Flange Bearing, Outer Shaft, and Splined Shaft Installation
FLANGE BEARING, OUTER SHAFT, AND SPLINED SHAFT INSTALLATION
Use the following instructions to install the flange bearing, splined shaft, and outer
shaft on both the moveable and stationary dynos.
You will need the following parts:
• 32300001Flange Bearing with Lock Collar (2)
• 36500016Screw, 1/4-20 x 1.75", SHCS, Drilled (4)
• 36711100Nut, 9/16-12, Hex (8)
• 36943101Washer, 9/16", Flat (8)
• 61300030Drive Pulley Shaft (Outer Shaft) (2)
• 62200006Splined Shaft (2)
1Place the flange bearing on the threaded studs on the inner plate.
2Loosely secure the flange bearing to the inner plate using four 9/16-inch washers
and four 9/16-inch nuts.
3Slide the outer shaft into the bearing.

4The distance from the face of the bearing mounting plate to the end of the outer
shaft should be approximately 16.125-inches.
5Apply a small amount of grease to the first two inches of the splined shaft.
6Slide the splined shaft through the outer shaft and into the splines in the dyno
drum.
7Align the two unthreaded holes in the splined shaft flange with the two threaded
holes in the outer shaft.
8Insert two 1/4-20 x 1.75-inch cap screws and tighten them just enough so the
tapered pins are engaged with the tapered holes.
Note: A gap will remain between the splined shaft flange and outer shaft.
9While applying just enough upward pressure to support the shaft, tighten the
four 9/16-inch nuts.
10 Remove the two 1/4-20 x 1.75-inch cap screws.
11 Once the four 9/16-inch nuts are tight, it should be very easy to slide the splined
shaft in and out of the dyno splines.
12 Replace the 1/4-20 x 1.75-inch cap screws.
13 Confirm the outer shaft is 16 1/8-inches from the mounting plate.
14 Using the installation instructions included with the bearing, secure the lock
collar.

Figure 10: Measure the Outer Shaft and Test Install the Splined Shaft
Use the following instructions to install the drive pulleys for both the moveable and
stationary dynos.
You will need the following parts:
• 32300002Bushing (2)
includes three bolts and lock washers each
• 32300003Grooved Pulley (2)
1Place the bushing into the grooved pulley.

4The outer face of the pulley should be approximately 10-13/16 inches from the
face of the inner plate. Slowly tighten the bolts until the hub starts to pull into the
pulley, checking that it is approximately 10-13/16 inches from the inner plate
before the pulley is locked on the shaft.
5Tighten the bolts by working around the bushing until none of the bolts will turn
at a torque wrench setting of 75 ft.-lb. The pulley should have moved out to
approximately 11 inches from the face of the inner plate.
Note: The measurement of 11 inches is not critical; however, this measurement
should be the same on both the moveable and stationary dynos.

1Place the flange bearing on the threaded studs on the inner plate.
2Secure the flange bearing to the inner plate using four 9/16-inch flat washers and
four 9/16-inch nuts.
3Holding the idler assembly horizontal, slide the assembly into the bearing until its
outer edge is approximately 11-1/8-inches from the face of the inner plate.
4Using the installation instructions included with the bearing, secure the lock
collar.
Note: Refer to the installation instructions included with the bearing.
Carefully allow the idler pulley assembly to hang in the bearing.

Use the following instructions along with Figure 15 on page 19.
1Route the belt around the pulleys as shown in Figure 15 on page 19.
2Place the belt around the tensioner pulley and place the tensioner assembly in the
position shown.
Note: Verify the welded on nuts on the tensioner assembly are towards the back
and the tensioner pulley is slid all the way to the end of the assembly towards the
stationary dyno.
3Verify the bearings are the same distance from each mounting angle.
4Slide the tensioner assembly on the floor as far back as possible, taking some slack
out of the belt.
Note: Do not tension the belt at this point.
5Using a long straight edge, verify the tensioner pulley and the movable dyno
pulley are aligned.
6With the tensioner assembly in this position, drill the eight holes needed to
secure the tensioner assembly to the floor.
7Install eight Red Head anchors. Refer to Appendix A for installation instructions.
8Secure the tensioner assembly to the floor using eight 3/8-16 x 1-inch bolts and
eight 3/8-inch flat washers.
Note: If a Red Head is drilled too deep, use one of the four 3/8 x 1.25-inch bolts
included. Two extra Red Heads are also included.
9Apply some grease to the two ACME threads.

Use the following instructions along with Figure 28 on page 32.
1Verify the drum brakes are released.
424 LINX INSTALLATION
Tension the Belt
The dyno wheel base should only be adjusted with the brakes released or the
Linx belt drive system disengaged.
2Set the dyno to a wheelbase adjustment of 101-inches.
3Measure 50.5-inches from the center of one of the drums. Mark this point on the
bridge tube closest to the belt.
4Loosen the ACME lock nuts on the tensioner.
Note: Before tensioning the belt, the brakes must be released and the drums free
to turn.
5Turn the ACME screws on the tensioner to tension the belt. Alternate sides to
keep the pulley aligned with the belt.
6Once the belt has some tension, place the tension arm centered on the mark.
Verify the angle is completely seated on the underside of the tube.
7Place two weights on the tension arm with the outer weight flush with the end of
the arm. If the weights want to slip off of the bar, tension the belt more before
putting the weights on.
Note: Use the weights included in the Eddy Current Brake calibration set.
8With the weights placed on the bar, tension the belt until the tension bar is
horizontal.
9Place a straight edge on the side of the tensioner pulley so it runs parallel to the
belt. Verify the distance between the straight edge and the edge of the belt is even.
Adjust this distance by turning one of the ACME screws if necessary.
10 Tighten the lock nuts.
11 Remove the weights and the tension arm.
12 Recheck the belt tension after the first several dyno runs and occasionally after
that.

The Linx belt can be disengaged by pulling the splined shafts out of the dyno splines.
1Loosen the three finger screws and lower the access panel.
For in ground dynos, remove the six 1/4-20 x 5/8-inch torx screws securing each
access cover and set aside. Remove each access cover and set aside.
2Remove the two 1/4-20 x 1.75-inch cap screws and two 1/4-inch lock washers from
each shaft.
3Thread the 1/4-20 x 1.25-inch cap screws into the threaded holes on the splined
shaft flange.
4Tighten the cap screws until the tapered pins disengage from the tapered holes.
5At each drum, pull the splined shaft out at least four inches.
Always disengage the belt drive at BOTH dynos.

1Remove the 1/4-20 x 1.25-inch cap screws from the threaded holes in the splined
shaft.
2Slide the shaft into the dyno drum aligning the two unthreaded holes in the
splined shaft flange with the two threaded holes in the outer shaft.
3Install the 1/4-20 x 1.75-inch cap screws and 1/4-inch lock washers and torque to
7 ft.-lb. (9.5Nm).
4Secure the cap screws with the shaft safety wire. Refer to Appendix C for
installation instructions.
Failure to secure the cap screws with safety wire can result in damage to the
