    The document provides instructions for properly installing alternators and drive couplings on Teledyne Continental aircraft engines. Key points include: - The drive couplings for gear-driven alternators are wound opposite of those for direct-drive engines and different part numbers are used. - Shipping spacers and washers must be removed from alternator shafts before installation to prevent interference and damage. - Drive couplings must be installed correctly with washers in the proper orientation. - Alternators must be fitted carefully to avoid binding or forcing components, which could damage the alternator or gears.

    SUBJECT: ALTERNATOR AND DRIVE COUPLING INSTALLATION


    MODELS
    AFFECTED: IO/TSIO520, IO550, AND GTSIO520 Engines With Gear Driven
    Alternators
    The gear driven alternators, which are not manufactured by TCM, used on subject engines are
    equipped with a drive coupling which has a spring assembly to help absorb torsional vibrations.
    This spring is wound in the opposite direction for the geared engines as compared to the direct
    drive engine. Coupling P/N 640933 is used on the geared engine and P/N 640934 is used on
    direct drive engines. Elastomer coupling P/N 646655 can be used as an option for 640933 or
    640934.
    The gear driven TCM alternators P/N 642056 and 642055, and subsequent part numbers used
    on some of the affected engine models are equipped with a bi-directional drive coupling P/N
    646655 which has an elastomer section to help absorb torsional vibrations and provide a
    "shear" section. The proper installation of the coupling is important and special attention should
    be given to the following items.
    Remove shipping spacer and washer from the alternator shaft and discard, if installed on TCM
    alternator. Follow vendor's instructions on alternators other than TCM.

    WARNING...Installation of the drive coupling assembly on TCM alternators with the


    shipping washer in place will cause interference with the face gear on the crankshaft and
    will result in damage to the engine and alternator.
    Install Woodruff key, coupling assembly and washer. The washer is a special thrust washer
    and must be installed with the bearing surface (copper color) toward the alternator. Install nut
    and tighten to 300 in. lbs. torque. If slots of nut do not align with the cotter pin hold in alternator
    shaft, the nut may be tightened further but not to exceed 450 in. lbs.
    Do not back off nut to align holes. Install cotter pin as shown to insure clearance when
    alternator is installed in engine.
    The elastomer coupling can be reused if a torque slippage check is completed. The torque
    required to slip the coupling elastomer when new must be 180 in. lbs. min. measured after 45
    degrees of revolution at a rate of 1 to 2 degrees per second. Slippage must occur at O.D. of
    elastomer with no apparent damage to the elastomer for coupling in service more than 25 hours
    the slippage torque must not drop below 140 lbs.

    Insure that the alternator slips into the crankcase without binding and that the mounting flange is
    properly seated against the crankcase. Do not force the alternator into position as damage to
    the alternator and drive gears could result.
    If there is stud interference with the mounting lug holes while mounting the subject alternators,
    do not force the alternator over the studs. Doing so could precipitate mount lug failure due to
    the resulting pre-load. If interference exists, it is permissible to enlarge the mount lug stud holes
    by drilling or reaming (as necessary) up to a maximum diameter of .387. Standard hole size is
    .337-.347.
    Care must be taken during installation to assure that the alternator pilot enters the crankcase
    pilot bore squarely. Forcing entry with the attaching nuts may pre-stress the lugs to cause
    cracking and failure.
    Install alternator gasket and alternator onto the engine. With the alternator pilot properly
    engaged in the pilot bore, run the attaching nuts up to the lug contact surfaces evenly and snug.
    Torque the nuts to 150-180 in. lbs. in diagonally opposite pairs.
