Traction Motor of Locomotive

 
How to do Backlash measurement of pinion-gear ? 

IN TM shop was   following problems can be analysed:-.


When three teeth match, filler gauge is used to make one side gap NIL, then clearance between other side gives the backlash.

Pinion Draw measurement to be inspected.
a)    Color matching ( more than 90% ensured) sould be done for proper interference between two surfaces.
b)   Pinion inserted.
c)    Pinion drawn out , induction heated and again inserted.
d)   Pinion draw= ©-(b)

Lateral and longitudinal bogie clearances can be measured as in above picture .


Shown in above: Modified stator clamps to hold bracing ring which protects overhang portion from vibrations .

Greasing nipple and bearing cover groove matching is necessary for proper greasing in HITACHI motors.  

The bearing cover groove , if not in matching location, results in blockage of path. This cover is supposed to be shrink fit but is press fitted in the shop.
