These AMMCO brake lathe adapter sets are for use
with applications that include cast hubless rotors,
composite rotors, drums and flywheels. The flange
plates included in the sets simulate actual vehicle
mounting. These sets are for use on any brake lathe
with a 1 inch arbor.
Before You Begin
It is important in any machining operation that all
adapters and mounting hardware, as well as the
rotor, drum or flywheel to be machined, are clean
and free of nicks.
Typical Adapter Usage for Rotors
Figure 1 illustrates the typical adapter usage.
1. Determine which flange plate is most
appropriate for the current application and place
it on the arbor.
IMPORTANT: The flange plate must contact the
flat portion of the rotor hat, but must not contact
the rotor anywhere around the outside radius.
Always use the largest flange plate possible.
2. Place the spring onto the arbor and into the
flange plate. Twist it counterclockwise to hold it
in place.
3. Select the cone that best fits the rotor center
hole and slide it onto the arbor wide end first.
4. Slide the rotor onto the arbor, locating the center
hole over the cone. Push rotor and cone back
against spring and flange plate.
5. Slide the largest remaining flange plate (that fits
rotor as specified in step 1) onto the arbor.
6. Fill out the arbor with spacers as required to
secure entire rotor assembly to the arbor.
NOTE: On AMMCO lathes, the last item placed
on the arbor before the arbor nut must be the
self-aligning spacer.
7. Tighten the arbor nut by either rotating the rotor
while holding the arbor nut until they lock up, or
by using a wrench to turn the nut until the rotor
begins to turn and then continuing to advance
the wrench Z\zn of a turn. Do not overtighten.
Odd Configured Cast Hubless Rotor Mounting
Figure 2 illustrates these mounting procedures.
1. Determine which flange plate is most
appropriate for the current application and place
it on the arbor.
IMPORTANT: The flange plate must contact the
flat portion of the rotor hat, but must not contact
the rotor anywhere around the outside radius.
Always use the largest flange plate possible.
2. Place rotor onto arbor. Note that some rotors
may need to be mounted backwards so that the
rotor’s machined surface contacts the first
flange plate.
3. Slide the 29573 reversible centering cone onto
arbor and into the rotor center hole with the
cone taper facing the rotor.
