Electromagnetic Clutch
Disassembly Procedure.
Before working on the Electromagnetic Clutch, the Clutch must first be removed from the
Vacuum Pump. To remove the Clutch from the Vacuum Pump –

Removing Electromagnetic Clutch from Vacuum Pump.

#1. Refer figure 1 below; remove Circlip (8) and Pulley (7) from Clutch making sure to
retain Key (6).
#2. Remove bolt (10) and Washer (9) and replace with Clutch removal tool as outlined
in drawing MVP57-CT01.
#3. Before removing Clutch, loosen Clutch Bracket Bolts (4) to ensure Clutch doesn’t
fowl on the Bracket as it’s being removed.
#4. After Clutch has been removed ensure that Vacuum Pump Key (2) is retained.

Before disassembling the Electromagnetic Clutch it must be determined whether it is

viable or cost effective to service the Clutch or not. Following is a Check List that should
help determine whether a Clutch should be serviced or replaced.

CLUTCH CHECK LIST

#1. Using an ohmmeter set on RX10 check the resistance of the Coil Carrier.
For a 12 Volt Coil the resistance should be between 0.6 – 0.8 Ω.
For a 24 Volt Coil the resistance should be between 1.3 – 1.5 Ω.
If the resistance of the Coil is not sufficient the Coil Carrier will need to be replaced.
#2. Check the Clutch Housings for signs of wear, especially around the keyways and
bearing areas. If either Housing shows sign of excessive wear it would be better to
replace the whole Clutch assembly.
#3. With a 0.3mm Feeler Gauge check the tolerance between the Rotor and the
Transmission Flange. If the tolerance is greater than 0.3mm check the
Transmission
Flange for signs of wear, if the tolerance is less then 0.3mm it maybe because of
worn or insufficient Shims. Both the Shims and Transmission Flange can be
replaced. However if the wear is on the face of the Rotor, the whole Clutch
assembly should be replaced.
#4. Clutch Bearings should also be checked. These Bearings are sealed Bearings and
come complete with Shims as part of the Shim Kit. Both the Shims and Bearings are
generally replaced when servicing a Clutch.
#5. The Pulley and Keys should also be checked for signs of wear.
If wear is excessive, then these items should be replaced.

When assembling and disassembling an Electromagnetic Clutch it is important that any

force applied to the Clutch is only applied to the faces outlined in figure 2 below.
This is achieved by using Shaft Clamps and Press Tools outlined in the following
procedures.

Electromagnetic Clutch – Disassembly

STEP #1 – Fix Shaft Clamp as shown in drawing MVP57-CT02
to the Coil Carrier making sure that the cut out section of the
clamp is positioned over the coil wires, so not to damage them.
Remove inner circlip and any shims, making note of number and
size of shims to take out the guesswork when re-assembling.
Using the press tool shown in drawing MVP57-CT04 press off
the Coil Carrier.

STEP #2 – Remove outer circlip, turn the Coil Carrier over and
with the press tool shown in drawing MVP57-CT05 press out the
bearing.

Check Bearing and bearing housing area for signs of wear.

If bearing area is worn, the Coil Carrier will need to be replaced.

STEP #3 – Fix Shaft Clamp as shown in drawing MVP57-CT03

to the Mounting Flange. Remove inner circlip and any shims,
making note of number and size of shims to take out the
guesswork when re-assembling.
Using the press tool shown in drawing MVP57-CT04 press off
the Mounting Flange.

STEP #4 – Remove shims, making note of number and size of

shims to take out the guesswork when re-assembling.
Check Rotor for signs of wear especially around the face that
opposes the Transmission Flange.

If the Rotor or Rotor Drive Face shows signs of excessive wear,

the whole Clutch assembly should be replaced.

STEP #5 – Remove outer circlip, turn the Mounting Flange over

and with the press tool shown in drawing MVP57-CT05 press
out the bearings.
Check for any shims between bearings, note number and size of
shims to take out the guesswork when re-assembling.

Check Transmission Flange for signs of wear, if worn the

Transmission Flange should be replaced.
However if the Mounting Flange shows signs of excessive wear
the whole Clutch assembly should be replaced.

After the Electromagnetic Clutch has been disassembled, assess what parts need to be
replaced, clean all components and then re-assemble the Clutch following the steps
outlined in the assembly procedure.

Electromagnetic Clutch – Assembly

STEP #1 – With the press tool shown in drawing MVP57-CT06
press the bearing into the Coil Carrier. Insert outer circlip to
prevent the bearing from moving.

If this is a rebuild, the old bearing should be replaced.

STEP #2 – Using the same press tool as the one used to press
the bearing into the Coil Carrier, press the Coil Carrier onto the
Rotor and then insert inner circlip. The circlip should be hard up
against the bearing. If the circlip is not hard up against the
bearing, shims may need to be added between the bearing and
the circlip.

Note the top of the Rotor should protrude no more then 0.5mm
past the Coil Carrier.

STEP #3 – If the Transmission Flange is to be replaced, using

Loctite and the cap screws provided, fix the new Transmission
Flange to the Mount Flange.

Note the Transmission Flange will only need to be replaced if it is

worn or damaged, it is not generally replaced when servicing a
Clutch.

STEP #4 – With the press tool shown in drawing MVP57-CT06

individually press both bearings into the Mounting Flange, making
sure to replace the shims between the bearings, then insert the
outer circlip. The circlip should be hard up against the bearing.
If the circlip is not hard up against the bearing, extra shims may
need to be added between the bearing and the circlip.

If this is a rebuild, the old bearings and shims should be replaced.

STEP #5 – Replace the shims on the Rotor, then with the same
press tool used to press the bearings into the Mounting Flange,
press the Mounting Flange onto the Rotor.
TOLERANCE

With a 0.3mm Feeler Gauge check the tolerance between the

Transmission Flange and the Rotor. If the tolerance is greater
then 0.3mm remove some of the Rotor Shims. If the tolerance is
smaller then 0.3mm more Rotor Shims will need to be added.

STEP #6 – When the 0.3mm tolerance between the

Transmission Flange and the Rotor has been achieved, insert the
inner circlip. The circlip should be hard up against the bearing. If
the circlip is not hard up against the bearing, shims may need to
be added between the bearing and the circlip.
