Replacing auto-gauge springs

The auto-gauge springs ensure that the main rollers apply suitable pressure for the steel thickness that can be used with the machine.

FRAMECAD® recommends organizations replace the auto-gauge springs every year or every 160,000 meters (≈545,000 feet) steel, whichever comes first, or when damage is suspected.

TIP! There is one auto-gauge spring on each side of each rollergang station for a total of 16 springs (C300, F325iT) or 22 springs (F450iT). Change all springs at once.

Note – tools required: 8mm hex key, replacement springs

For each spring: 

1. Use the 8mm hex key to loosen the cap bolts.

2. Replace spring and tighten the bolts.
