MA-XRG
where X = the horsepower of the unit and RG indicates the helical-bevel gearbox. For example,
MA-20RG is the 20 hp mud agitator with a helical-bevel gearbox.
MA-RG Series Agitators are very compact. Their low profile reduces headroom requirements and
provides more layout space on top of the tanks. The 1:1 height-to-width ratio results in a lower
center of gravity, providing stability and safety should the impeller encounter a sudden shock load.
MA-RG Series Agitators use a mounting skid.
An even lower profile version of the MA-RG Series Agitator is offered in which a base plate is used
instead of the mounting skid to reduce the overall height. The naming convention for the agitator
with a base plate is:
MA-XRGLP
Another variation of the MA-RG Series Agitators has a C-face motor with a close coupling style.
This variation also has a base plate instead of a mounting skid and naming convention is:
MA-XRGC
For example, the MA-3RGC is the 3 hp mud agitator with a helical-bevel gearbox, a base plate and
a C-face motor.
Each MA-RG Agitator uses a shaft-mounted impeller to maintain a homogeneous mixture of
liquids and solids within a tank. Impellers are available with flat blades (radial flow), contour blades
(axial flow), and canted blades (radial/axial flow). Blades may be installed in single or multiple
configurations to provide the desired results.
There are several options available for MA-RG Series Agitators. Popular options include special
paint finishes, remote starters, other electrical controls, and special duty motors. Contact your
sales representative to discuss which options may be right for your application. See Chapter 8,
titled "Worldwide Locations" to locate the office nearest you.

Unit Description
Each MA-RG Agitator consists of a motor, gearbox, mounting base and shaft-mounted impeller.
Electrical controls, special coatings, custom bases, and other options are available.
Motor
The motors used on the mud agitators are explosion proof, three-phase electric motors directly
coupled to the gearbox using a flexible coupling with a solid steel guard. Motors are available for
most voltage/frequency requirements. Other electrical code styles and temperature ratings are
also available.
Nominal motor ratings
Volts Hz RPM
230/460 60 1800
190/380 50 1500
Gearbox
The gearbox is a triple-reduction helical-bevel gear drive reducing the motor speed (1800 rpm @
60 Hz / 1500 rpm @ 50 Hz) to the agitator speed (60 rpm / 50 rpm respectively) in a 30:1 nominal
reduction. The actual output speed varies by motor and gearbox size.
The gearbox contains an output shaft, two seals, and four to six bearings in addition to the helical-
bevel gear system. The bearings are generously spaced to minimize shaft vibration and deflection.
Seals are standard sizes readily obtainable.
Mounting Base
The motor and gearbox are assembled on a common base with heavy grade fasteners. The base
is sand blasted to white metal, primed with zinc and finish coated with epoxy. Special coatings are
available as an option.
Impeller
Impellers may have flat blades (radial flow), contour blades (axial flow), or canted blades (both
radial and axial flow). Blades may be installed in either single or multiple configurations to provide
the desired results.
Impellers range from 32 in. to 64 in. (813 to 1626 mm) in diameter for canted and flat blades and
20 in. to 64 in. (508 to 1626 mm) in diameter for contour blades. Flat-blade impellers are
recommended for tanks less than 5 feet (1.5 m) in depth. Use canted or contour blades in tanks
deeper than 5 feet (1.5 m). You may also mount a combination of types on a single shaft in tanks
deeper than 15 feet (4.5 m).
Larger custom-designed blades and mixing systems are also available. See Chapter 8, titled
"Worldwide Locations" to locate the office nearest you.

Flat-blade Impellers
When properly mounted, these impellers produce adequate agitation in shallow tanks, but may
require baffles to induce both axial and radial flow. Flat blades do the best job of preventing solids
from settling on the tank bottom. (See Figure 2-1.)
Figure 2-1. Flat blade impellers promote

radial flow in shallow tanks.
Canted-blade Impellers
On canted blade impellers (see Figure 2-2), the blades are angled downward at 60° to promote
axial as well as radial flow. Canted blades shear and circulate to provide quick mixing. Vortexing
may occur with canted blades.
Figure 2-2. Canted blade impellers promote

axial flow within a tank.
12
www.nov.com/brandt
Revision 11
Page 9 of 114
Contour-blade Impellers
On contour blade impellers (see Figure 2-3), the blades are designed with a variable pitch
reducing the horsepower requirements and inducing less shear to the mud. Contour blades move
liquid downward to the bottom of the tank, along the tank bottom toward the tank walls and then up
the tank wall. All fluid in the tank is mixed continuously and the same consistency is maintained in
all parts of the tank.
Field experience has confirmed that this design provides the most homogeneous mixture in the
widest range of installations. Complete fluid agitation minimizes fluid control problems caused by
inconsistent mixtures. Contour blades also use less horsepower than canted blades.
Figure 2-3. Contour blade impellers promote axial

flow with less shear to the mud.
Multiple Impellers
When an agitator is used in an extremely deep tank, over 15 feet (4.5 m) deep, multiple impellers
can be mounted on one shaft. Usually the upper impeller(s) is a canted or contour blade and the
bottom impeller is a flat blade. A bottom shaft stabilizer is often required for multiple impellers.
Contact our engineering department for proper impeller sizing and stabilizer requirements. See
Chapter 8, titled "Worldwide Locations" to locate the office nearest you.
Impeller Placement
Flat-blade impellers should be placed 6 in. (152 mm) above the bottom of the tank or 2 in. (51 mm)
above the bottom shaft stabilizer if one is used.
Canted and contour blade impellers should be placed on the shaft so that the distance between
the bottom of the tank and the lower edge of the blades is equal to 0.75 times the diameter of the
impeller. For example, a 36 in. (914 mm) impeller should be placed 27 in. (686 mm) above the
bottom of the tank.
www.nov.com/brandt
Page 10 of 114
Impeller Shaft
Standard impeller shafts for MA-RG Series Agitators are manufactured of solid mild steel. The
impeller shaft is coupled to the gearbox with a rigid coupling. All shafts are keyed to adjust the
height of the impeller.
Shaft length is determined by tank depth. When ordering impeller shafts, always specify
the actual tank depth. Tank depth is defined as the distance from the bottom of the tank to
where the agitator is mounted.

Bottom Shaft Stabilizer

A bottom shaft stabilizer is required in deep tanks to reduce side loading on the gearbox bearings.
The stabilizer also protects the agitator shaft and impeller when auxiliary equipment is carried
inside the mud tank during rig moves. Bottom shaft stabilizers are required when the tank depth is
8 feet (2.4 m) or more.

Installation
Installation
Proper installation of the agitator will help ensure proper operation with low level of vibration and
long service life. Installation should start at the top with connections then made toward the bottom.
Before installing the shafts, all coupling connections must be cleaned of all debris, sand or rust. All
connections must be torqued to the manufacturer’s specifications. Do not use grease or anti-seize
compound between the connections.
Agitator Safety Flow Diagram

The list below illustrates the safe and ideal steps in which to install the agitator. It is therefore
recommended that these steps are followed in order that a safe and efficient installation of the
equipment will take place.
 Familiarise with the general arrangement drawings and the scope of supply
 Review the installation manual
 Identify the crates and review the packing list
 Handling
 Planning Meeting
 Risk Assessment
 To Site
Familiarise with GA's and Scope of Work
The general arrangement drawings supplied are to be reviewed to assist in the location and
orientation of the agitators. All personnel involved in the installation should make themselves
aware of the complete scope of the work.
Review the Installation Manual

The installers should familiarize themselves and follow the installation procedures contained in this
manual. Any issues or questions regarding installation, commissioning or use of the agitators can
be addressed by the field service representative.
Identify the Crates and Review the Packing List

With the aid of the packing list, each agitator and shaft can be identified readily by the markings on
each crate. All crate gross weights are on the crate labels and packing lists.

Revision 11 3: Installation
Page 14 of 114
Handling
Planning Meeting
For handling the agitator and shaft crates to the site, personnel involved should attend the
Planning Meeting to decide on the safest, most direct route to move the agitator and shaft crates
into position as close as possible to the final location.
Risk Assessment
Risk assess any potential hazard that may lead to serious injury or death when transporting the
agitator and shaft crates. Hazards must then be addressed by all key personnel to ensure safe
transit of the crates to the site location.
To Site
Extreme care must be taken to prevent damage when moving the agitator and shaft crates.
Ideally, the use of a spreader bar with soft fabric slings is the recommended support method for
lifting. Never lift a crate with only one support point. Only certified sling sets are to be used. Ideally,
soft fabric slings should be used to minimise damage to the crates or components. All lifting
equipment and procedures must comply with applicable safety requlations.
 Unpack
 Component check
 Inform NOV of damage
Unpack
Personnel should always unpack the agitator and shaft in an efficient and safe manner providing a
clean and safe working environment.
The equipment will be delivered to the site in crates. Remove any protective sheeting and steel
banding used to secure the crates. Remove the lid and then the sides, taking particular care not to
damage the equipment or cause injury to any personnel.
Any small loose items should remain in the crates awaiting storage or installation.
Component Check
All components enclosed in the agitator and shaft crates are to be thoroughly checked against the
packing list to ensure all items have been delivered/received.
Inform NOV
NOV should be informed of any damage to the agitators and/or any missing items within seven
working days.

Installation - Planning Meeting

Planning meeting is to be carried out prior to installation of the agitators and shafts. A clear plan of
action is to be deduced involving key personnel on how best to install the agitators and shafts
efficiently and safely.
Installation - Risk Assessment

All potential hazards that may lead to serious injury or death during the installation process must
be taken into account. Hazards must then be addressed by all key personnel to ensure a safe and
efficient installation of the agitators and shafts.
Handle to Final Location

The installation activities involve substantial lifting and handling operations with some heavy and
awkward components weighing up to 2500 lb (1133 kg) individual weight. Loads may also require
to be handled through floor, bulkhead hatches and doors. To assist with this handling, it is
recommended to ship the larger, heavier components partially disassembled for easier and safer
installation. Actual handling procedures and sequence of activities may be changed as dictated by
rig activities and experience gained with the handling of installation components.
Support Structure
Adequate support must be made in the deck in order to support the agitator correctly. Suitable
structure should be designed based on reaction forces specified on the installation drawings (if
applicable included in documentation package) and/or in this manual.
The following information should be reviewed and taken into consideration:
 Agitator weight and design loads (Refer to table titled "MA-RG Series Models" on page 11
for weights of agitators and table titled "Impeller Shaft Measurements" on page 10 for shaft
weights and maximum torque.)
 Location and size of skid mounting holes (Refer to Chapter 7, titled "Parts and Drawings".)
 Placement of structural members to allow full contact support for the agitator skid footprint
Use of structural members of equal or higher rigidity to the material used in the agitator skid
is recommended. Typically I-beams of respective strength in the lateral and horizontal bulk
head to bulk head cross sections is sufficient to support the base/skid of the agitator.
 Placement of the agitator
Directly to the tank deck is recommended. Lowering the mounting height improves the
strength of the structure and lowers the center of gravity, improving resistance to vibration.
 Tank openings required to place the shaft and impeller into the tank
 Proper placement of the impeller
 Proper size and location of the baffles
The agitator frame should be supported by a rigid structure making the first fundamental natural
frequency of the whole system 15 % above the operating rotating frequency of the motor and
having following characteristics:
 flat and level
 structural members to support the perimeter of the agitator skid with full-face contact
www.nov.com/brandt
Page 16 of 114
The agitator skid has been engineered to have the first natural frequency 50 % or more
above the motor operating speed. The natural frequency of the combined rigid structures is
different than that of its components as well as dependent on the rigidity of their
connection. Verification of the natural frequency of an as-installed structure might be
helpful in eliminating any resonance. Should resonance of the combined structure occur, it
can be eliminated by modification of either the supporting structure or the rigidity of agitator
skid to support structure connection. The system natural frequency is typically directly
proportionate to its stiffness. Increasing stiffness will shift the natural frequency up, thus
decreasing the possibility of resonance. This can be achieved by:
1. use of rigid, symmetrical and leveled structural support for the agitator base.
2. adding cross members to the support structure.
3. minimizing the gaps between the agitator base and the support structure or closing of the gaps by
welding. Minimize the use of shims.
4. minimizing agitator shaft misalignment.
Below is an example of an installation where adequate primary structural support was added to
strengthen the deck area in which the agitators were installed.
Before After
Figure 3-1. Support structure
Please note that sub support frames for the agitator baseplates must be suitably fabricated.
Inadequately fabricated support frames can cause instability or vibration issues.

Revision 11
Page 17 of 114
Below is an example of a sub frame with inadequate support.
Figure 3-2. Inadequate support
Lifting and Mounting

Lifting should be performed with proper lifting equipment and using only the designated agitator
lifting points. The agitator should be stored and lifted with its shipping crate until it is ready to be
installed in its final destination. The agitator should never be rested on the gearbox output shaft.
Once the agitator is in its intended position, check the alignment of the mounting holes and gaps
between the agitator skid and support structure as follows:
 The gap between the agitator skid and support structure at the bolting points before bolt
down should be less than 0.025 in. (0.635 mm). Gaps at the bolting points ranging from
0.025 in. (0.635 mm) to 0.5 in. (12.7 mm) should be eliminated using shims to prevent
deflection of the agitator skid and impact on shaft alignment.
 Minimum allowable shim size is 2 in. (51 mm) x 2 in. (51 mm) by the shim thickness.
 Maximum allowable shim thickness is 0.5 in. (12.7 mm). Thicker shims must be welded to
the foundation.
 No gap is allowed between the bolted components after tightening the bolt as it can cause
"soft foot" phenomenon.
 If needed, the agitator skid can be permanently welded to the supporting structure to close
excessive gaps between the structures. Alternatively, the support frame can be build and
fitted to the agitator skid before being welded to the tank deck. Any gaps resulting from
unevenness of the tank structure can be closed while welding the support frame.
Ensure that the skid is grounded before welding. Failure to do so can result in
electrical system damage.
Installation
All MA-RG Agitators are supplied as shop assembled agitators. All shaft assemblies are broken
down into various separate parts (shaft complete with coupling/bushing assembly, impeller
assembly and stabilizer housing) to aid in maneuvering parts into mud pits with restricted access.
Two type of shafts are manufactured; either a solid shaft that is keyed for the impeller or a pipe
spool to which the impeller is bolted. The solid shaft installation instructions are given followed by
the pipe spool installation instruction on page 31.

Mechanical Installation
1. Refer to the "Taper-Lock Coupling Installation Instructions" that is supplied in the
"Supporting Documents". These should be reviewed to familiarise the user with the shaft
fixing components being used.
2. Before locating the agitator on top of the tank, ensure the surface is square and level.
3. Ensure before installation of the agitator onto the top of the tank, the structure is strong
enough to hold the unit and the tank dimensions are correct as per the general arrangement
drawings. It is recommended the agitators are bolted to rigid beams.
4. The agitator assembly can be lifted to its location and into place using the four lifting eyes
provided on the unit and a correct four leg lifting sling assembly (not supplied). The agitator
assembly should be placed on blocks in the exact location it will be secured to give
19.685 in. (500 mm) clearance from the bottom of the tank to the bottom of the shaft
assembly when the shaft assembly is fitted to the agitator assembly. This is to ensure the
stabilizer will be fitted in the correct location. The agitator assembly and shaft assembly
need to be fitted before the stabilizer to ensure correct alignment.
Figure 3-7. Agitator lifting
5. Ensure access into the tanks is large enough for the shaft assemblies, impeller assemblies
and stabilizers. If it is possible to assemble the shafts completely before positioning inside
the tank, skip to step 8.
6. The impeller assemblies can be reduced in diameter by removing the blades, up to 4 if
necessary.

7. If the blades have been removed from the impellers, they need to be reinstalled. Refer to the
section titled "Bolt Torque Requirements" on page 102 for the correct torque for the agitator
fasteners.
8. When assembling the shafts, it is advisable to use two trestles and set the shaft in between
them for ease of assembly. See Figure 3-8.
Figure 3-8. Shaft assembly on trestles
www.nov.com/brandt
Page 22 of 114
9. For a single shaft and single impeller, do not remove the coupling already fastened to one
end. The preservation fluid needs to be removed from the shaft at this stage.
Figure 3-9. Single shaft with one half coupling
10. Install the impeller the correct way up. The impeller blades should be oriented so that the
fluid is pushed downward when the agitator is rotating clockwise when viewed from the top,
i.e. the leading edge of the paddle will be in the higher position with the trailing edge in the
lower position.
11. Ensure the bushing key is in the shaft keyway. Slide the impeller onto the shaft past the key.
Slide on bushing over the keyway and locate with the impeller coupling.
12. Locate the key and slide the impeller so that when the impeller is installed, the distance from
the bottom of the impeller blades to the tank bottom is roughly 0.75 times the impeller
diameter. For example, if the impeller diameter is 36 in. (914.4 mm), then the distance from
the bottom of the impeller blade to the tank bottom should be 27 in. (685.8 mm). If installing
dual shafts, the top shaft impeller distance should be taken from the bottom of the top shaft
coupling connection to the bottom of the impeller blade.

Figure 3-10. Impeller on shaft
13. After sliding the impeller into position, secure the impeller. Install the head of the bolts on the
underside of the impeller. See the table titled "Fastener Torque (lb-in.)" on page 51 for
proper bolt torque values.
14. For assembly of dual shafts, if the top shaft assemblies have been sent to the site with the
coupling assemblies on both ends, one end will need to be removed to install the impeller.
To remove the coupling, follow step 15 - 19. See Figure 3-8 for top shaft complete with
couplings at both ends.
15. The preservation fluid needs to be removed from the shaft at this stage.
16. The bushing, coupling and shaft are secured together. This connection needs to be broken
by first removing the screws from the coupling/bushing, then inserting two of these screws
into the two jacking bolt holes on the coupling/bushing. Figure 3-11 shows three screws
securing the coupling/bushing assembly. The two jacking bolt holes show no screws.
www.nov.com/brandt
Page 24 of 114
Figure 3-11. Coupling/bushing assembly
17. When removing the coupling from the bushing using the two screws, it is essential to tighten
in the screws evenly. Do not just tighten one screw until it cannot be turned further. This will
damage the bushing and coupling threads. Tighten each a little at a time.
18. Once the connection is broken, the coupling and bushing should slide off the shaft easily.
They might need a slight tap with a rubber mallet to get the bushing moving, but this is all
that it should need. Do not force the coupling and bushing apart.
19. Once the coupling assemblies are apart, complete step 10 - 13 to install the impeller.
20. If the top shaft assembly has been sent to the site with one fixed coupling (similar to Figure
3-9) and the other half of coupling attached to bottom shaft assembly, follow step 10 - 13 to
install the impeller blade, then proceed to step 21 to assemble the bushing/coupling
assembly. The preservation fluid needs to be removed from the shaft at this stage.
The one fixed coupling should not be removed by the user.
21. Once the impeller has been installed, then the coupling/bushing assembly needs to be
replaced onto the shaft in the correct fashion.
22. Ensure the shaft end and coupling/bushing assembly are clean and free from any debris,
rust, grease or oil and the key is inserted into the keyway. See Figure 3-12 and Figure 3-13.

and the two jacking bolt holes line up as in Figure 3-11 and the bushing and coupling are
aligned with the end of the shaft.
24. Ensure the screws are tightened up in an even fashion, going in a clockwise direction, as per
Figure 3-14 and Figure 3-15. Do not just tighten one screw until it cannot be turned further.
This will result in damage to the bushing and coupling threads. Tighten each a little at a time.

25. Once the coupling and bushing are tightened together, the bolts need to be correctly
torqued. See the table titled "Fastener Torque (lb-in.)" on page 51 for proper bolt torque
values. Not tightening the bolts to the specified torque may result in the shaft falling off the
rigid coupling/bushing. Ensure the screws are torqued in an even fashion, going in a
clockwise direction as per Figure 3-16 until torqued to the correct setting.
Figure 3-16. Torque clockwise
26. If the shaft has been assembled outside of the tank then, using the appropriate slinging
arrangement, lower the shaft through deck cut out on top of the tank. If required, the shaft
can be temporarily tied on the side of the tank.
When the agitator is fitted with dual shafts, the lower shaft should be put in the tank first.
27. If the shafts are to be stored after assembly on site, preservation fluid must be applied to
shafts and couplings.
28. The shaft should now be assembled to the rigid coupling under the agitator gearbox as per
Figure 3-17. This half coupling is fixed at the factory and under no circumstances should be
removed by the user without consulting with a field service representative.
29. The stabilizer housing should never be permanently installed to the tank floor until the
agitator and the shaft are installed, properly aligned and bolted down. Failure to follow this
step may result in the shaft falling out of the rigid coupling/bushing.
30. Before installing the stabilizer, make sure the tank floor is suitable to weld the stabilizer. If
not, weld a doubler plate on the tank floor directly underneath the shaft.
31. To install, slide the stabilizer over the bottom of the agitator shaft once the impeller has been
installed but before the agitator is bolted down.
32. The blocks should be removed and the agitator should be secured to the mud tank using the
mount hole pattern shown on the installation drawing, or the unit can be directly welded to
the mud tank (provided necessary risk assessments are agreed and approved).

Page 28 of 114
See the section titled "Bolt Torque Requirements" on page 102 for the correct torque of the
agitator fasteners. The shaft alignment should then be checked by rotating the impeller
through several revolutions manually.
Figure 3-17. Agitator shaft coupling connection
33. Once the agitator shaft is properly aligned, the stabilizer should be positioned so that the
shaft is centered within the stabilizer.
34. In the case of sloping tank bottoms, cut the stabilizer to suit the tank profile.
35. Profiling the stabilizer to suit might result in losing the drain holes on the stabilizer bottom. If
so, similar drain holes must be made on to the stabilizer before welding onto the tank. See
Figure 3-18.

Some contact between shaft and stabilizer is normal during operation, but immediately
correct any hard striking.
Ensure that skid is grounded before welding. Failure to do so can result in electrical
system damage.
Incorrect stabilizer location Correct stabilizer location
Figure 3-20. Stabilizer installation
If correct position of the stabilizer location cannot be achieved:

a. Check the agitator shaft runout. Make sure all connections are flush with no gaps
between the two surfaces.
b. Check for level mounting of the skid base.
c. From the top, check the hubs/shafts for excessive runout. Proper runout can be verified
using a dial indicator at various sections along the shafts and hub connections. High
runout might require replacement of the shaft section or sections.
d. It may be required to reinstall the shaft ensuring that all connecting surfaces are clean,
making good contact and properly torqued.
If water will be used in the tank during start up, the shaft stabilizer should be lubricated with
grease to reduce friction and minimize vibration during start up. Operation with mud does
not require lubrication.
40. Only after these steps are completed and assured that the shaft is centered within the
stabilizer should the stabilizer be permanently secured to the tank floor by means of welding.
41. The shaft should locate into the stabilizer at 50 % of the total height. 75 % is the maximum
and 40 % is the minimum.
42. Check the impeller height and adjust if necessary. Reference step 12 for the correct height.

1. Before locating the agitator on top of the tank, ensure the mounting surface is square and
level.
2. Ensure the support structure is adequately designed to hold the unit and the tank
dimensions are correct as per the general arrangement drawings. It is recommended for the
agitators to be bolted or welded to rigid beams.
3. Ensure access into the tanks is large enough for the shaft assemblies, impeller assemblies
and stabilizers.
4. Place the skid on the foundation and ensure level of the unit. Level check should be
performed on skid main beams as well as on the gearbox housing in both directions. Proper
shimming is required. See the section titled "Lifting and Mounting" on page 17.
5. After shimming, bolt or weld the unit to the foundation.
Ensure that skid is grounded before welding. Failure to do so can result in electrical
system damage.
6. Clean all debris, grease and other contaminants from the coupling faces.
7. Bolt the first pipe spool to the gearbox coupling. Torque the bolts to 40 % of the
recommended torque. Torque the bolts in a series of diagonally opposite pairs. Tighten each
a little at a time up to 40 % of the recommended torque.
8. Check the runout along the pipe spool to observe the trend. See Figure 3-22. Rotate the
shaft by hand. Mark the high and low runout points on the bottom of the pipe by the coupling
weld. Note runout values. See Figure 3-23.
9. Check the runout on the bottom face. See Figure 3-23. Mark the high and low values.

torque the bolts in a series of diagonally opposite pairs to 100 % of the recommended
torque. Refer to the section titled "Bolt Torque Requirements" on page 102 for the correct
torque values for the agitator fasteners.
14. Prepare the impeller hub and the second pipe spool section. Clean all faces.
15. Position the impeller hub the correct way. See Figure 3-25. The impeller hub blades should
be oriented so that the fluid is pushed downward when the agitator is rotating clockwise
when viewed from the top; i.e. the leading edge of the blade will be in the higher position
with the trailing edge in the lower position.
16. Bolt the second pipe spool to the first pipe spool with impeller hub between the two coupling
faces. Torque the bolts to 40 % of recommended value. Torque the bolts in a series of
diagonally opposite pairs. Tighten each a little at a time.
17. Check the runout along the second pipe spool to observe the trend. Mark the high and low
runout points on the bottom of the pipe by the coupling weld.
18. If the runout is adding to the runout of the first pipe spool, rotation of the second pipe is
necessary. Using the markings on the first pipe spool, unbolt the second pipe spool, rotate it
180° and re-bolt it once more to 40 % of the recommended torque.
19. Check the runout once more.

Gearbox and Motor Shaft Alignment

The agitators are aligned at the factory before performance of the Factory Acceptance Test. The
alignment between the shafts should be inspected after installation of the agitator to ensure that
transportation, handling or installation has not caused a misalignment. Poor alignment can result
in increased vibration and failure or decreased service life of the coupling, gearbox or motor
bearings.
Alignment should not be attempted until the base is in position and the mounting and flange bolts
have been tightened.
www.nov.com/brandt
Page 38 of 114
The recommended alignment procedure is to use laser alignment tools or dial indicators. The less
accurate method of measurement using a straight edge can be used in areas where these
alignment tools are not available. The recommended maximum shaft misalignment is specified in
table below.
Alignment method Alignment criteria
Laser alignment 5 mil parallel offset and 1 mil angular misalignment
Indicator alignment 0.010 inches offset and 0.005 inches angular
Straight edge alignment See the table titled "Maximum misalignment using
a straight edge" on page 39
The dial indicator procedure uses the dial indicator attached to one coupling half with the indicator
button resting on the O.D. of the other coupling half to measure offset misalignment. To measure
angular misalignment, the indicator is positioned so that the button rests on the face, near the
O.D., of the other coupling half. Rotate the shaft and dial indicator one full revolution while the
other shaft remains stationary and note the Total Indicator Reading (T.I.R).
Unless otherwise specified by the coupling manufacturer, offset misalignment should be limited to
0.010 inches T.I.R. and angular misalignment should be limited to 0.005 inches T.I.R. Adjust
misalignment by loosening the motor mounting bolts and re-tightening or shimming as required.

In areas where a dial indicator arrangement is not available, an adequate job of alignment can be
done with a straight edge. This method is especially useful if the coupling used contains an all
rubber drive element.
To check offset misalignment, lay the straight edge in line with the shafts on the O.D.'s of the
coupling halves. There should be no gaps under the straight edge. Check 4 locations 90º apart.
There should be no more than specified gap under the straight edge. See the table titled
"Maximum misalignment using a straight edge" on page 39 and Figure 3-32 below.

moisture. Threaded connections, couplings and shafts are coated with a corrosion inhibitor.
If the equipment is to be subjected to prolonged shutdown or storage, take the following steps to
ensure that the unit does not degrade during storage:
 Motors are shipped from the factory pre-lubricated. Rotate the shaft 30 revolutions once
each month to keep the bearings in the motor and gearbox lubricated.
 Place protective caps over all threads to further guard against contamination.
 Keep the temperature as consistent as possible to prevent condensation.
 If the motor is equipped with space heaters, connect them to the appropriate voltage and
frequency.
 If the unit is stored for more than one year, add grease before start up.

Grease the motor every three months or as the motor manufacturer recommends.
Gearbox Oil
The gearbox can be filled with either a conventional mineral oil or a synthetic PAO (Poly Alpha
Olefin) oil depending on the anticipated service temperature range as listed in the table below.
The initial oil fill should be changed at 10,000 hour intervals for the conventional mineral oil. In
practice, change every 12 months depending on operating conditions.
If synthetic oil is used, the interval can be doubled to 20,000 operating hours or every two years.
The companies and oil shown below are typical. Mineral-based gear oils must comply with the
minimum requirements as specified in DIN 51 517 Part 3. The gearboxes are shipped with ISO VG
220 oil, as shown by the oil type label on the gearbox.
When changing the oil, always use the oil grade previously in use. Mixing oils of different grades is
not permissible. In particular, synthetic oil may not be mixed with mineral oils or different synthetic
oils. If the oil type is changed, the gearbox must be flushed thoroughly with the new oil grade.

Routine Maintenance Checklist

The MA-RG Series Agitator is designed for years of dependable service with routine inspection
and maintenance. Additional copies of this checklist should be placed close to the unit for quick
reference.
Startup
1. Check the oil level with the agitator turned off. The oil should be within 1/2 in. (12 mm) of the
bottom of the oil level hole.
Do not overfill.
2. The impeller should rotate clockwise when viewed from top.

3. The oil fill/breather plug must be clear of any obstruction to prevent pressure build-up and
possible seal damage.
4. The agitator should operate with no vibration.
5. Check the rubber insert on the input shaft coupling for wear and cracks.
6. For optimal performance, change the oil after the first five days of operation, particularly if
the unit has been in storage.
Daily
1. Check for oil leaks.
2. Keep the motor clean and ventilation openings clear of mud build-up or other debris.
3. Check the impeller shaft coupling for proper make-up.
Periodic
1. Check the oil level.
2. Lubricate the gearbox input bearing with the approved bearing grease every 5,000 operating
hours. (See the table titled "Formerly Recommended Greases" on page 48.)
Do not over lubricate.
3. Change the oil every 10,000 operating hours. (See the table titled "Recommended Oils" on
page 49.)
4. Lubricate the motor every three months or as the motor manufacturer recommends.
Do not over grease.
