Open the catalog to page 4Coupling Alignment with Sleeve Bearing Motors Caution: Complete the following procedures before attempting coupling alignment with sleeve bearing motors. Use a flange-type gear coupling for both 1800 and 2600 RPM motors. Do not use a sleeve-type coupling. Sleeve bearing motors have a specified end play. End play limits and the magnetic center (where motor will run) should be scribed on the shaft by the manufacturer. Use the following procedure to align a sleeve bearing motor with a blower. 1. Make sure the motor shaft is level. 2. Position the motor so that when the rotor is pushed toward...
