Trommel drive unit bearing replacement

Trommel drive wheel replacement

Replacement of bearing on trommel drive unit

Completion date: 24 August 2021

The pedestal bearing failed on this trommel drive unit due to video tape ingress.

We had to remove the whole drive unit in one so we could gain access to remove the motor and gearbox, allowing us to remove the bearing from the shaft. We replaced the bearing and repacked with grease and put it all back together ensuring the toe-in was set correctly for this wheel set.
