General Instructions - Flowserve Durametallic SLM-6000 Installation Instructions Manual

2.6 Ensure that the shaft or shaft sleeve has a 1.6 mm (0.06") x 30° chamfer on the
leading edge to prevent O-ring damage at seal installation.
2.7 Hardened shaft sleeves must not be used when cartridge sleeve locking is
accomplished by set screws bearing directly into the shaft sleeve. Any of the sleeve
collars that clamp the cartridge sleeve to the shaft sleeve may be used on hardened
shaft sleeves.

General Instructions

3.1 Ensure that the bearing assembly is mounted correctly (central and square) to the
pump pedestal and securely fastened.
3.2 Ensure that all fit locations on the pedestal are clean and free of burrs.
3.3 Clean the pump shaft/sleeve surface, making sure it is clean of product and rust
and has no burrs.
3.4 If the pump design requires it, bolt seal adapter plate to equipment case/pedestal
(hand tighten only).
3.5 Locate the seal fit of the adapter to the shaft by use of a dial indicator or centering jig.
The equipment shaft must be concentric to the seal adapter bore to within 0.38 mm
(0.015"). See Figure 5.
Center Adapter Plate to Shaft
3.6 For adapters provided with a centering jig, simply insert the centering jig into the
adapter and tighten adapter bolts alternately, adjusting the cover location until the
centering jig can be removed by hand without binding.
3.7 Apply a light coat of O-ring lubricant to the seal sleeve O-ring. (Silicone grease must
be used with EPDM gaskets.)
Warning: Do not apply anti-seize or other lubrication to the pump shaft/sleeve. Keep
the shaft/sleeve clean and dry. The use of lubricants will cause improper clamping
pressure by the clamp collar.
