9.2.1 Operation of a MOUVEX mechanical shaft
seal
The shaft
501
drives the rotating parts
697
(consisting of
the reservoir
612
, the seal
613
, the spring support
614
,
the spring
615
(not shown here), the cage
616
and the
shaft seal carrier
641
) by means of set screws
642
. The
counterpart
604
is integrated with the shaft seal holder
601
by the seal
605
and the pin
627
.
THE SEALING IS ACHIEVED :
• On the shaft, by ring seals
613
of rotating part
697
.
• By the contact face between the rotating part
697
and
the fixed counterpart
604
.
• Between the fixed counterpart
604
and the shaft seal
holder
601
by the seal
605
.
Fluid tightness therefore depends on the condition of the
friction faces and ring seals.
REASONS FOR LEAKING SHAFT SEAL :
• Seal damaged during assembly (scratching on friction
faces, etc.).
• Shaft seal unsuitable for the liquid pumped (chemical
attack or mechanical damages to seals and counter-
parts).
• Normal wear of the shaft seal.
9.2.2 Replacing a MOUVEX mechanical shaft
seal
Before undertaking disassembly, make sure that the pump
has been drained, and take the necessary precautions
to prevent it from starting up. The pump must not start up,
even accidentally.
Uncouple the pump by removing the coupling sleeve.
Remove the pump mounting screws.
Place it on a workbench or on a flat surface free from obs-
tructions.
Dismantling :
• Remove the shaft key
508
.
• Carefully clean the end of the shaft with emery paper
no. 320 to remove all traces of paint, oxidation, burrs, etc.
• Unscrew the 4 screws
723
.
• Remove the cover
705
without damaging the seal
707
.
• Remove the circlip
537
.
• Remove the washer
731.
• Using the bearing puller, remove the bearing
703
:
position the jaws behind the bearing, sliding them into
the openings in the housing
725
and pressing against
the shaft end
501
.
• Remove the second washer
731
.
• Unscrew the 4 screws
726
.
• Slide the strainer unit
725
along the shaft
501
taking
care not to damage the lip seal
716
or the fixed coun-
terpart
604.
• Unscrew the 2 screws
729
and their square nuts
730
.
• Remove the shaft seal holder
601.
• Remove the counterpart
604
and its ring seal
605
remaining on the shaft seal holder
601
.
• On the shaft, undo the screws
642
holding the rotating
part
697
.
• Remove the rotating part
697
by sliding it along the
shaft
501
.
