Introduction
This Special Instruction describes the procedure for the installation and cold alignment of two-bearing generators to locomotive engines. These units are permanently mounted on a Caterpillar base. This procedure for alignment relates to traction generators which are driven from the flywheel (rear driven). This procedure also relates to auxiliary generators that are driven from the front power take-off.
Do not check the final alignment of the generators until the base is in the permanent position. In addition, the engine and generators must be permanently installed on the base. When the initial alignment of the generators is performed at the factory, the alignment is within the tolerance of the "new" category. Refer to the ""Specifications" " Section for details.
Do not perform any procedure in this Special Instruction until you have read this information and you have understood this information.
General Information
Cold Alignment
This section describes the recommended procedure for the cold alignment of two-bearing generators to Caterpillar diesel engines. This procedure must be performed with all of the components at ambient temperature.
The following steps have taken into consideration several factors in order to achieve the correct operating alignment.
Illustration 1 | g00588910 |
(1) Static clearance (2) Crankshaft (3) Running clearance (4) Bearing bore (A) Position of crankshaft during cold alignment (B) Position of crankshaft during operation |
- During the procedure for cold alignment, the crankshaft lies at the bottom of the bores of the main bearing. The following conditions tend to lift the crankshaft and these running conditions cause the crankshaft to rotate approximately around the center of the bores of the main bearing: firing pressures, centrifugal forces and engine oil pressure.
- The weight of the flywheel and the coupling causes a small deflection of the shafts during the procedure for the cold alignment.
Illustration 2 | g00588938 |
(5) Engine (6) Vertical Change In The Location Of The Crankshaft (7) Generator (8) Crankshaft (9) Vertical Change In The Location Of Generator Shaft (10) Rear (11) Front (C) The Location Of The Centerlines Of The Shaft For Cold Alignment (D) The Location Of The Centerlines Of The Shaft During Operation |
- Heat from the engine causes the expansion of metal in the engine and in the generator during operation. The result of this expansion is a change in the locations of the centerlines of the crankshaft and generator shaft. The thermal expansion of the engine is greater than the thermal expansion of the generator. This difference will cause the change in the horizontal centerline of the engine crankshaft to be greater than the change in the horizontal centerline of the generator shaft.
- Due to these factors, the procedure for the cold alignment positions the horizontal centerline of the generator shaft above the horizontal centerline of the crankshaft. Refer to the specifications for cold alignment in the ""Specifications" " Section in order to correctly align the unit during operation.
Hot Alignment
In the past, a check of the hot alignment may have been used to check the accuracy of the procedure for the cold alignment. However, tests have shown that the results of the check of the hot alignment are inconsistent. Therefore, this procedure is not recommended.
Indicator Readings
When you take indicator readings, always remember that a plus reading means that the tip of the indicator has moved into the dial indicator. A minus reading means that the tip of the indicator has moved out of the dial indicator.
When you compare two plus indicator readings, the larger numerical reading is more than the smaller numerical reading. However, when you compare two minus indicator readings, the larger numerical reading is less than the smaller numerical reading. In both cases, the indicator reading will decrease as the tip of the indicator moves out of the dial indicator.
The total indicator reading (TIR) is the total amount of movement of the indicator needle. The TIR is always a positive value even though one or both of the readings are negative. The TIR is equal to fifteen when the indicator reading varies from a value of minus ten to a value of five. The TIR is equal to ten when the indicator reading varies from a value of minus five to a value of minus fifteen.
Illustration 3 | g00589131 |
(1) Bore (2) Face (A) Dial Indicator Position (B) Dial Indicator Position (C) Dial Indicator Position (D) Dial Indicator Position |
Indicator readings are taken at the following four locations: "A", "B", "C" and "D". Refer to Illustration 3. The dial indicator is always zeroed at location "A" before any readings are taken. When readings are taken, the indicator must be returned to location "A" in order to be sure that the indicator reading returns to zero. The reading at "C" should equal the sum of the readings at "B" and "D". This formula is valid when the driving shaft and the driven shaft are rotated together. Check the alignment of these components as these components are rotated.

When you check the alignment of both generators, the indicator reading of the bore will be a positive value. Refer to Illustration 4. This reading occurs because of the following reasons: the mounting of the indicator on the generator, the placement of the tip on the engine side of the coupling and the location of the generator centerlines above the engine centerline.
Crankshaft End Play
The crankshaft end play must be checked during the procedure for the cold alignment. Check this end play both before the installation and after the installation of the driven unit. The end play must not be less than the original end play before the installation of this equipment. In order to check the crankshaft end play, mount a dial indicator on the flywheel housing or on the front housing. The tip of the indicator must be on the face of the flywheel or on the face of the torsional damper. Use a pry bar in order to push the crankshaft toward the rear of the engine as far as possible. Zero the dial indicator. Use a pry bar to push the crankshaft toward the front of the engine as far as possible. The total movement of the indicator needle (TIR) is the crankshaft end play. When you check the crankshaft end play, do not use the bar in order to keep the load against the crankshaft or the generator shaft. Erroneous readings will result from this process. After the installation and the alignment of the generator, the crankshaft end play must not be less than the original end play before the installation of the generator. The end play should be checked after the engine is at operating temperature. The end play must not be less than the end play during cold alignment.
Note: Do not pry against the crankshaft torsional damper. Damage to the damper may result.
Before you take any indicator readings during the alignment, always move the crankshaft toward the front of the engine to the end of the end play. Move the generator shaft toward the engine to the end of the end play.

Since the traction generator is close coupled to the engine, the amount of shimming that is required to accurately locate the inner coupling must be determined. Perform this task during the initial alignment when the locations for the mounting bolts for the generator are determined.
Remove all the foreign matter from the following locations: the mating surfaces of the generator, the pads for the support bracket of the generator and the mounting holes. Be sure that the following mating surfaces are completely clean: the coupling, the engine and the generator. Remove all the foreign matter from the mating surfaces of the base assembly.
There are two methods that are used to easily determine the correct amount of shimming. Method "A" calculates the correct shimming and Method "B" uses a procedure of trial assembly. Either method will give the required results. Refer to Step 1 for Method "A". Refer to Step 2 for Method "B".
Note: If a new coupling is installed, check the individual components before installation of the generator. If the specifications of the original components are uncertain, check the individual components before installation of the generator. Refer to Table 4 in the ""Specifications" " Section for details.
- This Step describes Method "A". Measure Dimension "C" of the inner coupling with the 6V-7030 Micrometer Depth Gauge Group . Measure Dimension "B" of the cover plate with the micrometer. Do not install the following components over the generator shaft hub: the inner coupling, the cover plate and the fan.
Illustration 15 | g00591656 |
(B) Dimension For The Cover Plate (C) Dimension For The Inner Coupling |
- This Step describes Method "B". Place four 6I-1662 Coupling Shims on the generator shaft hub. Place the inner coupling on these components. Install six equally spaced bolts and tighten these bolts to the correct torque. Measure the cover plate (Dimension "B") with the micrometer.
- Install the generator adapter plate to the flywheel housing. Be sure that the pilot diameter on the adapter plate engages the housing bore correctly. On the 3516 engine, ensure that the two clearance holes in the outer hole pattern are located at the bottom. Also ensure that the cutouts for the turbocharger drains are located at the top. Tighten the bolts.

- Use two dowel pins to install the outer coupling on the flywheel. Do not install the inner O-ring at this point. Bolt the outer coupling in place with the following components: six 0S-1592 Bolts and six 5P-8247 Hard Washers . These bolts and washers will be replaced later.
- Ensure that the mounting bolt holes for the generator are free of all debris in order to permit the installation of the drill bushing. Remove the drip shield and the fan guard from the drive end of the generator. Weld the horizontal alignment bolt blocks in position. Refer to Illustration 18. Take precautions in order to keep the splatter from the weld off of the mounting surfaces for the rubber isolator. Run a thread tap through all the alignment holes in order to ensure free operation.

- Place the generator in position on the support pads. Use the vertical and the horizontal alignment bolts on the generator and the base in order to align the generator and the adapter plate. Engage the pilot assembly and install two bolts through the generator mounting flange. This action will ensure that the generator is pulled completely toward the engine.

- Install the alignment tooling on the generator shaft. It is important to locate the dial indicator at the correct distance from the rotational center line. The dial indicator measures the misalignment of the face. Locate the indicator at the position that is shown in Illustration 20. The misalignment of the bore can be measured on the outer diameter of the outer coupling flange. Use the 9S-9082 Engine Turning Tool or the 3R-1937 Barring Tool to rotate the engine in the normal direction of rotation. Periodically release and tighten the bolts that are located between the generator and the generator adapter plate.

- After the generator is correctly positioned, mark the locations on the base for the mounting holes. Use the drill bushing and transfer punch to mark these holes.
- This Step describes Method "A". Move the crankshaft toward the front of the engine in order to remove all of the end play. Move the generator shaft toward the engine in order to remove all the end play. Hold the flat bar against the flange of the generator and use the 6V-7030 Micrometer Depth Gauge Group to measure Dimension "R". This dimension is between the outer face of the generator drive flange and the outer face of the outer coupling.

- This Step describes Method "B". Move the crankshaft toward the front of the engine in order to remove all of the end play. Move the generator shaft toward the engine in order to remove all of the end play. Use the 6V-7030 Micrometer Depth Gauge Group to measure Dimension "S". This dimension is between the outer face of the outer coupling and the outer face of the inner coupling.
- This Step describes Method "A". Calculate the required thickness of the shim in accordance with the following formulas.
- 10.4 - Dimension "C" + Dimension "R" - Dimension "B" = thickness in millimeters for metric dimensions
- 0.41 - Dimension "C" + Dimension "R" - Dimension "B" = thickness in inches for standard dimensions
From the resulting thickness, calculate the required number of shims by dividing the total thickness by 0.8 mm (0.03 inch). Round the answer to the nearest whole number.
- Example: (Metric) 10.4 - 19.0 + 18.5 - 6.4 = 3.5, and 3.5/0.8 = 4.4, Therefore, use four shims.
- 10.4 - Dimension "C" + Dimension "R" - Dimension "B" = thickness in millimeters for metric dimensions
- This Step describes Method "B". Calculate the required thickness of the shim (addition or removal) with the following formulas.
- 10.4 - Dimension "B" - Dimension "S" = thickness in millimeters for metric dimensions
- 0.41 - Dimension "B" - Dimension "S" = thickness in inches for standard dimensions
From the resulting number, calculate the number of shims that must be added or removed by dividing the calculated thickness by 0.8 mm (0.03 inch). Round the answer to the nearest whole number.
- Example: (Inch) 0.41 - 0.25 - 0.23 = -0.07, and -0.07 / 0.03 = -2.3, Therefore, remove two shims.
- 10.4 - Dimension "B" - Dimension "S" = thickness in millimeters for metric dimensions
- Remove the generator from the base. Remove the outer coupling from the engine flywheel. Remove the alignment tooling from the generator drive flange. Drill the mounting holes and tap these holes in the base in the previously determined locations. The rear holes on the 3516 engine are tapped through the base rail. The front holes are tapped to the depth that is shown in Illustration 22.

- If necessary, remove the inner coupling from the drive hub of the generator. Place the fan over the generator shaft and rest the fan against the bearing support. Install the O-ring seal and the cover plate into the bore of the outer coupling. Failure to correctly install this O-ring seal will cause loss of silicone grease and the coupling will fail. Bolt the cover plate to the outer coupling with twelve 5/8 inch bolts (11 UNC). Place this assembly over the generator drive flange.
- Install the correct pack of shims over the shaft coupling pilot. The thickness of this pack of shims is calculated in Step 11 and Step 12. Install the inner coupling and tighten the twelve 7/8 inch bolts (9 UNC).
- Apply one tube of silicone grease to all the external tooth surfaces of the inner coupling. Install two rubber boots over the inner coupling. The silicone grease will retain these boots.
- Apply some additional silicone grease to the outside of the rubber boots. This grease will enable the outer coupling to move into the proper place. Rotate the generator shaft until the two rubber boots are approximately at the top.
- Install the outer coupling over the rubber boots. Screw two long bolts or dowel pins into the holes for the jacking screws for the outer coupling. This action will ease the handling of the coupling. Add the remainder of the silicone grease. Install the last rubber boot into the remaining space between the inner coupling and the outer coupling.
- Use a small amount of silicone grease in order to retain the inner O-ring seal in the outer coupling. Ensure that the O-ring is correctly located. Failure to install this O-ring seal will cause loss of silicone grease and the coupling will fail. Remove the two bolts or dowel pins from the outer coupling if these items were used.
- Install two dowel pins in the flywheel. Reinstall the generator on the base. As the generator is brought up to the engine, be sure that the O-ring seal is correctly located. Be sure that the generator fan is brought into the correct location which is on the coupling mounting flange. Use the dowel pins to guide the outer coupling and the generator fan into position. After the outer coupling is against the flywheel, do not pull the coupling backward onto the dowel pins. This action will cause the O-ring seal to stick to the flywheel. The O-ring seal will then be displaced from the groove. Failure to correctly install this O-ring seal will cause the loss of silicone grease and the coupling will fail. Install ten bolts through the fan and the coupling into the flywheel. Replace the two dowel pins with the remaining two bolts and tighten.
- Install the alignment tooling on the generator shaft. Note the location of the dial indicator that measures the misalignment of the face. Ensure that the engine and the generator are in contact and that both the shafts are pushed forward. Fit the shims under the bolts of the support bracket for the main generator.

- Use the following procedure to ensure that the load on each support bracket for the generator is the same load.
- Loosen all the vertical alignment bolts. Install the following mounting bolts for the generator: (31), (32), (33) and (34) .
- Tighten the bolts to one-half of the final torque in the following sequence: (31), (32), (33) and (34) .
- Rotate the crankshaft until the measuring bore of the dial indicator is at location "CC". Zero the indicator.
- Loosen the bolt (33) and tighten the bolt (32) to one-half of the final torque.
- If the indicator needle moves 0.05 mm (0.002 inch) or less, tighten the bolt (33) to one-half of the final torque. Then proceed to Step 22.f. If the indicator needle moves more than 0.05 mm (0.002 inch), add shims under the bolt (33) or the other bolt (32). Loosen all the bolts and repeat Step 22.b through Step 22.e.
- Loosen the bolt (34) and tighten the bolt (31) to one-half of the final torque.
- If the indicator needle moves 0.05 mm (0.002 inch), tighten the bolt (34) to one-half of the final torque. Then proceed to Step 22.h. If the indicator needle moves more than 0.05 mm (0.002 inch), add shims under the bolt (34) or the other bolt (31). Loosen all the bolts and repeat Step 22.b through Step 22.g.
- Tighten all the bolts to the final torque. The indicator needle must not move more than 0.05 mm (0.002 inch).

Realignment Of An Assembled Unit
Use the following procedure to realign the generator, if the measurements are not within the specification that is shown in the ""Analysis Of Measurements For The Traction Generator" " Section. After a correction has been made for a specific misalignment, all measurements must be taken again in order to be sure of the accuracy of the final alignment.
- If the dimension "G" is not within the specification, shims must be added or removed from the inner coupling and the generator shaft. These shims are located in the space between these two components. Calculate the required thickness of the shim (addition or removal) in accordance with the following formulas.
- 10.4 - Dimension "C" - Dimension "D" = thickness in millimeters for metric dimensions
- 0.41 - Dimension "C" - Dimension "D" = thickness in inches for standard dimensions
From the resulting number, calculate the number of shims that must be added or removed. In order to make this calculation, divide the calculated thickness of the shim by 0.8 mm (0.03 inch). Round the answer to the nearest whole number.
- Example: (Inch) 0.41 - 0.25 - 0.23 = -0.07, and -0.07 / 0.03 = -2.3, Therefore, remove two shims.
- 10.4 - Dimension "C" - Dimension "D" = thickness in millimeters for metric dimensions

Since the auxiliary generator is close coupled to the engine, the axial position must be determined in order to provide the correct operational axial clearance within the coupling. Insufficient clearance will lead to premature bearing failure. An excess clearance will result in rapid wear of the resilient member of the coupling. The correct axial position is established during the initial alignment when the locations for the mount bolts are determined. When the axial clearance for the coupling is determined, an allowance for the movement of the shaft within the bearing must be accounted for.
Remove all foreign matter from the following locations: the mating surfaces of the generator, the pads of the support bracket for the generator and mounting holes. Be sure that the following mounting surfaces are clean: the coupling, the engine and the generator. Remove all foreign matter from the mating surfaces of the base assembly.
Note: If a new coupling is installed, check the individual components before installation of the generator. If the specifications of the original components are uncertain, check the individual components before installation of the generator. Refer to the ""Specifications" " Section for details.
- The generator drive hub is a shrink fit on the shaft. It will be necessary to heat the hub before installation. The maximum temperature for heating the hub is 370 °C (700 °F). Check for nicks and burrs on the shaft and the key. Remove any nicks and burrs that are found.
Illustration 34 | g00592582 |
- Ensure that the key is correctly located. Slide the heated drive hub onto the shaft. A hollow, soft metal tool can be used if additional force is required to drive the hub into position. Do not use excessive force. The correct position for the shaft is just flush with the face of the hub. The shaft may also be placed at a position that is slightly below the face of the hub. Use wet rags to minimize the heat flow into the bearing.

Realignment Of An Assembled Unit
Use the following procedure to realign the generator, if the measurements are not within the specification that is shown in the ""Analysis Of Measurements For The Auxiliary Generator" " Section. After a correction has been made for a specific misalignment, all measurements must be taken again in order to verify the accuracy of the final alignment.
- Use the following procedure to verify that the load on each support bracket of the generator is the same load.
- Loosen all the vertical alignment bolts. Install the following mounting bolts for the generator: (1), (2), (3) and (4) .
- Tighten the bolts to one-half of the final torque in the following sequence: (1), (2), (3) and (4) .
- Rotate the drive flange until the measuring bore of the dial indicator is at location "A". Zero the indicator.
- Loosen the bolt (1) and tighten the bolt (3) to one-half of the final torque.
- If the indicator needle moves 0.03 mm (0.001 inch), tighten the bolt (1) to one-half of the final torque. Then proceed to Step 1.f. If the indicator needle moves more than 0.03 mm (0.001 inch), add shims under the bolt (1) or the other bolt (3). Loosen all the bolts and repeat Step 1.b through Step 1.e.
- Loosen the bolt (2) and tighten the bolt (4) to one-half of the final torque.
- If the indicator needle moves 0.03 mm (0.001 inch) or less, tighten the bolt (2) to one-half of the final torque. Then proceed to Step 1.h. If the indicator needle moves more than 0.03 mm (0.001 inch), add shims under the bolt (2) or the other bolt (4). Loosen all the bolts and repeat Step 1.b through Step 1.g.
- Tighten all the bolts to the final torque. The indicator needle must not move more than 0.03 mm (0.001 inch).
