Syntron® Model: F-330-D Electromagnetic Vibratory Feeder ■■■ Spring Replacement ■ Parts List ■ Specifications ■ Coil and/or Core Replacement SPRING REPLACEMENT GUIDE

WARNING: Before performing any maintenance work, the electrical supply must be disconnected at safety disconnect switch.

CAUTION: If the trough must be removed to gain access to the spring clamping bolts, provide a means of supporting the trough and drive unit. Also be sure the hopper above the feeder is empty or closed.

1. Weld straps to the hopper and trough to support the feeder and material

in the hopper while the springs are being replaced. Refer to Figure 1. NOTE: When replacing springs, do not remove the coil and core assembly. 2. Hold armature and bracket in alignment within the base casting by

driving hardwood wedges between the armature bracket and the base casting. Refer to Figure 2.

3. Loosen the spring clamping screws (J & Q) enough to permit removal of the clamping blocks (R & S). If necessary, use penetrating oil. Remove the old leaf springs (T). 4. Install new springs one at a time, starting with a single spacer spring with the spacers toward the magnet. The springs will have an off-color stripe on one end, all springs should be installed with this stripe on one side and this is the side that should be aligned to the alignment bar. Continue to install the remaining springs in this manner. If the arangement is a split spring stack, place a

double spring spacer before the spacer block and as the last spring before installing the clamping blocks. Refer to Figure 3. 5. Replace the center clamp block (S) and tighten center spring clamping screw (J). Be sure the end of the screw is in the pocket of the clamping block. 6. Replace the end clamp blocks (R) and snug the end clamp screws (Q) enough to hold the spring stack in position.

7. Tap the springs into alignment on one side using the alignment bar as a guide. Be sure the springs are resting

on the alignment bar on both sides. 8. Torque all spring clamping bolts (Q) alternately to equalize the pressure across the springs. Torque

specifications are on page 2 of this manual. 9. Remove wooden wedges, then adjust the air gap to .085”. Refer to Air Gap Adjustment procedures in the

general service manual for electromagnetic feeders (SM0560). 10. After the unit has been operating for several hours, torque clamping screws if necessary. The feeder is now

ready for further operation.

NOTE: Never oil the spring assemblies. If the spring stacks are repainted, do not apply paint to the area between the spring clamping surfaces.

* When reading the current of the unit by using a

tong meter, the meter reading must always be

multiplied by a value of 1.7. A tong meter does

not reveal the same current as stamped on the

equipment nameplate due to the waveform

characteristics of the feeder, when operating.

Therefore the 1.7 multiplier must be used. All

current readings must be taken at the controller.

OPERATING SPECIFICATIONS Maximum trough weight: 300 Lbs. Trough stroke range: .055” TO .058” (Max. Trough Weight) Minimum Natural Frequency: 4100 VPM (60 Cy) *Maximum Current Rating: (nameplate) 28.0 Amps (230V/60 Cy) 13.0 Amps (460V/60 Cy) 11.0 Amps (575V/60 Cy) Nominal Static Air Gap: .085”

COIL / CORE REPLACEMENT WARNING: Before performing any maintenance work, the electrical power supply must be disconnected at the safety disconnect switch.

1. Remove back cover (Y), then loosen the hex nut on the core adjusting screws (A). 2. Disconnect cable assembly (F) from the power supply and ground wire from the base casting. Loosen cable

grip (W) and pull cable through cable grip into the base casting. 3. Remove the four (4) core clamping bolts (C) from core assembly .Carefully removing the core and coil.

CAUTION: The magnet assembly weighs approximately 110 pounds. Use a lifting device. To safely remove core, lifting lugs are provided.

4. Observe the size and location of washers used to attach the coil (F) and connect the ground wire. 5. Remove the coil from the core (B). 6. With the core upright and coil washer and paper insulation in their original location, lower the replacement coil

onto the core. 7. If there is a space between either coil mounting lug and the washer(s), shim with additional washer(s) to close

the space. 8. Attach the coil to the core, using existing bolts, washers, and locknuts. 9. Connect the green ground lead to core at its original location. Be sure to locate the shakeproof lockwasher

between the terminal and the core. 10. Replace core and coil into the base casting. Insure ground connection between core and base casting is

securely connected. 11. Replace core mounting bolts and core mounting bars. 12. Close air gap so that pole faces of core and armature are in contact. Snug down the clamping bolts to hold

the core in place to offer somr resistance when turning in the set screws to adjust the air gap. Check from both top and bottom that core and armature faces are parallel.

13. Insert cable through cable grip, tighten cable grip and reconnect cable leads to the power supply. 14. Adjust air gap to .085 inches. Refer to the Air Gap Adjustment procedures in the general service manual for

electromagnetic feeders (SM0560). 15. Torque the core clamping bolts. Torque specifications are on page two of this manual 16. Replace the cover (Y) and connect the power supply.

17. Check trough stroke, the maximum allowable is .055” to .058 inches. If problems are incurred in obtaining the proper trough stroke, refer to the general service manual for electromagnetic feeders (SM0560).

The equipment is now ready for further operation. After the feeder has been running for several hours it may be necessary to re-torque the bolts holding the core in place.
