Campbell 2536-6 nibbling machine rebuild Part 3
The business end of the main shaft is two pieces, with the shaft end counter-bored to receive the eccentric insert, which is adjustable.
P1010397 copy.jpg The eccentric can be advanced for a longer stroke or retarded for a shorter stroke. These 3 strokes, combined with the two sheave speeds and the collet height adjustment, allows for metals from .025 to .250 to be nibbled smoothly. P1030728 copy.jpg The plunger bearing is bronze with a lengthwise split at 10:00, and is pinned in place. Another (bronze) pin with flats on one end keeps the plunger aligned while it reciprocates. P1010398 copy.jpg P1010402 copy.jpg P1010408 copy.jpg Shims allow for compression on the bearing. P1010409 copy.jpg The hollow cap screw retains the plunger alignment pin. P1010411 copy.jpg The fork engages the collet end, while the threads raise and lower the collet. Up on top, the hand knob raises and lowers the collet in increments determined by the detents - IF the spring is awake and ready. Some penetrant awakened the spring, which took the dentent cap with it. Both were located nearby. P1010405 copy.jpg Detent cap up proud with a new spring and lube in the spring bore.
