Be sure that all carbon and copper particles are removed from the
area between the commutator bars of the armature. Wash the
windings of the stator to remove carbon particles. When using air to
blow cleaning fluids and dirt from armature, blow air in direction as
shown in Figure 2-1. When using air to blow cleaning fluids from
stator, blow air from drive end side toward commutator end of stator
as shown in Figure 2-2.
b. After cleaning, bake armature and stator in an oven for three hours at
93 degrees C (200 degrees F).

a. Check the drive shaft assembly splines (1) for wear. Large 12 tooth
splines should measure .696 inches minimum over two .0864 inch
diameter pins. The small 11 tooth spline is checked for wear by
installing it in the armature and a new drive shaft into the same
armature, and then comparing both for radial play. Discard the used
shaft for excess radial play.
b. Magnetic particle test the drive shaft per ASTM–E1444 for cracks, in
particular the shear point. Discard the shaft if a crack is noted.
a. Inspect the parts of the commutator end bell assembly for wear and
damage. Be sure that brush holder assemblies (1) are not bent,
distorted, or loose.
b. Check bearing liner for wear and damage. If bearing liner inside
diameter is worn beyond permissible dimensions specified in Table III,
replace the commutator head.

c. Using a standard spring scale with a small loop of wire, measure the
tension of all brush springs, lifting the spring a maximum of 1/16 of an
inch, off a new brush which is flush with the bottom of brush box.
Tension should be as shown below:
a. Inspect the stator (11) for wear and damage. Check for damaged
insulation and loose or broken terminals. Check for tightness of coils
visible brazed joints, and tightness of welded screens. Screens should
not rest on stator coils.
a. Measure the bearing liner in Drive End Bell (7). Replace end bell if
liner is worn beyond those dimensions shown in Table III.
2-15 TESTING
2-16 ARMATURE (Refer to IPL Figure 4-1)
a. After cleaning and baking armature (23) per paragraph 2-8 and using
a Hi-Pot insulation tester, ground test armature. Apply 300 volts AC,
60 Hz for 1 second between a commutator bar and the shaft (ground)
and between the two stainless steel bands and the commutator.

a. At each overhaul, cut the commutator to remove wear marks, oil or carbon
film. Take a single light cut at a speed of approximately 600 surface feet per
minute. If the surface is scored or pitted, take a series of light cuts at a speed
of approximately 200 surface feet per minute. A diamond tipped cutting tool
is recommended. (See Figure 2-4.) The point of the cutting tool must be held
on the centerline of the armature shaft. (See Figure 2-6). If a carboloy-tipped
commutator cutting tool (See Figure 2-5) is used, the point of the cutting tool
must be held 1/32 inch below the center line of the armature shaft. The
minimum diameter to which the commutator may be turned down is 2.030
inches.
b. After the commutator is turned down, measure the depth of the under-cutting
between commutator bars. If the depth is less than .032 inches, undercut the
mica to .045 inches deep maximum and to a width of .030-.035.
c. After the commutator is undercut, take a final cut of not more than 0.001
inches across the face of the commutator to remove burrs. If a diamond-
tipped commutator cutting tool is not available, make the final cut with a
freshly honed carboloy-tipped commutator cutting tool. The cutting speed
should be 600 surface feet per minute with either type cutting tool. Do not
use polishing abrasives. After the final cut, remove burrs between
commutator bars with a strip of fiber or a thin blade.

a. Based on the established brush life for the operator whose generator is being
serviced, and his Time Between Overhauls (TBO), the operator can amend this
paragraph to utilize the brushes for another operating period. If this is the case, the
brushes and brush holders should be marked so as to return the same brush to the
brush box it was removed from. This will reduce time to re-seat the brushes. Brush
life remaining can be calculated as per “Brush Life Calculation Procedure”. (See
additional service information list in back of manual)
a. If the XL Series armature shows a ground short at 300 volts AC after steam
cleaning or has a band short, that armature can be returned to Skurka Aerospace
Inc. for evaluation and possible repair at the customers’ cost.
If approved commutator turning equipment is not available, the armature can be returned to
Skurka Aerospace Inc. for immediate turning at the customers expense.

Brush seating for XL Series can be accomplished under load as stated in Paragraph 3-10. Brush
seating by motorizing is also acceptable. When new brushes are installed, brush seating of “XL” Series
brushes may take longer as they are extremely slow to wear. See enclosed copy of SAI Service Bulletin

SUBJECT: Brush Seating SAI Brushes in High Speed (Approx. 12,000 RPM)
Starter-Generators and Application of SAI Brushes to SAI Generators
PURPOSE:
PROCEDURE:
When installing new Skurka Aerospace Inc. designed brushes in a generator for the first time, it is
mandatory that the commutator be resurfaced as mentioned in the paragraph above. The best
brush life will always be obtained when resurfacing the commutator prior to installing brushes.
Imperfections in the commutator surface and movement of the commutator bars as a result of
generator usage over extended periods of time, accelerate brush wear. Do not use any abrasive
paper to sand the commutator as the sand particles may become embedded between the
commutator bars and cause accelerated brush wear.
Mount the generator securely on a bench in a horizontal position. Motorize the starter-generator by
connecting the positive lead of a DC supply to starter-generator terminal C+ for a series start or B+
and A for a shunt start. Connect the negative lead of the DC supply to starter-generator terminal
E-. Adjust the DC supply voltage to 15 volts. This will enable the machine to run at approximately
7000-9000 rpm for a series start, and 3000-6000 for a shunt start. The DC input amperes will be
approximately 20-40 amperes for 150-250 ampere generators and approximately 30-60 amperes
for 300-400 ampere generators.
To remove carbon accumulations, fan cover should be removed, exposing the brush area. A
portable blower or fan should be set to blow air across the brush area when the starter-generator is
running. This procedure will remove the carbon dust from the starter-generator as the brushes are
being seated.
An acceptable brush seat should indicate 85-100% brush contact in the direction of rotation and at
least 85% parallel to the armature shaft. Continue running the generator to achieve this seating, if
brush seating is unacceptable. Refer to Page 2 for typical brush seating. (This film does not
indicate brush run-in. See above paragraph).
Most SAI grades of brushes are instant filming types and during the procedure of brush seating, a
dark film will appear on the commutator surface. This film lowers brush friction and increases
brush life.

Install new SAI designed brushes in the generator. Do not use any abrasive paper to sand the
commutator as the sand particles may become embedded between the commutator bars and
cause accelerated brush wear.
Mount the generator securely on a bench in a horizontal position. Motorize the starter-generator
by connecting the positive lead of a DC supply to starter-generator terminal C+ for a series start
or B+ and A for a shunt start. Connect the negative lead of the DC supply to starter-generator
terminal E-. Adjust the DC supply voltage to 15 volts. This will enable the machine to run at
approximately 7000-9000 rpm for a series start, and 3000-6000 for a shunt start. The DC input
amperes will be approximately 20-40 amperes for 150-250 ampere generators and
approximately 30-60 amperes for 300-400 ampere generators.
To remove carbon accumulations, fan cover should be removed exposing the brush area. A
portable blower or fan should be set to blow air across the brush area when the starter-
generator is running. This procedure will remove the carbon dust from the starter-generator as
the brushes are being seated.
An acceptable brush seat should indicate 85-100% brush contact in the direction of rotation and
at least 85% parallel to the armature shaft. Continue running the generator to achieve seating,
if brush seating is unacceptable. Refer to Page 2 for typical brush seating.
Most SAI grades of brushes are instant filming types and, during the procedure of brush seating,
a dark film will appear on the commutator surface. This film lowers brush friction and increases
brush life.
(This film does not indicate brush run-in. See above paragraph.)

PURPOSE:
This modification is offered to operators of Skurka Aerospace Inc. (SAI) 150SG/160SG series
starter-generators who may require increased brush life and lower operating costs. The
modification consists of one time only internal inspection of the starter-generator and a change
of brushes and, if required, brush springs to SAI new Long Life “XL2” P/N
150SG1009-20XL2 and 150SG1005S respectively. This modification is performed a SAI
authorized facilities.
Approval to perform this modification by an SAI Authorized Repair Station, may be granted by
SAI, on a case by case basis.
REASON:
Some operators of SAI 150SG/160SG starter-generators may experience reduced brush life on
some aircraft installations. Brush life can be adversely affected by many variables, including
operating environment, duty cycle, starting requirements, chemical contamination, maintenance
procedures, etc. For those operators, SAI is offering this new “XL2” upgrade which may provide
substantial increase in brush life. In addition, armature commutator wear will be reduced when
installing the new brushes, P/N 150SG1009-20XL2 and brush springs P/N 150SG1005S.
Springs are optimized to operate in conjunction with the “XL2” brushes.
Provided the starter-generator is overhauled at and SAI Authorized Repair Station, SAI
guarantees minimum of 600 hours brush life for “XL2” series starter-generators. Many
operators may experience much higher brush life.
APPROVAL:
AVAILABILITY:
The modification to “XL2” Long Life configuration is performed at SAI. For subsequent brush
maintenance and starter-generator overhauls, the operators may utilize their currently used
facilities, and pertinent Starter-Generator Maintenance Manual. SAI recommends maintaining
the “XL2” series starter-generators at one of SAI’s authorized Repair Stations.

Brush life will be guaranteed for starter-generator’s overhauled at an SAI approved Repair
Station.
Spring tension should be checked during overhauls according to procedures outlined in the
Maintenance Manual. Allowable spring tension range is 32-48 ounces.
IDENTIFICATION:
SAI “XL2” series starter-generators are identified by (-XL2) immediately following the last digit of
the serial number.

SUBJECT: DATA WHICH WILL ALLOW YOU TO CALCULATE YOUR BRUSH LIFE
FOR YOUR SAI STARTER-GENERATORS
We have found that repeated brush inspections of Starter-Generators can result in rapid brush
wear and even hang-ups. When inspecting brushes, many operators will slide the brush cover
off the back of the generator causing the brush leads to be misplaced.
Sliding the cover forward again, further misplaces the brush leads. If the generator is mounted
on the engine while the inspection is being made, some brush boxes cannot be seen, making
brush lead positioning impossible.
Removing brushes from brush boxes can cause the brush position in the box and the
relationship to the commutator of the brush to be disturbed. The disturbed brush may wear
faster than normal.
One brush inspection between overhauls of the SAI generator is all that may be required of the
SAI brushes.
In essence, this procedure allows the operator to determine his time between brush changes
and may help fix the overhaul periods to be at the same time brushes must be replaced.
At 300 hours, remove the generator for brush inspection. Remove the shortest brush only to
measure the remaining brush life. Do not remove more than one brush, as brush seating will be
affected. Your brush inspection time will be obtained by measuring three different generators
and using the shortest brush length, as the basis for determining your fleet wide brush life.
Filling in the attached form, will show you how to determine remaining brush life. Using this
procedure will aid you in determining your Mean Time Between Overhauls (MTBO). The
generator must be overhauled at 1,000 hours, at which time the bearing must be replaced.
The SAI 150SG and 160SG ampere Starter-Generators can usually operate for a minimum of
500-800 hours without brush change. At 1,000 hours time, the generator must be removed for
overhaul and bearings changed, unless the SAI overhaul manual or aircraft manufacturer states
the bearings can be operated in excess of 1,000 hours.
Please note, this procedure can only be accomplished with a new generator or a generator that
has been overhauled in accordance with SAI Overhaul Procedures and the commutator has
been turned (resurfaced) in a lathe.

The drive shaft must stay aligned with and concentric to the armature.
The drive shaft may be pushed off center and out of position due to mishandling during shipping
or installation. If the starter-generator is allowed to be installed with the drive shaft out of
position, excessive vibration and damage may develop during operation.
Therefore, before installation of the starter-generator on an engine, carefully inspect the drive
shaft and dampner plate assembly. See enclosed sketch. If the drive shaft appears to be out of
position, lightly tap on the drive shaft spline, using a plastic mallet to move it back into full
concentric position.
