Roll Gap Adjustment parts diagram. Numbers match the table below; each box is one top-level part or assembly with what it contains.
#PartQtyWhat it does
1 Engagement Lever 1× Hand or pneumatic lever that swings the slow roll into and out of contact with the fast roll.
2 Micro-Adjust Handwheel 3 parts 1× Fine handwheel that trims the gap in steps of a few microns per division.
3 Eccentric Shaft 1× Offset shaft that swings the slow-roll bearing blocks to engage or disengage the nip.
4 Pneumatic Engage Cylinder 4 parts 1× Air cylinder that engages the rolls when grain is present and parts them when feed stops.
5 Gap Adjust Screw 2× Coarse screw that sets the slow-roll stop position before fine adjustment.
6 Coil Spring 2× Helical spring of round steel wire that stores energy in compression or extension, used for suspension, return force, and preload.
