• Allen Wrench, 2.5mm (3/32 in.) and 1/16 in. (1.5mm) to assure proper fitment. This statement is only applicable • RPM-412 Wrench if using genuine Ransburg (Carlisle Fluid Technologies) support parts. 4. Use the following rebuild kit to service RPM-401-2, kit number KK-4461 or KK-4461-1.
MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE TEARDOWN PROCESS Step 3: Inspection of Rotor Looking at RED circle, make sure the magnets are seated OF RPM-401-2 (STEPS 1-9) visually. Damaged magnet will result in speed control issues if using Ransburg speed controllers. Step 1: Serial Number Identification If seeking warranty and or evaluation, please provide serial number of turbine motor.

MAINTENANCE Observe O-ring A13065-00 placement in front of bearing as Typical view of the shaft assembly removed from the motor shown, see red arrow shown. Notice the o-ring (A13065-00) on the front bearing. Step 8: Remove Second Bearing and Spacer in Housing, See Following Views Pull front bearing out of housing along with RPM-51 spacer as shown.
MAINTENANCE Step 9: Remove Screws from Bearing and If the bearing is acceptable proceed “facing off” of the ma- Thrust Plate chined face. Use emery cloth 2/0 grade and a “flat surface” Before disassembly of air bearing from thrust plate make such as granite plate.

MAINTENANCE Step 11: A14779-00 (RPM-25) Rear Bearing Step 12: RPM-26 Front Upper Bearing Inspect the “V” groove on the bottom of the thrust plate around Using a narrow strip of the emery cloth included in rebuild kit, the circumference of the bearing air holes. The groove must rub lightly on ID of the bearings both front and rear.

MAINTENANCE Now rinse the bearing air holes clean using the electrical Please note: if the electrical contact cleaner will not pass- contact cleaner with the small red tube attached. The spray through jet in strong defined stream use wire to open jet. must escape from the opposite side of the hole noting that If neither the wire nor electrical contact cleaner will pass the hole is clean of all debris.

MAINTENANCE Polish both flanges on the shaft, use the cut emery cloth Step 16: (RPM-27) Body Clean and Inspect donuts provided in the rebuild kit KK-4461 / KK-4461-1. Place Replace O-ring the donut onto the flange of the shaft rough side forward. Inspect the body for damage clean the body, if necessary, Place the flange bearing face onto donut.

MAINTENANCE RE-ASSEMBLY PROCESS OF RPM-401-2 (STEPS 20-27) Torque to 5-6 lbs.-in. (.56-.68 Nm) using Allen Wrench size 1/16 in. (1.5mm) the eight (8) Step 19: Re-Assembly Process of RPM-401-2 screws as shown. Turbine Motor NOTE During re-assembly of turbine motor make sure your hands are clean and free of any grease or oil.

MAINTENANCE Step 22: Install RPM-100 Front Cover to Housing Step 24: Install Feed Plate RPM-30 onto Housing Assemble RPM-100 cover onto the RPM-27 body hand tight Verify O-ring A14791-00 is installed onto the back side of only. Cover is needed now to keep the bearing assembly the rear thrust bearing noted in step 23.

MAINTENANCE Step 25: Assemble Rotor onto Shaft Step 26: Assemble Rear Cover onto the housing Carefully slip the rotor onto the shaft, use Allen wrench size Verify the small O-ring is installed into the rear cover 3/32 in. (2.5 mm) if needed to rotate the rotor into position of counterbore for bearing the air connection.

MAINTENANCE Step 27: Front Cover Final Assembly (RPM-100) Tighten the SHCS M3x6mm screws to the RPM-100 front cover, torque to 15-16 lbs.-in (1.7-1.8 N-m) using Allen wrench size 3/32 in. (2.5 mm). 15-16 LBS.-IN (1.7-1.8 Nm) GENERAL NOTES: 1. Once turbine motor is assembled following the steps outlined throughout this manual the shaft should spin freely by hand touch and not be bound up.
