Abene mill gearbox insides
for those interested in the Abene mills, I've uploaded a photo of the
insides of the gearbox that drives the table to the drop box, though I don't see the files there just yet - file names all start with Abene_VHF-3-Gear - If you have one of these, it's best not to take it apart - but if you must, remove the input and output shafts, then unscrew the four nuts holding the assembly together, then pull the back off - you will need to use a pry bar to press the brass gear down as you do this - that will push its bearing out of its mounting hole. This is very nicely made, notice all the ball bearings - all the gears ride on double pairs of needle bearings - this is fine Swiss workmanship - this particular mill was made in 1970 I took it apart because I wanted to clean and paint part of the casting and to replace oil seals - the oil seals are 17mmX35mmX10mm - you can replace them without taking the gearbox apart (I recommend not taking it apart, now that I've done it) - -- Bill www.wbnoble.com |
