5.5 Push the eccentric shaft out through

the pitman eye. The extraction is
made by a hydraulic jack against the
jack support which is bolted to the
pitman. The shaft must be supported
in one end during the whole period of
pushing because it must be

necessary impulsive force is approx.
50 tons. The heating of the pitman
eye decreases the impulsive force

Push the shaft outwards until the distance

bushing comes in sight.

Clean the distance drum between the

pitman bearing and dismount the joint
bolts and remove it, if this crusher model
has the drum. All other models open the
seal ring locking screws from shaft and
slide them to the middle of the shaft.

After removing the distance bushing,

support the shaft also in the middle.
Continue the pushing.

5.6 Disassemble the pitman bearings by

turning the outer ring so that the rolls
come in sight. The disassembling is
carried out by detaching a roll one by
one turns from opposite sides. If its
not necessary to replace the
bearings, it is important to know about
each bearing which side the rolls
have situated and rotated, as well as
which direction the outer and inner
rings have rotated, because if the old
bearings are reassembled, they
should situate exactly the same way
as before disassembly.

in vertical position. The heating must
be even and it must not exceed 120
degrees of Celsius.
Warm up the ring with an effective
gas heater fast so that the heat won’t
transform to the shaft. Equal warming
is confirmed by rolling the shaft and
heating the ring from both sides.

6.1 Assemble the disassembled bearings

or new bearings. Note point 4.7. As to
the pitman bearing it is not allowed to
assemble a new and an old bearing
as a pair, or two old bearings whose
clearance as to each other is over
0.05 mm.

6.2 Mounting of the pitman bearings on

the shaft:

There must absolutely be a plain

mounting surface with a sufficiently
big hole as well as sufficiently deep
mounting pit on which the eccentric
shaft can be placed into the hole of Figure 6.2a
the heated pitman bearing. Heat the
bearing in the oven at the
temperature of 100 degrees of Model Eccentric shaft lifting tool
Celsius and place it on a hole of the
C63 384 757
mounting place. Fasten the eccentric
shaft with a special tool, which C80B 390 780
compensates the angle due to the C80 915 110
eccentricity, and lowers it down into

and place it’s ends on the support.

When the temperature has

decreased to 20 +/- 5 degrees of
Celsius, measure the bearing
clearance. The bearing clearance

is 0.1 mm. about the bearing clearances from
the point 5.9. Check the clearance of
the inner ring and the shoulder of the
eccentric shaft. The clearance must
not exceed 0.1 mm.

If the clearance deviation in the

bearings is below 0.03 mm, fill the
bearings with crease from side to the
percentage of 75.

resistant to water, frost (-30 degrees

shaft to the right position when the
shaft is installed. Turn the pitman on
its side so that the mounted bearing

This can be done by mounting 2 bolts
of the labyrinth cover (H) so that there
are big washers under them. Figure 6.8a

Between the outer ring of the bearing

that the bearings can be locked to the
bottom of the bearing housings with
the help of pieces during the

shaft or adapter sleeve is not allowed Figure 6.8b
to be oiled. They must be wiped with
a clean cloth. Push the above
combination on the eccentric shaft so
that the labyrinths (N-N) are attached
to each other without any clearance.

behind the nut the support drum and
lock it to the end of the eccentric shaft
with three bolts. See the sizes of the
hydraulic nuts and support drums in
tables below.

Push the adapter sleeve inwards by a

hydr. nut until the decrease of the
clearance compared with the value
measured in point 6 has reached the
value in the table (also in instruction Figure 6.9c
