y-motor pack

[henry1]

Was that not the bearing for the dust shoe? In any case, the bearing we used would, most likely, not be the same as LHR would have used.

your right berg I have the one flange bearing to fit at the back the front one is bigger here a pic the one I made not to good of a pic

But don't forget the brushes at 250 to 30 hours.

Clint,
I sent an email asking if all of the new y packs would have the larger bearing what size it was and if I would be able to order the bearing. The reply was yes all new y packs would have the larger bearing. They do not offer the bearing for sale and I did not get any information on the size. I don't think they offer the gear alone for sale anymore either. I would hope that the parts would be offered for sale in the future as a rebuild kit for the y and z packs. I do rebuild all of mine myself as it is much more cost effective. We run 3 machine with a fourth as reserve (you never know). It may sound like overkill but for the last 3 years I have been rebuilding both y & z at the 250 hr maintenance.and my scrap due to machine error and down time has been has been greatly reduced. I also do a check on brushes and good check on the ffc cable. I have found that most of my cable failures happen at the end going into the back of the z assembly. I have started wrapping a small piece of duct tape to the cable end that is inserted into the dust shroud or guard. This has practically eliminated any cable problems.

"Calling LHR" as in like "Calling Batman".... Asking LHR to chime in and explain the details for us. IS our LHR Rep still with US?

rmock, thanks for the info. The size si probably the one Al and other were using when they were trying to carve the gear housing for the Y using a larger inside bearing. I have never had to rebuild either Z gear box (2 machines with something around 1000 and 1500 hours) but have replaced a Z pack because of a bad encoder. There isn't the stress on the Z that there is on the Y.
