prior to taking measurements. Measurements on the

at the 2 o'clock or 10 o'clock position on the turret. Set
As a guide to replacement of worn parts, Belvac

defines wear limits on assemblies that should be used
to indicate potential trouble spots. Excessive radial
clearances are determined by measuring the "LIFT" of
the ram with respect to the ram bushing. Excessive
key and keyway clearances are determined by mea-
suring the "TWIST" of the ram in the ram bushing.
Observing warning signs can avoid catastrophic fail-
ure or loss of productivity due to degraded perfor-
mance. The following are recommended methods for
obtaining the above clearances.
See section 5-2.9 for removal, installation, and adjustment procedures. Also refer to the necker main turret drawing
and face seal air manifold assembly drawing.
Annually inspect the air manifold (item 3020) and rotor (item 3023) for wear, or when the machine is down for
scheduled maintenance. Look for signs of unusual wear, excessive wear, or scoring. A glazed appearance is
normal for the wear surfaces of the face of the manifold and the composite material on the rotor.
The gap between the fixed part (item 3026) and the sprung part (item 3020) of the air manifold should be between
0.030 inches [0.76 mm] and 0.290 inches [7.37 mm].
In general, diagnosing necker performance may be achieved only if the test cans are of a known
quality before necking. If a test can lot is 100 percent inspected for uniformity, and conveyor
damage is ruled out, the necked cans may be marked to identify which ram station was used to

BELT ADJUSTMENT
If the belt needs to be adjusted, the following procedures apply (see photo at right):
1. Loosen (Do not remove!) the bolts that lock the motor to the motor mount.
2. Turn the two (2) adjustment screws until the desired belt tension is achieved. Turning the screws clockwise
will loosen the belt; likewise, turning the screws counter-clockwise will tighten the belt.
CAUTION: It is imperative that the motor remain level. Check the level of the motor before and after
retightening bolts, and readjust it if necessary. Serious machine damage will occur if the motor is not
level.

TROUBLESHOOTING CHART
2-6.20 MOBILITH AW 2
Flash Point (F): Unknown Auto-Ignition Temperature (F): Unknown Flammable Limits in Air (Volume %):
Unknown Fire Extinguishing Materials: Water Spray, CO2, or Dry Chemical may be used. S p e c i a l
Firefighting Procedures: Self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), NIOSH approved, and full bunker gear should be used
to enter a confined fire space. Wear neoprene gloves when handling refuse from fire. Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards:
Above 570 F this material may undergo degradation to compounds which may result in the temporary influenza-like symptoms
described in Section 6. Hydrogen Fluoride fumes evolved during the decomposition/combustion of this material can react
with water to form hydrofluoric acid. Wear gloves when handling refuse.
The OSHA permissible exposure limit for HF is 3 ppm and the established limit (manufacturer ) for tetrafluoroethylene is
20ppm for an 8-hour TWA.
Carcinogenicity: None of this product’s ingredients are found on OSHA, NTP, or IARC lists of suspected carcinogens.
Inhalation: No toxic effects are known to be associated with inhalation or ingestion of airborne respirable fibers during
machining operations such as cutting, machining, grinding, crushing, or sanding. However, particulate fillers can irritate upper
respiratory passages. Repeated and prolonged inhalation of excessive concentration of respirable fiber may cause permanent
lung injury. Machining procedures should be reviewed to assure that particulate levels are kept below recommended exposure
limits listed below. Inhaling fumes of decomposition products (>617 F) can cause temporary influenza-like symptoms
described as “polymer fume fever” and may include fever, cough, and malaise. These symptoms may not occur until several
hours after exposure and pass within 28-36 hours even in the absence treatment.
Chronic Symptoms/Health Effects from Exposure: repeated exposure to the skin may cause sensitization or dermatitis.
Skin- Wash material off of the skin with plenty of soap and water. If redness, itching, or burning
sensation develops, get medical attention. For thermal burns, cool quickly with water and get medical
attention.
Eyes- Immediately flush with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes and have eyes
examined and treated by medical personnel.
Ingestion - Do not induce vomiting. Drink a large volume of milk or water and seek medical attention.
Inhalation - Remove the person to fresh air. Give oxygen if breathing is difficult. Seek medical attention.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by exposure: Existing allergic skin problems or respiratory disorders such as asthma could
be aggravated by exposure to particulate matter generated during machining.
Ventilation and Engineering Controls: Use mechanical methods to control dust when processing. Provide local exhaust
to remove decomposition products and control exposure levels.
Respiratory Protection: Wear NIOSH approved respiratory protection if potential exists for irritation of nasal passages due
to exposure to dust or vapors. In accord with 29 CFR 1910.134, use SCBA in positive pressure mode.
Other Handling and Storage Requirements: Store in cool dry place. Do not smoke in areas where polymers are handled
or stored. Wash hands immediately after use.
Waste Disposal: Disposal must be in accordance with federal, state and local regulations. Do not incinerate. Discarded
product is not hazardous waste under RCRA 40 CFR 261.
TSCA Status: All of the individual ingredients in this compound are listed on the TSCA Inventory.
SARA Title III Section 313: This compound contains Chromium III compounds (with 5-10% Co, 40-50% Cr, and 3-5%Zn)
and 25% Cu metals subjects to the reporting requirements of Section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-
To-Know Act of 1986 and of 40 CFR 372.
