Replace Eccentric Bearings
If concentric bearings are to be replaced on this vehicle, perform that procedure first (see
Replace Concentric Bearings). Figure 7-46 shows a dual array vehicle, however the same pro-
cess is used for single array vehicles.

1. Stop all motion on the path where the vehicle is located.
2. Remove the vehicle from the precision rail (see Replace Precision Rail Vehicles on
page 428).
3. Place the vehicle on a non-metallic work surface with the magnet array down. Keep
the magnet array at least three feet away from metal objects and tools.
4. Hold the bearing nut underneath the carriage in place with a 13 mm thin open ended
wrench. Unscrew and remove the nut and washer for the eccentric bearing being
removed (on the top of the carriage) and store them for reuse.
5. Remove the eccentric bearing from the bottom of carriage and discard appropriately.
