The installation of Eagle Pd belts and sprockets will not be difficult for those familiar with other linear motion/conveyor belt products and QD bushings. The following instructions are written so that those less familiar with these products can easily install an Eagle Pd Acculinear drive. Drive size and location may mandate different assembly methods than the one outlined here.

When working on power equipment, follow all safety policies and requirements of federal, state and local authorities, as well as the regulation of the employer. Always lock out the power source to the machinery before performing any work.

Step 1: Preparation
OBJECTIVE: Verify that all necessary tools and parts are available and ready for installation.

1.	Eagle Pd Acculinear belts and sprockets from Goodyear are identified with a unique Alphabet Code System. The eight letters used for identification are: "Y", "M", "W", "L", "B", "G", "O", and "R". Each letter represents a different size so that "B" belts are made to operate with "B" sprockets. Make sure that the same letter belt and sprockets have been obtained.
2.	The following tools are recommended for proper belt and sprocket installation. A straightedge A tape measure Socket and open end wrenches A file and sand paper A torque wrench A clean cloth A belt tension gauge Deflection force values for tensioning the belt
3.	Make sure that the components are ready for installation. Clean all shafts, removing any nicks or burrs. Clean all mating surfaces of the sprocket, bushing, and shaft. No lubrication or anti-seize should be used on any of these surfaces, including threaded holes. Use of lubrication can create higher hoop stress which can cause sprockets to crack or burst.
4.	Make sure that the shafts are true and parallel by accurately measuring the distance between the shafts at three points along the shaft. The distance between the shafts should be the same at all three points as shown in the adjacent figure. Also make sure that the shafts are rigidly mounted. Shafts should not deflect when the belt is tensioned.

Step 2: Sprocket and Bushing Installation
OBJECTIVE: Align the Eagle Pd sprockets and secure them to the shafts.

1.	Goodyear recommends that the bushing flange be installed facing outward in order to minimize bearing load and increase bearing life.
2.	Insert bushing into the sprocket, aligning the drilled holes in the bushing flange with the tapped holes in the sprocket hub.
3.	Insert capscrews through the drilled holes and into the tapped holes.
4.	Insert the key into the keyseat of the shaft.
5.	With capscrews to the outside, place the Eagle Pd sprocket and bushing assembly on the shaft, positioning the assembly as close as possible to the motor bearing.
6.	Repeat the procedure for the other Eagle Pd sprocket.
7.	Ensure that the teeth of both sprockets are pointing in the same direction.
8.	Snug the capscrews so that the sprocket/bushing assembly can still move on the shaft.
9.	Align the sprockets using a straight edge. Check for contact in 4 places as shown in the attached figure. Do not use bearings or drive shafts as reference points for sprocket alignment.
10.	Using a torque wrench, progressively and uniformly, tighten the capscrews to the final torque values listed below. If a gap of 1/8" to 1/4" is not there between the bushing flange and the sprocket hub, then disassemble the parts and determine the reason for the faulty assembly.
11.	The sprocket will draw onto the bushing during tightening. Always recheck alignment after tightening the capscrews. If alignment has changed return to step 8.
12.	Tighten the setscrews over the keyway to the torque values listed in the attached table.
13.	If the sprockets are straight bore use the above alignment procedure and then tighten the setscrews to the correct torque for the setscrew size listed in the Torque Specifications table.
	Note: QD bushings can be installed with the capscrews on either side, excluding M and N sizes. Drives with opposing shafts require one of the sprockets be mounted with the capscrews on the flange side and one with the capscrews on the hub side.

Step 3: Belt Installation
OBJECTIVE: The Eagle Pd Acculinear belt must be installed and tensioned properly to ensure optimum performance. Sprocket alignment must be preserved while tensioning the drive.

Before beginning, inspect the belt for damage and verify that the sprockets are properly mounted with the teeth pointing in the same direction. Belts should never be crimped or bent to a diameter less than the minimum sprocket diameter (approximately 2 inches for 8mm pitch belts and 5.5 inches for 14mm pitch belts).
