Inspection and Repair
Repair or replace necessary parts if extreme wear or
damage is found during inspection.
Armature
Measure the outer diameter of commutator, and replace
with a new one if it is out of the limit.
Standard: 30 mm (1.1811 in)
Limit: 29 mm (1.1417 in)
065RS014Check for continuity between segment and segment on
the commutator. Replace commutator if there is no
continuity (i.e., disconnected).
065RS015
Check for continuity between commutator and shaft.
Also, check for continuity between commutator and
armature core, armature core and shaft. Replace
commutator if there is continuity (i.e., internally
grounded).
065RS016Measure runout of the commutator with a dial gauge.
Repair or replace, if it exceeds the limit.
Limit: 0.4 mm (0.0157 in)
