How do you remove a Briggs and Stratton generator?
To separate the engine from the generator head you need to remove the bolts that secure the engine to the frame of the generator. On the very end of the generator opposite the engine there will be a cover that you can remove. Remove that cover and you will find a bolt in the center of the generator rotor.
Can you rebuild a generator?
A rebuilt engine can extend the life of your generator and is less expensive than a full replacement of the unit. If you are reliant on generator power and need an emergency backup generator, we can help you with a generator rental while we repair your engine.
What’s the best way to remove a generator rotor?
We devised a skid method of putting curved plates between the rotor and the stator bore, to minimise the use of a crane when pulling out the rotor. Find an expert company and talk to them. Whinge away!
What kind of platform do I need for rotor removal?
It depends on your rotor removal kit, generator and of course generator mounting. Here you can see the rotor being pulled out of a 2500hp 1800 rpm horizontal motor. The platform is built from normal scaffold poles and wood. Some wood cribbing used to keep the rotor from rolling.
Can you lift a generator rotor with a crane?
If your crane access to the generator rotor in the package enclosure is limited, you will have to rail via the use of a platform the rotor to a point where you can lift it with a crane. That would only be necessary if you intended to do some more work on the rotor like remove the end caps, rewind, do bearing journal work, etc.
What do you call a rotor removal Crane?
In some parts of the world there are contractors who specialize in this type of work, (and especially Brush) and have standard rail designs for rotor removal. Brush has some technical information showing different types of rotor removal (crane and rail) which might be helpful. It is available to the public and is called a TDI, if my memory serves.
How do you remove a rotor from a generator?
Using the 2 1/2 bolt, wrap the Teflon tape on the threads of the bolt and put the generator in an uphill position. Fill the rotor bolt cavity with standard motor oil, do not exceed 40 weight. Insert the 2 1/2 bolt with Teflon covered threads into the cavity and tighten with an air-impact wrench.
Is it better to remove the rotor or the engine?
Rotor or Engine only Removal: When removing the rotor only, it is usually much faster to remove the engine from the generator chassis. When doing the removal by this method, you can leave all the wires intact on the generator’s stator attached to the terminal block underneath the yellow end cover of the unit.
How do you remove a stator from a generator?
Remove the four long 6 mm bolts alongside the outside of the stator (field winding assembly). There will allow remove of the stator after the end cover is removed. Carefully support the engine assembly with a block (s) of wood for stability and alignment after lighting the generator assembly and removing the motor mount isolator.
How do you remove rotor from champion puller?
Fill the rotor bolt cavity with standard motor oil, do not exceed 40 weight. Insert the 2 1/2 bolt with Teflon covered threads into the cavity and tighten with an air-impact wrench. As the bolt is tightened into the hole, the rotor will hydraulically separate from the engine and will cause no damage to any parts.
