5.6 Installation with Taper Grip® Bush
Fitting the Buddybox on the Machine Shaft
Check the size and condition of the machine shaft to which the Buddybox will be fitted.
Shaft tolerances are h11 for all shaft diameters.
Ensure all mating surfaces of the hollow gear shaft with inner grip, the inside and outside diam-
eters of the Taper-Grip® Bush and the machine shaft are free from burrs and corrosion. Clean
each surface with a solvent to remove all traces of grease and oil.
Lightly oil each screw and insert into the Taper-Grip® Bush; ensure they do not protrude beyond
the rear face.
Secure the two keys of the thrust collar in the face slots of the hollow gear shaft. Screw the
Taper-Grip® Bush into the hollow shaft in a clockwise direction until the bush flange contacts
the thrust collar.
Unscrew the Taper-Grip® bush until the screws are aligned with the pockets in the face of the
thrust collar and a gap of 1 mm minimum exists between the flange and thrust collar. This may
be easier if one of the screws is removed and the pocket viewed through the threaded hole.
Finger tighten all screws into the pockets.
Hollow gear shaft with inner grip
Slide the Buddybox with the Taper-Grip® bush onto the machine shaft. Gradually cross tighten the screws
using a torque wrench. Please refer to the Taper-Grip® installation manual for torque levels.
Fill the cavity between the machine shaft, the hollow gear shaft and the Taper-Grip® bush with
grease. This prevents a build up of corrosion on the shaft end which may affect subsequent dis-
assembly of the Buddybox.
Install a torque arm assembly if one is to be used.
NOTE: Be sure to retighten the gear case bolt to the proper torque value.
After the Buddybox has been running for 20 or 30 hours, re-torque the screws to the indicated
values. Screw torque's should be subsequently checked at normal service (i.e. every 6 months).
5.7 Removal of Taper-Grip® Bush
Slacken each screw gradually until they are free from the pockets in the thrust collar. Give the
Taper-Grip® bush a sharp tap with a mallet to break the taper, this will free the Buddybox. Finger
tighten two of the screws against the thrust collar to prevent the Taper-Grip® bush locking in the
opposite direction as the Buddybox is removed from the shaft.
