TRP APPLICATION ON FERROUS COMPONENTS OF DIFFERENT PRODUCTS
1. SCOPE:
1.1 The standard covers the selection and applications of Temporary Rust Preventives (TRP)
for different products & their components during production, before despatch and at site.
1.2 This standard supersedes the old company standard and other Product Standards/
The information on this document is the property of BHARAT HEAVY ELECTRICALS LIMITED.
documents made on the subject.

It must not be used directly or indirectly in any way detrimental to the interest of the company.
2. GENERAL:
The effectiveness of TRP depends on the following aspects:
2.1 Selection of proper TRP.

Copyright and Confidential
2.2 Proper preparation of the surface to be protected. Refer plant standard HY 067 41 66.
2.3 Application of TRP – Under normal atmospheric conditions, corrosion of machined

surfaces starts as soon as they are accessible to moisture, air etc. Hence it is necessary to
apply rust preventive immediately after the machining of surfaces.
2.4 TRP – Reference on manufacturing & erection instructions/drgs. wherever necessary by

Engg.
3. SELECTION OF TRPs:
The list of rationalized TRPs, is given in Annexure - I. This covers various types, method
of application, durability of protection, equivalent brands etc.
4. SURFACE PREPARATION: (For details refer plant std HY0674166)
Before application of TRPs, it is necessary to ensure that the surfaces are free from rust,
dust, dirt, grease, oil etc. The effectiveness of TRP depends on the cleanliness of the
surface.

5. TRP APPLICATION:
5.1 The application of TRPs is classified in Annexure II keeping in view the finish and the
extent of protection required.
5.2 The details of components against each category of application are given productwise in
the Annexure III.
6. PRECAUTIONS FOR APPLICATION:
6.1 The TRP shall be stirred well in the original container so as to make a homogenous
mixture of its constituents.
6.2 The container, brush, cloth to be used for application of TRP shall be clean. The
container and the brush shall be washed with white spirit, for the next operation.
6.3 Preservative shall be applied in closed premises not later than 3-5 hours after cleaning

and degreasing. Application shall not be done in humid atmosphere and during sharp
changes in temperature, which may cause sweating.
6.4 Care shall be taken to see that the preservative coating is uniform and without overflow
or gaps, bald spots, and flows in. Each subsequent layer shall be coated after the
preceding one dries up completely.
6.5 The quality of preservative layer shall be checked by visual inspection for uniform coat.
Any defect observed shall be immediately rectified.
7. DURABILITY OF PRESERVATION:
The durability of preservation varies from 6 months to 1 year depending on the category
of TRP application refer Annexure–I. After this period, it is necessary to inspect the
preserved parts and if necessary carry out re-preservation after cleaning and making the
surfaces free from corrosion, if any.
8. DETAILS OF REPRESERVATION TECHNIQUES:
8.1 The earlier coating shall be removed by using white spirit.
8.2 Rust if any shall be removed with fine emery paper. Care shall be taken to see that
precision machined surfaces like Journal surfaces shall not be damaged during this
operation.
8.3 Surfaces prepared for re-preservation shall not be touched by hand.
8.4 The duration of re-preservation shall be as per the durability of protection specified in
Annexure I. After drying, re-preservation shall be carried out in accordance with clause

9. DEPRESERVATION BEFORE ASSEMBLY / ERECTION:
9.1 Depreservation of the various parts shall be done during Assembly/erection period as and
when necessary.
9.2 Depreservation of parts consists of removal of TRP coatings from all the machined
surfaces with white spirit.
9.3 Degreasing or cleaning of any forged components like rotors, blades, shafts etc., shall not
be done with Chlorinated Solvents like Carbon Tetrachloride.
Preservative Instruction to Site:
1. This standard on preservation of different products and components shall be followed.
2. As soon as the components are received at site, they should be examined for rupture of
TRP film, VCI paper and development of rust, if any. Patch work wherever necessary
should be done with the TRP system.
3. The components should be stored in such a way that TRP film does not get damaged.
4. The surface of TRP coated components shall be examined for damage and corrosion
spots regularly.
5. Represervation shall be followed as per the Tag attached to the component.
6. Inspect coated and wrapped surfaces. If coating or wrapping appears to have been
removed during shipping clean and re-wrap or coat as applicable.
7. Inspect shafts for adequate preservative and add a heavy film of valvoline TECTYL
894 or Equivalent as necessary.
8. Rotate the Rotors a few revolutions every month and ensure that the bearings are
packed with grease.

3. DESCRIPTION :
3.1 Pump Casing :
The cast steel pump casing is of the double volute type, split on the horizontal
center line. The top and bottom half casing are located to each other by dowel pins
and secured by the studs and nuts, sealing at the axial split being effected by a
two-ply brown paper joint.
The bottom half pump casing has the suction and discharge branches and support
feet, cast integrally.
The pump casing is machined internally to accept the casing rings and stuffing
boxes are also formed at each end of the casing to accommodate the water
jackets and the mechanical seals, thus preventing leakage along the pump shaft.
The interface of the casing and base plate supports is near the shaft axis. Dowels
and a guide key are arranged to maintain longitudinal and transverse alignments
whilst accommodating thermal expansion.
A tapped air vent connection is provided on the top half casing. Connections are
also provided on the suction and discharge branches for pressure gauges and a
drain.
3.2 Rotating Assembly :
The rotating assembly consists of the shaft, impellers, nuts, keys, seal sleeves,
thrust collar, the rotating parts of the mechanical seals and pump half coupling.
The double entry impeller is keyed to the shaft and is located axially by an impeller
nut on each side of the impeller hub. The impeller is fitted with a wear ring on each
shroud, the rings being retained by grub screws.
The seal sleeves are keyed to the shaft and are located and secured by grub
screws. Leakage between the shaft and sleeve is prevented by an ‘O’ ring fitted in a
groove machined in the bore of the sleeve. The thrust collar is keyed to the shaft
and is secured against a shoulder on the shaft by the thrust collar nut. The pump
half coupling is keyed to the tapered end of the shaft and is secured by a coupling
nut, locked by a lock screw.
3.3 Journal and Thrust Bearings :
The rotating assembly is supported at each end of the shaft by a white

metal lined journal bearing and the residual axial thrust is taken up by a tilting pad
double thrust bearing mounted at the non-drive end of the pump.
The journal bearing shells are of mild steel, white metal lined, thick wall type, and
are split on the horizontal plane through the shaft axis. Each bearing is prevented
from rotating by a dowel pin located in a recess in the top half bearing housing.
The thrust bearing is fitted at the non-drive end of the pump and has eight titling
pads in a split carrier ring on each slide of a thrust collar, which is keyed to the
pump shaft and secured by a nut and lock-washer. The carrier rings are held in
non-drive end bearing housing and are prevented from turning with the thrust
collar by dowels locating in slots in the top half of the housing. The thrust pads are
retained on the carrier rings by special pad stops screwed into the rings. Machined
spacers are fitted behind each carrier ring during manufacturer to effect the axial
running position of the rotating assembly. The thrust bearing is provided with for
resistance temperature detectors.
A split floating oil seal is fitted in a groove in the housing to maintain a level of
lubricating oil with in the housing, around the thrust bearing, when the pump is
stopped. The floating seal is prevented from turning by an anti-rotation pin fitted in
a slot in the bottom half of the housing. An orifice plug fitted at the thrust bearing
lubricating oil outlet ensures a flooded bearing housing when the pump is
stationary. The bearing are supplied with lubricating oil from the forced lubricating
oil system.
For further information on the bearings references should be made to be bearing

manufacturer’s instructions at Chapter 4.
3.4 Bearing Housings :
The bearing housings are in the form of cylindrical castings, split horizontally,
secured to each bracket, by set screws and dowels located. Each housing is
provided with lubricating oil inlet and outlet connections, vent connections and
instrument entry points.
The top and the bottom halves of the drive end bearing housings are secured
together by studs and nuts, and the housing is closed at the drive end by a cover
plate. An oil retaining shield at each end of the housing prevents oil leakage from
the housing when the pump is running.
The top and the bottom halves of the non-drive end bearing housing are secured
together by studs and nuts and located by dowel pins. Leakage of lubricating oil
from the non-drive end bearing housing is prevented by an oil retaining shield in
the in board side of the housing and by a bearing housing end cover and joint
secured to the out board side of the housing by hexagon head screws.
3.5 Mechanical seals :
The drive and non-drive end seal cooling jackets are fitted with mechanical seals mounted
on seal sleeves and located within seal cooling jackets.
The cooling jacket, which provides a heat soak barrier between the pump casing and the
mechanical seal, is continuously flushed with cooling water from an external source.
A pumping ring incorporated in the mechanical seal pumps a supply of boiler feed
water through a heat exchanger in a closed circuit, thus keeping the seal circuit
temperature at approximately 60°C.
For further information on the mechanical seals reference should be made to the
manufacturer's instructions at chapter 4.
3.6 Driver / pump coupling :
The drive from the driver to the pump shaft is transmitted through a spacer flexible
coupling.

CHAPTER – 3
1. INTRODUCTION :
It is recommended that a system of routine inspection be established by

which the condition of the pump can be determined and recorded for comparison
with later inspections. Any defects should be repaired or the components renewed
at the earliest opportunity. Certain inspections can only be made when the pump is
shut down, but others can be made under operating conditions.
A high degree of cleanliness of each pump and of the surrounding areas

should be maintained, as this will assist in the early detection of minor leaks or
defects which, if unnoticed, could lead to more serious operational or maintenance
problems.
1.1 Periodic and preventive Maintenance
The pump performance should be used as the criterion for the need to
renew wearing parts. The pump may deteriorate due to excessive leakage past
the impeller / casing wear rings, or vibration may indicate that the wear rings or
bearings are worn.
Note : The recommended renewal clearances are 1.5 times the clearances shown
on the Sectional Arrangement Drawing HY-DG-188-139-0017. If the pump
performance has declined it may be necessary to renew the wearing parts
before the recommended clearances are reached.
1.2 Routine Checks :
It is essential that the routine checks given in the operating instructions for
the pressure stage pump are carried out regularly. The checks concerned with the
mechanical condition of the pump are repeated here for the convenience of the
maintenance engineers.
1.2.1 Periodic Checks :
It is recommended that the following checks are carried out regular

intervals.
(1) Check that the suction and discharge pressure are normal.
(2) Check that the pump bearing lubricating oil pressures and temperatures
are normal.
(3) Check for leakage from the mechanical seals.
(4) Check all joints for leakage.
(5) Check for any undue noise or vibration.
(6) Carry out visual check on all keeps and fastenings, playing particular
attender to the holding-down bolts.
Note : Reference should also be made to the manufacturer’s instructions in

1.6 Drawings, diagrams
Assembly drawing 09-H75F2/100-EX1 (drive end)
The assembly drawing in the original scale and in its latest edition (latest revision)
only is decisive for the design and the use in connection with this manual.
In the following description all figures in parentheses, e.g. (2) define the respective
part item no. in the assembly drawing.
1.7 Description and function
Single, balanced mechanical seal (M.S.) for boiler feed pumps.
Together with the housing parts (6.4A,16A) supplied the seal forms a pre-mounted
unit (seal cartridge), assembled at works, ready to be installed without any
adjustment.
Assembly fixtures (9) are provide for holding the cartridge in one piece during
transport, storage, assembly and disassembly.
The seal face (1.1) is loaded by means of multiple springs (1.4). It is arranged
rotating on the shaft sleeve.
The seat (2) is mounted in a cover (4A) and arranged Stationary.
Due to the integrated dual pumping screw at Drive collar (1.5A), Labyrinth Ring
(16A) and pumping sleeve in cover (4A) the seal cartridge is un-directional.
Torque transmission from mechanical seal to the shaft by means of a key.
Axial fixing of the shaft sleeve (6) by means of set screw (12a)
1.8 Required space, connecting dimensions
The connecting dimensions of the mechanical seal were checked and approved by
the customer on the main drawing.
The available mounting space given by the machine was decisive for the design of
the housing parts of mechanical seal. The connecting dimensions are checked
before shipment with regard to the BURGMANN drawing.
1.9 Power requirements

The total power consumption of the mechanical seal under the considerable
influence of the turbulence losses of the rotating seal parts has been calculated for
the individual application. To ensure a safe operation the required quantity of
circulated liquid will be individually determined by the seal manufacturer by
modifying the pumping device in the mechanical seal.
The total calculated power consumption of one seal cartridge is approx. 17.4 KW.
The pump manufacturer has to take this additional load into consideration when
designing the drive.
1.10 Additional equipment
For a safe operation of the mechanical seal a circulation circuit is required, from the
seal through a heat exchanger (if necessary, also through an additional magnetic
separator or filter ) back to the seal, as described in API 610, plan 23. When the
shaft rotates the liquid is circulated by a pumping device in the mechanical seal.
Jacket cooling of the stuffing box is provide in the pump and should be operated for
reasons of longer service life.
Safe operation can be expected when observing the following seal circuit
temperatures, measured at seal outlet :
• warning temperature : 55° C
• shut-off temperature : 65° C
• standstill temperature : 75° C
1.11 Emissions
A mechanical seal is dynamic seal that cannot be free of leakage due to physical
and technical reasons. Seal design, manufacture tolerance, operating conditions,
running quality of the machine etc. Mainly define the leakage value. In fact,
compared to other sealing systems (e.g. packings) there is few leakage.
Small seal leakage is desirable and admissible, because of longer operating life of
mechanical seal. If however, leakage exceeds a value of 8 litres per hour, the seal
is damaged . It has to be replaced.
Hot medium or even steam may splash out if the seal fails. Personal injury may be
prevented by the user providing for splash protection and wearing safety goggles.
Care has to be taken by the user for proper disposal of the leakage.
Components which may get in contact with the leakage have to be erosion
resistant or have to be adequately protected.

2. SAFETY NOTES
Any person at the user’s shop being involved in assembly, disassembly, start up,
operation and maintenance of the BURGMANN Mechanical Seal must have read
and understood this instruction Manual and in particular the safety notes we
recommended the user to have this confirmed.
BURGMANN Mechanical seals are manufactured on high quality level and they
keep a high working reliability. Yet, if they are not operated within their intended
purpose or handled by untrained personnel they may cause risks.
The user is asked to check as part of his security program what effect a failure of
the mechanical seal might have on the environment and what additional safety
measures have to be taken to prevent personal injury.
Any operation mode that affects the operational safety of the mechanical seal is not
permitted.
The pump must be positioned in a way that no persons are endangered if product
splashes out in case of seal failure. Leakage of product has to be disposed
properly.
BURGMANN mechanical seals must be operated maintained or repaired by

authorized, trained and instructed personnel only.
Any work to be done on the mechanical seal is only permitted when the seal is
neither operating nor pressurized.
The responsibilities for the respective jobs to be done have to be determined

clearly and observed in order to prevent unclear competencies form the point of
security.
Apart from the notes given in this manual the general regulations for worker’s
protection and those for prevention of accidents have to be observed.
Unauthorized modifications or alterations are not permitted as they affect the

operational safety of the mechanical seal.
3. TRANSPORT, STORAGE, INSTALLATION
3.1 Recommendation for transport and storage
PACKING AND SHIPMENT

If not specified differently in the order the BURGMANN standard packaging is used,
suited for dry transport by truck, train or plane. The signs and notes for handling on
the packaging have to be observed.
In addition seaworthy packing may become necessary.
STORAGE AND PRESERVATION
• Range of validity
The following recommendations apply to all BURGMANN Mechanical Seals which

have been supplied and stored in their undamaged original packing as well as to
seals which have been installed in a component of a plant (e.g pump, compressor,
agitator, etc.) but have not yet been put into operation.
• General
BURGMANN mechanical seals for components of power plants are super finished
and tested machine elements whose handling during the erecting and start-up
period of a power plant as well as during the storage period (in particular of spare
parts) entails certain measures to keep the full efficiency of the seals.
Sliding materials and elastomers are subject to material-specific and time-based

alterations (distortion, aging) which might reduce the full efficiency of the seals.
Yet, such processes must not occur automatically.
The mechanical seal may be stored welded onto vapour-safe plastics sheets by
adding a drying agent e.g. “SILICAGEL”.
Damages caused by improper storage may not be claimed on the BURGMANN

company with reference to their warranty.
INSTALLED BURGMANN – M.S.
Components of power plants which are equipped with BURGMANN mechanical

seals are usually delivered in a completely mounted state. Often the parts were
tested at works beforehand.
• Start-up at the power plant
For the start up of BURGMANN mechanical seals as well as of possible

accessories extra instructions have to be observed which consider the respective
conditions.
New product plants often have erection times of up to 10 years. In such cases the
period between the production of the M.S. and its installation and start-up may
exceed the usual period of approximately 2-3 years.
BURGMANN recommend to disassemble such seals in time before the planned
start-up of the components of power plant and to sent the seals to the manufacturer
or the nearest BURGMANN service centre where they can be checked and
reconditioned, if necessary.
If this is not possible for primary reasons (distance, dispatch conditions, etc.) other
companies (never other seal manufacturers!) may be charged if they are suitably
equipped and have the know-how required. Yet, BURGMANN’S confirmation for
recognition as safe is absolutely necessary in particular with regard to claims under
warranty.
• Preservation in case of installation
Check in case of a preservation of complete plants with mechanical seals installed
• The compatibility of the chosen preservation agent with the seal materials and
with elastomers.
• No impairment of the seal’s axial movability by conglutination or by gumming.
We recommend to dry the seal parts after the preceding functional test and to
keep them dry when being installed. Values of < 50 % relative humidity are
considered as dry condition. If there are uncertainties as to the correct proceeding
please contact BURGMANN.
STORAGE OF BURGMANN-M.S.
Premises
The mechanical seals have to be stored in dry, dust free, moderately ventilated and
tempered rooms. We recommend relative air humidity below 65 % temperature
between 15°C and 25°C.
Direct exposure of the mechanical seal to heat (sun, heating) as well as to oxone,
present or produced by ultraviolet light (halogen of fluorescent lamps), must be
avoided because of the risk of embrittlement of elastomer materials.
Handling
Store the seals in their original packing lying on a flat surface.
Thus a protection from shocks and from damage of edges is provided.
For storage the mechanical seal is welded into vapour-safe plastic sheets by
adding the drying agent “ SILICAGEL ”. Thus the humidity inside the packaging is
stabilized.
The packaging should be periodically checked for damage.

An easy control of the package contents is provide due to the transparent
polyethylene sheet as well as by the attached package list or the package label.
Check the mechanical seal :
After a storage period of approximately 2-3 years.
After a damage of the packing
After a shock on the mechanical seal (e.g. by dropping the packed seal)
At the manufacturer’s or at the nearest service centre.
If necessary, a different, evident component authority may be contacted. Yet,

BURGMANN must be informed about this fact, as BURGAMANN’s confirmation for
recognition as a safe is absolutely necessary.
NOTE : An installation of the M.S. is possible if the prescribed checks cannot

be carried out for special reasons, yet, only if the seal parts have no
visible damages.
BURMANN must be informed about this kind of installation. Otherwise a warranty

as to leakage and/or operational reliability will be refused by BURGMANN.
A possibly increased leakage during start-up will decrease to a normal quantity
after the running in period of the sliding faces.
If this is not the case or if there are other malfunctions the mechanical seal has to
be shut down, removed and checked for reasons of safety.
If there is a malfunction which you cannot correct on your own, or if the cause of
malfunction is not clearly recognizable please immediately contact the nearest
BURGMANN agency, a BURGMANN service centre or the BURGMANN
headquarters.
• Control of humidity inside the packaging
All water vapour-proof sheets inside the package are supplied with humidity
indicators which show the relative air humidity inside the packaging. On a scale the
colour changes from blue (=dry) to pink (=humid).
For check of the stored mechanical seals which should be carried out periodically
and should be recorded in-plant the following points have to be observed :
• Humidity is indicated with values > 50% rel. humidity :
⇒ Contact BURGMANN as a control of the seal and new packaging is necessary.
• Humidity is indicated with values < 50% rel. humidity, yet the storage period of
2-3 years is exceeded.
3.2 Preparation for assembly
Check the parts of the machine for :
• Chamfered edges (sliding cones i.e. 30°/2 mm or in accordance with DIN

24960).
• radiused transmissions
• Mating fits and O-ring surfaces: fine finished Rz 10 µm (=N7=CLA 63).
• Shaft surface in the area of the M.S.: fine finished Rmax. 5 µm (=N6=CLA 32)
Check at the machine :
• Damage of connecting surfaces to the M.S.
• Mating dimensions, rectangularity and concentricity to the shaft axis.
• Direction of rotation must comply with the seal drawing, otherwise contact
BURGMANN immediately.
• Insert a parallel key into the groove provided.
• Lubricate the shaft slightly in the area of the seal.
Elastomers made of EP-rubber must never come into contact with

lubricants on the base of material oil (swelling, decomposition)

1.6 Drawings, diagrams
Assembly drawing 09-H75F2/100-EX2 (Non-drive end)
The assembly drawing in the original scale and in its latest edition (latest revision)
only is decisive for the design and the use in connection with this manual.
In the following description all figures in parentheses, e.g. (2) define the respective
part item no. in the assembly drawing.
1.7 Description and function
Single, balanced mechanical seal (M.S.) for boiler feed pumps.
Together with the housing parts (6.4B,16B) supplied the seal forms a pre-mounted
unit (seal cartridge), assembled at works, ready to be installed without any
adjustment.
Assembly fixtures (9) are provide for holding the cartridge in one piece during
transport, storage, assembly and disassembly.
The seal face (1.1) is loaded by means of multiple springs (1.4). It is arranged
rotating on the shaft sleeve.
The seat (2) is mounted in a cover (4B) and arranged Stationary.
Due to the integrated dual pumping screw at Drive collar (1.5B), Labyrinth Ring
(16B) and pumping sleeve in cover (4B) the seal cartridge is un-directional.
Torque transmission from mechanical seal to the shaft by means of a key.
Axial fixing of the shaft sleeve (6) by means of set screw (12a)
1.8 Required space, connecting dimensions
The connecting dimensions of the mechanical seal were checked and approved by
the customer on the main drawing.
The available mounting space given by the machine was decisive for the design of
the housing parts of mechanical seal. The connecting dimensions are checked
before shipment with regard to the BURGMANN drawing.
1.9 Power requirements

The total power consumption of the mechanical seal under the considerable
influence of the turbulence losses of the rotating seal parts has been calculated for
the individual application. To ensure a safe operation the required quantity of
circulated liquid will be individually determined by the seal manufacturer by
modifying the pumping device in the mechanical seal.
The total calculated power consumption of one seal cartridge is approx. 17.4 KW.
The pump manufacturer has to take this additional load into consideration when
designing the drive.
1.10 Additional equipment
For a safe operation of the mechanical seal a circulation circuit is required, from the
seal through a heat exchanger (if necessary, also through an additional magnetic
separator or filter ) back to the seal, as described in API 610, plan 23. When the
shaft rotates the liquid is circulated by a pumping device in the mechanical seal.
Jacket cooling of the stuffing box is provide in the pump and should be operated for
reasons of longer service life.
Safe operation can be expected when observing the following seal circuit
• warning temperature : 55° C
• shut-off temperature : 65° C
• standstill temperature : 75° C
1.11 Emissions
A mechanical seal is dynamic seal that cannot be free of leakage due to physical
and technical reasons. Seal design, manufacture tolerance, operating conditions,
running quality of the machine etc. Mainly define the leakage value. In fact,
compared to other sealing systems (e.g. packings) there is few leakage.
Small seal leakage is desirable and admissible, because of longer operating life of
mechanical seal. If however, leakage exceeds a value of 8 litres per hour, the seal
is damaged . It has to be replaced.
Hot medium or even steam may splash out if the seal fails. Personal injury may be
prevented by the user providing for splash protection and wearing safety goggles.
Care has to be taken by the user for proper disposal of the leakage.
Components which may get in contact with the leakage have to be erosion
resistant or have to be adequately protected.

2. SAFETY NOTES
Any person at the user’s shop being involved in assembly, disassembly, start up,
operation and maintenance of the BURGMANN Mechanical Seal must have read
and understood this instruction Manual and in particular the safety notes we
recommended the user to have this confirmed.
BURGMANN Mechanical seals are manufactured on high quality level and they
keep a high working reliability. Yet, if they are not operated within their intended
purpose or handled unexpertly by untrained personnel they may cause risks.
The user is asked to check as part of his security program what effect a failure of
the mechanical seal might have on the environment and what additional safety
measures have to be taken to prevent personal injury.
Any operation mode that affects the operational safety of the mechanical seal is not
permitted.
The pump must be positioned in a way that no persons are endangered if product
splashes out in case of seal failure. Leakage of product has to be disposed
properly.
BURGMANN mechanical seals must be operated maintained or repaired by

authorized, trained and instructed personnel only.
The responsibilities for the respective jobs to be done have to be determined

clearly and observed in order to prevent unclear competencies form the point of
security
Apart from the notes given in this manual the general regulations for worker’s
protection and those for prevention of accidents have to be observed.
Unauthorized modifications or alterations are not permitted as they affect the

operational safety of the mechanical seal.
3. TRANSPORT, STORAGE, INSTALLATION
3.1 Recommendation for transport and storage
PACKING AND SHIPMENT

If not specified differently in the order the BURGMANN standard packaging is used,
suited for dry transport by truck, train or plane. The signs and notes for handling on
the packaging have to be observed.
In addition seaworthy packing may become necessary.
STORAGE AND PRESERVATION
• Range of validity
The following recommendations apply to all BURGMANN Mechanical Seals which

have been supplied and stored in their undamaged original packing as well as to
seals which have been installed in a component of a plant (e.g pump, compressor,
agitator, etc.) but have not yet been put into operation.
• General
BURGMANN mechanical seals for components of power plants are super finished
and tested machine elements whose handling during the erecting and start-up
period of a power plant as well as during the storage period (in particular of spare
parts) entails certain measures to keep the full efficiency of the seals.
Sliding materials and elastomers are subject to material-specific and time-based

alterations (distortion, aging) which might reduce the full efficiency of the seals.
Yet, such processes must not occur automatically
.
The mechanical seal may be stored welded onto vapour-safe plastics sheets by
adding a drying agent e.g. “SILICAGEL”.
Damages caused by improper storage may not be claimed on the BURGMANN

company with reference to their warranty.
INSTALLED BURGMANN – M.S.
Components of power plants which are equipped with BURGMANN mechanical

seals are usually delivered in a completely mounted state. Often the parts were
tested at works beforehand.
• Start-up at the power plant
For the start up of BURGMANN mechanical seals as well as of possible

accessories extra instructions have to be observed which consider the respective
conditions.
New product plants often have erection times of up to 10 years. In such cases the
period between the production of the M.S. and its installation and start-up may
exceed the usual period of approximately 2-3 years.
BURGMANN recommend to disassemble such seals in time before the planned

start-up of the components of power plant and to sent the seals to the manufacturer
or the nearest BURGMANN service centre where they can be checked and
reconditioned, if necessary.
If this is not possible for primary reasons (distance, dispatch conditions, etc.) other
companies (never other seal manufacturers!) may be charged if they are suitably
equipped and have the know-how required. Yet, BURGMANN’S confirmation for
recognition as safe is absolutely necessary in particular with regard to claims under
warranty.
• Preservation in case of installation
Check in case of a preservation of complete plants with mechanical seals installed
• the compatibility of the chosen preservation agent with the seal materials and
with elastomers.
• No impairment of the seal’s axial movability by conglutination or by gumming.
We recommend to dry the seal parts after the preceding functional test and to
keep them dry when being installed. Values of < 50 % relative humidity are
considered as dry condition. If there are uncertainties as to the correct proceeding
please contact BURGMANN.
STORAGE OF BURGMANN-M.S.
Premises
The mechanical seals have to be stored in dry, dust free, moderately ventilated and
tempered rooms. We recommend relative air humidity below 65 % temperature
between 15°C and 25°C.
Direct exposure of the mechanical seal to heat (sun, heating) as well as to oxone,
present or produced by ultraviolet light (halogen of fluorescent lamps), must be
avoided because of the risk of embrittlement of elastomer materials.
Handling
• Store the seals in their original packing lying on a flat surface.
Thus a protection from shocks and from damage of edges is provided.

For storage the mechanical seal is welded into vapour-safe plastic sheets by
adding the drying agent “ SILICAGEL ”. Thus the humidity inside the packaging is
stabilized.
The packaging should be periodically checked for damage.
An easy control of the package contents is provide due to the transparent

polyethylene sheet as well as by the attached package list or the package label.
Check the mechanical seal :
• after a storage period of approximately 2-3 years.
• after a damage of the packing
• after a shock on the mechanical seal (e.g. by dropping the packed seal)
at the manufacturer’s or at the nearest service centre.
If necessary, a different, evident component authority may be contacted. Yet,

BURGMANN must be informed about this fact, as BURGAMANN’s confirmation for
recognition as a safe is absolutely necessary.
NOTE : An installation of the M.S. is possible if the prescribed checks cannot

be carried out for special reasons, yet, only if the seal parts have no
visible damages.
BURMANN must be informed about this kind of installation. Otherwise a warranty

as to leakage and/or operational reliability will be refused by BURGMANN.
A possibly increased leakage during start-up will decrease to a normal quantity

after the running in period of the sliding faces.
If this is not the case or if there are other malfunctions the mechanical seal has to
be shut down, removed and checked for reasons of safety.
BURGMANN agency, a BURGMANN service centre or the BURGMANN
headquarters.
• Control of humidity inside the packaging
All water vapour-proof sheets inside the package are supplied with humidity
indicators which show the relative air humidity inside the packaging. On a scale the
colour changes from blue (=dry) to pink (=humid).
For check of the stored mechanical seals which should be carried out periodically
and should be recorded in-plant the following points have to be observed :
• Humidity is indicated with values > 50% rel. humidity :
• Humidity is indicated with values < 50% rel. humidity, yet the storage period of
2-3 years is exceeded.
3.2 Preparation for assembly
Check the parts of the machine for :
• Chamfered edges (sliding cones i.e. 30°/2 mm or in accordance with DIN

24960).
• radiused transmissions
• Mating fits and O-ring surfaces: fine finished Rz 10 µm (=N7=CLA 63).
• Shaft surface in the area of the M.S.: fine finished Rmax. 5 µm (=N6=CLA 32)
Check at the machine :
• Damage of connecting surfaces to the M.S.
• Mating dimensions, rectangularity and concentricity to the shaft axis.
• Direction of rotation must comply with the seal drawing, otherwise contact
BURGMANN immediately.
• Insert a parallel key into the groove provided.
• Lubricate the shaft slightly in the area of the seal.
Elastomers made of EP-rubber must never come into contact with

lubricants on the base of material oil (swelling, decomposition)

OT Omega Thrust Ring Assembly With Shim Pack, And Liners

1. Introduction
1.1 About the Product
The “Omega” Series Thrust Rings supplied are part of a standard range of components
manufactured by Michell Bearings. The thrust rings are intended to be fitted within a casing
supplied by a customer. Depending on the demands specified, the thrust rings will be
designed to absorb:
a) A constant load along the shaft in one direction.

b) A constant load along the shaft in either direction.
c) A constant load in one direction and a temporary load in the opposite direction.
Within the “Omega” Series a range of sizes are catered for. All “Omega” thrust rings require
continuous lubrication from a pumped oil supply. In some cases, the thrust rings will have
machined oil channels and in other cases restriction jet holes.
The system of restriction holes is known as ‘Low Loss’ lubrication and will give lower power
losses than conventional fully immersed rings.
In order to measure pad temperature, Resistance Temperature Devices (RTDs) can be fitted
to a number of pads specified by the customer.

3. Handling the Bearing
3.1 General
This section outlines essential information, which must be referred to when handling the thrust
rings.
• The thrust rings are supplied fully assembled (see arrangement drawing for mass of
complete bearing).
• Omega “OT” Series thrust rings are not usually fitted with lifting holes. A complete ring
may be lifted using straps or slings.
• When transporting the bearing, it should remain in its packaging.
• Make sure thrust rings are stored in the intended mounting position, in a dry room only.
Please check all product equipment to ensure that it is complete before installation. Any
damage due to transit must be reported to Michell immediately.
• See Section 8 for instructions on how to disassemble the bearing.
! Before using any lifting equipment, ensure that it is certified to carry a load
greater than that of the bearing or component.
Take care not to damage bearing components and the running surfaces of the
shaft collar by contact with the lifting equipment.
! If in doubt, always use mechanical devices where possible. Remember to

bend the knees and not the back when lifting manually.
8
4. Preparation for First Installation
• All Omega “OT’’ Series thrust rings are supplied complete. All thrust rings are, for ease of
assembly, capable of being split in two halves. If the rings supplied are to be split the
RTDs and their cabling should be removed prior to this.
• Remove all packaging.
• Refer to Sections 2 and 3 for safety and handling instructions.
• Dismantle the bearing referring to Section 8, ignoring any references to the shaft or
machine.
• When dismantled, please check all product equipment to ensure that it is complete before
installation. Any damage due to transit must be reported to Michell Bearings immediately.
• All parts are coated in a rust preventative. This must be removed and all parts thoroughly
cleaned before installation begins. To remove the rust preventative, white spirit or a strong
spirit based cleaner should be used. Note! Do not use paraffin (Kerosene).
• It is recommended that the bearing casing and all other internal parts are cleaned to
prevent dirt getting between the collar and the thrust rings.
If the thrust rings are being fitted into a bearing that has previously been
used, ensure that the lubricating pipes have been cleaned to remove any deposits. If
there is any dirt in the lubricating system it will damage the new parts fitted.
! There may be fumes given off during the cleaning process. Clean parts in a
well-ventilated area. Always follow cleaner manufacturers’ instructions.
Use a lint free cloth when cleaning the bearing. Particles from other cloths
could otherwise get into the lubricating oil and cause overheating, and in extreme
cases, failure of the bearing.
• Once all parts are inspected and cleaned the bearing is ready for installation.
• Refer to Section 10 if the bearings are to be stored for a period of time before operation.

same time as each thrust ring assembly.
• Horizontal Bearings: Fit the lower half of the thrust ring(s).
• Vertical bearings: Fit the entire lower thrust ring.
Care should be taken when handling the components to avoid the risk of
trapping hands when assembling.
• Lower the shaft, complete with collar into the bearing.
• Horizontal Bearings: Fit the top half of the thrust ring(s), either onto the top of the lower
ring, or into the top half casing. Secure the ring with stops.
• Horizontal bearings: Rotate the thrust ring around until the stop (5) engages in the casing,
if half the ring is secured into the top half of the casing, ensure that the bottom half is flush
with the casing joint and complete assembly.
• Vertical Bearings: Fit upper thrust ring and secure in place with stop (5).
• Check the bearing alignment, and complete assembly.
11
5.3.1 Miscellaneous
• Where applicable, connect up oil inlet and outlet.
• Connect external pipework.
5.3.2 Instrumentation
• Fit RTDs and instrumentation as necessary.
Ensure that temperature probe assembly is not damaged and is working

correctly before fitting it.
Check that the bearing is complete and is fully sealed.

• For temperature probe fitted bearings; run the bearing and establish a steady state
operating temperature then set temperature alarm to 5°C above the steady state operating
temperature. Shut down temperature alarm is to be set at 10°C above steady state
operating temperature.
! Note! Prior to running the bearing EC regulation state: - The entire machine
has received a Declaration of Conformity, or has been declared exempt from the
Supply of Machinery (Safety Regulations) Act 1992 and the Machinery Directive.
Where applicable
! Do not use the bearing unless the lubricating system is operating.

It must be emphasised that any declaration of incorporation issued by
Michell Bearings is for the thrust rings and their components and not for
the entire bearing.
The bearing is now complete; it must not be used until the below items
have been dealt with;
1. Lubricating oil has been passed though the bearing.
2. The lubricating oil must be a mineral based turbine oil inhibited
against oxidation, corrosion and foaming, with an ISO viscosity grade
as indicated on the arrangement drawing.
The use of any other oil should be referred to Michell Bearings.

Ensure that RTD assembly is not damaged and is working correctly before
fitting.
! Always follow sealant manufacturers’ instructions.

• Where applicable retighten external oil supply connections.
• Fill Bearing with oil or start oil system as described in Section 7.4.
Check:
1. That the oil quantity at bearing oil inlet is as specified by Michell Bearings, where
applicable.
2. That the temperature monitoring equipment works.
• The bearing is now ready for operation. It must not be used until the below items have
been dealt with:
1. The entire installation has received a Declaration of Conformity, or has been declared
exempt from the Supply of Machinery (Safety Regulations) Act 1992 and the Machinery
Directive.
3. Local safety regulations have been met.
6.2 Trial Run
• For temperature probe fitted bearings, run the bearing and establish a steady state
operating temperature. Set temperature alarm to 5°C above this steady state operating
temperature. Shut down temperature alarm should be set at 10°C above steady state
• Supervise the bearing during the trial run period (approx. 5-10 operating hours).
• Pay special attention to the following:
1. Oil flow rate and oil inlet pressure in circulating oil system (where applicable)
2. Bearing temperature
3. Occurrence of inadmissible vibrations.
4. Unusual noises or odours
13
• If any or all of the above cause concern, or if the monitoring equipment triggers an alarm,
stop the machine immediately and carry out an inspection of the bearing to find the cause.
6.3 Normal Operation
! Do not touch any moving parts.

• If the bearing has been correctly assembled using the procedure already given, there is
only a marginal risk of the bearing failing which would normally be due to inadmissible
operating conditions. Examples of these conditions are; overspeed, low lubrication levels
and excess load. To avoid these situations, follow the following recommendations:
• Label Control Panels with the bearing limitations.

• Do not operate the bearing below the transition speed values indicated in the bearing
calculation.
• Stop the shaft immediately if: Bearing temperature exceeds normal operating
temperature by 10°C.
• Never remove plugs, RTDs or seals while the bearing is operating.
• Regularly inspect all seals and pipework. Any large leakage of lubricant or coolant will
indicate that a seal or joint is failing. Maintenance must then be carried out as soon as
possible.
The bearing surface and any pipework may be hot during operation.
6.4 Preparation for Operation after Standstill
• Clean the external parts of the bearing. Dust and dirt impede the radiation of heat.
• Check with the maintenance schedule in Section 7.3 to see if an oil change is necessary.
If required, carry out the oil change as indicated in Section 7.4.
• Start operating the oil supply system, where applicable, and check that it is working
correctly. The supplied oil quantity at the bearing inlet must equal the value indicated in
the Michell Calculations.
• Check the functioning of the temperature monitoring equipment.
• The bearing is now ready for operation.
14
7. Care and Maintenance
7.1 General
• Before carrying out any maintenance or inspection work, switch off machinery. Lock off the
controls and secure and the isolate shaft.
! Ensure control gear, barring gear and any other equipment capable of moving
the shaft is locked out and labelled “Not to be used”, or similar.
7.2 Tools and Equipment
The following tools and equipment may be necessary to carry out maintenance on the
bearing:

• PTFE sealant tape.
• Oil with the viscosity indicated (see bearing inspection plate)
• Detergents
• Clean cloth
15
7.3 Maintenance Schedule
• For a bearing that is operating constantly, routine maintenance should take place annually.
• If the user only operates the bearing periodically, maintenance periods may be able to take
place less frequently. This is however, at the users’ discretion. An annual inspection is
recommended as a minimum service requirement.
• A basic guide to maintenance is given in Table 1.
Maintenance work Schedule

Oil Change (see Section 7.4) • Bearing in reversing operation: every 3 Months
• Bearing in continuous operation: every 6 Months
Bearing Inspection During preventative maintenance work for machine or
immediately if:
• Bearing temperature exceeds 10°C over the indicated
value (see calculations)
• Unusual noises or odours occur
• Unusual changes in the oil colour are visible.
• Inadmissible vibrations occur.
• Oil flow rate and oil inlet pressure readings drop
below admissible values,
Table 1: Maintenance Schedule
• These are estimates only, and frequency may alter depending on site environment.
Michell can advise the user accordingly.
7.4 Oil Change
7.4.1 General
• Oil changes will be at differing periods depending on the frequency of bearing operation
and the conditions in which the bearing is operating. Approximate oil change times are
indicated in Section 7.3.
• Please observe the instructions for the use of the lubricating oil. The manufacturer
can provide information on waste oil disposal.
! Risk of Pollution:
7.4.2 Procedure for draining oil

• Run the bearing to warm up the oil. This will ease the flow of oil from the bearing, and also
remove any impurities and residues.
16
• Shut down the machine and secure it against unintended operation.
• Shut down the oil supply system where applicable.
! Do not disconnect the oil inlet and outlet pipework until the bearing has been
drained of oil.
Any oil spillage should be collected in suitable containers.

• Let off and collect the lubricating oil in the oil supply system where applicable.
• Loosen and remove the drain plug and washer, and fully drain the bearing of oil.
! Beware hot oil.
Collect and dispose of used oil under the correct regulations.
If the oil is visibly altered in colour, or contains unusual residues, an inspection

is recommended to eliminate the cause.
7.4.3 Procedure for refilling the bearing -self contained bearings

• Pour the correct grade of lubricating oil into the filling hole in the casing top. Use the
approximate quantity required as shown on the bearing arrangement drawing as a guide.
• Let the oil settle into the bearing. Check the oil level is approximately at the centre of the
oil level gauge, and top up if necessary. Where applicable.
7.4.4 Procedure for refilling the bearing - bearings with circulating oil
• Clean the oil container and fill up the oil supply system with the correct grade of lubricating
oil.
• Start the oil supply system in order to fill up the bearing with oil.
Check for leaks.
Not enough lubricant leads to temperature rises and therefore damage to the
bearing. Too much lubricant leads to leaks.
When pouring, take care not to spill lubricating oil onto the machine or
surrounding area.

1. Installation and alignment instructions:
Preliminary Checks
All EUROFLEX Couplings are individually numbered and one set of test certificates identifying the Coupling
accompany all supplies. Carry out the following checks prior to proceeding with the installation work.
i. Check the coupling drawing for provision of gagging screws and bushes. These are meant only for transport
purposes and for the purpose of compressing the flexing elements at the time of installation.
The gagging screws and bushes are painted in RED color and are to be necessarily removed prior to coupling
alignment and trial run of the equipment.
Couplings and the equipment should not be allowed to operate with gagging screws in position.
ii. Cross check the following coupling data as per the assembly drawing / dimensional test certificates with those
of the interface dimensions of the equipment shafts and flanges.
Coupling model & Rating

Hub bore and key way dimensions
Locating / Spigot diameter
Distance Between Shaft Ends (DBSE)
or Distance Between Flange Faces(DBFF)
Over all length
iii. Check for method of hub installation i.e., thermal shrink fit, hydraulic fit etc. and arrange for necessary tooling.
iv. The main coupling bolts are generally fully torqued at factory using special tooling and unless otherwise
called for, should not be disassembled, .
v. Check for the tightening torques specified for the various bolting and arrange for necessary calibrated torque
wrenches / special spanners.
vi. Check for clocking bands on coupling flange diameters which are marked at 90 degree intervals with
numbers 1, 2, 3, & 4. signifying 0,90,180 and 270 degree positions of the coupling flange. The accompanying
certificates will show the run out values obtained at the time of dynamic balancing.
These markings of are meant for match marking and the run out values can be used as a guide for accurate
alignment of the equipment.

vii. Unless otherwise specified the couplings will be supplied in black Oxidized condition for surface protection,
with a coat of oil applied and wrapped in moisture proof polythene shrink film.
For best results it is recommended that the couplings are left in their original packing and are to be removed just
prior to the actual date of installation.
For extended periods of storage in the open, it is recommended that the couplings are returned to their original
packing and stored with a periodic coat of oil re-applied to them.
viii. All coupling bolts, lock nuts, bushes, washers etc. are weigh matched to within 0.1 gram or better and field
replacement with components that do not form part of the original set is not to be done. Always replace these
components as a set.
2. Initial Assembly and Centering :
Correct careful assembly and centering at the initial stage enables the coupling to provide maximum
performance and increases service life.
3. General Limits :
i. Maintain the actual Axial shaft gap to that specified with the following tolerances :
4 bolt couplings : +/- 0.5 mm

As a general rule do not exceed 10% of the maximum axial misalignment capacity specified on the coupling
drawing.
ii.Radial Misalignment : Ensure that the TIR of dial set on opposite flange face is 0.05 mm or lower.
Note : The above values are to be arrived at after taking into

consideration the cold offset values for both axial and radial directions specified by the main equipment
manufacturer.

IMPORTANT:
Care should be exercised to tighten only the lock nuts by holding the bolt head steady in a socket. Coupling bolts
will have a very close fit in the flange holes and to the flexing element bushes and hence any forced rotation will
result in damage to the close fitting bolt shank and the mating parts.

DESCRIPTION
1. INTRODUCTION :
FK4E36 type Boiler Feed Pump is a four stage horizontal centrifugal pump of
barrel design casing.
The pump internals are designed as a cartridge which can be easily removed for
maintenance without disturbing the suction and discharge pipe work, or the
alignment of the pump and the turbo coupling.
The pump shaft is sealed at the drive end and non-drive end by Mechanical Seals.
The rotating assembly is supported by plain white metal lined journal bearings and
axially located by a double titling pad thrust bearing.
3. DESCRIPTION:
3.1 Pump Casing :
The pump casing consists of a forged steel barrel with welded suction, discharge
branches, inter stage tapping and mounting feet. The drive end of the casing is
closed by a suction guide which is entered from the non-drive end of the casing
and is located by a spigot against the outer face of the casing.
A metaflex joint is located between the suction guide spigot and the casing
outer face to prevent leakage between the barrel casing and suction guide. A split
pull up ring is secured to the pump casing and suction guide by a ring of screws.
Leakage between the suction annulus and the discharge annulus of the pump
casing is prevented by a copper coated mild steel joint located between the inner
face of the casing and the first stage ring section spigot. The non-drive end of the
casing is closed by a discharge cover secured to the casing by a ring of studs,
washers and nuts, sealing being effected by a Metaflex joint located in a machined
recess in the pump casing. On each side of the casing, on its horizontal centre
line, are two support feet which are secured to the base plate pedestals by spacer
pieces, washers and holding down bolts, thus allowing for expansion. Transverse
keys in the drive end pump feet and longitudinal keys under the casing transfer
moments and thrust to the base plate, while allowing the casing, freedom to
expand.
Provision is made on the pump casing for a drain connection and temperature
probes.
3.2 Discharge Cover
The discharge cover closes the non-drive end of the pump casing and also
forms the balance chamber which, in turn, is closed by the gland housing. The
discharge cover is a close fit in the casing bore and is held in place by a ring of
studs and nuts. A spring disc is located between the last stage diffuser and out let
guide to provide the force required to hold the ring section assembly in place
against the drive end of the barrel before start-up. Once running, the discharge
pressure assists the spring disc in holding the ring sections in place. The last
stage diffuser is free to slide over the out let guide.
Two holes are drilled radially through the periphery of the discharge cover
to provide outlet connections through which the liquid from the balance chamber is
returned to the pump suction piping and two similarly drilled holes are also
provided in the discharge cover for the welded connections of the kicker stage
deliveries. The non-drive end bearing housing is attached to the gland housing
secured to the outer face of the discharge cover by socket head screws and dowel
pins.
To assist in removing the cover, two tapped holes are provided on the
flange for the use of starting screws and a tapped hole is provided on top of the
cover for an eye-bolt.
3.3 Suction Guide
The suction guide closes the drive end of the pump casing and forms the
suction annulus. As a section of the pump cartridge, the suction guide is not
secured to the pump casing but is held against an internal shoulder in the casing
by the pull up ring.
The drive end bearing housing is secured to the outer face of the suction
guide by cap screws and dowel pins.
3.4 Ring sections
The ring section assembly consist of ring sections which locate one to
another by radial dowel pins and are secured to each other by socket head screws
in counter bored holes, sealing being effected by metal-to-metal joint faces.
Diffusers are dowel and spigot located to the ring sections and secured to the ring
section with socket head screws. The outlet guide for the kicker stage impeller is
secured to the discharge cover by means of cap screws which are locked in
position with plugs. Packing rings are shrunk into the bores of the ring sections
and diffusers and are secured by grub screws, the purpose of the packing rings
being to restrict the recirculation of the pumped liquid between the stages.
The ring sections and diffusers form the transfer passages from the
impeller outlet of one stage of the pump to the impeller inlet of the next stage, and
the diffusers are designed to convert some of the kinetic energy of the product into
pressure energy.
The first stage ring section is spigot located to the suction guide and is
radially located by means of a slot in the ring section and a cast key block in the
suction guide. At the non-drive end a dowel pin fitted to the outlet guide is located
in a hole in the last stage diffuser thus the ring section assembly is kept in its
correct position relative to the casing. A circular spring disc is located in the last
stage diffuser and over the inner end of the outlet guide. A shoulder on the outlet
guide bears against the spring disc and clamps the ring section assembly and
suction guide in position.
3.5 Rotating Assembly
The dynamically balanced rotating assembly consists of the shaft,

impellers, abutment rings, keys, seal sleeves, shaft nuts, balance drum, thrust
collar and the pump half coupling.
The shaft is chromium plated at each end where it is supported by the

journal bearings, and its diameter increases in increments from the non-drive end
towards the drive end to facilitate the fitting and removal of the impellers.
The impellers are of the single entry shrouded inlet type and are keyed
and shrunk onto the shaft, the keys, one per impeller, being alternately fitted on
diametrically opposite sides of the shaft to maintain rotational balance.
The hub of each impeller butts against a split shear ring fitted in a groove
in the shaft. The shear ring is retained by an extension of the impeller hub.
The balance drum is keyed and shrunk on the shaft and held in place
against the shaft locating shoulder by the balance drum nut and lock-washer. The
inner end of the balance drum is recessed and the bore of the recess is a close fit
over the kicker stage impeller hub. The face of the balance drum incorporates
tapped holes for withdrawal purposes.
The rotating parts of the seals are fitted to the shaft where it passes
through the seal housings. The seal sleeves are keyed to the shaft and are
clamped in position by shaft nut and shaft lock-nuts.
The thrust collar which is keyed to the non-drive end of the shaft, has the
thrust collar probe indicator fastened and doweled to its hub and is located against
a shoulder on the shaft by the thrust collar nut, locked by a lock washer.
NOTE : The thrust collar nut has left hand thread.
The pump half coupling is located on the tapered end of the shaft by keys
and it is secured by a coupling nut locked by a grub screw.
3.6 MECHANICAL SEAL
The drive and non-drive end stuffing boxes are fitted with mechanical
seals mounted on seal sleeves and located within seal cooling jackets to prevent
feed water escaping along the shaft. Tapped holes are provided on each seal
plate and cooling jacket for clarified cooling water inlet and outlet connections.
3.7 Journal and Thrust Bearings
The rotating assembly is supported at each of the shaft by a white metal

lined journal bearing and the residual thrust is carried by a titling pad double thrust
bearing mounted at the non-drive end of the pump.
The journal bearing shells are of mild steel, white metal lined, thick wall
type and are split on the horizontal plane through the shaft axis. Each bearing is
secured in a bearing housing and prevented from rotating by a dowel pin located
in the bearing keep.
The thrust bearing has eight white metal lined titling pads held in a split
carrier ring positioned on each side of the thrust collar. The carrier rings are
prevented from rotating with the shaft by dowel pins in each ring which engage in
slots in the bearing housing top half. The thrust pads are retained on the carrier
rings by a special pad stops screwed into the rings.
A split floating oil sealing ring is located in a groove in the thrust bearing
housing to restrict the escape of lubricating oil from the thrust bearing chamber. To
ensure that the thrust bearing remains flooded, an orifice is fitted at the oil outlet.
Machined spacers are fitted behind the carrier rings to effect the axial
position setting of the rotating assembly on the original build. The bearings are
supplied with lubricating oil from the forced lubrication oil system.
3.8 Bearing Housings
The bearing housings are in the form of cylindrical castings split on the
horizontal shaft axis. The top and bottom halves, of each bearing housing, are
located by fitted bolts and secured together by cap screws. The journal bearing in
each housing is located by a dowel pin in the bearing keep and the bearing keep is
dowel located to the bottom half housing and secured by cap screws. On the top
half housing there is provision for an air vent, vibration probes and a temperature
check point. On the bottom half housing there is provision for oil inlet and oil outlet,
R.T.D. probe and a temperature gauge.
The drive end bearing housing is secured to the suction guide by cap
screws and is radially located by dowel pins fitted in the flange of the suction
guide. Oil guards fitted in a groove at each end of the bearing housing are dowel
located and serve to prevent oil escaping from the housing.
An air breather is screwed into a tapped hole in the top half bearing
housing and a tapped hole is provided for a temperature gauge. Connections for
an oil inlet and an oil outlet are provided in the bottom half bearing housing.
The non-drive end bearing housing, which contains both the journal and
thrust bearings, is located by taper dowel pins and secured to the gland housing
by cap screws. In addition to the features common to both bearing housings the
follow features are included. On the top half housing there are connections for
reverse running indicators, an accelerometer and a thrust bearing temperature
check point. On the bottom half bearing housing the additional provision is for
thrust bearing temperature gauges. Leakage of lubricating oil from the non-drive
end bearing housing is prevented by an oil guard in the inboard side of the
housing.
3.9 Hydraulic Balance :
The rotating assembly is subject to varying forces due to the differential

pressure forces acting on the impellers. The pump has therefore been designed so
that the shaft is kept in tension by the location of a balance drum at the non-drive
end, and is hydraulically balanced so that only a small residual thrust remains,
which is carried by the thrust bearing. The main components of the hydraulic
balancing arrangement are the balance chamber machined in the discharge cover,
the balance drum which is secured to the shaft and the balance drum bush fitted in
the bore of the discharge cover. The thrust caused by the discharge pressure
acting on the area outside each impeller wear ring on the inlet side of the impeller
wear ring is balanced by the same pressure acting on an equal area on the outlet
side of each impeller. The thrust caused by the suction pressure acting on the
area inside the wear ring on the inlet side of each impeller is overcome by the
much greater thrust caused by the discharge pressure acting on an equivalent
area on the outlet side of each impeller. The resultant thrust force, due to the
different pressures acting on these equal areas, tends to move the rotating
assembly towards the drive end of the pump.
The thrust force will vary with the load on the pump but the hydraulic
balance arrangement will reduce its effect, enabling the residual thrust to be taken
by the titling pad thrust bearing. This bearing has a double face so that the surges
in opposite directions which occur during the start-up period and during transient
conditions will be accommodated.
The hydraulic balance arrangement operates as follows:-
The pump product passes from the kicker stage of the pump between the
balance drum and the bush, and enters the balance chamber at a pressure
approximately equal to the suction pressure. Two ports in the discharge cover
allow the product to be piped back to the pump suction side. The pressure
differential across the balance drum is therefore equal to the across the impellers.
The cross-sectional area of the balance drum is sized to give a small residual
thrust towards the drive end of the pump.

1. INTRODUCTION :
It is recommended that a system of routine inspection be established

during which the condition of the pump can be determined and recorded for
comparison with later inspections. Any defects should be repaired or the
components renewed at the earliest opportunity. Certain inspections can only by
made when the pump is under shut down but others can be made under operating
conditions.
A high degree of cleanliness of each pump and of the surrounding areas
should be maintained, as this will assist in the early detection of minor leaks or
defects which, if unnoticed, could lead to more serious operational or maintenance
problems.
1.1 Periodic and Preventive Maintenance
The pump performance should be used as the criterion for the need to
renew wearing parts. The pump performance may deteriorate due to excessive
leakage past the impeller/diffuser wear rings or vibration may indicate that the
wear rings or bearings are worn.
Note: The recommended renewal clearances are 1.5 times the clearances
shown on the Sectional Arrangement Drawings. If the pump performance
has declined it may be necessary to renew the wearing parts before the
recommended clearances are reached.
1.2 Routine Checks
It is essential that the routine checks given in Chapter-2, Section-5 are

carried out regularly. The checks concerned with the mechanical condition of the
pump are repeated here for the convenience of the maintenance engineers.
1.2.1 Periodic Checks
It is recommended that the following checks are carried out at regular

intervals :-
(1) Check that the suction and discharge pressures are normal.
(2) Check that the pump bearing lubricating oil pressures and temperatures
are normal.
(3) Check for any leakage from the mechanical seals.
(4) Check all joints and valve glands for leakage.
(6) Carryout a visual check on all keeps and fastenings, paying particular
attention to the holding-down bolts.

PROCEDURES.
Note : The FK4E36 Boiler feed pump is an integral part of the tandem Boiler feed
pump set. The following instructions should, therefore, be read in
conjunction with those for the Booster pump in Part 1.
3.1 Preparation for Maintenance
Before commencing any maintenance procedures, the pump must be

isolated as follows :-
(1) Isolate the electrical power supplies to the pump driving motor and the
lubricating oil system.
(3) Check that the pump set suction, discharge and leak-off isolating valves
are shut.
(4) Check that the Mechanical seal lines have been isolated.
(5) Open the drain and vent connections, and drain the pump casing.

assistance of applying jacking screws to the bearing keep.
(7) Take the weight of the pump shaft and rotate the bottom halves of the
journal bearing and oil guards around the shaft and lift them away.
(8) Examine the journal bearing and shaft journal for signs of damage, scoring
of deterioration and examine the journal bearing and the oil guards for
wear. Reference should be made to the sectional arrangement drawings,
for the clearances of the journal bearing and oil guards.
Note: Lightly smear the shaft and journal bearing surfaces with oil before final
assembly.
(9) Rotate the bottom halves of the journal bearing and oil guards around the
shaft and into position in the bottom half bearing housing. Release the
weight of the pump shaft.
(10) Locate the top half journal bearing in position on the pump shaft. Locate
the bearing keep on the dowels and secure it with the cap screws.

(13) Replace the instruments and the turbo coupling/pump drive coupling
guard.
3.3 Examing the Non-drive End (NDE) Journal and Thrust Bearing
dismantling procedure.
(2) Remove the fluid coupling/pump drive coupling guard.
(3) Remove the fluid coupling/pump drive coupling spacer and element
assemblies.
(4) Remove the set screws securing the bearing housing end cover to the top
half bearing housing.
(5) Withdraw the fitted bolts and remove the cap screws securing the top half
bearing housing to the bottom half bearing housing and the gland housing.
(6) Use four jacking screws in the top half bearing housing to separate it from
the bottom half.
CAUTION : The thrust cover is located on the bottom half bearing housing by
four dowel pins. Care must be taken to avoid damage to the dowels
or the locating holes.
(8) Remove the cap screws securing the thrust cover to the bottom half
bearing housing. Use four jacking screws to separate to the thrust cover
from the bottom half bearing housing and lift it way.
(9) Lift the top halves of the floating seal carriers away, then take the weight of
the pump shaft and rotate the bottom halves of the journal baring, oil guard
and floating seal carries around the shaft and lift them away.
(10) Unclip the springs and remove the split floating oil seals from the bearing
housing.
Note : The thrust carrier ring split line is at 90° to the bearing housing horizontal
surface.
(11) Remove each thrust carrier ring in turn as a complete unit as follows :-
Rotate the complete carrier around the shaft until the half ring with the stop
pin can be removed, then rotate the other half ring around the shaft until it
can be lifted clear of the shaft. Repeat with the second carrier ring on the
other side of the thrust collar.
(12) Examine the journal bearing, shaft journal, thrust pads, thrust collar, split
oil seal and oil guard for damage or deterioration. Under normal operating
conditions it is not expected that any measurable wear will take place on
the thrust pads other than a dulling of the white metal surfaces. It is

4.4 Inspection, Renewal and Repair Procedures
The pump components should be completely cleaned before inspecting for

any signs of wear including scoring, wiping or ridging.
All diametrical clearance should be measured with internal and external

micrometers.
4.4.1 Clearances
Refer to the Sectional Arrangement Drawings for details of the clearances.

It is recommended that when the pump internal clearances have reached 1.5
times the figure quoted or are expected to do so before the next overhaul, the
component or components should be renewed. The main considerations,
however, are pump performance and motor power consumption.
4.4.2 Pump Shaft
(1) Examine the shaft for any signs of damage or bowing and check for
concentricity; it should be within 0.05 mm full indicator movement.
(2) Check that all threads are in good condition.
(3) Check that the keyways are free from burrs.
4.4.3 Impellers
(1) Examine the impellers for signs of wear or erosion, particularly at the
waterways and the tips of the blades.
(2) Check that the keyways are free from burrs.

(3) Examine the impeller wear rings for wear or ovality. Renew or repair as
necessary.
CAUTION : If the impeller wear rings required to be renewed it is important to

note that the impeller is balanced during manufacture. However, if it
is considered expedient to assemble and operate the pump without
checking the balance, BHEL/PUMPS, should first be consulted.
4.4.4 Ring Sections, Diffusers, Balance Drum and Suction Guide
(1) Examine the ring sections, diffusers and suction guide for signs of wear or
erosion, particularly in the flow passages.
(2) Examine the bores of the ring section and diffuser wear rings and the
balance drum bush for signs of wear or ovality. Renew or repair as
necessary.
(3) The wear rings and balance drum bush are a shrink fit in their respective
components, and are secured radially by grub screws.
(4) The wear rings should be renewed as follows :-
(a) Remove the grub screws and machine the wear ring from its seating.
(b) Thoroughly clean the seating and shrink the new ring into position.
(c) Secure the war ring in position with grub screws. Lock the grub
screws by lightly punching with a centre punch at the thread junction.
(d) Lightly machine the internal or external surface of the wear ring to
rectify any distortion which may have occurred during fitting.
Note : The impeller wear rings supplied as spares are left 3 mm oversize on
the outside diameter for final machining after fitting and due note
should be taken of this when assessing the possible renewal of the
ring section and diffuser wear rings. The ring section and diffuser
wear rings supplied as spares are left 3 mm undersize in the bore for
final machining.
4.4.5 Journal Bearings
Inspect the journal bearings for signs of wear or damage and renew as
necessary.
4.4.6 Thrust Bearings
Under normal operating conditions it is not expected that any measurable

wear will take place on the thrust pads other than a dulling of the white metal
surfaces. It is recommended that when this dulling has spread to more than half
the surface area of the pads, they should be removed.
4.4.7 Mechanical Seals
A correctly operated mechanical seal is maintenance free, wear parts,

however, have to be replaced, if necessary.
4.4.8 Joints
All joints and ‘O’ rings should be renewed on assembly, as should any
backing ring which shows signs of damage or distortion. Apply soft soap to all ‘O’
rings prior to assembly.
4.4.9 Studs, Bolts, Screws and Nuts
The threads of all studs, bolts, screws and nuts must be clean, well formed
and free from burs. If the threads are damaged in any way the component must be
renewed.
4.4.10 Dowels
All dowels must be clean and free from damage. Worn or damage dowels
must be renewed.
4.4.11 Keys
All keys must be a good fit in their keyways and must also be flat, parallel and free
from burrs. Worn or damage keys must be renewed.
4.4.12 Cleanliness
All components must be perfectly clean and all bores and oil ways must be
cleaned out before the pump is assembled.
4.4.13 Dynamic Balance
Each components of the rotating assembly is first dynamically balanced

individually during manufacture, then the entire assembly consisting of shaft, shaft
sleeves, impellers, balance drum, pump half coupling, thrust collar, nuts, keys and
rotating seal faces is assembled and dynamically balanced as a unit. Always
consider the effect on dynamic balance when renewing or repairing individual
parts.
If it is considered expedient to assemble and operate the pump without
checking the dynamic balance, BHEL Pumps Ltd., should first be consulted.
When suitable workshop facilities are available the recommended method

of checking the dynamic balance of the resulting assembly is as follows :
(1) Support the assembly at the bearing centre lines and check that it is
dynamically balanced with 630M g cm

N
Where M = rotor weight (kg)
N = pump speed (rev / min.)
(2) Dynamic balance is to be achieved by removing metal from the impeller

shrouds within the following limits.
CAUTION : (a) The thickness of the impeller shroud must not be reduced by
more than 1.6 mm at any point.
(b) No metal is to be removed from an impeller within 12.7 mm of the

periphery.
(c) The weight of metal to be removed is to be calculated in the form

of a segment, the arc length of which does not exceed 0.1 of the
circumference of the impeller.
(d) If the amount of the metal to be removed exceeds the limits

imposed by (a) and (c), BHEL pumps Ltd., should be consulted.
Note : The dynamic balance can be checked and trimmed in-situ by BHEL,
Pumps Personnel, using specialized equipment to establish the degree
and location of the unbalance and correcting this by adding balance
weights to the peripheries of the coupling flange and the thrust collar.
4.5 Assembling the pump cartridge

OT Omega Thrust Ring Assembly With Shim Pack, And Liners

1. Introduction
1.1 About the Product
The “Omega” Series Thrust Rings supplied are part of a standard range of components
manufactured by Michell Bearings. The thrust rings are intended to be fitted within a casing
supplied by a customer. Depending on the demands specified, the thrust rings will be
designed to absorb:
a) A constant load along the shaft in one direction.

b) A constant load along the shaft in either direction.
c) A constant load in one direction and a temporary load in the opposite direction.
Within the “Omega” Series a range of sizes are catered for. All “Omega” thrust rings require
continuous lubrication from a pumped oil supply. In some cases, the thrust rings will have
machined oil channels and in other cases restriction jet holes.
The system of restriction holes is known as ‘Low Loss’ lubrication and will give lower power
losses than conventional fully immersed rings.
In order to measure pad temperature, Resistance Temperature Devices (RTDs) can be fitted
to a number of pads specified by the customer.
1.2 About this Manual
• This manual contains information about the bearing and its safe operation, and should
therefore be read carefully in full before starting work.
• Since the bearing has a wide range of applications, this manual has been written to cover
all current configurations.
• This manual is to be used by qualified engineers only.
• The following formats are used to draw attention to particular details:
! This symbol signifies a warning. These are instructions that, if ignored, could
result in death or injury. Danger!
This symbol signifies an important point which, If ignored, could result in

minor injury or failure to carry out a process correctly.
5
This symbol signifies additional instructions. This is usually a check. Missing
out this stage could lead to an error going unnoticed.
In addition, brackets after a reference to a part description, e.g. thrust pads set (3),
retaining ring (2) refer to an item number on a general sub-assembly drawing at the
front of this manual. These are used as a reference for the engineer.
1.3 Warranty Claims
• Unless otherwise stated all warranty claims shall be dealt with in accordance with Michell
Bearings.
• These warranty obligations will automatically become void if the product is:
1. Improperly handled or installed.

2. Supplied with spare parts (or repaired), not approved by Michell Bearings.

3. Handling the Bearing
3.1 General
This section outlines essential information, which must be referred to when handling the thrust
rings.
• The thrust rings are supplied fully assembled (see arrangement drawing for mass of
complete bearing).
• Omega “OT” Series thrust rings are not usually fitted with lifting holes. A complete ring
may be lifted using straps or slings.
• When transporting the bearing, it should remain in its packaging.
Please check all product equipment to ensure that it is complete before installation. Any
damage due to transit must be reported to Michell immediately.
• See Section 8 for instructions on how to disassemble the bearing.
! Before using any lifting equipment, ensure that it is certified to carry a load
greater than that of the bearing or component.
Take care not to damage bearing components and the running surfaces of the
shaft collar by contact with the lifting equipment.
! If in doubt, always use mechanical devices where possible. Remember to

bend the knees and not the back when lifting manually.
8
4. Preparation for First Installation
• All Omega “OT’’ Series thrust rings are supplied complete. All thrust rings are, for ease of
assembly, capable of being split in two halves. If the rings supplied are to be split the
RTDs and their cabling should be removed prior to this.
• Remove all packaging.
• Refer to Sections 2 and 3 for safety and handling instructions.
• Dismantle the bearing referring to Section 8, ignoring any references to the shaft or
machine.
• When dismantled, please check all product equipment to ensure that it is complete before
installation. Any damage due to transit must be reported to Michell Bearings immediately.
• All parts are coated in a rust preventative. This must be removed and all parts thoroughly
cleaned before installation begins. To remove the rust preventative, white spirit or a strong
spirit based cleaner should be used. Note! Do not use paraffin (Kerosene).
• It is recommended that the bearing casing and all other internal parts are cleaned to
prevent dirt getting between the collar and the thrust rings.
If the thrust rings are being fitted into a bearing that has previously been
used, ensure that the lubricating pipes have been cleaned to remove any deposits. If
there is any dirt in the lubricating system it will damage the new parts fitted.
Use a lint free cloth when cleaning the bearing. Particles from other cloths
could otherwise get into the lubricating oil and cause overheating, and in extreme
cases, failure of the bearing.
• Once all parts are inspected and cleaned the bearing is ready for installation.
• Refer to Section 10 if the bearings are to be stored for a period of time before operation.

sump temperature in the relevant connection holes.
Ensure that RTD assembly is not damaged and is working correctly before
fitting.

• Where applicable retighten external oil supply connections.
• Fill Bearing with oil or start oil system as described in Section 7.4.
Check:
1. That the oil quantity at bearing oil inlet is as specified by Michell Bearings, where
applicable.
2. That the temperature monitoring equipment works.
• The bearing is now ready for operation. It must not be used until the below items have
been dealt with:
1. The entire installation has received a Declaration of Conformity, or has been declared
exempt from the Supply of Machinery (Safety Regulations) Act 1992 and the Machinery
Directive.
6.2 Trial Run
• For temperature probe fitted bearings, run the bearing and establish a steady state
operating temperature. Set temperature alarm to 5°C above this steady state operating
temperature. Shut down temperature alarm should be set at 10°C above steady state
• Supervise the bearing during the trial run period (approx. 5-10 operating hours).
• Pay special attention to the following:
1. Oil flow rate and oil inlet pressure in circulating oil system (where applicable)
2. Bearing temperature
3. Occurrence of inadmissible vibrations.
4. Unusual noises or odours
13
• If any or all of the above cause concern, or if the monitoring equipment triggers an alarm,
stop the machine immediately and carry out an inspection of the bearing to find the cause.
6.3 Normal Operation

• If the bearing has been correctly assembled using the procedure already given, there is
only a marginal risk of the bearing failing which would normally be due to inadmissible
operating conditions. Examples of these conditions are; overspeed, low lubrication levels
and excess load. To avoid these situations, follow the following recommendations:
• Label Control Panels with the bearing limitations.

• Do not operate the bearing below the transition speed values indicated in the bearing
calculation.
• Stop the shaft immediately if: Bearing temperature exceeds normal operating
temperature by 10°C.
• Never remove plugs, RTDs or seals while the bearing is operating.
• Regularly inspect all seals and pipework. Any large leakage of lubricant or coolant will
indicate that a seal or joint is failing. Maintenance must then be carried out as soon as
possible.
The bearing surface and any pipework may be hot during operation.
6.4 Preparation for Operation after Standstill
• Clean the external parts of the bearing. Dust and dirt impede the radiation of heat.
• Check with the maintenance schedule in Section 7.3 to see if an oil change is necessary.
If required, carry out the oil change as indicated in Section 7.4.
• Start operating the oil supply system, where applicable, and check that it is working
correctly. The supplied oil quantity at the bearing inlet must equal the value indicated in
the Michell Calculations.
• Check the functioning of the temperature monitoring equipment.
• The bearing is now ready for operation.

• Detergents
• Clean cloth
15
7.3 Maintenance Schedule
• For a bearing that is operating constantly, routine maintenance should take place annually.
• If the user only operates the bearing periodically, maintenance periods may be able to take
place less frequently. This is however, at the users’ discretion. An annual inspection is
recommended as a minimum service requirement.
• A basic guide to maintenance is given in Table 1.
Maintenance work Schedule

Oil Change (see Section 7.4) • Bearing in reversing operation: every 3 Months
• Bearing in continuous operation: every 6 Months
Bearing Inspection During preventative maintenance work for machine or

• Bearing temperature exceeds 10°C over the indicated
value (see calculations)
• Unusual noises or odours occur
• Unusual changes in the oil colour are visible.
• Inadmissible vibrations occur.
• Oil flow rate and oil inlet pressure readings drop
below admissible values,
Table 1: Maintenance Schedule
• These are estimates only, and frequency may alter depending on site environment.
Michell can advise the user accordingly.
7.4 Oil Change
7.4.1 General
• Oil changes will be at differing periods depending on the frequency of bearing operation
and the conditions in which the bearing is operating. Approximate oil change times are
indicated in Section 7.3.
• Please observe the instructions for the use of the lubricating oil. The manufacturer
can provide information on waste oil disposal.
! Risk of Pollution:
7.4.2 Procedure for draining oil

• Run the bearing to warm up the oil. This will ease the flow of oil from the bearing, and also
remove any impurities and residues.
16
• Shut down the machine and secure it against unintended operation.
• Shut down the oil supply system where applicable.
! Do not disconnect the oil inlet and outlet pipework until the bearing has been
drained of oil.

• Let off and collect the lubricating oil in the oil supply system where applicable.
• Loosen and remove the drain plug and washer, and fully drain the bearing of oil.
! Beware hot oil.
Collect and dispose of used oil under the correct regulations.
If the oil is visibly altered in colour, or contains unusual residues, an inspection

is recommended to eliminate the cause.
7.4.3 Procedure for refilling the bearing -self contained bearings

• Pour the correct grade of lubricating oil into the filling hole in the casing top. Use the
approximate quantity required as shown on the bearing arrangement drawing as a guide.
• Let the oil settle into the bearing. Check the oil level is approximately at the centre of the
oil level gauge, and top up if necessary. Where applicable.
7.4.4 Procedure for refilling the bearing - bearings with circulating oil
• Clean the oil container and fill up the oil supply system with the correct grade of lubricating
oil.
• Start the oil supply system in order to fill up the bearing with oil.
Check for leaks.
Not enough lubricant leads to temperature rises and therefore damage to the
bearing. Too much lubricant leads to leaks.
When pouring, take care not to spill lubricating oil onto the machine or
surrounding area.

8. Dismantling an Installed Bearing
8.1 General
• The Procedure given in this section is a full stripdown of a generic Omega “OT” series
bearing. As such it may contain more information than is necessary in some cases.
Simply ignore the sections not relevant to the bearing being worked on. Any technical
queries can be referred to the Engineering Team at Michell Bearings.
• Michell recommends that the below safety advice is followed when carrying out
maintenance on any bearings. It may be necessary to change the dismantling procedure
to suit the design of the bearing casing.
8.2 Preparation
• Check through the safety procedures at the start of Section 2. Understand and follow the
instructions very carefully.
• Switch off machinery. Lock off controls. Secure and isolate shaft, drain and disconnect
cooling system, where applicable. Refer to manufacturer instructions.
the shaft is locked out and labelled “Not to be used”.
• Switch off and drain the lubricating oil and oil system (where necessary) as described in
Section 7.4.
• Disconnect and remove any thermometry and instrumentation.
Make sure the workspace is clean. Contamination and damage to the bearing
affect operating performance and could lead to premature failure.
! Do not use any violence or force.

.
8.2.1 Strip down the bearing until the thrust rings are visible.
• Horizontal Bearings: Where applicable, remove the top half of the thrust ring(s).
• Vertical Bearings: Remove upper thrust ring (where fitted).
• Vertical Bearings: Jackshaft up until it’s clear of the lower thrust pads.
18
! Follow lifting instructions and safety guidelines in Sections 2 and 3.
! Ensure the jacking equipment is safely positioned and certified to carry a load
greater than the mass of the shaft.
! Once the shaft is raised, secure it into position using other equipment. Do not
rely on jacking equipment alone.
8.2.2 Disconnect and remove any thermometry and instrumentation.

• Remove RTDs, and instrumentation connections.
Take care not to damage instrumentation.
8.3 Removing thrust rings

Vertical Bearings: Remove lower thrust rings.
• Horizontal Bearings: If the bottom half of the thrust rings are not visible, follow the below
procedure;
• Tap one end of the ring until the opposite end is visible.
• Rotate the ring out and remove.

8.4 Removing the Liners, and Shim Pack. Where Applicable.
• To fully dismantle the thrust ring follow the below procedure:
• Remove liner retaining screws (8), liners (7), and shim pack (6) from the back of the
retaining ring halves (1), (2).
8.5 Removing the Thrust Pad Set
• Remove thrust pad stops (4) from retaining rings (1), (2).
• The thrust pads (3) can now be removed from the retaining ring (1), (2).
Take care not to damage thrust pad whitemetal surface.
19
9. Cleaning and Checking
9.1 General
! Only use non-aggressive detergents such as VALVOLINE 150 or Alkaline

cleaning compounds with pH-value 6 to 9, and a short reaction time.
! Please observe the instructions for use of the detergents.
Use a lint free cloth when cleaning the bearing. Thread from such cloths could
get into the lubricating oil and cause overheating, and in extreme cases, failure of the
bearing.
• Clean the following parts thoroughly:
1. Thrust pad set.

2. Retaining ring.
3. Liners, where applicable
4. Shim pack.
5. Thrust pad stops.
• In addition inspection may be required on the bearing components, according to the

Maintenance Schedule outlined in Section 7.3.
• The remaining part of this section gives basic inspection guidelines for some major bearing
components. However, if any wear or damage is evident on any of the bearing
components, consult Michell Bearings immediately as it may adversely affect bearing
performance.
• The following sections assume the bearing has been dismantled according to Section 8.
20
9.2 Checking the Thrust Pad.
• Examine the Thrust Pads. The appearance of the running surface should be that shown in
Figure 11 below.
Figure 11: Thrust Pad Appearance After Use
• Inspect the collar surface for any signs of damage. If it is necessary to change the pads,
the collar should also be replaced or repaired, otherwise the replacement pads will only
have a short life. There may be some scoring and wear on the pads. Provided wear is no
greater than 0.125mm the pads are still serviceable. If there is any sign of the bearing
surface coming away from the backing material, the pads must be replaced.
21
10. Bearing Preservation during Storage
10.1 Before Installation
10.2 Corrosion Protection for Standstill Periods up to 6 Months
• Dismantle the bearing (see Section 8).

• Clean the bearing (see Section 9).
• Assemble the bearing (see Section 5).
• Put a bag of desiccant (silica gel) inside to absorb humidity and prevent the formation of
condensation in the bearing.
10.3 Corrosion Protection for Standstill Periods between 6 Months to 1 Year
• Repeat the preservation procedures detailed in Section 10.2.
10.4 Corrosion Protection for Standstill Periods longer than 1 year
• Dismantle the thrust rings according to Section 8.

• Preserve and store bearing parts separately.
11. Bearing Preservation During Transport
When the bearing is fitted to the machine during transport:

• Carry out the corrosion protection procedure described in Section 10.2.
• Apply liberal lubricant to the running surfaces of the bearing.
• Secure the shaft against axial and radial movement.
12. Appendices
12.1 Ordering Spares
• As a minimum, it is recommended that replacements should be carried for all Whitemetal

components. Consideration should also be given to stocking the parts listed below:
• Jointing compound (i.e. Curil-T)
• RTD Assemblies (where applicable)

CHAPTER 1 - GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 Introduction
a. The NE8269 thrust bearing assembly consists of two subassemblies. Each

1.4 General Description
a. The double thrust bearing assembly presented in Figure 1 is a non-equalizing

design, which means that the axial pad positions have very limited adjustment capability under
load. Eight thrust pads are positioned on each side of the collar. The assembly is capable of
accommodating thrust load in either axial direction. The thrust of the rotating element is
transferred through the collar to the pads, the carrier ring, the housing, and foundation.
b. In operation, each pad is free to pivot slightly in relation to the collar surface.
This allows the oil to form wedge-shaped films between the pads and collar. These films,
thickest at the leading edge, are self-renewing, as long as the shaft rotates and lubrication is
provided.
1.5 Detailed Description (See Figure 1)
a. The thrust bearing assembly consists of two split carrier rings (1), in which the
thrust pads (2, 3) are equally spaced between pad retainer and screws (4, 4-1). The head of the
pad retainer holds the pads loosely in position by engaging recesses machined in the radial sides
of each pad.
1
b. Socket head shoulder screws (8) are used to locate and hold the instrumented
thrust pads (3) located near the carrier ring joint.
c. The thrust pads (2, 3) are made of steel and are faced with babbitt. They are free
to tilt slightly, allowing the wedge-shaped oil films to develop. The plain pads are
interchangeable. However, the pads equipped with R.T.D.s have specific locations within each
subassembly and must not be interchanged. Instrument lead wires must be routed through the
grooves provided in the carrier ring. The leads may be secured using the wire clamps (7) and
screws (7.1) provided.
d. The carrier rings are located in the housing and secured against rotation by anti-
rotation keys (6) secured with screws (6-1).
e. The filler plates (5) are used to set rotor end play (See Section 2.3), which is the
axial clearance between the thrust bearing sub-assemblies. The filler plates are secured to the
back of each carrier ring (1) with filler plate mounting screws (5-1).
2
CHAPTER 2 - INSTALLATION
2.1 Disassembly, Cleaning, and Inspection
a. As packed for shipment, the bearing elements and surfaces are protected against
physical abuse and corrosion. They have been brushed with a neutral waterproof coating and are
protected against contact with wood or damp packing material. Subsequent damage may occur if
the proper precautions are not observed during storage, inspection, and installation.
b. Remove the packaging materials from each bearing assembly and lay the
assembly on a clean, flat surface.
c. Separate the thrust bearing subassemblies at the joints.
d. Remove the pad retaining screws (8) from the back face of the subassemblies.
Remove the loose pads (3).
e. Loosen and remove the pad retainer screws and pad retainers (4, 4-1) in sequence,
removing all loose thrust pads (2).
f. Clean off all anti-rust preservative with a mixture of oil and solvent or kerosene.
Use lint-free rags or cloth for cleaning.
CAUTION
A poorly cleaned bearing will score and wear out rapidly.
A bearing surface is not clean until a white cloth wiped
over it shows no soil.
CAUTION
Protect the babbitted pad faces at all times!
g. Inspect all parts after cleaning. Remove any raised metal on the babbitt faces
with a scraper.
h. Remove displaced metal or rust on the collar face using a fine oil stone. Deep
rust requires refinishing.
2.2 Initial Assembly
a. Oil all parts when assembling.
b. Place the carrier ring halves (1) on a clean, flat surface.
3
c. Refer to Figure 1. Starting near the carrier ring joint (the end without the thru-
hole for the shoulder screw (8)), place a plain thrust pad (1) atop the carrier ring, followed by a
pad retainer (4) atop the threaded hole in the carrier ring. The retainer must engage the slot in
the side of the pad.
d. Continue placing pads, followed by retainers, until all of the plain pads and
retainers have been located.
e. Secure the retainers in place by installing the flat head socket screws (4-1).
f. Place the instrumented pads (3) into the remaining positions and secure with
socket head shoulder screws (8).
g. End play must now be accounted for. Refer to Section 2.3, End Play.
2.3 End Play
a. End play is defined as the axial float of the thrust collar between the thrust
bearing sub-assemblies. It is provided to allow for oil film formation and thermal expansion.
b. Thrust bearing end play is determined by the thickness of the filler plates (5)
fastened to the back of each carrier ring.
c. To determine the required filler plate thickness, place each thrust bearing sub-
assembly on a surface plate and lay a flat plate atop the pad surfaces. Use an inside micrometer
or snap gauge and measure the height between the surface and top plate adjacent to each pad.
Average the eight readings to determine the average stacked height.
NOTE
For accurate results, the flat plate should have a 32 rms finish
and be flat within 0.03 mm. The plate should weight at least 45
kgs.
CAUTION
Babbitt is a soft metal that is easily damaged. Do not drop or
twist the surface plate atop the babbitted surfaces!
d. Use an outside micrometer to measure the filler plate thickness. Record the
measurement.
4
e. With the thrust collar (rotor) in the desired running position, use an inside
micrometer to measure the average available space. Carefully measure and record the space
between the collar and each end of the housing. Perform measurements in at least three
locations. Average the readings to determine the average available space.
f. The difference between the average stacked height and average available space
(for each side of the collar) represents the desired filler plate thickness. The calculated filler
plate thickness in the normally unloaded bearing must be further reduced by the desired end play
(See Section 1.2).
g. If the filler plates are not the required thicknesses, they must be ground.
NOTE
The filler plates should be ground on the side of the filler plate
mounting screw (5-1) counter bores.
The filler plate must be ground flat within 0.013 mm. The
surface finish should be 32 rms or better.
h. Once installation is complete, verify the end play by moving the rotor fore and aft
while accurately measuring the change in position. Correct as required.
2.4 Final Assembly
a. Attach the finished filler plates (5) to the carrier rings (1) using the filler plate
mounting screws (5-1).
b. Wet the collar faces with oil.
c. Bump the rotor to one side to provide clearance for one thrust subassembly
installation.
d. Place the lower half of the partial assembly (the halves without the anti-rotation
key (6)) over the shaft and roll it into the housing, bringing the bearing joint even with the
housing joint.
e. Place the upper half atop the lower and roll the subassembly to seat the anti-
rotation key.
5
CAUTION
The instrument lead wires are easily damaged by rough or careless
handling. Assist the leads each time the assembly is rotated.
f. Bump the rotor against the bearing and install the second subassembly as noted
above.
g. Pour oil over the entire assembly.
h. Complete housing assembly.
6
CHAPTER 3 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3.1 Lubrication and Cooling
a. These bearings are intended for lubrication from the main oil system. The rate of
circulation should keep the oil outlet temperature within 14-17°C above the inlet temperature.
b. Control the oil flow by throttling or using orifice plugs on the oil inlet only.
3.2 Grade of Oil
a. Correct oil viscosity is important. Changing to a lighter oil may cause the
lubricating films to become dangerously thin. The use of a heavier oil will needlessly increase
friction and power losses.
b. Oil must be clean and free from grit and other abrasive substances. Fine grit has a
scouring action, and dirty or old oil may cause corrosion or sludge.
3.3 Operation
a. The bearing surfaces, when running, are completely separated by oil. Since there
is virtually no wear, no adjustment is provided. The original dull gray appearance of the thrust
pad faces may remain the same after years of service. This can be expected if the unit is clean
when installed and is supplied with clean, cool oil of proper viscosity.
b. Oil flow through the bearings must be established prior to shaft rotation.

4.2 Inspection and Replacement
a. An inspection of the thrust pads or collar faces cannot be performed without

raising the housing cover. Thrust bearing end play, pad temperature, oil outlet temperature, and
oil filter condition should be used to assess bearing health.
b. When distress is suspected, secure the unit and lift off the upper portion of the
housing.
c. With the cover raised, the radial edges of the thrust pads and exposed collar
surfaces can be inspected.
d. If babbitt overlay along the pads’ radial edges is not visible, withdraw a pad for
full surface inspection.
e. If the pad does not exhibit displaced babbitt, it is unlikely that the remaining pads
will be damaged. When the babbitt becomes hot enough to flow, it is picked up by the rotating
collar and is quickly carried through all of the pads.
8
f. If an overlay of babbitt is evident along the pads’ radial edges, the bearing must be
disassembled. The severity of damage determines the extent of repair.
g. Refer to Section 2.2 for the reinstallation procedure.
4.3 Service

Configuration : 1
Couplings with this configuration have hub flanges directly bolting on to the flexing elements. Following is the
sequence installation :
i. Dismantle the coupling bolts and the gagging screws.
(DBFF)
v. Clamp two dials as shown and align to within 0.05 mm of TIR.
vi. Assemble the flexing elements and spacer in position and hand tighten all coupling bolts, in cylinder head
fashion.
vii. Tighten all coupling bolts to 50% of the specified torque using a calibrated torque wrench, in a cylindrical
head fashion.
viii. Recheck the DBSE and radial run out values. Readjust if the same is found disturbed.
ix. Tighten all coupling bolts to the specified torquing limit.

STD OM
Page 4 of 4
IMPORTANT:
Care should be exercised to tighten only the lock nuts by holding the bolt head steady in a socket. Coupling bolts
will have a very close fit in the flange holes and to the flexing element bushes and hence any forced rotation will
result in damage to the close fitting bolt shank and the mating parts.

4.1 PACKING AND STORAGE
Section
If not specified differently in the order the BURGMANN standard
4 packaging is used, suited for dry transport by truck, train or plane.
The signs and notes for handling on the packaging have to be
observed.
Page 6 of 13 Notes for incoming inspection
- Check packaging for visible damages.
- Open packaging carefully. do not damage or lose parts -
supplied separately
10
- Check if consignment is complete (delivery note). Inform the

supplier immediately in writing if parts are damaged or
missing.
9
These recommendations apply to all BURGMANN mechanical seals

which have been supplied and stored in their undamaged original
packaging, as well as to seals which have been installed in a
component of a plant. (e.g. pump, compressor, etc.) but have not
8
yet been put into operation.

A preservation of the BURGMANN mechanical seals is not
7
necessary.
- Do not use corrosion protection agents.
- There is the risk of deposition or chemical attack of the
6
elastomeric secondary seals.
Check in case of a preservation of complete plants with

5
mechanical seals installed:

- the compatibility of the chosen preservation agent with the
seal materials and with the elastomers
- no impairment of the seal's axial movability by
4
conglutination or by gumming
Sliding materials and elastomers are subject to material-specific

3
and time-based alterations (distortion, ageing) which might reduce

the full efficiency of the seals. yet, this may be avoided by
observing the storage instructions.
2
Damages caused by improper storage may not be claimed on

the BURGMANN company with regard to their warranty.
Store the seal in the original packing lying on a flat surface.

11/06/05
The mechanical seals have to be stored in dry, dustfree, moderately

- For cartridge seals, the seal can be assembled directly after

taking precautions on the shaft.
- Profile rings of Statotherm® can only be deformed axially (radial
8
deformation results in destruction).

- To reduce frictional forces during assembly of the seal, the shaft
is thinly lubricated with oil or silicon grease in the zone of the seal
7
rings.
Warning : This does not apply to rubber bellows seals.

6
Warning : In the electric dip-painting range the O-rings must be

free from silicon grease and must be mounted free from silicon
grease.
Warning : Under no circumstances must O-rings made of
5
Ethylene Propylene rubber come into contact with mineral oil

or grease. It is recommended to use silicon grease.
4
- Never cover the sliding faces with a lubricant as they must be

assembled completely dry, clean and dust-free.
- When pressing in stationery seals, make sure that the pressure
3
distribution is uniform. The O-ring must be fitted using water or

alcohol only.
- For heat dissipation and lubrication of single-acting mechanical
seals, there should be a recirculation from pump discharge to

Section The Burgmann mechanical seals H75N are independent of the

direction of rotation. The set screws with cup points must be
4 renewed after every dismounting; they must be fastened with
Loctite Nr. 241 or a similar Product.
Page 9 of 13
4.4 INSTALLATION
All steps on (in) which the seal is to be mounted should have a 2 x

30° bevel and all sharp edges should be chamfered. The shaft
10
surface should be smooth machined and ground in the areas where

radial seal elements are to be located (Rτ = 2.5µ.m.)
9
The nutation of the shaft should not exceed 100 µ.m. and although
the seal can absorb slight vibration, sources of vibration should be
eliminated. Extreme cleanliness must be observed during
installation, and damage to the seal faces and mounting rings must
8
be avoided. The O-rings may be oiled to reduce friction, during

installation of the seal. EP-rubber O-rings are an exception,
however, and should not come into contact with oil or grease;
7
In this case lubrication with glycerine or water is

recommended.
6
Special care must be taken when mounting O-rings of double-

PTFE-coated elastomers; apart from having a 2 x 30° mm bevel, all
edges should be deburred and rounded. When mounting O-rings
of double PTFE-coated elastomers care must be taken to

GENERAL NOTES
• It is essential that all the instructions contained in the following documents be carried
out by a competent person. Should any problems be anticipated or encountered then
Euroflex Transmissions personnel are available for site visits or, alternatively, repairs
and overhauls can be undertaken in our works.
• Prior to performing any maintenance work (including inspections) it is essential that the
power supply is isolated and that no accidental movement of rotating machinery is
possible.
• This product is designed for a specific purpose. It is vital that it is not used for any
purpose other than that for which it is designed and supplied, and that the limits of it’s
capacities, as detailed here or in any other document, are not exceeded.
• No liability will be accepted and any other warranty, either expressed or implied, will be
null and void should any component of whatever kind, including nuts, bolts and
washers, be used in the assembly, or modifications be made to all or part of the
product which are not supplied, specified or agreed by Euroflex Transmissions.
DO’S
• The following instructions should be read and understood prior to starting any
assembly or maintenance work on the disc coupling.
• Prior to filling any component, care should be taken to ensure that it is clean and free
from any dirt.
• Where hub/shaft connections require a standard interference fit the hubs may be
heated in oil at 200-250 Celsius and rapidly positioned on the shaft. It is essential that
this heat is evenly applied over the whole hub and that spot heating is avoided.
DON’TS
• Do not use any component that is not supplied or approved by Euroflex Transmissions
in the assembly of this product.
• Do not attempt, where the weight of the unit is excessive, to lift the coupling without the
use of lifting equipment.
• The inherent balance of these couplings could be disturbed if they are allowed to be
knocked either by striking or rolling. Care should be taken when transporting and fitting
to avoid such knocks. This particularly when a coupling is specifically balanced.
DESCRIPTION OF COUPLING
The coupling is of the dry laminated diaphragm or disc type. Flexibility is obtained by the
deformation of the disc packs, within defined limits, which are separated by a tubular
spacer.
Individual laminations are of regular polygonal profiles which are assembled into a stack of
previously designated thickness and secured by bushing. Flexibility is accomplished by
connecting through the bushed holes, on a common pitch circle diameter, by means of
bolts, alternately, to driving and driven components.
The bolts, bushes and associated holes are machined to close limits associated with “fitted
bolts”. Due to the need for reasonable ease of assembly, interference fits are undesirable
and, consequently, tolerances are such as to allow for a close slide or slight transition fit.
To compensate for these clearances and to ensure the best possible concentricity
between components, the pitch circle diameter of the bolt holes in the flexible element is
made smaller that that of the mating holes in the adjacent components. On assembly, all
inherent clearances are, therefore, eliminated. Coupling bolts are sized such that they are
capable of including a load equivalent to 4 times the tensile load in the flexible element
laminations, between driving and driven bolt, when transmitting the full rated continuous
torque of the coupling. This assumes a coefficient of friction between the various
components of 0.25 but experience has shown that, due to the high loads induced, minute
compressive deformation is sufficient to raise this to about 0.3.
The reason for adopting this principle of using large, highly loaded, bolts is two-fold a (to
prevent interface slip, as already mentioned, and b) to eliminate any chance of bolt
bending due to the overhung radial loading imposed by the flexible element. Avoiding
either slip or bending helps to avoid fretting which occurs when bolts are designed only to
drive in shear.
In general, the design is identical to a large number of units already in operation.
OPERATING CONDITIONS
In operating the flexible elements are subjected to both tensile and bending stresses, each
having an influence on the allowable magnitude of the other. It is important, therefore, that
the operating limits of the various deflections for which the coupling is designed to
accommodate, are kept, as far as practicable, within those indicated on the “Allowable
Misalignment Curve” which was individually supplied with the final engineering data.
In practice, the initial alignment of the coupling should be as close as possible and within
the alignment limits given in the “Installation Instructions”. This will allow for changes
during operating to remain within allowable limits.
As the Euroflex units are designed to transmit the torque in friction between the driving and
driven bolts and the flexible elements, it is essential that, should the need arise, these
bolts should be correctly tightened to the torque indicated on the assembly drawing or in
the “Installation and Maintenance instructions”.
Torque and speed should remain within the originally specified conditions.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
No liability will be accepted, and any warranty, either expressed or implied, will be null and
void should any components of whatsoever kind, including nuts, bolts and washers, be
used in the assembly or any modifications be made to all or part of the unit which are not
supplied, specified or agreed by Euroflex Transmissions Ltd.
For general Safety, Alignment and Maintenance Instructions see other sections of this
manual.
IMPORTANT
When tightening any bolts or screws, this should be done evenly, i.e. cylinder head
fashion, to 50% torque then to 100% torque in the same sequence.
Threads should be lubricated with Molybdenum Disulphide grease or equivalent.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. With the Motor Rotor in it’s central axial position, check the distance between the
machinery shaft ends is xxx +/-0.1mm (This gives a 0.7 mm pre-stretch when the
coupling is installed.
2. Check that the parallel & angular misalignment of shafts is within the limits defined on
the separate Alignment Instructions sheet.
3. Fit the Hubs (items 1 & 2) to their relevant shafts, ensuring that the Motor hub (item
1) face finishes flush with the motor shaft end.
4. Check the distance between the Hub faces is xxx mm +/-0.25 mm.
5. Insert the Spacer Assembly (item 3) between the Hubs and align Match Marks (or
Serial Numbers) by rotating the Spacer or machinery shafts.
6. Insert the Element Assemblies (item 4) between the Spacer & Hub flanges (item 1,2
& 3)
7. Fit Coupling Bolts, Overload Washers & Nuts (item 5/6/7) as indicated on the drawing
and torque tighten, cylinder head fashion, to the value shown on the drawing,
ensuring threads are correctly lubricated.
General maintenance of the coupling consists of an annual (or other agreed period) check
of the following :
• Axial, Angular & Parallel misalignment to ensure these are still within acceptable
limits and that no major machinery movements have occurred.
• All bolts to ensure they are correctly tightened.
• The Flexible Elements, by visual inspection, for signs of fatigue cracking local to the
washer anchor points or general signs of fretting corrosion. Slight bowing or “S” like
distortion of the laminations is not detrimental to the unit operation.
NOTE : Any requirement for spare part should be made quoting the Original Purchaser,
Original Order Number & the Coupling Serial Number (this will be etched
on the major coupling flanges as BTLxxxx and should appear on all post
production Quality documents).
ALIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
Euroflex Transmissions couplings will accept substantial amounts of misalignment, the

configuration of each individual unit defining the actual acceptable level. The allowable
misalignment is shown graphically on a curve produced uniquely for any unit. This curve
shows the maximum permitted level of misalignment for operation and is NOT intended to
define setup limits.
ALIGNMENT METHOD :
Each company ahs it’s own method for aligning machinery all of which well documented in
both internal and freely available documents and books. Hence it is not our intention to
describe methods for setting machines. Instead, the following gives guidelines for quick
checks for alignment suitable after initial installation and for general maintenance checks.
AXIAL :
The suggested limits for axial set-up distance between the machinery shafts will, generally,
be specified in the installation instructions unique for the coupling. However, as a general
rule, the following may be used.
4-bolt couplings:- +/- 0.4mm

These values may be exceeded in certain cases and, if no reference is made in the unique
installation instructions, reference should be made to Euroflex Transmissions.
PARALLEL/RADIAL/ANGULAR :
Having basically aligned the machinery shafts using one of the established techniques, the
coupling may be installed as per the instructions. It is then worth performing a check to
establish that the overall alignment is correct for the particular coupling. This may be
simply performed by one of the following two methods:
• Attach a dial indicator securely to the back of one of the coupling flanges, with the
needle in contact with the flange face the other side of the flexible element as near
the outside periphery as possible. Rotate the machinery & coupling and locate the
minimum reading position. At this position, set the dial reading to zero. Rotate the
machinery again and record the maximum reading over 360 degrees. Divide this
maximum value by the coupling flange diameter to gain a value in mm/mm, which
should be no greater than that shown in the following list. (This should be repeated at
both flexible elements in a spacer coupling).
• An alternative method is, where possible to accurately measure the distance across
the flanges which sandwich the flexible element to obtain a maximum and minimum
value. The difference between these two values should the be divided by the flange
outside diameter to obtain a value in mm/mm, which should be no greater than that
shown in the following list. (This should be repeated at both flexible elements in a
spacer coupling).

NOTE : These values are intended as guides only and, in certain cases, may be
exceeded, IF IN DOUBT, CONTACT EUROFLEX TRANSMISSIONS.

2 DESCRIPTION.
.1 Introduction.
The bearing supplied is one of the Michell Standard Vertical Series, as

manufactured by Michell Bearings. The Standard Vertical Series are a
standard range of vertical bearings.
Within the series a range of types are catered for;
i) S Type: This is a single thrust and guide bearing. It is designed to absorb
lateral forces from a rotating shaft, as well as a force along the shaft in one
direction only.
ii) D Type: This is a double thrust and guide bearing, designed to absorb
lateral forces from a rotating shaft, as well as a force along the shaft in either
direction.
The standard S Type may also be supplied with a Surge ring, designed to
absorb a temporary upward force.
All types of bearing can be fitted with a variety of Resistance Temperature

Devices (RTDs) to measure the temperature of the lubricating oil or pads. The
Standard Vertical Series are usually self contained with water coolers, the
bearings can also be modified for different methods of cooling (i.e. natural air
cooled, fan cooled and circulated oil variations) with minimum modifications to
the basic casing.
The bearing can also be insulated as an option to protect against stray

currents whilst the machine is in operation.
Page 5
3 HANDLING THE BEARING.
.1 Introduction.
This section points out the relevant information essential when handing the
bearing.
The bearing is supplied fully assembled (see arrangement drawing for mass
of complete bearing). Threaded holes are provided for the fitting of eyebolts
on the bearing casing and other components.
It is advisable to keep the bearing within any casing and packaging until it is
necessary to remove it for assembly.
.2 Points on Handling.
! Under no circumstances should the completed bearing be

handled manually.
! Before using any lifting equipment, ensure that it is certified to

carry a load greater than that of the bearing.
! When handling the bearing use only provided lifting points.
Make sure bearings are stored in the intended mounting position in a dry
room only.
Please check all product equipment to ensure that it is complete before
installation. Any damage due to transit must be reported to Michell straight
away.
Page 6
4 INSTALLATION.
.1 Introduction.
Prior to installation the bearing should be dismantled into a series of sub-

assemblies.
! Do not touch moving parts.
Additionally the following sub-assemblies may also be present and can be

handled manually; Circular Cooler(s), Journal Pads, Oil level gauge, RTD
assembly, Air Vent, Lower Thrust Pads and Anti-Vortex Shroud or Upper
Surge face.
The bearing is also supplied with Curil T sealant.
Remove all packaging. All parts are coated in a rust preventative. This must
be removed and all parts thoroughly cleaned before installation begins. To
remove the rust preventative, white spirit or a strong spirit based cleaner
should be used.
! There may be fumes given off during the cleaning process. Clean
parts in a well ventilated area. Always follow cleaner manufacturers’
instructions.
Use a lint free cloth when cleaning the bearing.
Page 7
.2 Assembly of the Bearing.
! The disassembling and reassembling of the equipment by an

individual who is inexperienced can cause danger. Michell will not take
on any liability for any damage resulting from non-compliance with
details given in this manual.
To assemble the bearing the below procedure should be followed which if

carried out correctly could increase the working life of the machine.
1. Coat all bearing surfaces in clean oil of the correct grade.
2. Place jointing on the sleeve.
Care should be taken when handling components to avoid the
risk of trapping hands when assembling.
3. Secure the sleeve to the baseplate with tapbolts.
If the bearing is fitted with dust seals, do not fit tapbolts.
4. Dust Seal Fitted Bearings:
• Fit seal housing to the sleeve and secure it in place with screws.
• Fit seal into housing.
• Fit seal cover and secure with tapbolts
Page 8
Dust seals require some time to bed in. Do not fully tighten the
securing bolts. For the first month operation, gradually tighten the
tapbolts.
5. Position the baseplate on to the studs located on the supporting structure
and set baseplate concentric with centreline of machine.
6. Fit thrust pad stop to baseplate.
Ensure that stop is fully tightened and locked in place with Loctite
222 or similar adhesive.
7. Fit lower thrust pads and push well in.
Check that the clearance between the pads is correct. The
clearance is given on the arrangement drawing.
Ensure that RTD fitted pads are in the correct position, as shown
on the arrangement drawing.
8. Place O-Ring into the groove in the baseplate.
9. Fit collar to the shaft and ensure that it runs true.
10.Lower the collar until it rests on the lower thrust pads.
Page 9
Check alignment. Follow the below procedure:
• Check that no thrust pads are loose (i.e. all pads are firmly clamped by the
collar).
• Use feeler gauges to check the clearances between the thrust pads pivots
and the baseplate. The clearances should be equal and no greater than
0.04mm.
When using feeler gauges, take care not to damage the
Whitemetal surfaces.
11.Fit the journal pad stop to the casing.
12. Coat both the casing and baseplate mating surfaces with sealant.
13. Lower casing into position.
14. Secure casing and base plate to the supporting structure using studs and
nuts. Torque nuts to value indicated in Appendix 2.
Page 10
This Appendix should be adhered to as over tightening could
damage the shell.
15. Fit journal pads.
Ensure that RTD fitted pads are in the correct position, as shown
on the arrangement drawing.
16.For bearings fitted with anti vortex shrouds, assemble the shroud, and bolt
on to the casing.
17.For double thrust (D type) bearings:
• Assemble the upper thrust rings, pads and stops.
• Fit thrust ring on top of the journal housing in the casing.
18. For Surge ring fitted bearings;
• Assemble Surge ring.
• Bolt Surge ring to the journal housing in the casing.
19.Place jointing in position on the casing.
Page 11
20.For bearings fitted with internal cooler, fit cooler to cover.
Take care not to overtighten the securing bolts on the cooler.
Overtightening may damage the cooler.
21. Fit cover and cooler assembly to the casing. Secure the cover to the
casing. Torque cover securing bolts to value indicated in Appendix 2.
Check the cooler. Ensure that leakage from the cooler is not
possible.
22. Dust Seal Fitted Bearings:
• Fit the dust seal into the top of the cover.
• Fit seal cover and secure it in place with tapbolts.
23.Fan Cooled Bearings:
• Assemble fan and fit it to the shaft.
• Fit RTDs, pipework elbows and any extension pieces required to allow
connections to pass through fan shroud.
• Fit fan shroud to bearing casing. Secure it in place with capscrews.
Ensure that fan shroud does not foul the fan.
24.Fit and seal in oil level gauge, blanking plugs and any thermometry or
detectors.
Page 12
Ensure that RTD assembly is not damaged and is working
Ensure that all plugs, pipework joints and instruments are secure
and sealed.
25. Connect up external pipework.
26. Remove air vent and fill bearing with oil up to the standing oil level
marked on the oil level gauge.
For temperature probe fitted bearings; run the bearing and establish a steady
state operating temperature then set temperature alarm to 5°C above the
steady state operating temperature. Shut down temperature alarm is to be set
at 10°C above steady state operating temperature.
Page 13
.3 Points before use.
The bearing is now complete, it must not be used until the items below
1. The entire machine has received a Declaration of Conformity, or has
been declared exempt from the Supply of Machinery (Safety
Regulations) Act 1992 and the Machinery Directive.
2. Lubricating oil has passed through the bearing and is at the proper
level.
Note!!
The lubricating oil must be a mineral based turbine oil inhibited against
oxidation, corrosion and foaming, with an ISO viscosity grade as
indicated on the arrangement drawing.
! Do not use the bearing unless the cooling system is operating.
Page 14
5 OPERATING.
.1 Introduction.
This section points out the risks that can occur when operating the machine.
.2 Operating Risks.
If the bearing has been correctly assembled, using the procedure already
given, there is only a marginal risk of the bearing failing which would be due to
the design conditions being exceeded. Examples of these conditions are;
overspeed, low lubrication levels and excess load. In order to avoid these
situations, it is suggested that;
i) Control panels are labelled with the bearing limitations.
ii) The shaft should be stopped immediately if;
a) Coolant circulation fails.
b) Bearing temperature exceeds normal operating temperature by
10°C.
The users’ attention is drawn to the fact that both the pipework and
bearing surface may be hot during operation.
Where bearings are fan cooled, the fan shroud must not be removed whilst
the bearing is operating.
In order to avoid leakage of lubricant, plugs, RTDs and seals must never be
removed while the bearing is operating.
Page 15
6 CARE AND MAINTENANCE.
.1 Introduction.
This section demonstrates the care and maintenance needed for the smooth
operation of the machine.
.2 Procedures.
Once the steady state operating temperature has been determined, the alarm
point should be set at 5°C above this. Shut down is to occur at 10°C above
the steady state operating temperature.
Regular inspection should be made of all seals and pipework. Any large
leakage of lubricant or coolant or sudden increase in leakage will indicate that
a seal or join is failing. Maintenance must then be carried out as soon as
possible.
If a bearing is fan cooled, the air inlet and outlets must be periodically
inspected in order to prevent the build up of dirt and waste material. Such a
build up will lead to there being insufficient air flow and overheating will occur.
Collect used oil and dispose of under the correct regulations.
Page 16
.3 Maintenance Schedule.
Oil changes will be at differing periods depending on the frequency of bearing

operation and the conditions in which the bearing is operating. Approximate
oil change times are indicated below.
Conditions. Oil Change Period.

Constant Operation, dusty Three Months.
atmosphere.
Constant Operation. Six Months.
Periodic Operation. At routine maintenance.
For a bearing that is operating constantly, routine maintenance should take

place annually. If the user only operates the bearing periodically, maintenance
periods may be able to take place less frequently, this is however at the users’
discretion. An annual inspection is recommended as a minimum service
requirement.
Page 17
.4 Dismantling.
The below procedure should be followed when dismantling the bearing.
1. Switch off machinery. Lock off controls. Secure and isolate shaft.
! Ensure control gear, barring gear and any other equipment
capable of moving the shaft is locked out and labelled “Not to be
used”.
! Beware hot oil. Allow machinery to cool off before proceeding
further.
2. Where a bearing is fitted with continuous circulation of oil, allow the
circulation to continue whilst the bearing is cooling.
3. Switch off, drain and disconnect cooling system.
4. Switch off and drain the oil supply.
! Do not disconnect the oil inlet and outlet pipework until the
bearing has been drained of oil.
5. Remove drain plug and fully drain oil from bearing.
6. Disconnect and remove any thermometry and instrumentation. With fan
cooled bearings this may not be possible, see next stage.
Page 18
7. Fan Cooled Bearings:
• Remove any connections passing through the fan shroud.
• Remove capscrews and lift off fan shroud.
• Dismantle and remove the fan
• Remove any instrumentation, pipework and thermometry now visible.
8. Remove the top dust seal.
9. Remove cover and cooler assembly.
! Before removing bolts, fit eye bolts and lifting gear to the cover.
Ensure that the eye bolts are tight and secure.
carry a load greater than the mass of the component or sub-
assembly.
When removing the cover and cooler, take care not to damage
any equipment.
10.Remove upper surge ring, upper thrust ring or vortex shroud.
11.Fit lifting bolts and remove the journal pads from the casing.
The surge ring and journal pads will be oily and may stick. They
will also be very slippery when handling. Take care to avoid dropping
and damaging the pads and ring.
Page 19
12.Remove fasteners and lift off casing.
! Before removing bolts, fit eyebolts and lifting gear to the casing.
Ensure that the eyebolts are tight and secure.
carry a load greater than the mass of the component or sub-
assembly.
13.Jack up the shaft until there is a clearance between the collar and the
lower thrust pads.
! Ensure that jacking equipment is safely positioned and certified
to carry a load greater than the mass of the shaft.
! Once the shaft is raised, secure it in position using other
equipment. Do not rely on jacking equipment alone.
14.Remove thrust pads by sliding out.
The thrust pads will be oily and may stick to the casing. The
pads will also be slippery when handling. Take care to avoid dropping
and damaging pads.
Page 20
.5 Maintenance.
With the bearing dismantled, (refer to assembly drawing with parts list)
examine the thrust pads, journal pads and surge ring. The appearance should
be that shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 overleaf. There may be some scoring
and wear on the pads and ring, but provided wear is no greater than 0.125
mm the pads and ring are still serviceable. If there is any sign of the White
metal surface coming away from the pad or ring, they must be replaced.
Examine the jointing between the casing and cover and that between the
base plate and the sleeve. If the jointing has decayed so that it is either
disintegrating or leaking, it should be replaced.
Examine the O-Ring, if it has started to leak or decay, it should be replaced.
Inspect the collar surface for any sign of damage. If it is necessary to replace
the pads, the collar should also be replaced and repaired, otherwise the
replacement pads will have a short life.

Page 22
Clean the cooler assembly, using the below routine;
1. Remove cooler assembly from bearing cover.
2. Clean the bore of the tubes using a high pressure water jet or steam
cleaning.
3. Any remaining deposits or blockages can be removed by using a cleaning
rod or hypochlorite based cleaning solution.
! There may be fumes given off during the cleaning process. Clean
parts in a well-ventilated area. Always follow cleaner manufacturers’
instructions.
When using cleaning rods, take care not to damage the cooler
tubes.
Page 23
If the bearing is air or fan cooled, the spaces between each of the cooling fins
must be cleaned. With fan cooled bearings, the fan and shroud should be
inspected for any signs of damage caused by the two fouling each other. If
there is any damage, the parts should be repaired and alignment of fan and
shroud checked on re-assembly.
Where dust seals are fitted, these should be removed from their housings and
inspected. If the seal has started to break up, or has become clogged up with
dust and oil, it should be replaced.
Prior to re-assembly, all the old sealant should be removed and fresh sealant
applied in the positions identified in the section on Installation (4.2).
Page 24
Appendix 1 (Spares).
.1 Ordering.
As a minimum, replacements should be carried for all Whitemetal

components.
When replacing thrust and journal pads, please ensure that

these are the correct hand. The direction of rotation stamped on the
replacement pads must be the same as that on the old pads.
Consideration should also be given to holding the consumable parts listed

below:
O-Rings
