AERMOTOR CONSTRUCTION DETAILS
The Aermotor windmill is simple in design, therefore it
has high efficiency and a long life. It requires very little
attention or service beyond changing the oil once a year. Oil is
circulated to all moving parts simply by the turning of the
gears. Oil flowing to the hub is returned through the oil
collector along the wheel shaft by the turning of the wheel.
The improvements in the Model 802 Aermotor have been
developed through years of testing under all kinds of field
conditions. The screw in tension wheel arms make a wheel that
is easy to assemble, rigid in form and perfect in alignment. The
replaceable bearings make it a simple job to rebuild the motor
at a low cost after it has given years of hard service.
This model motor can be used to replace an old open gear
model Aermotor. The wheel sections and the vane will fit onto
the new motor. Both model 702 and model 802 use the same
parts. The main difference is the 702 used Babbitt bearings and
the 802 uses Garlock bearings.
The main frame is a solid casting, precision machined to
keep shafts, gears and bearings in perfect alignment. The frame
has no wear surface to deteriate. Each of the three bearings slip
into place easily. Repeated tests show that these replaceable
Garlock bearings, flooded with oil, run lightly, are long lasting,
stand abuse and are the most practical bearings that can be
used in a windmill.
The frictionless guide wheel in the sturdy guide loop keeps
the pump rod in perfect alignment through the supporting mast
pipe. Every part is accessible by just slipping off the galvanized
cover that protects the gears.
Shown below is the wheel hub and shaft, which balances the
center of the wheel directly over the supporting arm of the main
frame. There is no overhang on the wheel shaft.
Round wheel arms are screwed into the hub and the wheel
sections are secured with only 6 bolts, forming a rigid wheel of
great power and with maximum strength.
The double large gears and pinions carry the load in perfect
balance between them. Two accurately machined pitmen bosses
are integral parts of each gear, allowing two lengths of stroke
on each mill. The stroke is easily changed by moving the
pitman arms to the other boss position and changing the hole at
the guide wheel shaft. The large gear assembly with shaft and
bearing is removable. The double pitman arms have Garlock
bearings in the lower ends that ride on the bosses of the large
gears.
