If release and/or lockup pressures still do not match the brake chart, contact the Oerlikon Fairfield service department. BRAKE LEAK REPAIR PROCEDURE: Install input brake bolts into holes in the Brake Piston.
Planetary Final Drive Service Manual Roll and Leak Test ® Torque-Hub units should always be roll and leak tested before disassembly (if possible) and after assembly to make sure the unit’s gears, bearings and seals are working properly. The following information briefly outlines what to look for when performing these tests.

Planetary Final Drive Service Manual Tightening and Torquing Bolts If an air impact wrench is used to tighten bolts, extreme care should be taken to ensure the bolts are not tightened beyond their specified torque. The following steps describe how to tighten and torque bolts or socket head cap screws in a bolt circle.
95 cst and maintain a minimum viscosity of 40 cst under normal operating conditions. Some applications require special considerations; consult the machine manufacturer and Oerlikon Fairfield for more additional information. The table below lists the recommended viscosities for various ambient operating temperatures. These recommendations are based on temperature rise of 50°...
Page 13
Oil temperatures should be not higher than 160° to 180°F for continuous operation, and no higher than 200°F for intermittent operation. For special applications, high horsepower, high speeds or wide temperature changes, please consult Oerlikon Fairfield. ® Oil Fill Level...
Planetary Final Drive Service Manual Seal Installation The seal installation tool can be purchased from MORCOR LTD at Sales@MORCORLTD.com part number MGT045. To begin the procedure, all of the sealing components; Seal Rings (metal rings); O-Rings and the housings must be clean and free of Oil, Grease, Dirt or Dust.
Page 15
With all surfaces of the O Ring (2) wet with alcohol use the Installation Tool (9) to position the Seal Ring (1) and the O-Ring (2) squarely against the Housing (5) as shown. Use sudden and even pressure to pop (push) the Toric Ring under the Retaining Lip (3) of the housing.
Page 16
After a successful installation always wait a few minutes for the Alcohol to completely evaporate, before assembling. The Alcohol is necessary as a lubricant during the installation process, but for assembly the area must be clean and dry in order for the O- Ring to properly "crush"...

Using a small drill bit (typically 1/8”), drill from the top of the bearing nut to the bottom as shown below. Using a larger drill bit (typically 5/16”), drill the bearing nut from the shoulder of the bearing nut to the bottom as shown below. Using a chisel, split open the bearing nut through the larger drilled bore as shown below.
Page 31
Remove Bearing Nut (1E) out of Hub-Spindle Subassembly. Discard Bearing Nut (1E). A new locknut must be used for reassembly. Turn the unit over and carefully place the unit on a support base until the Spindle (1A) rests on it. Ensure there is enough gap to lower the Housing (1G) down. Use a dead blow hammer on the Housing (1G) flange to drive the inboard Bearing Cone (1F) off of the Spindle.
Planetary Final Drive Service Manual Output Planet Gear Disassembly Place the Planet Gear Sub Assembly on bench. CAUTION: Safety glasses must be worn during this next steps. Remove the upper Retaining Ring (3D) from groove of the Planet Gear (3A). Remover Spacer Rings from either side of the Roller Bearing Assembly (3B).
Planetary Final Drive Service Manual Input Carrier Disassembly Drive the Planet Shaft (8D) out of the Carrier (8A) pin holes; forcing the Roll Pin (8E) to sheer off.
