bearing shows signs of distress, it should be replaced with a new bearing. ‘The following procedure may be helpful in ‘inspecting bearings, Cleaning Before attempting to make aay inspection, 4 bearing must be thoroughly cleaned. A. mixture of 50% carbon tetrachloride and 50% benzine has been found eultable for this purpose. After inspection, bearings should be dipped in hot oll to prevent cor~ osion unless they are to be used imme~ lately. A good grade of bearing oll should be used, or grease that is used for its Iubrication in service, Wear A properly lubricated bearing not subjected. to misalignment, dirt or distortion will show no evidence of wear, The internal radial clearance of the bearing may be checked by passing a fealer gauge bo- tween the rollers and race onthe unloaded side. Do not roll a feeler through a bear~ ing. For Limits see Maintenance Data, Fatigue Failure Sign of bearing fatigue will most uaually ‘appear on the bearing surface, Patigue failure is usually evidenced as ragged craters, and may be of aay size, Any bearing showing signs of oracks ar eratera of any size, regardless of how small they may be, should be replaced, ‘This type of faiture 1a more lkely to ‘occur on either the rollers oF inner race, Dents Dents are caused by hard particles of foreign mattor being rolled between the aces and rollers, causing slight deprea- ‘sions where the ‘bearing eurfaces have eon permanently deformed, They are ‘istinguished from fatigue failures by thelr ‘smooth surface with a slightly ralsed edge around the dent. ‘Small donte in themselves cause ttle damage and are usually evident on the earings which have been run, However, should the bearing show signe of more than normal distress, and should there be ‘any question as to whether they are dents cor fatigue fatlures, or should there be any doubt as to thelr effect on the Ife of the bearing, the bearing should be replaced, Soratches In general, soratches due to mishandling sare not serious provided they are emall, Scratches on the bearing surface, parallel to the Tength of the bearing are more -1- Soratches are difficult to differentiate ‘from cracks, and for this reason, if there ‘is any doubt as ‘o their character, they should be treated es oracks due to fatigue failure, Heat Any bearing shoving evidence of having been overheated should be replaced, Cages Bearing cages which show excessive wear should be replaced, Honing When it is neosssary to free up the fit of the bearing, a hone should be Used in the housing, An inside and outside micro- ‘meter should be used for checking the Dearing and the housing dimensions. ARMATURE BEARING ASSEMBLY Before shrinking armature bearing to shaft, it is very important that the bear~ ing be tried tn ts housing before aa- sembly. Place bering housing on floor and try bearing through bore of housing. Care must be taken to see that the bearing ‘enters the housing bore squazely and 1s not cocked. Ifthe outer race 1s tight, then At As necessary the: housing bore be honed to give a push fit having a olearance from 002" to .003", Ma new armature hearing and housingaze to be applied, it may be necessary at assembly to hone tho housing bore to obtain the recommended 002!" to .00: clearance between sousing bore and bear ing race. If a bearing race were at the ‘maximum allowable tolerance, and the housing bore at the minimum allowable tolerance, the recommended clearance ‘would not prevail, See Maintenance Data for bearing dimensions and tolerances.
