TTTO_84M WSA – 84M Series Point Machines Workshop Manual.
1.4 Definitions and terms

WSA Westinghouse Signals Australia
84M This is the base model point machine which is equipped for emergency hand
crank rotation of the motor drive but is non-trailable.
T84M This model point machine has the features of the base machine plus it allows
trailable operation.
D84M Similar to the 84M point machine but uses two levers for manually:
– Selecting between motor and hand operation.

– Moving the turnout blades when hand operation is selected.
Note: Interlocking between the levers ensures the turnout is returned to the “Normal”
position before the motor/hand lever can be moved to the ‘Motor’ position. A switch cuts
power to the motor as the motor/hand lever is moved to the ‘Hand’ postion.
TD84M This model point machine has the features of the base machine plus it has dual
control operation and is trailable.
The TD84M uses two levers for manually:

– Selecting between motor and hand operation.
– Moving the turnout blades when hand operation is selected.
CAUTION
TD84M machines must NOT be trailed while the motor/hand selector is in
the “Hand” position.
1.5 Specification
Weight 205 kg to 220 kg typical.
Operating stroke 180 mm.
Operating thrust – Trailable Adjustable over three ranges (low, standard and high) to
suit application.
Operating thrust – Non-trailable Factory preset at 3.5 kN (707 lb);

Clutch slip at 5 kN (1124 lb).
Can be adjusted to 12 kN maximum.
Operating time 4 seconds to 7 seconds depending on load and motor.
Environment -20oC to +70oC
Motor Type Voltage Nominal Current*

Permanent magnet 24 Vdc 10 A
Split field 110 Vdc 4.5 A
Single phase 110 Vac to 120 Vac 7A
Single phase 220 Vac to 240 Vac 4A
Note: other motors are available to special order.
1.6 Construction
Case is a casting with integral mounting lugs, apertures, bosses and tapped holes
required for all versions of the 84M point machines.
Cover is fully removable and fixed into place by an integral hinge and latch plate.
It features:
• Gasket seal all round

• Anti-condensate finish on the interior.
Hand crank aperture cover seals the aperture where the emergency hand crank is
inserted. Note: Dual control point machines do not use a hand crank.
Throw bar drives the movable blades of the turnout. It is threaded at both ends (M36)
and is supplied with two hexagonal nuts. The nuts locate and fix in place the throw bar
connected to the turnout blades.
Detector Bars can be inserted into either side of the point machine. They are
connected to and move with the turnout blades. The detection switches monitor correct
point closure by the position of these bars.
Cable entry this is the point of entry of electric cables into the point machine. Normally a
flexible conduit tube (containing the cables) is slide over and fixed to this component by a
suitable hose clip.
Drain plug for draining accumulated moisture from the case. WSA recommends that
unless the machine is installed in an area subject to flooding, that plug be permanently
removed.
Dual Control Levers there are two levers which are:
• Hand/Motor Lever Selects between motor and hand operation.

• Hand Throw Lever Moves the turnout blades when hand operation is
selected.
Note: Interlocking between these levers ensures the turnout is returned to the
required position before the motor/hand lever can be moved to its ‘active’ position.
A switch cuts power to the motor as the motor/hand lever is moved away from the
‘active’ position.
Lever Stop & Latch The motion of both dual control levers is limited in each
direction by these stops and latches. The latches can be locked with standard padlocks to
prevent unauthorised operation of the levers.
Fortress Lock Optional feature to prevent operation of the dual control levers by
unauthorised persons.

Adjustable spanners 450 mm 2 off
Adjustable spanners 600 mm 2 off
Or 55 mm open ended spanners 2 off
Nut driver insulated 5 mm 1 off

2.1.2 External Checks

Carry out the external checks and inspections listed in the TMP (baseline or tailored)
applying to the locality.
• To check that nuts and locknuts on either side of the drive lug are tight two
spanners must be used, one on the nut and one on the locknut. Attempting to use
a single spanner can loosen the bond between the nuts.
• Note that it is permissible for the drive lug to be able to rotate on the mechanism
throw bar and on the drive rod provided that there is zero end float. Loctite 242 or
similar can be used on nut and locknut threads to assist locking.
• Allowing the drop lug to rotate on the mechanism throw bar will reduce the effect of
stockrail movement on throw bar/coupling bar misalignment.
• Detector rods must be firm in the lugs on the end of the detector slides but not so
tight that the dished washers become ineffective. Again two spanners must be
used when tightening locknuts against nuts.
• There must also be less than 1mm of movement between detector rod and switch
or swing nose. Replace bushes and/or pins where necessary.
• If the baseplate holding down bolts on concrete beams are removed for any
reason, and these are stainless steel bolts, an anti-seize compound must be
applied to the bolt before it is re-inserted. While not essential for galvanised or zinc
plated bolts its use will still be beneficial.
• When checking emergency crank handle operation, examine the condition of the
indexed bearing sleeve. If the wear is such that a differently indexed handle could
be forced into the machine, the bearing sleeve must be replaced.
• With dual control machines, before inserting the EOL key into the machine, lift the
latch and attempt to move the selector lever. Only a few degrees of movement
should be possible. If the lever can be moved more than a few degrees then the
Emergency Operation Lock and slide is defective and must be replaced.
• With the selector lever in the ”motor” position, attempt to move the hand throw
lever. Again the lever should not move more than a few degrees. If it does the
interlocking between the two levers is defective and must be repaired or replaced.
• To check correct operation of the Emergency Operation Lock and key:
– Move the selector lever to the “hand” position.

– The slide must not be able to be pushed in and the EOL key must be retained in
the lock.
– Move the hand throw lever to the reverse position.
– Try to restore the selector lever to the “motor” position. This should not be
possible. In some cases, e.g. SSI Interlockings, this is achievable due to the
fact that the ball bearing has been taken out.
– Move the hand throw lever back to the normal position. The slide must not be
able to be pushed in and the key must be retained in the lock.
– Return the selector lever to the “motor” position.
– It should now be possible to push the slide fully in and turn and remove the EOL
key.
2.1.3 Internal Checks

Carry out the internal checks and inspections listed in the TMP (baseline or tailored)
applying to the locality:
• Detector rollers should be examined to ensure that they are rotating freely and that
there are no evident flat spots on the roller.
• Detector, motor control and motor cut-out switches are semi-sealed units and can
only be visually examined or checked with a meter for contact resistance. Initially, a
visual examination is usually sufficient to determine if a problem is developing.
Internal discolouration of the case, particularly blackening, or any discolouration of
the contact springs is an indication that a fault is developing and that the contact
block should be changed.
• Wear in detector and motor control contact linkages will result in light contact
pressures and “bobbing contacts”. These linkages need to be examined
periodically to check the degree of free play of pivots and pins and to check that
the throw-over action of the motor control contacts is a “snap” action without any
hesitation.
• Use the appropriate nut drivers to check that wiring and terminations within the
machine are secure.
• Ensure that the detection configuration plug is secure in its socket.
• Arrange for the machine to operate normal to reverse and back and listen for any
unusual noise(s) from the motor or gears. Motors cannot be field serviced and
must be changed and forwarded for overhaul if any defect such as worn or dry
bearings is suspected.
• If the noise appears to be coming from the gears, examine the condition of the
gear teeth. Signs of sharp edges at the top of gear teeth indicates heavy wear and
that imminent gear replacement will be necessary. If the gears appear OK, the
problem is most likely a dry or worn bearing. This will necessitate either gearbox
replacement or machine replacement for overhaul.
• Check the side float in the detector slides where they pass through the mechanism
case. This should not exceed 1 mm. Replace either the detector slide bearing or
detector slide, whichever is worn.
Check for movement

If it has not already been removed, the drain plug located under the gearbox in the centre
of the machine case should be removed as required to drain any accumulation of water.
2.1.4 Lubrication
The lubricants required are:
• Petroleum Jelly or a ‘Valve and O-ring lubricant’ for 84M and T84M machines only.
• Grease selected from the list in Appendix A.
• Mobil DTE 19 oil with 5 % to 10% Molybond 2.5 additive or Shell “Tonna Oil S 220”
(Included in Appendix A).
Lubricate where shown in figure 2.2.
The recommended maximum lubrication intervals are:
• For a machine which operates less than 75 times per day:
– 6 months.
• For a machine which operates more than 75 times per day:
– 3 months.
• For the throw bar, additional lubrication after severe storms or prolonged periods of
heavy rain.
Where machines are operating in severe environments, such as in areas with salt air or
where heavy condensation is experienced, maximum lubrication intervals will need to be
reduced.
CAUTION
Take care not to contaminate the clutch facings with oil or grease. In
particular trail clutch facings in T84M and TD84M machines must not be
contaminated.
Additional lubrication is required if these mechanism are dismantled and overhauled. For
details refer to chapter 3 “Overhaul” and Westinghouse Signals Australia* Manual
MH3408.

2.1.5 Clutch Adjustment

Unless there have been suspected clutch slip problems, it should only be necessary to
check the clutch at installation and at a minimum of yearly intervals thereafter.
2.1.5.1 Non Trailable Machines 84M and D84M

The clutch is located on the end of the extended worm shaft and may be adjusted by
tightening or loosening the castellated nut. (The nut is at the opposite end of the worm
shaft to the detection configuration plug and sockets).
2.3 Non-trailable Clutch including Electric Brake
Figure 2.4 84MKIII with Electric Brake
The clutch should be set for a slip load of 4.5 kN to 5.5 kN for Mk 1 machines and 7 kN
for Mk 3 machines (or Mk1 machines with Mk3 clutches fitted).
The clutch may be checked and adjusted by using the WB&S clutch setting tool, Part No
3335801201. Proceed as follows:
Disconnect the drive bar from the points. Fit the clutch setting tool to the fully extended
end of the drive bar and screw on one nut to just touch the outer collar of the tool but not
compress the spring. The inner end of the tool should be bearing against the side of the
mechanism case.
Check that the tool is reading zero plus or minus 0.25 kN. If not, the tool spring has been
damaged and must be replaced.
Operate the machine under power and read off the load at which the clutch slips.
If the torque is too low then: adjust
2.1.6 Motor protection clutch slip (Non-trailable machines only)

This clutch is on the end of the worm shaft.
Adjust clutch slip by turning the adjustment screw to change the pre-load of the Belleville
washers. The washers must not be fully compressed (or almost so) to achieve the
required slip load.
Figure 2.5 Motor protection clutch (non-trailable only): adjusting slip
To adjust the clutch:
a) Loosen the locknut while holding the adjustment screw steady.
b) Turn the adjustment screw to set the clutch slip (clockwise to increase).
The machine should drive the throw bar, without clutch slip, against the “Motor
Clutch Slip” load specified in table 6.2. The clutch should slip when driving a
load as little above the specified load as possible.
c) Tighten the locknut while restraining the screw.
2.1.7 Trail-Motor clutch slip (Trailable machines only)

This clutch is located in the hub of the worm wheel.
a) Measure the maximum load the machine will drive without clutch slip.
The measured load must not be less than (preferably grater than) the “Test
Load” specified in table 6.2.
b) Measure the minimum load at which the machine will trail.

The measured load must not be greater than the “Maximum Trail Load”
Adjustments are performed through the opening in the spring housing on the mainshaft.
Alternatively
A less accurate, but simpler, method of clutch adjustment, which does not require the
machine to be disconnected from the points, may be used.
Use a tong type ammeter around the motor common wire to the machine.
Measure the motor operating current normal to reverse and reverse to normal.
If the motor operating current is measured at 8.5 A or more, there is either binding in the
claw lock mechanism or in the turnout itself. These faults must be corrected at the earliest
opportunity. Do not simply adjust the clutch to compensate.
Block the points and measure the clutch slip current.
• The slip current must be at least 1 A, and preferably 1.2 A to 1.4 A, more than the
operating current.
• The slip current must not be less than 7.5 A.
• The slip current must not be more than 10.5 A.
If the slip current is too low, adjust by tightening the castellated nut. Ensure that a new
split pin is re-fitted.
2.1.7.1 Trailable Machines T84M and TD84M

The multi-plate trail/motor clutch is contained within the worm-wheel casting and acts as
both a breakaway clutch for trailing movements and a motor protection clutch.
Adjustment is carried out at the window provided in the spring housing contained on the
main worm-wheel shaft.
To adjust the clutch:
• Use a 6 mm diameter x 150 mm steel rod to rotate the pressure plate in the spring
housing until the locking socket head grub screw is visible through the window.
• Loosen the socket head grub screw.
• Using one of the 6 mm x 150 mm bars in one of the holes in the edge of the
adjustment ring and the other in a hole on the edge of the pressure plate, adjust
the clutch by turning the adjustment ring while holding the pressure plate
stationary.

Viewed from the worm-wheel end, turning the adjusting ring clockwise increases the
clutch slip load.
Load may be measured by using the Westinghouse clutch setting tool Part No
33358801201 in the manner described in clause 1.3.1.
• When the desired setting is obtained, re-tighten the grub screw.
There are three clutch springs for T84M and TD84M machines. These are:
Clutch Spring P/N Trail Setting Drive Setting

4177300801 Low 1.25 kN to 2.0 kN
4177300701 Medium 2.2 kN to 3.2 kN
4177300901 High 3.5 kN to 4.5 kN
T84M and TD84M machines used in New South Wales are normally fitted with the high
trail setting spring P/N 4177300901.
Alternatively
Use a tong type ammeter around the motor common wire to the machine.
Measure the motor operating current normal to reverse and reverse to normal.
If the motor operating current is measured at 8.5 A or more, there is either binding in the
claw lock mechanism or in the turnout itself. These faults must be corrected at the earliest
opportunity. Do not simply adjust the clutch to compensate.
Block the points and measure the clutch slip current.
• The slip current must be at least 1 A more than the operating current.
• The slip current must not be less than 7 A.
• The slip current must not be more than 10 A.
A slip current in excess of 10 A will indicate a defect within the clutch which must be
changed.
If a clutch with a high trail setting spring cannot be adjusted to exceed a 7 amp slip
current, then it is defective and must be changed.
Clutch change procedure is described in chapter 4 “Overhaul”. (TMG E1342).
3 Clutch and Snubber Overhaul
3.1 General
This section describes only clutch and snubber overhaul and machine hand changeover.
It does not describe gearbox dismantling or bearing renewal and does not contain a
comprehensive list of parts.
A detailed Workshop Manual, document TTTO_84M, is available from Westinghouse

Signals Australia. This should be obtained and used where major mechanism overhaul is
contemplated.
The intervals at which a switch machine requires overhaul will depend on:
• Usage.
• Type of turnout or swing nose being driven.
• Rail traffic types and tonnages.
• Variation in turnout and road bed condition over time.
Since all of the above will vary from area to area and may vary from location to location,
overhaul is to be carried out on an “as required” basis.
Virtually all of the moving parts in an 84 series machine will, at some stage, wear to the
point that operation will be compromised. Examples of these parts are:
• Clutch disks and springs.

• On hand crank machines, the crank bearing sleeve and switch linkage.
• Detector slide bearings in the case.
• Detector rollers and roller linkages.
• Motor control contact rollers and throwover linkages.
• Throw bar bearings in the case.
• Pinion teeth and throw bar rack teeth.
• Gearbox mainshaft bearings.
• Worm and worm wheel teeth.
• Worm gear shaft bearings.
• Wormshaft gear, intermediate pinion and intermediate gear teeth.
• Shaft or bearings for the intermediate pinion and gear.
• The snubber friction disk.
• Detents in the throw bar.
All of these parts can be replaced provided that the wear has not been allowed to extend
into cast components such as the case and gearbox castings. If this happens, the
machine has little more than scrap value.
Where a (*) symbol is shown against a procedure, the procedure can be carried out
without removing the machine from the points.
Where a (#) symbol is shown against a procedure, the procedure is best carried out in a
workshop.
However, where a machine requires attention to more than one assembly, eg clutch and
hand throw mechanism, then it would be advisable to remove the machine from site for
overhaul.
3.2 Clutch (and Snubber) Replacement 84M and D84M Mechanisms

This clutch is located on the end of the worm shaft on the same side of the mechanism as
the motor pinion.

workshop manual.
Removal
• Disconnect and remove the motor (complete with pinion).

• Remove the two M8 screws from the snubber assembly and remove the mounting
plate and springs.
• Remove the circlip retaining the intermediate gear shaft and, with a suitable drift,
gently tap the shaft out of the gearbox (try not to dislodge the bearing from the
gearbox housing). A 3/8” BSP plug in the side of the case gives access for the drift.
• Remove the intermediate gears and the snubber plate and friction disk.
• Remove the split pin, nut, outer pressure ring, spring assembly and inner pressure
ring from the clutch shaft.
• Remove the clutch plate and outer friction disk.
• Slide the final gear off the shaft and remove the inner friction disk.
• Thoroughly clean both sides of the final gear and the inner and outer clutch plates.
Use an approved solvent wetted cloth taking care not to splash the solvent on
other parts of the machine.
Check the condition of the bush in the centre of the gear and relace if necessary (unless
there has been considerable clutch slip, wear on this bush should be minimal).
Replacement
a) Fit a new inner friction disk and refit the final gear.
b) Fit a new outer friction disk and refit the outer clutch plate.
c) Replace the inner pressure ring, disk spring, outer pressure ring and retaining
nut.
d) Position the intermediate gears, snubber friction disk and snubber plate and
drive the intermediate shaft back into the gearbox.
e) Refit the circlip.
f) Refit the snubber mounting plate and springs.
g) Refit the motor and reconnect.
h) Adjust the clutch to slip with a load of 6.5 kN to 7 kN.
i) Fit a new split pin to the clutch retaining nut.

3.3 Clutch and Snubber Replacement T84M and TD84M Machines

As the clutch replacement on T84M and TD84M machines requires removal of the
gearbox from the machine, there are other tasks which should be carried out while the
gearbox is out of the machine. These tasks are included in this section under “clutch
replacement”.
3.3.1 Snubber Replacement (*)

Refer to clause 3.2.2
3.3.2 Clutch Replacement
3.3.2.1 Gearbox Removal – T84M (*)

a) Remove two nuts retaining detent spring cover to relieve pressure on detent
ball.
b) Undo and remove screws fastening the gear box to the case.
c) Lift the gear box away from the case.
– The gear box might stick to the case. Use a suitable tool (such as a large flat
blade screw driver) to prise it loose.
– The dowel pins might jamb in their holes if the gearbox is not lifted.
– The dowel pins might come away from the case with the gearbox. Recover
them from the gearbox and put them back where they came from.
CAUTION
The gear box is heavy and weighs 45 kg approximately.
Use a light crane or similar assistance.
WARNING
Since the points are essentially free when the gearbox is removed, the
protecting signals must be placed at, and held at, stop before commencing
gearbox removal. Points must be clipped before any train is allowed to
pass over them. Note also that there will be interference with detection
circuits which will affect signals on the other road if work is being carried
out on one end of a crossover.

3.3.2.6 Alternative Clutch Adjustment Procedure

For T84M and TD84M Machines
a) Use a tong type ammeter around the motor common wire to the machine.
b) Measure the motor operating current normal to reverse and reverse to normal.
c) If the motor operating current is measured at 8.5 A or more, there is possible

binding in the claw lock mechanism or in the turnout itself. These faults must be
corrected at the earliest opportunity. Do not simply adjust the clutch to
compensate.
d) Measure the drive current of a lubricated layout and adjust clutch to 200% of
operating current not exceeding maximum readings below for trailable points:
i) The slip current must not be less than 7 A.
ii) The slip current must not be more than 10 A.
e) A slip current in excess of 10 A will indicate a defect within the clutch which
must be changed.
f) If a clutch with a high trail setting spring cannot be adjusted to exceed a 7 amp
slip current, then it is defective and must be changed.
g) Measure the drive current of a lubricated layout and adjust clutch to 200% of
operating current not exceeding maximum readings below for Non trailable
points:
i) The slip current must not be less than 7.5 A.
ii) The slip current must not be more than 10.5 A.

The following are instructions for upgrading a D84M Mk 1 point machine to a D84M Mk 3
point machine. Refer to the 84M series point machines workshop manual for detailed
assembly instructions and illustrations.
Note: The sequence of operation is important and should be followed in the order given.
7.1 Disassembly
a) Electrically isolate the point machine to prevent unexpected operation.
b) Place point machine selector lever in “HAND” then bring it back sufficient to
clear the lever stand.
c) For point machines fitted with a Fortress lock remove lock (4 off M6 then lock
bracket).
d) Remove selector lever, being careful not to lose the key and interlock ball
(interlock ball is not fitted to point machines fitted with a Fortress lock).
e) Remove interlock plate; note the position of the cut outs so it may be refitted the
same way.
f) Centre rack by moving the hand throw lever to its vertical position.
g) Pull hand-throw lever part of the way off the shaft to enable the two remaining
bearing casting screws to be undone.
h) Remove the two bevel gear bearing block hold down screws.
i) Lift the complete hand throw assembly up and clear of the machine; if bearing
housing is stuck to the case with sealant it can be carefully prized away with a
chisel or similar tool; do not attempt to hammer it off as it may crack the casing.
j) Note whether selector yoke has “RH” or “LH” stamped on its top face as it must
be assembled the same way up: if there are no letters then it can be
reassembled either way.
k) Remove selector yoke pivot plate, pivot shaft and finally the yoke.
l) Disconnect motor plug.
m) Undo two hold down screws and remove motor by sliding it back and then lifting
away.
n) Remove three terminal assembly hold down screws and lift it clear of the main
bearing housing with care to avoid damaging the incoming wires.
o) Undo six motor control switch assembly hold down screws and carefully lift both
assemblies clear of the main bearing housing.
p) Remove seven gearbox hold-down screws and lift gearbox out of the point
machine; the gear box is located on dowels and may need to be hit on the side
with a soft faced mallet to free it.
7.2 Reassembly
a) Clear away any debris or rust particles from the pads in the point machine
housing; if necessary remove rust build up on the pads or dowels and apply a
light coat of grease or oil to facilitate reassembly.
b) Drop new gearbox in position and ensure that it is located on the dowels and is
sitting fully down on the pads; redo seven hold-down screws and tighten to 50
Nm.
c) Refit selector yoke, ensuring that it is the correct way around, and fit pin and
support plate; redo screws.
d) Engage hand throw clutch by rotating bevel pinion until clutch faces align and
moving the yoke to the drive end of the machine.
e) With the rack in approximately mid position refit hand throw assembly with the
lever vertical.
f) Ensure the selector crank sliding block engages the slot in the selector yoke
and the crank moves freely when the yoke is rotated on its pivot.
g) If there are alignment marks on the bevel gears ensure that these are aligned.
h) Hand tighten bevel gear support bearing block hold-down screws and the two
shorter bearing housing hold-down screws.
i) Apply a light film of oil on the shaft and push the hand throw lever fully back
against the bearing housing.
j) Throw the point machine in both directions to ensure the rack travel is
centralised in the housing.
k) If the rack stops more than 4mm closer to the housing at one end the larger
bevel gear must be moved forward by one tooth at a time relative the bevel
pinion until the distances are the same within 4 mm.
l) Tighten the four screws to 50 Nm.
m) Refit indexing plate and ball if one was originally fitted.
n) Insert woodruff key and push selector lever onto the shaft; operate lever to
check correct operation of the hand throw clutch; refit washer and nut.
o) Replace motor control assemblies; redo six screws.
p) Replace terminal assembly; redo three screws.
q) Refit motor; redo two screws and reconnect motor leads.
r) Place point machine in “HAND” and throw points to check that it works correctly.
