I recently acquired a Yuasa spindle speed multiplier with a straight
shank. Woo! Hoo! The seller had said it had a 3/4 shank, and I already
had a couple 3/4 Kwik 200 holders. Alas! As soon as I opened the box
I
knew the seller didn't own a caliper.... or even a ruler. LOL.

I had to chase down a 1" holder for the Hurco, but now I have the
ability
to turn upto 10,000 RPM. Knowing these speeders are hard to find, and
new
ones are expensive I want to take care of it. There is nothing in the
box
resembling documentation, so I was wondering about lubrication, bearing
replacement (if needed), other service, power handling capability, etc.

Anybody have good direct knowledge of these or even a manual they could
scan and forward? Be willing to share?

Thanks,
Bob

Even just a decent recommended service and interval would be appreciated.



http://yuasa-intl.com might be a good place to look / contact.

They sent me scans of original documentation. I've had such poor luck at
getting documentation on older equipment from the original companies the
last few times I've tried that I hadn't even tried until you suggested it.


This is because of corporate acquisition carnage. I hate it.

I just got some new goodies, including a '40s vintage Norton 6x18
surface grinder (hydraulic traverse and cross feed). A quick search
online found the company that acquired the Norton grinder line, and they
have scans of the owners and parts manuals online for downloading. I
similarly found that Kohler has the manuals for 30+ year old engines all
scanned and will send you the links to download them if you email. Some
companies still support old stuff, and we should do what we can to
support them.
