The purpose of the generator is to provide power to all the included voltage consumers with a motor-headed. Like any unit, the generator is able to wear out, while often car owners have to replace bearings. About this further in the article.

VAZ generator device and principle

The main consumer of electricity at the start of the power unit is the starter device, the current strength in this case reaches hundreds of amps, resulting in a significant drop in the battery voltage. In this mode, consumers feed exclusively from AKB, which is intensively discharged. After starting the motor, the generator device becomes the main source of power supply.

The generator is a source of constant recharging of the AKB when the engine is running. If the generator stops working, the rechargeable battery is quickly discharged. The generator device provides the necessary current for the operation of the electrical appliances and the battery charge. After recharging the battery, the voltage difference of the generator and the battery becomes small, which entails a decrease in the charging current.

In terms of including powerful consumers (for example, headlights or rear window heater) and small motor revolutions consumed the total current can be much more, thanks to give the generator. The load in this case will fall on the battery, and it will start discharged.

Structurally, the generator consists of: housing, stator, rotor, rectifier block, brush node and control device.

Where are the generator bearings 2110

Generator bearings are used to ensure uniform and smooth rotation of the rotor. In the VAZ 2110 generators, two bearings are applied - front and rear, which are under special lids. To get to them, you need to dismantle the generator and remove the protective covers.

Signs of Malfunction of Generator Bearings 2110

The main signs of wear of bearings are:

• Uncharacteristic whistle and hum after running the motor.
• The battery is unstable, which is due to problems in the functioning of the shaft.
• Overheating devices due to friction of worn items.
• Shipping.

Causes of the failure of the generator bearings

The output of the generator bearing can occur for such reasons:

• Some components of the structure of the structure were worn due to a long operation (rolling track surfaces, rolling elements, separator, sealing component).
• The lubricant ended in the bearing device, which may occur as a result of its leakage.
• Device wear and low accuracy of the product may result in a rotation of the outer clip on the housing or the inner rope on the rotor shaft.
• Malfunctions in the work of bearings can also be due to the abrasive elements inside them. This problem entails an increased creak.
• It is possible that the bearing output is due to the fact that the detail simply worked out its operational resource.
• Another possible reason is the wear of the strap or imbalance itself.

Diagnosis with your own hands

To check the performance of bearings, do the following:

• Remove the belt from the pulley.
• Run the motor.
• If, after starting the engine, the whistle, hum and other symptoms are disappeared, this indicates the need to replace the device.

Generator 2110 scheme in assembled and disassembled form

Choosing a workplace

To dismantle the generator and the subsequent replacement of old bearings, put the car so that it is good lighting over the hood to remove the mechanism without difficulty.

Tools, fixtures, consumables

During the work on replacing bearing, you will need such tools:

1. Passatia.
2. Hammer.
3. Vice.
4. Marker.
5. WD-40 liquid.
6. Two-contact puller with paws.
7. Minus, cross screwdriver.
8. Heads with a rattling and keys on 13, 10, 27, 8 and 17 - better two.

Dismantling and generator disassembly (detail)

Order of work:

1. Disconnect the minus terminal of the AKB.
2. Next, unscrew the terminals of the device itself, pre-unscrewing the attachment of these terminals.
   
3. We study the generator fasteners scheme to begin withdrawing the unit.
   
4. Then remove the crankcase protection and remove the car.
5. Next, unscrew the mounts fixing the generator to the frame (on the position scheme 5 and 2).
   
6. During the revealing of the last fastener, hold the mechanism with your hand.
   
7. Remove the unit, remove the dirt and wipe the rag. Lubricate WD-40 threaded connections.
8. Screwdriver remove the rear plastic lid on the generator.
   
9. Cross screwdriver Unscrew the voltage regulator and attaching the brush holders.
   
10. Remove with the axis pulley and clamp the product in the vice.
    
11. Droke or other key, unscrew the nut on the pulley. So that the shaft is not scrolled, insert the hexagon into a special recess on the end.
    
12. Remove the washer and, by reloading the corresponding bolts, disassemble the unit of the unit.
    
13. Remove the plastic casing, and then the front ball bearing to gain access to anchor.
    

Replacing the front bearing generator 2110 (step by step)

Order of work:

1. As practice shows, the rotor from the front bearing is more convenient to shoot in this way: you screw the nut on the rotor thread and hit the hammer on it, substitting the wooden paler.
   
2. We find an element, the diameter of which corresponds to the diameter of the removed bearing (a 27 mm head is suitable).
3. Carefully tapping on the element to knock the bearing from the landing place.
4. I processes the lubricant new bearing.
   
5. We take the old bearing, put it on top of the new and install with light blows with a hammer.

Replacement rear bearing 2110 (detail)

Order of work:

1. To dismantle the rear element, you will need a special puller.
   
2. In the absence of a puller, you will have to knock out a chisel element.
3. With the help of a chisel, apply a hammer over the bearing. Important moment: on the surface it is necessary to move in the opposite direction.
   
4. We take the head with which the front bearing was filmed, as well as the old extracted generator bearing. With their help you score a new bearing on its seat.

Tips Pros: how to find out what bearings are on the VAZ 2110 generator

This question can be answered, knowing such characteristics of the TC:

• What year of the TC?
• Injector?
• 16 valves?
• Rear or front bearing?

In the Land-Year VAZ 2110 generator, components of other size and marking are installed, since the diameter of the rotor axis is different.

Bearing by GOST number (front and rear):

• 6-180302 and 6-202 - Late models.
• 6-180303 and 6-203 - new models.

To accurately determine the marking of parts, before buying bearings, make measurements of product dimensions and measure the rotor, then compare the received information on the table.
