43.12mm Outer Diameter Alignment Plug Caterpillar 4644893

An Alignment Plug is used during pump maintenance to properly align the components of a hydraulic pump during the measurement process. It holds the port plate, barrel, and slipper retaining plate in the correct relative positions, ensuring an accurate assessment of shim thickness required for proper barrel liftoff. This alignment is necessary for achieving optimal pump performance and longevity.Attributes:• Prevents misalignment during measurement.• Reduces errors in determining shim thickness.• Facilitates accurate barrel liftoff adjustment.Applications:An Alignment Plug is used in hydraulic pump assemblies, during the maintenance or calibration of the barrel liftoff mechanism, enabling technicians to accurately measure and adjust shim thickness, ensuring optimal clearance and performance within the pump system.
