9.3.1 Operation of a single mechanical shaft seal
The shaft
501
drives the rotating part
697
by means of
set screws
617
. 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.
9.3.2 Replacing a single 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 bench or a flat surface free from obstructions.
Dismantling :
• Remove the shaft key
508
.
• Carefully clean the end of the shaft with emery paper
no. 320 to remove any traces of paint, oxidation, burrs, etc.
• Unscrew the 4 screws
723
.
• Remove the cover,
705
without damaging the seal
707
.
• Remove the circlips
537
.
• Remove the washer
731
.
• Using the bearing puller, remove the bearing
703
:
position the claws 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 3 screws
726
(4 screws in the case of jac-
ket versions
P40 - P60 - P100).
• Slide the strainer assembly
725
along the shaft
501
taking care not to damage the lip seal
716
or the fixed
counterpart
604
(for jacket versions P40 - P60 - P100,
the shaft seal holder
601
is connected directly to the
front cover
401a.
The strainer
725
should be removed
with just its seals).
• 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
.
• Undo the screws
607
on the shaft keeping the rotating
part in place
697
(for jacket version P40 - P60 - P100 :
unscrew the plug
651
on the cover
401a
to get access
to the screw
617
, turn the shaft
501
slowly to align them).
• Remove the rotating part
697
by sliding it along the
shaft
501
(for jacket version P40 - P60 - P100 : remove
the jacket unit
622
and rotating part
697
by sliding
them along the shaft
501
).
