Taper mount method
Adjust the screws to reduce the range of radial displacement. When adjusting, identify the screw location
u
with the lowest radial displacement and tighten that screw, aiming for the average of the highest and lowest
indicator readings.
Repeat this process until the DTI readings are within ±5 µm at the screw locations.
u
NOTE: It may be necessary to loosen screws whilst tightening other screws.

Step 2
Clean shaft taper and internal taper of RESR as
u
recommended in the storage and handling section.
Insert the first screws:
u
For RESR rings with 6, 9 or 18 mounting holes,
use 3 equally spaced M3 screws.
For RESR rings with 12, 16 or 20 mounting holes,
use 4 equally spaced M3 screws.
NOTE: Do not lubricate screws.
Recommended screw type M3 × 0.5:
ISO 4762 /DIN 912 grade 10.9 minimum/ANSI B18.3.1M.
u
Insert the screws so that the RESR is loosely connected to
the shaft, then roughly align the ring by eye and touch.
Lightly tighten the screws. Use a Dial Test Indicator (DTI)
u
to check the radial displacement at the screw locations.
NOTE: Disregard the radial displacement between the
screw locations.
DTI
Use a DTI with low exertion force to avoid scratching the
scale surface. A DTI with a ruby ball stylus is recommended
as a further precaution against scratches.
NOTE: At this stage, the screws
should only be lightly tightened
(less than 0.5 Nm)
to allow further final adjustment.
