Chapter 5 Maintenance and Inspection 5.4.12.2 Disassembly of Low-stage Thrust Bearing Block Figure 5-12 Low-stage Thrust Bearing Block Photo 041 Unlike the high-stage, the low-stage thrust bearing block of 3225**C is using an oil supply spacer for the combined surface. This is to facilitate lubrication of the ball bearing because as the rotor diameter becomes larger, the rotor shaft diameter become larger.
2202MYJE-MY-C8-N_2018.02. Chapter 5 Maintenance and Inspection 5.4.13 High-stage Rotors and Main Rotor Casing 5.4.13.1 Disassembly a) While you can pull out the rotor either from the M or F side, you should be very careful in the work as either rotor is very heavy. When pulling out the M rotor (or F rotor) first, pull out about 2/3 of the full length of the rotor by holding the shaft upward and turning it in the CW (or CCW) direction.
2202MYJE-MY-C8-N_2018.02. Chapter 5 Maintenance and Inspection 5.4.13.2 Inspection a) No abnormality should be observed on the surface of the rotor lobes under normal operations. Regarding the contact surface of the teeth, black luster should be seen on the root area of the M rotor lobes and on the tip area of the F rotor lobes.
2202MYJE-MY-C8-N_2018.02. Chapter 5 Maintenance and Inspection 5.4.15 High-stage Bearing Head and Main Bearings On the rotor mounting side of the bearing head [11-2], there is a gas discharge port as determined by the operating conditions of the compressor. This discharge port affects the performance of the compressor.
2202MYJE-MY-C8-N_2018.02. Chapter 5 Maintenance and Inspection b) Check the condition of the surface of the bearing head on the rotor side, where the discharge port is. Properly mend the surface if any flaw is observed. If the entire surface has significant flaws, either the thrust bearing is defective or the end clearance adjustment is poor.
2202MYJE-MY-C8-N_2018.02. Chapter 5 Maintenance and Inspection 5.5 Reassembly During the reassembly work, be very careful in selecting the correct replacement O-rings of the specified standard, not to make a mistake regarding the size, material, for fixed use, for sliding use, etc. Using a wrong O-ring can lead to oil leak or other problems.

2202MYJE-MY-C8-N_2018.02. Chapter 5 Maintenance and Inspection 5.5.3 Bearing Head and Main Rotor Casing Since the bearing head gasket [12] is not symmetrically shaped, carefully check the orientation when installing the gasket. If you place the bearing head gasket by just hanging it on the stud bolts, the gasket will protrude into the inside of the rotor casing when the casing is assembled.
2202MYJE-MY-C8-N_2018.02. Chapter 5 Maintenance and Inspection 5.5.4 Installing the Rotors Note on the rotor profile of 3225**C The rotor profile has been changed from the A profile to O profile from the production in November 1993. The biggest difference is the existence of lobe tip edge, as the A profile with lobe tip edge has been changed to the O profile, which has no lobe tip edge.
2202MYJE-MY-C8-N_2018.02. Chapter 5 Maintenance and Inspection 5.5.5 Suction Cover and Side Bearings a) Similarly to the main bearing, the side bearing (O-ring type) [28] is machined to the size that will allow light press fitting to the suction cover.

2202MYJE-MY-C8-N_2018.02. Chapter 5 Maintenance and Inspection b) If thrust bearing has a "V" marking on the outer circumference, it means that the installation direction of the bearing will sensitively affect clearance adjustment. In this case, the bearing must be installed with the pointed end of the marking pointed toward the inside of the machine.
2202MYJE-MY-C8-N_2018.02. Chapter 5 Maintenance and Inspection When the thrust bearing has been replaced, the dimensional difference between the sides of the inner race and outer race varies even if it is within the tolerance of the applicable standard specification. As such, if the thickness of the thrust bearing alignment spacer that has been used is insufficient, and if the lock nut is securely tightened from the first, the end clearance between the rotor shaft end and the end face of the discharge side bearing head will...
2202MYJE-MY-C8-N_2018.02. Chapter 5 Maintenance and Inspection c) Without inserting the conical spring washer, tighten the four fastening bolts of the bearing gland sequentially and evenly up to the specified tightening torque (Photo 083). Tightening each bolt at once at the specified torque must be avoided because it will result in uneven tightening. So, repeat to sequentially tighten the bolts for several times.
2202MYJE-MY-C8-N_2018.02. Chapter 5 Maintenance and Inspection (3) Measuring the run-out of the rotor shaft (low-stage M rotor) If the end clearance adjustment has been successfully completed, then measure the run-out of the low-stage M rotor shaft using a dial gauge at the point of the mechanical seal attachment and turning the shaft by hand (Photo 084).
