Introduction – Special Feature
Journal Bearing Design
• The axial and double radial Journal bearing made of “pure”
Sintered Silicon Carbide (SSiC) in standard design is
designed with the following features:
▫ Spherical locking sleeve for axial and radial centering.
▫ Bearing sleeves with a sphere for axial and radial
centering.
Introduction – Special Feature
Journal Bearing Design
▫ Bearing bushes with double interference fit assembly to
avoid axial torsion and radial displacement.
▫ Radial centering of the bearing sleeves in the axial thrust
bearings in the same material (SiSiC) results in the same
expansion factor over the complete temperature
application range.
▫ No edge loads induced by radial loads at the surface of
the bearing sleeves and the bearing bushes.
Introduction – Special Feature
Internal Flow & Pressures

• The well-defined pressurized internal flush flow, which is

fed into the area of magnetic drive, guarantees the
necessary heat dissipation of the magnetic losses.
Introduction – Special Feature
Magnetic Drive System
• The magnet drive system transmits the torque without slip
by a permanent magnetic field. The magnets made of
thermally stable samarium cobalt material (Sm2Co17) are
suitable in standard for a maximum allowable operating
temperature of 250°C (300°C).
Introduction – Special Feature
Magnetic Drive System
• Special magnetic drive systems based also on Sm2Co17
material are suitable for an operating temperature up to
450°C.
• The central assembly of the magnetic drive system over the
journal bearing avoids moment loadings on the journal
bearing, thus avoiding eccentric loading of the inner
magnet rotor during startup and shut-down.
Introduction - Nameplate
• The following information is included in the nameplate of
your pump unit:
▫ Serial number
▫ RPM
▫ Head
▫ Capacity
▫ Impeller diameter
 Operation, Inspection & Maintenance
Startup
Method:
• 1. Before starting the pump, check the security of all bolting,
piping, and wiring.
• 2. Check all gauges, valves and instruments for proper working
order.
• 3. Check all equipment for proper lubrication and correct rotation.
• 4. Verify that the discharge valve is closed.
• 5. Open the suction valve.
• 6. Open discharge valve and allow pump to fill with fluid (pump is
self-venting).
• 7. Keep the valves open approximately 60 seconds to ensure that
pump is completely full of fluid.
 Operation, Inspection & Maintenance
Startup
Method:
• 8. Close discharge valve.
• 9. Uncouple the driver and the pump.
• 10. Start, and IMMEDIATELY STOP, the driver and observe
the rotation of the shaft.
• 11. Correct rotation should be in direction of rotation arrow.
• 12. Priming accomplished and correct shaft rotation
established, the pump is ready for continued operation.
• 13. Securely couple the driver and the pump, and ensure the
discharge valve is open to approximately ¼ fully open.
• 14. Start driver again, and completely open the discharge valve
IMMEDIATELY when the operating speed has been reached.
Operation, Inspection & Maintenance
Checks with a running pump
• Check the pump for smooth and vibration-free running.
Unusual noises indicate a malfunction.
• Check the oil level regularly for oil-lubricated ball bearings.
• The oil level should be centered in the gauge glass and the
constant level oiler should always be filled.
• Check the temperature of the ball bearings at the bearing
bracket measuring points specified by the manufacturer. It
should not exceed 85°C. If the pump is equipped with
temperature monitoring at the bearing outer ring, a
maximum of 100°C is admissible.
• Monitor the power consumption of the drive. Check if the
installed monitoring devices are correctly connected and
function properly.

Operation, Inspection & Maintenance
Lubricating the journal bearings
• The journal bearings are lubricated by the
pumped medium. The journal bearings are
provided with a defined and sufficient
amount of lubrication and work wear-free
and maintenance-free for intended use and
operation of the pump. We refer to the
following specifications for monitoring the
intended operation.
Operation, Inspection & Maintenance
Lubricating the ball bearings
• Recommended Lubricant: ISO VG 68 non-
detergent oil (turbine quality preferred).
• Quantity: Approximately 2.8 L
• Oil change: The first oil change must be
conducted three weeks or 500h after initial
commissioning. Then the oil change must be
conducted at least annually.
Operation, Inspection & Maintenance
Lubricating the ball bearings
• The oil change must be conducted as follows:
▫ Turn off the drive machine.
▫ Drain oil and clean the bearing bracket (Ident. no. 330)
with a suitable cleaning agent.
▫ Remove the venting filter (Ident. no. 673) and add ¾ of
the oil using a funnel.
▫ Remove the constant level oiler container (Ident. no.
638) and fill the bearing bracket with oil using the
constant level oiler container.
▫ Attach the container to the constant level oiler
▫ Fill the container until it is filled to at least two thirds.
Operation, Inspection & Maintenance
• Pump assembly and disassembly method can be found
inside pump operating and maintenance manual.
• Upon pump disassembly, inspect all components for
corrosion, erosion, pitting, and scoring. If required,
replace with Ruhrpumpen O.E.M. genuine replacement
parts.
▫ Visual check all individual parts for any damage.
▫ Check the case for wear.
▫ Check the impeller for wear.
▫ Check the radial clearance for wear.
▫ Check the antifriction bearings.
▫ Check all auxiliary piping.
▫ Check for transmission elements of the coupling.
