Wheel set screw spring

Wheel set screw spring 

for OURAGAN PLO sander

The wheel set screw spring is an essential small mechanical part that plays a crucial role in the sander's wheel height adjustment mechanism. This part is located near the wheel set screw.

The role of the adjusting screw spring is to provide tension or return force to the wheel set screw. As the user turns the adjusting screw to adjust the height of the wheels, the spring compresses or relaxes to hold the screw in place at the desired height. The spring ensures constant pressure on the screw, preventing it from accidentally loosening or moving during sanding.

In addition, the spring also helps to maintain the stability of the adjustment mechanism, ensuring that the wheels remain correctly positioned and do not exhibit excessive play during sanding. This is crucial for accurate and uniform sanding on different material thicknesses and surfaces.

When should I consider changing the wheel set screw spring?

1. Loss of tension: if the spring loses its tension or return force, the wheel set adjustment screw may become loose or move during use of the sander. If you notice that the screw becomes unstable or does not stay in place at the set height, this may be due to a loss of spring tension. In this case, it is necessary to change the spring to maintain stable and precise wheel adjustment.

2. Damage: shocks, impacts or improper use can damage the set screw spring, compromising its functionality and effectiveness in the wheel height adjustment mechanism.

In conclusion, the wheel set screw spring is an important mechanical part that ensures constant tension on the set screw, holding the wheels in place at the desired height. If you notice any signs of loss of tension or damage to the spring, we recommend that you replace it. Make sure you choose a replacement spring guaranteed by Repex Floor. Regular replacement of the adjusting screw spring will help maintain optimum performance of the belt sander and ensure accurate and stable wheel adjustment during sanding.
