Shaft Seal
9.1
Seal Plate
Standard wet end sealing is accomplished by a seal plate. An optional hard metal throttle seal is available for severe duty. Both
seals are non-contacting with the shaft.
9.1.1
Seal Plate Assembly (LCV Only)
The seal plate is self aligning but radial adjustment of the optional throttle
bushing is required. Failure to correctly center the seal will lead to
unnecessary shaft wear and loss of efficiency.
To adjust the running clearance:
Loosen the bolts that attach the casing.
Center the clearance between the throttle bushing inner diameter
and the shaft by adjusting the throttle bushing using the set screws
in the support assembly.
The clearance can be determined by inserting a clearance gauge
through the access holes. The gauge should move freely around the
shaft circumference.
Re-tighten the casing bolts.
