Grease
Bearings should be greased with NGLI #2 bearing grease (such as M
per year. Do not over lube since the excess grease will eventually fall into the indexer oil reservoir.
8.3 Troubleshooting and Fault Correction
CAMCO suggests that it is best to completely remove and secure all tooling from CAMCO's
MDE Series Index Drive prior to inspecting or performing repairs. Lock out and tag out all
electrical equipment. Realistically, removing all tooling from CAMCO's MDE Series Index Drive is
prohibitive. Tooling should be removed only as necessary in order to complete the procedures.
Troubleshooting is defined in the following method and formats:
1. Identifying the (Symptom:)
2. Identifying the (#. Cause)
3. Utilizing the given (x. Solution)
Unless a specific solution for a cause of a symptom is given, contact the respective manufacturer
or technician for repairs
Symptom: Indexer appears inaccurate
1. Check if unit stops in dwell. See the assembly drawing for your unit for keyway position in dwell.
Also refer to cycle cam and limit switch function in this manual
2. Is the output shaft backlash-free in dwell? Be sure to disconnect all other devices from the indexer
output including an overload clutch. All indexers must be backlash-free in dwell (see Symptom:
Looseness in Dwell)
3. How is the unit being checked? CAMCO uses a computer controlled checking machine to check
each index against a theoretical perfect index. Contact the factory for assistance. CAMCO keeps
inspection reports for units with special accuracy (units required to be within closer tolerances than
standard)
Symptom: Looseness in one dwell only
1. Followers are worn and need replacing
2. Follower wheel is damaged and needs rework or replacement
Symptom: Looseness in all dwells
1. Camshaft is loose in bearings; check for end play in input shaft
a. Adjust shims on bearing caps. See individual service manual for preload setting
procedures
2. Cam is loose on shaft
