ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE

Scope: Assembly Procedure of brass insert & 3D printed (MJF) for shaft
attachment

Assembly Steps:

1. Ensure that external splined brass insert is 12±0.05mm in length, if not cut it
using hand cutter by holding the insert between relatively softer material
(nylon block) between the vice .Grind the cut surface for any unevenness and
also ensure the above mentioned dimension.

2. Center the impeller in a lathe and adjust it such as the total run out should
not exceed ±0.05. Ensure that the jaw is not tightened to the extent that it
might leave grip marks on the impeller outer diameter.

3. Using a drill bit of 8mm in the tailstock, drill a through hole in the impeller as
shown below .

4. Using a flat drill of 9mm diameter ,drill a hole up to 12±0.05mm depth.

5. Drill a hole in M8 bolt for centering in the dead center of tail stock.

6. Screw a M8 bolt in the insert up till bolt bottom flushes with insert surface.

7. Align the step 6 assembly with the impeller hub hole & move the tailstock
close to keep the assembly in position.

8. Plug the solder iron to electricity & let it heat for 8-10 minutes.

9. Place the solder iron in contact with brass insert in the position right before
the entry into the impeller hole. Ensure the solder iron does not have any
contact with impeller. Maintain the contact of solder iron & brass insert for 3-
4 minutes such as plastic at the entry softens. Rotate the tailstock wheel
gradually for 5-10 degrees while maintaining the contact between the insert
& solder iron. Rotating the tailstock wheel will slide the tailstock on bed,
which will eventually push the insert into impeller hole, While the sliding
motion happens, move the solder iron in the direction opposite to the
tailstock motion to avoid contact of solder iron with impeller attachment hub
surface

10. Repeat step 9 until the insert flushes with the impeller attachment hub
surface.

11. Leave the assembly for 10 -15 minutes before unscrewing the bolt out of the
assembly.
