A system for final balancing of first machined cast metal brake drums using a conventional static balancer with an electronic ounce/inch imbalance recorder and a conventional lathe with adjustable chuck and cutting tool controlled by computer developed analogs for a recorded ounce/inch imbalance.

System for final balancing of cast metal brake drums

A gauging assembly adapted for use in positioning stock material with respect to fixed equipment. The assembly includes an elongated retainer having a predetermined arrangement of stop positions thereon. An elongated holder is provided for slidable coupling with the retainer and permitting reciprocal relative longitudinal movement therebetween. At least one stop block is provided and has a plurality of material engaging faces. The block is rotatable to expose each face in sequence for engagement with stock material. A connector is used for removably positioning the stop block at a desired stop position to prevent rotation of the stop block and permitting displacement and rotation of the stop block and shifting of the block to the other stop positions. Indicia indicates the relative horizontal position of the retainer with respect to the holder, the stop block with respect to the retainer and the exposed face of the stop block. A fastener removably couples the holder and retainer in a plurality of longitudinal positions. The assembly is adapted to be mounted to the fixed equipment so that shifting of the stop block between stop positions, relative sliding movement of the retainer with respect to the holder and rotation of the gauge block provides a variety of longitudinal adjustments for the positioning of the material engaging face of the stop block and accordingly determining the position of the stock material with respect to the fixed equipment.

Gauging assembly

A pressurized lubricant charging and leak detection apparatus and method to fill the lubricant reservoir of a wheel hub with lubricant and detect lubricant leaks therefrom. The apparatus includes a tubular filling probe which may be inserted into the hub which is connected through valving to a pressurized lubricant supply to fill the reservoir with lubricant and there with a pressurized air supply to charge air into the reservoir until a constant air pressure is established in the reservoir; whereafter, a drop in air pressure within the reservoir indicates lubricant leak from the hub.
