How to Maintain Perkins Generator Set by Wrenches?

Do you know how to maintain Perkins generator set by wrenches? There are four kinds of wrenches in common use: open wrench, ring wrench, adjustable wrench and socket wrench.

 

1.Open wrench.

 

Open wrenches are often used on bolts with narrow mechanical range of motion. Because its handle and head keep a certain angle (15 ° ~ 45 °), which increasing the distance of machining activity. Therefore, the turning speed can be increased, and the contact with the nut is also convenient. It can be sleeved up and down or inserted directly.

 

The commonly used open wrench is double end open. Its specification is indicated by the opening of the head. Wrench with different opening width is used for turning hexagon nuts or bolts of different specifications. The specifications of commonly used open-end wrenches (mm × mm) are 6 x 7, 8 x 10, 9 x 11, 10 x 12, 11 x 13, 12 x 14, 13 x 15, 14 x 17, 17 x 19, 19 x 22, 22 x 24, 24 x 27, 27 x 30 and 30 x 32, etc.



2.Double offset ring wrench.

 

Double offset ring wrench is characterized by a large change angle, which is used for disassembling some screws with a small rotation angle at one time. The handle part of the wrench is longer, and the wrench is more convenient. Its specification is the same as the open wrench, and it is also divided according to the opening of the head. The common specifications are the same as those of the open wrench.

 

The advantages of open wrench and ring wrench are reliable use and can bear large torque. Its disadvantage is that a wrench can only be used on two specifications of nuts or bolts, and its versatility is poor.

 

3.Adjustable wrench.

 

The adjustable wrench is composed of a moving plate lip, a plate mouth, a fixed plate lip, a worm gear, a handle and a shaft pin. Adjustable wrench is the most widely used spanner. When it is used, its opening can be adjusted according to the size of nut. It does not need to change spanner frequently, so it has strong adaptability. When encountering irregular nut, it can play a more important role.

 

Its specifications are divided according to its full length. The commonly used specifications (mm) are 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 375, 400 and 600, etc., and its largest opening width is 14mm, 19mm, 24mm, 30mm, 36mm, 46mm, 55mm and 65mm, etc. Mechanical repairmen usually use adjustable spanners below 300 mm.

 

When using the adjustable wrench, use the worm gear 4 to adjust the size of the spanner opening, so that the spanner can tightly clamp the nut, not too loose, otherwise the outer edge of the nut will be damaged. When screwing the larger nut, hold it close to the end of handle. When tightening the smaller nut, hold the handle. Because the required torque is not big, the hand is reliable, and the worm gear can be adjusted at any time, so that the pull lip shrinks to prevent slipping.

 

Adjustable wrench can not be used by reversed way. That is to say, the pull lip shall not be used as the force bearing surface, the steel pipe extension handle shall not be used to exert a larger torque, or the adjustable wrench shall not be used as a hammer. In addition, hold the spanner correctly, and make sure that the arm is at a right angle to the wrench body (this angle is the effective angle for turning the spanner).

 

4.Socket wrench.

 

Socket wrenches are also commonly used in screws with narrow mechanical range or special concealment, and can be adjusted freely. The utility model is composed of a variety of sockets of different sizes and a spanner handle (movable spanner handle, joint, universal joint head, ratchet handle, torque wrench, etc.) suitable for assembling and disassembling screws at different parts.

 

Socket wrench is usually installed in a special iron box, each part has its own fixed position, easy to use. Among them, the torque wrench is an indispensable tool in the generator repair work.

 

Hope the article is helpful to you. More details can be read on the Perkins diesel generator maintenance manual.

What Is the Difference Between Electric Motor and Electric Generator

An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and winding currents to generate force. In certain applications, such as in regenerative braking with traction motors, electric motors can be used in reverse as generators to recover energy that might otherwise be lost as heat and friction. An electric generator operates in the reverse direction, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. Electric generator can be divided into various type, open type, silent type, trailer type, portable type and container type, etc. Electric generator is mainly composed of diesel engine & alternator. Electric generator set is mainly composed of engine, alternator, control module, and common base. Electric generator :- Electric generator is a type of machine which converts mechanical input (energy) into electrical output (...

Engine Fault Code Messages - Volvo Penta Engine

Volvo Penta Engine Fault Code When a malfunction has occurred and the diagnostic system has generated one or more fault codes, these are read out differently depending on the equipment used. Please refer to “Fault code messages”. If the system indicates that a fault code has been set: 1 Cut engine speed to idle, or shut the Volvo engine off. 2 For DCU/DU Read the fault code from the display, please refer to Reading fault codes via the DCU or Reading fault codes via the DU. For CIU press the diagnostic button and read the fault code, by observing the flashing of the diagnostic lamp. Refer to Reading fault codes via the diagnostic lamp, CIU. 3 Look up the fault code in the Fault Code Register chapter and take the recommended measures. Reading fault codes via the DU (Display Unit) Depending on the severity of the fault the text, either WARNING! or ALARM STOP (a buzzer sounds) will be shown on the display 1 Press any button to come to the fault list.
