Rev 4 August 2014 A.R. Wilfley and Sons, Inc. 10.0 General Pump Assembly Sequence 10.1 Power End Assembly Step 1 – Shaft assembly. The thrust bearings (16) are two taper roller bearings mounted to the shaft in a face- to-face arrangement. The radial bearing (18) is a spherical roller bearing. The thrust bearings are a matched pair and cannot be assembled by mixing and matching pairs.
Page 17
Rev 4 August 2014 A.R. Wilfley and Sons, Inc. Step 2 – Bearing Cartridge Assembly. To install the shaft assembly from Step 1 into the bearing cartridge (99), the shaft should be vertically lowered, radial bearing or keyed side first, into the bearing cartridge. If unsure which side of the bearing cartridge is which, the side that has a lip in the bore is the thrust bearing side, and that side will be the side the shaft is lowered into.
Page 18
Rev 4 August 2014 A.R. Wilfley and Sons, Inc. Step 2 – Lowering the shaft into the bearing cartridge Press fit the bearing isolaters (47) and (49) into the bearing caps (35) and (37) respectively. Next install the o- rings (35B) into the thrust bearing cap (35), and (37A) into the radial bearing cap (37). If the bearings are grease lubricated, the area directly outboard from the bearings should be packed with grease prior to assembling the bearing caps.

Rev 4 August 2014 A.R. Wilfley and Sons, Inc. 10.2 Wet End Assembly Step 6 – 7: Seal and Wet End Assembly. There are a variety of seals available for the EMW pump. Please turn to the appropriate page in table 6-1 based on which seal is installed in your pump.
Page 25
Rev 4 August 2014 A.R. Wilfley and Sons, Inc. To prevent a packing seal failure the packing in all expeller sealed pumps must be lubricated during pump operation. An o-ring (71C) seals the case and expeller cover joint and another o-ring (83C) seals the expeller cover and the stuffing box joint as seen in the figures below.

Rev 4 August 2014 A.R. Wilfley and Sons, Inc. Step 8 (Expeller Seal) – Install the expeller o-ring (4A) into the expeller and thread the impeller (2) onto the shaft. Tighten the impeller. Step 8 – Impeller Installation The impeller used with an expeller seal has long pump out vanes on the backside that extend almost all the way down to the hub.
Rev 4 August 2014 A.R. Wilfley and Sons, Inc. 10.2.2 Packing Step 6-1 – Packing Seal Assembly. The packing seal creates a simple static and dynamic seal. Step 6-1 - Packing Seal Components (Weep Configuration Shown) The packing seal consists of a stuffing box (83X) four rings of packing (13), a lantern ring (29), a spacer ring (63), a gland plate (17), a gland ring (17C), two gland studs (17A) and two gland nuts (17B).
