REPLACING
SLIP
RINGS.
Slip
rings
that
are
damaged
may
be
replaced.
Two
sizes
are
available.
The
early
rotor
shaft
was
smooth
and
the
slip
rings
were
pressed
on
and
the
ring
cemented
to
the
rotor
fan.
Later
rotor
shafts
were
knurled
and
the
slip
rings
were
pressed
on
the
knurled
surface
of
the
shaft.
The
early
slip
rings
have
a
smaller
inside
diameter
and
must
be
pressed
on
the
smooth
rotor
shafts
ONLY.
The
later
slip
rings
have
a larger
inside
diameter
and
must
be
pressed
on
the
knurled
shaft
ONLY.
There
is
also
another
difference
in
the
rotor
shafts
installed
on
the
late
alternators.
This
shaft
has
a grease
retainer
and
an
insulator.
The
retainer
is
pressed
on
over
the
insulator
ahead
of
the
slip
rings.
These
rotors
are
not
interchangeable
with
rotors
used
on
alternators
without
the
counterbore
in
the
rectifier
end
shield.
