Assembly / installation
Mechanical seals are super-finished and repeatedly tested machine elements whose
handling during assembly requires special care during certain procedures,
particularly when dealing with sliding materials and elastomers.
For installation the assembly drawing has to be observed.
Unpack the seal.
If necessary, use suitable auxiliaries (e.g. crane, elevating machinery, lifting
device, eye bolts etc.).
ATTENTION!
The
regulations for the prevention of accidents
have to be followed.
After having unpacked
the mechanical seal:
remove the protective covers from the sliding faces
clean the sliding faces with ethyl alcohol and paper tissues
check the parts for possible damage.
Never place the seal faces or seats on their sliding faces without having covered
them adequately.
Clean all parts thoroughly.
Check before starting assembly:
complete availability of all components by means of the drawing
all components have to be clean and in perfect condition.
The order of assembly to install the mechanical seal into the machine depends on
the design of the machine and has to be determined by the machine manufacturer.
If the machine manufacturer specified auxiliaries (jigs and fixtures) they have to be
used in accordance with the specifications of the manufacturer.
The mechanical seal has to be installed under the cleanest conditions
and very carefully.
Avoid unnecessary rotation
of the shaft (damage of the sliding faces is
possible).
Never use force during installation.
Avoid knocking! Damage to mechanical seals has an adverse effect
on their safe operation.
Observe the notes on the current drawing; if necessary, please
