Fybroc Division series 1500 horizontal pumps - MHz Electronics, Inc

If the mechanical seal is a double inside seal,remove the four bolts and washers (Item 17C,17E) securing the gland (Item 17) to the cover(Item 11) and remove the gland. Be sure the setscrews are loose and pull the rotary seal assemblyoff the sleeve using a twisting motion as it isremoved. The integral sleeved impeller (Item 2)can be removed from the cover. Next remove thestationary seal faces from the gland and cover bygently pressing them out using your thumbs. Thecarbon and ceramic elements of the seal shouldbe handled carefully to prevent chipping orscratching.If packing is supplied with the pump then firstremove the upper four nuts and washers securingthe gland and remove the gland. Next remove thelower four nuts and washers and remove the stuffingbox extension. Now remove the packing ringsand lantern ring, keeping them in order to preservethe location of the lantern ring. The gland studscan now be removed from the cover.POWER-FRAME DISASSEMBLYAfter removing the pump casing, impeller, andcover assembly from the power-frame, proceedwith the following:1) Drain oil from the power-frame assembly byremoving the drain plug (Item 19A). Collect oilinto a suitable container.2) Remove the deflector, if the pump utilizes oilseals, (Item 40) by sliding off the shaft.3) Remove only the adjusting screws (Item 33A)that secure the bearing housing (Item 33) tothe power-frame (Item 19).4) The shaft assembly is now ready for removal.Slowly and evenly turn the remaining adjustingjacking screws (Item 33A) until the outboardbearing housing (Item 33) clears the frame (Item19). This will require the use of shims or barstockbeing placed between the adjusting jackingscrews and bearing frame. The adjusting jackingscrews by themselves are not long enough toeffect complete clearance from the frame. Becareful when removing the shaft assembly not todamage the impeller threads on the end of theshaft by contacting the cast-iron. You now shouldbe holding the shaft, bearings, and outboardbearing housing assembly.5) Remove the shaft and bearing assembly fromthe outboard bearing housing, by removing theinternal retaining ring (Item 18A). Lightly tapthe outboard shaft end with a soft-headedmallet until the outboard bearing clears thebearing housing (Item 33).6) Remove the outboard bearing (Item 18) fromthe shaft by disengaging the tang on the lockwasher(Item 69) from the lock-nut (Item 22),and then remove the lock-nut with a bearinglock-nut wrench or by tapping the groove in thelock-nut with a hammer and drift. The bearingcan now be pressed from the shaft.7) Remove the internal retaining ring (Item 18A)from the shaft.8) Remove the inboard bearing (Item 16) bypressing from the shaft. Protect the impellerthreads and coupling end of the shaft fromdamage when pressing bearings off the shaft.9A) If the bearing frame is provided with labyrinthtype oil seals, and they are still in good conditionthey can remain in the bearing frame andbearing housing. If replacement is necessarythey can be pressed out of their respectivehousings.9B) If the bearing frame is provided with lip type oilseals, remove the oil seals (Items 47 & 49) fromthe outboard bearing housing and from thepower-frame. These seals are removed by lightlytapping with a soft-headed mallet. Note: theseseals should not be reused after disassembly.10) Remove the o-ring seal (Item 33B) from thebearing housing.11) If separate, remove the bearing frame adapterscrews (Item 71A) and remove the adapter(Item 71). Remove the casing jack-screws(Item 19D) from the adapter.12) If separate, remove the frame-leg screws(Item 19F) and remove the frame-leg(Item 19E).13) Remove the sight-glass, breather and plugs(Items 19A, 19B, 19C, 19G and 19H) fromtheir respective locations.11
