VPC Counterweight Tray Roller Backlash
Adjustment
Initially position the roller assembly so that the slot is
horizontal and above the roller axis (see Figure 10-39
). The
shaft of the roller assembly has 2 mm (0.08 in) of
eccentricity. It is possible to adjust the rack and pinion
backlash by rotating the shaft in the bore.
See Table 10-1
for the permissible front and rear adjustment
combinations and resulting change in backlash.
• To decrease backlash, rotate the shaft counter-
clockwise.
• To increase backlash, rotate the shaft clockwise and a
corresponding increase in backlash will result.
• Adjust equally side to side.
