magnec bearing adjust
er nut. Supporng the preload tool body in posion while
performing the preload check is recommended.
Apply pressure by pushing the test plunger unl a change in preload can be detected.
Releasing the test plunger will return the preload to its original posion. Pressing and
releasing the test plunger slowly while performing this check is recommended.
Detecon of the bearing preload can be recognised by a disnct sound. This may be
accompanied by a sensory feel through the tool and pump body. If a change in preload
cannot be detected, it may be possible to carry on with the service but with cauon.
Only for nEXT1230H
If no sound can be detected at the nEXT1230H, a mul meter can be used to detect the
change of the preload.
Put one banana plug connected to the mul meter in the hole of the test plunger and
connect the other wire of the mul meter to the pump housing e.g. by connecng it
with the earth screw of the housing. Measure the electrical resistance.
When the force applied at the test plunger is lower than the preload there is no
electrical connecon between the test plunger and the housing.
When the force applied at the test plunger is bigger than the preload there is an
electrical connecon between the test plunger and the housing.
The set preload is measured at the moment when it changes from no electrical
connecon to electrical connecon.
