10.6.3 Adjusting the bearings
As a basic principle, the bearings are already adjusted from the factory. Should the wheel be tight or uneven after
assembly, the bearings may have to be readjusted.
Mark one of the segments on the outer edge.
Spin the wheel until the marking is at the lowermost point.
Measure the clearance between segment and housing frame.
Spin the wheel until the marking is at the topmost point and measure again.
Both measurements must be no more than +2 millimetres of each other.
If necessary, shim one side of the bearings.
Spin the wheel until the marking is at 9 o'clock position horizontal to the hub.
Measure the clearance between segment and housing frame.
Spin the wheel until the marking is at 3 o'clock position horizontal to the hub and measure again.
Both measurements must be no more than + 2 millimetres of each other.
If necessary, slightly loosen one of the bearings and move back or forth slightly to adjust the run out tolerance.
The separate segments are adjusted by loosening the fixings on the threaded rod where they meet the hub.
A sideways tolerance of 3 millimetres should not be allowed.
10.6.4 Installing back plates and tensioning belts
Note:
This section only applies to segmented wheels above 2500 mm.
Now the back plates and tensioning belts will be installed and tightened.
