ABSTRACT

The present invention relates to a service tool (100) for translating a rotary
shaft assembly (20) of an agitator system (10) in relation to a bearing
housing (30) supporting the rotary shaft assembly (20). The service tool (100)
comprises a tool (110) body, a shaft assembly attachment bracket (150)
configured to be releasably attached to an end portion of the rotary shaft
assembly (20), and a translation unit (180) configured to, when actuated,
translate the shaft assembly attachment bracket (150) in relation to the tool
body (100) along a translation axis (TA). The tool body (110) comprises a
radially inwardly facing support surface (120) extending along an axial
direction (AD), the support surface (120) being circumferentially distributed
about the translation axis (TA) and being configured to slidingly bear against
the rotary shaft assembly (20) while translating the rotary shaft assembly
(20) in relation to the bearing housing (30) along the translation axis (TA),
such that a radial displacement of the rotary shaft assembly (20) is
counteracted. A service arrangement (200) and a method (300) of translating a
rotary shaft assembly (20) of an agitator system (10) in relation to a bearing
housing (30) are also provided
