3.2 Shaft Sealing

Basically there are two kinds of shaft sealing: the
packing and the mechanical seal, whereas, there
again are many variants of both kinds. At the data
sheet and / or the order confirmation the shaft sealing
type of your pump is shown.
An instruction for the packing of a stuffing box resp.
for the mounting and operation of mech. seals can be
found in the appendix of the particular "Mounting
Instructions of the Shaft Sealing".
Further details about packing and mech. seals,
as well as the therewith connected accidental
dangers, you can find in chapter 6.6 and in
chapters 7.2 and 7.3.
In areas endangered to explosion the use of
pumps with packing is forbidden!

3.3 Bearings

The pump shaft is guided by antifriction bearings. In
the data sheet and / or order confirmation you can
see, if your pump is designed for oil lubrication
(standard design) or grease lubrication (special
design).
In areas endangered to explosion the use of
pumps with grease lubricated bearings is
forbidden!
3.3.1 Used bearings
The size of the bearing bracket of your pump is shown
in the data sheet and / or order confirmation.
