How to reset the Y axis motors

This article goes through how to reset the Y axis motors

How to reset motor height

 
This needs to be done with your Smartbench powered off to disengage the motor power
 

The motor is set to allow the pinion to mesh with the rack. If you are having issues with the motor pinion engagement this is how to reset this

As an indication, if the motor is raised (as shown in the picture below) this means the pinions are meshing into the racks.

To lower the motor pinion, loosen the hex bolt by using a 10mm spanner on both sides of the beam.

And loosen off the 4mm hex socket at the top of the motor on both sides of the beam.

Level the raised edge parallel to the mounting plate, so the distance between the two becomes zero. This will move the pinions down meaning less resistance will be required to push or pull on the Lower X Beam.

D: Mounting plate

 

Step 2: Lock the motor in position

To set the motors again you will need to rotate the pinions back into the racks. 

Rotate the motor pinions on both sides of the lower beam to mesh with the racks.

L: Lower beam motor

Hold and tighten off the 4mm hex socket at the top of the motor on both sides of the beam.

Raise the motor pinion and tighten the hex bolt by using a 10mm spanner on both sides of the beam.

M: 10mm bolt

As an indication, if the motor is raised (as shown in the picture below) this means the pinions are meshing into the racks.
