SKID
The skid is a fabricated steel assembly that provides a platform to mount the driver, HTC,
pump, and any associated instrumentation. The complete system is typically laser aligned
at the factory prior to shipment. The skids rigidity minimizes misalignment during
transportation, installation, and operational shock and vibration.
The pump is supported by independent cross members bolted to a V-shaped cradle
(trough). A series of clamped caps restrain the pump in the cradle. Independent cross
members allow for vertical and horizontal pump adjustment during alignment.
C.
DRIVER
HPump systems can use a wide variety of motors and engines. For specific information,
refer to the manufacturers nameplate or IOM manual.
I.
DRIVER COUPLING
Close Coupled (Grid Type)
Spacer (Grid Type)
Grid-style couplings are used to connect the thrust chamber to the motor.
Close coupled and spacer styles are offered. The spacer coupling allows
for removal and service of the HTC without disturbing process piping.
Refer to Appendix C for coupling IOM manuals.

HORIZONTAL THRUST CHAMBER

The Horizontal Thrust Chamber (HTC) is an oil lubricated device that serves three
purposes. The first purpose is to transmit the torque from the motor to the pump. The
second purpose is to isolate the motor from the thrust produced by the pump. The third
purpose is to seal the pumped fluid from the environment.
The thrust chamber uses a modular mount to accommodate various motor shaft heights.
Four different HTC models are offered based on thrust capacity required: 1.XE, 1.XT,
3.X, and 875. Each HTC is comprised of a housing, a shaft, bearings, shaft seals, and a
mechanical process fluid seal. A variety of instrumentation is offered to monitor HTC
vibration, lubrication oil level, and temperature.
I.
1.XE / 1.XT
The 1.XE and 1.XT are foot mounted thrust chambers. The 1.XT uses a
different thrust bearing assembly and an oil cooler system to achieve
higher thrust capacity.

3.X
The 3.X is a flange mounted HTC. The motor end is bolted to a vertical
mount. The 3.X is capable of higher thrust loads than the 1.XT. The 3.X
requires a pressurized oil lubrication and cooling system.
III.
875
The 875 HTC is a foot mounted assembly. This HTC has the same
footprint and uses the same style mount as the 1.XE and 1.XT. This thrust
chamber has the same thrust capacity as the 3.X and also requires a
lubrication system.
IV.
4.X / 5.X
The 4.X and 5.X HTC are used in cartridge seal applications. The 4.X is a
modified version of the 3.X HTC. A 5.X HTC is a modified version of the
1.XE/1.XT. In both versions, a longer shaft is added to accommodate a
seal chamber and cartridge seal.

MECHANICAL PROCESS FLUID SEAL

The process fluid seal is designed to keep the pumped fluid from escaping
to the environment. Typically the seal is installed in the head of the HTC
or in the seal chamber. A variety of mechanical seals and seal flush
systems are available to meet each application. Fluid properties and
service conditions dictate the type of seal and flush system to be provided.

INTAKE ASSEMBLY
The welded intake assembly bolts to the pump and the HTC. The intake allows fluid to
enter the pump. Intakes are offered in a variety of pipe sizes and flange classes to match
different pumping conditions. Intake orientation can be changed in the field (minimum
90 increments) to match the piping location.
F.
PUMP
The pump is a multistage centrifugal pump, mounted horizontally. It has multiple
stationary diffusers and rotating impellers. The pump head attaches to the discharge
assembly. The pump base attaches to the intake assembly. Two types of pumps are
offered depending on pressure and flow requirements: housed and bolted bowl.

DISCHARGE ASSEMBLY
The welded discharge assembly bolts to the pump head. The discharge directs the
pressurized fluid out of the pump. A variety of pipe sizes and flange classes are offered to
match pumping conditions. The discharge assembly consists of a lap-joint type flange
which is free to rotate around the stub pipe to facilitate bolt alignment.
H.
INSTRUMENTATION
The HPump standard instrumentation package monitors the following: HTC vibration,
HTC oil level, and pump intake and discharge pressures. Instrumentation to measure
HTC oil temperature is available upon request. The instruments can be wired to a
Centrilift variable speed drive or a customers control system to safeguard the equipment.
Manufacturer IOM manuals for Centrilifts standard instrumentation can be found in
Appendix B.
SECTION THREE:
Storage and Handling
A.
STORAGE
If the HPump unit is not going to be installed and operated soon after it arrives on site,
secure and store it. Storage procedures should also be considered if the unit ever sits idle
for more than 30 days. The storage environment should be clean, dry, and well ventilated.
Preferably, this will be an indoor, protected, and secure environment. If stored outdoors,
the unit should be placed on concrete or wooden supports. Additionally, the unit should
be covered to avoid direct exposure to the weather. Never store the unit near sources of
vibration or in the vicinity of welding activity.
IOM Manual

The following recommendations should be followed when storing your HPump:

I.
MOTOR
Refer to the OEM manual for storage and handling recommendations.
Typically the motor shaft should be turned by hand 15-30 revolutions
every 30 days to avoid false brinelling of the bearings. Connect space
heaters, if supplied, to drive moisture from the windings.
II.

Fill the thrust chamber with oil to prevent oxidation. 1.XE, 1.XT, and 875
thrust chambers should be capped during storage to avoid oil leakage.
Typically the HTC shaft should be turned by hand 15-30 revolutions every
30 days to avoid false brinelling of the bearings. On HTC models
equipped with a desiccant breather, monitor and replace per the
recommendations in Appendix E.
III.
PUMP
For long term storage, the pumps should be filled with a preservative
(antifreeze or oil) and capped.
Store spares, loose shipped items or electrical components in a similar manner, preferably
in a secure and climate controlled indoor location.
B.
HANDLING
IOM Manual
Revision Date:

Confirm that lifting equipment is appropriately rated for the weight of the entire
skid assembly.
All chains, slings, spreader bars, and shackles should also be appropriately rated.
Use a four point lift to move the skid and mounted equipment.
Do not allow rigging to contact the mounted equipment.
Avoid jarring the skid.
Never attempt to lift the skids from anywhere except the provided lifting eyes.
Individual components should be lifted via appropriately rated slings.
Lift tandem skid sections separately. Never lift the skids when bolted together.
For heavy components that require maintenance or removal, or that ship loose and
require installation, use 2 man lifting techniques with correct lifting devices.
SECTION FOUR:
Installation
A.
GENERAL
As with all precision equipment, proper installation is required to provide maximum
service life and to ensure the unit is covered under warranty. API Recommended Practice
686 is the preferred reference for HPump foundation and installation issues. Basic
installation requirements are:
A firm foundation, including precise leveling of the skid.
Flexibility in the intake and discharge plumbing.
Control of the intake and discharge pressures.
Site installation of a new unit should include the following steps. Refer to the specific
topic within this section for more information.
1. Level the skid assembly.
2. Correct soft foot conditions for the motor, HTC mounting bracket, and HTC (if
installed on site).
3. Laser align any system components installed on site. Check alignment of all
components and compare to factory alignment values.
4. Check and set HTC and pump shaft extensions (a reference document is available
from HPump Engineering).
5. Replace HTC lubrication oil and fill to proper level.
6. Review customer piping for proper support.
7. Connect unit to piping and re-check laser alignment.
8. Start unit.
9. Perform hot alignment after 24 hours.

FOUNDATION
See the typical foundation drawing in Appendix D for specific foundation
recommendations.
I.
ONSHORE INSTALLATION
Mounting to a one piece concrete pad is preferred. The foundation should
be designed to accept the weight of the equipment per guidelines specified
in API-RP686. Anchor bolts must be provided at regular support points to
secure the skid to the foundation.
II.
OFFSHORE PLATFORM
Refer to the platform engineering contractor for recommendations specific
to a particular offshore installation.
C.
MOUNTING AND LEVELING

The skid requires support at each anchor location. Metal shims are normally used. Shims
should be a minimum of 8 x 8 inch (203 x 203 mm) steel or steel alloy plates, in a
selection of 1/8 inch (4 mm) thick and greater, depending on surface irregularities. The
quantity of shims at each anchor location should be minimized. The steps below should
be followed in the order presented:
1. The skid should be placed between the anchor bolts and leveled lengthwise with a
48 long digital level. The skid should be leveled within 0 to 1/10 of 1. A
hydraulic jack placed under skid cross member beams may be used to raise the
skid for shimming.
CAUTION: Do not use the hydraulic jack directly on the intake assembly,
the pump housing, or the discharge flange.
2. In order to ensure that the factory alignment is maintained once the skid is level
lengthwise, it must be leveled laterally. Starting at the motor end, place the level
across the skid and secure the bottom beam flange to the foundation with the first
two anchor bolts. After tightening each bolt, check the level to make sure the skid
has not deflected. If deflection occurs, adjust the quantity of shims at the anchor
bolt location until no level change is registered.
3. Working towards the discharge end of the skid, securely tighten each pair of
anchor bolts. Continue to adjust the quantity of shims if necessary. Check the
level laterally above each bolt location to be sure the skid is free of twist.
4. If installing tandem skids, level the second skid lengthwise following the same
procedure as Step 1.
5. Insert the dowel pins in the skid connection plates. Loosely bolt the plates
together.
IOM Manual

6. Place the level laterally across the connection plates. Adjust the shim packs on the
extension skid until the plates are level to each other. Firmly tighten the
connecting plate bolts.
7. Following the procedure in Step 3, tighten the remaining anchor bolts.
CAUTION: The HPump system must be electrically grounded per standard or
local codes to ensure personnel protection and safety.
D.
PIPEWORK
Piping to the intake and discharge connections should have at least 0.5 inch/13 mm of
flexibility in all directions. Where conditions do not allow rubberized piping or couplings,
other methods (such as a heat loop) are strongly recommended. This allows for thermal
expansion of the pump and pipe work. Another benefit is isolation from mechanical
shock.
CAUTION: Suction and discharge piping should be supported independently
from the pump or skid and field fitted to prevent induced nozzle
loading.
CAUTION: Suction and discharge headers should not be jacked, pulled, or
otherwise forced to mate with the intake or discharge flanges. This
may cause excessive pipe strain, vibration, system misalignment, or
damage.
NOTE:
I.
Piping entering or leaving the unit should be straight for 5-10 times
the nominal pipe diameter. This will prevent cavitation and other flow
restriction problems.
INTAKE PLUMBING
The standard pump intake supplied is an ANSI raised face flange. A
flexible hose, flanged at both ends, is recommended for connection
between the intake and the fluid supply to limit nozzle loading.
A burst disk or pressure safety valve is recommended upstream of the
intake. This helps prevent damage to fluid seals in the event of discharge
check valve failure or pressure surges from other sources. A check valve
in the intake supply line is discouraged, as unsafe pressures may be
present when the pump is shut down. When pumping from a tank, pressure
relief devices are not normally needed, but the intake piping should be as
short and straight as possible.
The intake may be rotated by removing the bolts fastened to the intake
body through the HTC and pump head flanges. Do not rotate the HTC
head or pump base. The intake can then be carefully rotated to the desired

position. Ensure that the bolts are reinstalled with thread lubrication and
tightened securely. New HTC and pump o-rings should be installed any
time the intake is removed. Before reinstalling, check that the pump and
HTC shaft extensions are properly set.
II.
DISCHARGE PLUMBING
Discharge plumbing must have some flexibility. Bracing or support will
prevent pump misalignment from thermal expansion or other forces at the
pump discharge. Supports should be designed so that settling, pressure
surges, or maintenance work will not place stress on the pump.
The installation of a discharge spool is recommended to be mounted
between the discharge flange and the header. This spool will allow for
easier field assembly and provides a removable discharge header section
to assist in pump maintenance. If a discharge hose is supplied, the
recommended spool is not necessary. When installing the discharge, make
sure to use the bolts that shipped loose with the discharge.
CAUTION: Do not use the shipping cap bolts to install the discharge.
Discharge bolts are specially designed to handle the
high fluid pressure.
A reverse flow check valve is recommended downstream of the pump to
prevent back flow and excessive back pressures at the intake. Any valves
should be installed at least 5-10 times the nominal pipe diameter away
from the discharge. If a recirculation line is used, the line should be piped
to the fluid source, not directly to the intake.
For applications where the pump could be started and operated at a very
low discharge pressure for several minutes (example: injection well on
vacuum), a choke valve must be installed to allow backpressure to be
simulated. This will reduce equipment up thrust wear damage.
E.
SYSTEM ALIGNMENT AND SOFT FOOT CORRECTION

Soft foot is another name for distortion. This condition exists when the frame of a
component is deformed during attachment to the skid. Soft foot results in high vibration
and misalignment. The distortion is caused by mounting surface imperfections, usually
on motors, HTC brackets, and 1.XE/1.XT and 875 HTC models. A dial indicator or laser
alignment system can diagnose which surface is causing the soft foot condition. It can be
corrected by shimming each mounting location separately.
IOM Manual

Laser alignment should be performed when installing the motor, pump, or HTC. The
alignment between all components should also be checked before and after installing
piping. Centrilift recommends that a hot alignment be performed after approximately 24
hours run time. This ensures optimal service life.
F.
DRIVER
Two types of drivers are generally used on HPump units. Electric motors are the most
common choice. In some locations, an electric motor may be impractical. For these
applications, diesel or natural gas engines can be used.
I.
MOTOR
Wiring size must meet the motor manufacturer's specification. It should be
connected to a balanced power supply by a control panel containing
suitable fuses and overload protection. When using a variable speed drive
(VSD), the typically preferred output waveform is PWM mode. Refer to
the motor OEM for their specific waveform recommendation.
CAUTION: The HPump system must be electrically grounded per
standard or local codes to ensure personnel protection
and safety.
Rotation is counter clockwise when facing the non-drive end of the motor.
TEFC type motors are normally equipped with condensation drain plugs in
the bottom of each end shield. If present, these should be removed prior to
startup. If using a sleeve bearing motor with a limited end float kit,
properly locate the motor magnetic center before installing the coupling
assembly.
Motor instrumentation could include winding RTDs, bearing RTDs, space
heater, winding thermostat, or a WPII differential pressure switch. These
options should be wired into the proper monitoring or control device.
Wiring schematics are available from the motor OEM. If using a Centrilift
VSD, contact Controls Engineering for specific instructions on wiring
motor instrumentation to the drive.
CAUTION: Motor fan rotation may be uni-directional or bidirectional. A fan rotating in the wrong direction may
allow the motor to overheat. In this case, it will be
necessary to reverse the fan mounting or replace the fan.

ENGINE
Engines are connected to the thrust chamber either by use of an integral
speed increaser mounted to the engine bell housing, or through a
separately mounted parallel shaft speed increaser. The internal gear
arrangement of the speed increaser must result in a counter clockwise
input rotation for the HTC. Engine accessories may include electric start,
radiator cooling, clutch operator, automatic speed control, and safety
shutdown panel.
CAUTION: All engine-driven HPump applications should be
coordinated with HPump Engineering and the engine
packager.
G.
INSTRUMENTATION AND ELECTRICAL DEVICES

Switches and/or sight glasses provide monitoring functions for the unit. Standard
instrumentation available includes: HTC vibration, HTC fluid level, pump intake and
discharge pressure switches. Optional HTC oil temperature instrumentation is available
upon request. Appendix B contains the manufacturers installation information for
Centrilifts standard instrumentation.
On the 1.XE and 1.XT HTC, a visual sight level gauge is standard equipment. On all
HTC models, only the thrust chamber oil level switch will be plumbed during factory
assembly. Typically the intake and discharge pressure switches will be mounted to the
skid but not plumbed. For optimal accuracy, the intake and discharge pressure switches
should be plumbed to the customers piping system.
Typically, instrumentation wiring and wiring connections will not be provided by the
factory. Instructions on connecting instruments to a Centrilift VSD should be obtained
from the Controls Engineering group. Refer to the set point charts that follow for
instructions on configuring each instrument.

DRIVER INSTRUMENTATION
A wide array of instrumentation is available for electric motor and engine
packages. Centrilifts standard electric motor instrumentation varies
depending on the application. Common options include a winding space
heater, winding thermostat, winding RTDs, and bearing RTDs. Motors
with a WPII enclosure may be provided with a differential pressure switch
for intake filters. Refer to the motor manufacturer for specific motor
option installation instructions.
SECTION FIVE:
Operation
A.
GENERAL
The multi-stage centrifugal pump is designed to operate over a specific range of pressures
and flows. A copy of the specific application design is available from your Centrilift sales
representative. It is calculated from the published head/flow curve for the specific pump
stage type. Operation outside this range may cause thrust wear to the stages and a
reduction of equipment life. Operation within the recommended range increases
efficiency and reduces power costs. Minimum intake pressure will vary with the pump
type and series. Contact your Centrilift sales representative for more information.
B.
START UP PROCEDURES
There are several items that need to be checked at the initial startup and whenever the
system has been shutdown for a significant period of time.
Verify that the pump turns the proper direction by bump starting the driver.
Check thrust chamber oil level sight glass or gauge for sufficient oil prior to starting
the pump.
If equipped with an HTC cooling system, start the system before operation and make
sure all air is purged from the system.
Check the installation of all bolting, piping and wiring.
Check all gauges, valves, and instrumentation for proper working order. Verify that
instrumentation trip settings are properly set and operational.
Make sure the suction valve is fully open.
Ensure that the pumps are primed and any gas has been purged.
Check to be sure the discharge valve is at least 25% open. It may be necessary to
adjust back pressure to stay within the pump application range until the system has
stabilized.
Verify that the unit is level and free of excessive vibration (when operating).

If operating with a variable speed drive, start at a reduced speed to check components
for leaks at a reduced pressure.
PUMP
Severe environments may require modifications to operating and maintenance
instructions. Pumps that are shut down during periods of freezing weather should be
drained and heat tape applied to prevent internal damage.
I.
FLUID SUPPLY
Ensure that intake line valves are open and that fluid is available from the
tank and/or suction header. If a boost pump is being used, it should be in
operable condition. Intake filters, if any, should be clean.
II.
PURGE
Bleed any air from the intake line, pump intake, and pump. Ensure that the
pump is primed and flooded prior to start-up.
III.
DISCHARGE VALVES
Ensure that discharge valves are properly adjusted and equipment
downstream is ready to receive fluid. Adequate back pressure must be
present to ensure the pump does not experience excessive up thrust wear
during flow stabilization (example: disposal well on vacuum).
IV.
OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
To prevent overheating, excessive wear or damage to the pump, do not
operate under the following conditions:
Operation outside of application design range.

Extended operation at the minimum head/flow rates.
When pump runs dry or loses prime.
When pumped liquid contains excessive gas or air.
When the pumped fluid contains sand or other abrasives. Small
amounts of abrasives will have a gradual damaging effect. Centrilift
makes no guarantee against the erosive action of these abrasives.

For the 1.XE and 1.XT, check the HTC oil level in the sight glass and add oil if necessary
(oil level should be within the area identified on the sight glass decal). The oil level
should be checked while the equipment is running and warm. If too much oil is added, oil
may run out the shaft seals.
NOTE:
External lube oil pump systems must be started before the main
driver is started for proper lubrication.
3.X thrust chambers have a remote oil reservoir on top of the heat exchanger. There is a
sight glass on the reservoir.
875 thrust chambers do not have a sight glass. Refer to the oil level plumbing drawing in
Appendix D for instructions on checking and adjusting the oil level.
E.
DRIVER COUPLING
Ensure that the coupling guard and other safety equipment are in place prior to startup.
The standard coupling is a steel flex grid type suitable for the application horsepower and
RPM. The steel flex design should be greased per the manufacturers IOM manual and
the service schedule shown in Section Six. Refer to Appendix C for standard coupling
IOM manuals.
Other coupling types are available upon request. For special couplings, refer to the
manufacturers IOM manual.
F.
MOTOR
The driver is normally a two pole (3600 RPM) electric motor with either ball type antifriction or sleeve type journal bearings on each end of the shaft. It should not be operated
beyond the speed limits set by the manufacturer. Follow lubrication instructions on the
driver nameplate. Refer to the motor manufacturers performance datasheet or nameplate
for frequency, speed, voltage, amperage, and service factor information.
G.
ENGINE
Optionally, a gas or diesel fueled driver may be supplied. Operation of this engine should
be per the manufacturers operating manual.

require some form of lubrication oil cooling. Refer to the manufacturer for
more information.
H.
DRIVER CONTROL PANEL

If supplied, operation should be per the manufacturers operating instructions. Contact
your Centrilift service representative for variable speed drive operation instructions.
I.
OPERATING CHECK
All gauges and instruments should indicate safe and normal conditions and pump speed
should be verified. If trouble occurs, shut the system off and refer to the troubleshooting
chart in Section Seven.
J.
SHUTDOWN PROCEDURES
The following sequence is suggested when stopping the unit:
Throttle the pump discharge valve to minimum flow.
Stop the driver at the control panel.
Shut the pump discharge valve.
When the pump shaft stops rotating, close the suction valve.
CAUTION: Do not close the suction valve until the pump shaft stops rotating.
K.
INSTRUMENTATION
Instrument trip points should be verified and properly set prior to operation. A general set
point chart can be found in Section Four. If using Centrilifts standard instrumentation,
refer to Appendix B for the manufacturers operation instructions.
NOTE:
Changing fluid properties, such as specific gravity or viscosity, or

changing pump speed will require instrument trip setting adjustments.

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
Routine preventative maintenance enables early detection of most
common problems. Dismantling of the pump and HTC for inspection is
not recommended. Contact your Centrilift service representative if
excessive wear or other internal damage is suspected. These problems may
be represented as vibration, corrosion, or leaks from the pump or thrust
chamber.
III.
ALIGNMENT
Replacement of the driver or thrust chamber requires careful realignment
of the components to ensure maximum run life. Driver replacement
requires alignment to the thrust chamber, while thrust chamber
replacement requires alignment to both the driver and the pump.
Movement or repositioning of the skid should be followed by leveling the
unit to factory specifications. Replacement of the pump should only
require alignment if the cradle has moved or the HTC is also being
replaced. It is always good practice to check system alignment when
servicing any component.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE & LUBRICATION

Lubrication should be done as part of a planned maintenance schedule. For definition of
service conditions, see the table below.
STANDARD CONDITIONS
Eight hours per day, normal or light

loading, clean environment @ 104F
(40C) maximum ambient temperature.
I.
SEVERE CONDITIONS
Twenty four hours per day operation or

shock loading, vibration, or in dirty or
dusty environment @ 104-122F (4050C) ambient temperature.
PUMP
Repair or maintenance of the pump cannot be undertaken on site. The
pump should be returned to Centrilift or a Centrilift designated facility for
service or repair. Special tools and knowledge are required to disassemble
the pump. The pump bearings are lubricated by the fluid passing through it
and require no periodic maintenance.
A worn pump can produce down thrust at a level far beyond the original
design limits of the thrust bearings. This down thrust can be very
destructive, causing premature bearing failure. If you experience the need
for thrust chamber replacement, investigate the wear condition of your
pump.
II.

Several components require replacement during the life of the thrust
chamber. If a 1.XE or 1.XT HTC is installed, the breather on top of the
thrust chamber will need to be replaced periodically. The element will turn
pink when it is time to order a replacement. If a cooling system is installed,
then the oil filter will require replacement. It is good practice to change the
filter whenever the oil is changed. For complete lubrication procedures,
refer to your Centrilift service representative. The following table outlines
recommended lubrication frequency.

Mechanical Process Fluid Seal

Proper maintenance of the pumped fluid mechanical seal will
prevent environmental contamination and premature HTC failure.
It is recommended that the weep holes on the HTC head be
regularly flushed with a lubricant or cleaner. The flush fluid should
be compatible with the pumped fluid. Do not allow the flush fluid
to flood the weep hole chamber past the bottom of the shaft. For
complete flushing procedures, refer to your Centrilift service
representative. Keeping the atmospheric side of the seal clean and
lubricated will extend seal life.
b.
HTC Cooling System

When replacing any thrust chamber connected to an external oil
cooler system, it is important to clean the entire system. This
includes all hoses, fittings, heat exchangers, pumps, and filters. Old
oil, sludge, residue, and metal particles can circulate through
replacement thrust chambers without performing this service. This
contamination can lead to premature failure. A Centrilift service
representative should be contacted to perform this service. If
cleaning and flushing are not effective, the affected cooling system
components must be replaced.

Lubrication Service Electric Motor with Ball Bearings

Lubrication procedure and grease type vary from manufacturer to
manufacturer. The type and volume of grease may change, as well
as recommendation to lubricate with the motor operating or
stationary. Frequency of lubrication service is based on the severity
of duty. Specific lubrication instructions are available from the
motor manufacturer.
All manufacturers recommend removal of any grease plug located
below the bearings for relief during lubrication, and to loosen any

hardened grease that may block the drain. Also, a minimum period
of operation should be observed immediately after adding grease.
CAUTION: Do not mix different kinds of grease (i.e.
Polyurea vs. Lithium based). Mixing grease with
different type of thickeners may destroy its
composition and physical properties. Even if the
thickeners are of the same type, possible
differences in the additive may cause detrimental
effects.
CAUTION: It is possible to over-lubricate the motor
bearings. Excess grease can build up inside the
motor on the windings and may cause isolated
hot spots.
b.
Lubrication Service Electric Motor with Sleeve Bearings

Maintain proper lubrication by checking the oil level periodically,
adding oil when necessary. The initial clearing action of the
bearing and the expansion of the oil as it comes up to the operating
temperature will cause the oil to be lighter after the motor has been
in operation. Overfilling should be avoided because the thermal
expansion may force the oil over the oil sleeve and onto the rotor.
Also, an operating oil level that is too high prevents the bearing
from clearing itself of excess oil. If the oil level goes above the
maximum shown on the sight gauge during operation, drain
enough oil to bring the level back to within the recommended
operating range.
The stationary oil level will be at the center of the oil gauge. Refer
to the motor manufacturer for the proper replacement oil. Do not
permit the operating level to fall below the minimum level shown
on the gauge.

before or during installation.
Safety Instructions
1. The following designations are used in the installation instructions to
highlight instructions of particular importance.
NOTE:
Refers to special information on how to install or

operate the seal most efficiently.
ATTENTION
Refers to special information or instructions directed

toward the prevention of damage to the seal or its
surroundings.
5. If the pumped fluid is hazardous or toxic, appropriate precautions

must be taken to ensure that any seal leakage is adequately
contained. Further information on sealing hazardous or toxic fluids
should be obtained from John Crane prior to seal installation.
6. Fluorocarbon components should never be burned or incinerated
as the fumes and residues are highly toxic. If fluorocarbons are
accidentally heated above 400C/750F, they can decompose.
Therefore, protective gloves should be worn as hydrofluoric acid
may be present.
Refers to mandatory instructions designed to prevent

personal injury or extensive damage to the seal or its
surroundings.
7. PTFE components should never be burned or incinerated as the

fumes are highly toxic.
2. Installation, removal, and maintenance of the seal must be carried out

only by qualified personnel who have read and understood these
installation instructions.
3. The seal is designed exclusively for sealing rotating shafts. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for use of the seal for purposes
other than this.
4. The seal must only be used in technically perfect condition, and
must be operated within the recommended performance limits stated in
the published Technical Data Sheet and the instructions in this manual.
Copies of the Technical Data Sheet are available from John Crane.
6. Check the correct setting and operation of all alarm systems

connected to the sealing system.
Before Starting the Equipment

1. Check the pump at the coupling for proper alignment of the driver
or motor.
ATTENTION
2. Ensure that the gland plate nuts/bolts are securely tightened

according to the pump manual instructions, and that all screws are
securely fastened.
3. Complete the assembly of the pump, and turn the shaft (by hand if
possible) to ensure free rotation.
4. Consult all available equipment operating instructions to check for

correctness of all piping and connections, particularly regarding seal
recirculation/flush, heating or cooling requirements, and services
external to the seal.
ATTENTION This mechanical seal is designed to operate in a liquid
so the heat energy it creates is adequately removed.
Therefore, the following check should be carried out
not only after seal installation, but also after any
period of equipment inactivity.
5. Check that the seal chamber fluid lines are open and free of any
obstruction, and ensure that the seal chamber is properly vented
and filled with liquid - refer to the pump instruction manual.
I-2
-1-
Dry-running often indicated by a squealing noise from

the seal area will cause overheating and scoring or
other damage to the sealing surfaces, resulting in
excessive leakage or a much shortened seal life.
Before start-up, ensure that all personnel and
assembly equipment have been moved to a safe
distance so there is no contact with rotating parts
on the pump, seal, coupling, or motor.
General Instructions
Typical Type 2 Seal Arrangement
1. Study the Engineering seal layout drawing to confirm the proper seal
arrangement for the pump being used. The Type 2 seal is designed

both to be aware of special information and because the fitting sequence
may be different depending on the construction of the pump.
ATTENTION
NOTE: It is essential to use a suitable lubricant when fitting the seal.

The recommended lubricants for elastomeric bellows are soft
hand soap and water, or glycerine; do not use washing-up liquid,
liquid soaps, or hand cleaning gels. Light mineral oil may be used
sparingly with most elastomers.
ATTENTION
3. Clean the shaft, and lightly lubricate the shaft and the neck of
the bellows.
4. Carefully slide the seal along the shaft beyond the seal location
mark. Position as shown in the installation dimensions and secure
the abutment collar, then slide the seal unit back against the
abutment. Check that the drive ring dogs are correctly engaged,
and that the spring, spring holder and spring adapter (if supplied)
are correctly located.
Do not use hydrocarbon-based liquids on ethylene

propylene bellows, and do not use grease (including
silicone grease) on any elastomer bellows.
1. Remove the protective packaging from the seal; check for any damage,
and wipe clean.
ATTENTION
Installation of the seal unit to its working length should be

completed within 15 minutes to ensure that the elastomer
bellows is correctly positioned before the neck of the
bellows grips the shaft.
NOTE: Fit the seal by applying a steady pressure directly to the tail of the
bellows, preferably using a close-fitting shaft sleeve with the seal
spring, holder and adapter temporarily removed.
Check that the seal face is located in the retainer with the
lapped face outwards, and take care that the face does not
drop out of the retainer when handling and fitting the seal.
5. Wipe the lapped surface of the seal face/primary ring perfectly clean
and dry. Install the seal housing; locate the gland plate squarely on the
fixing studs, and pull on the plate to compress the seal spring as
necessary to fit the retaining nuts.
2. Fit the seat/mating ring into the gland plate as described in the
appropriate seat instruction manual. Check that the gland plate o-ring
or gasket is in position and will not be displaced during fitting, and
then position the gland plate on the shaft clear of the seal location.
6. Tighten the nuts sequentially to the torque recommended by the pump

instruction manual. Do not overtighten.
Decommissioning the Equipment
Removing the Seal
1. Ensure that the pump is electrically isolated.
1. Referring to the pump instruction manual, dismantle the equipment

sufficiently to expose the gland plate and seal housing.
If the equipment has been used on toxic or hazardous fluids,

ensure that the equipment is correctly decontaminated and
made safe prior to commencing work. Remember that fluid
is often trapped during draining and may be present inside
the seal chamber. The pump instruction manual should be
consulted to check for any special precautions.
2. Evenly slacken and remove the gland plate nuts, and carefully slide
the plate off the studs.
3. Remove the seal housing, clean and oil the shaft, and then complete
the removal of the seal and the gland plate assembly, in the reverse
order to installation.
2. Ensure that the pump is isolated by the appropriate valves.

Check that the fluid is drained and pressure fully released.
NOTE: Although the original seal position may be marked on the shaft
or sleeve as a reference point before seal removal, the location
must be checked even if the same seal and seat/mating ring
specification is intended as a replacement.
A seal unit should always be serviced after removal from duty. It is
recommended that used seals are returned to a John Crane Service
Centre, since rebuilding to as-new specification must be carried out by
qualified personnel.
It is the responsibility of the equipment user to ensure that

any parts being sent to a third party have appropriate safehandling instructions externally attached to the package.
Operation and Maintenance
Quality Assurance
Although the seals should be looked at regularly for signs of leakage, a

correctly selected mechanical seal will normally run for long periods without
attention and it should not be disturbed unnecessarily.
This seal has been assembled in accordance with John Crane Quality
Assurance Standards and with proper maintenance and use will give safe
and reliable operation to the maximum recommended performance as
shown in any relevant approved John Crane publication.
If leakage does occur, it should be attended to as soon as possible because

the leakage could become a hazard. It should be noted that, while the leakage
may be due to worn seal faces, damaged bellows or o-rings, it could also be
because of some change in duty conditions or some change in the equipment
such as worn bearings or increased vibration.
Check carefully for the root cause for leakage when the equipment is stripped.
No maintenance of a seal is possible while installed. Therefore, it is
recommended that a spare seal unit and mating ring be held in stock to allow
immediate replacement of a removed seal.
It is recommended that used seals are returned to a John Crane Seal
Rebuilding Center, as rebuilding to as-new specifications must be carried out
by qualified personnel.

GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING
LISTED*

Description
The Murphy shock and vibration switches are available in a variety of
models for applications on machinery or equipment where excessive
vibration or shock can damage the equipment or otherwise poses a
threat to safe operation. A set of contacts is held in a latched position
through a mechanical latch and magnet mechanism. As the level of
vibration or shock increases an inertia mass exerts force against the
latch arm and forces it away from the magnetic latch causing the latch
arm to operate the contacts. Sensitivity is obtained by adjusting the
amount of the air gap between the magnet and the latch arm plate.
Applications include all types of rotating or reciprocating machinery
such as cooling fans, engines, pumps, compressors, pump jacks, etc.

INSTALLATION
WARNING: STOP THE MACHINE AND DISCONNECT ALL
ELECTRICAL POWER BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION.
The VS2 and VS94 series shock switches are sensitive to shock and
vibration in all three planes of motion - up/down, front/back and side/side.
Front/back is the most sensitive (The reset pushbutton is located on the
front of the unit). For maximum sensitivity mount the unit so that the
front faces into the direction of rotation of the machine. (See Dimensions on
page 2 for sensitivity adjustment location).
The VS2 and VS94 Series must be firmly attached/mounted to the machine
so that all mounting surfaces are in rigid contact with the mounting surface
of the machine. For best results, mount the instrument in-line with the
direction of rotating shafts and/or near bearings. In other words, the reset
push button should be mounted pointing into the direction of shaft rotation
(see page 5). It may be necessary to provide a mounting plate or bracket to
attach the VS2 and VS94 Series to the machine. The mounting bracket
should be thick enough to prevent induced acceleration/vibration upon the
VS2 or VS94 Series. Typically 1/2 in. (13mm) thick plate is sufficient. See
illustrations on page 5 for typical mounting locations.
CAUTION: A dust boot is provided on the reset pushbutton
for all series to prevent moisture or dust intrusion. The sensitivity
adjustment for model VS2EX is not sealed; therefore, mounting
orientation should be on a horizontal plane or with the sensitivity adjustment

pointing down. Sensitivity adjustment for model VS2 is covered by a plug.
The plug must be in place and tight to prevent moisture or dust intrusion.
C-Clamp Installation (VS2C model only)

A C-Clamp is supplied with the VS2C model only.
The C-Clamp is shipped installed on the VS2C
but must be installed on the VS2EX and
VS2EXR switches.
1. The C-Clamp (B) will already be installed on
a 1/4 in. (6 mm) thick steel mounting plate
(A). Bolt the VS2 switch to the mounting
A
plate as illustrated with four 5/16 in.
B
bolts, nuts, and washers.
2. The mounting location should provide
convenient access to the TATTLETALE
push button (C).
3. The hardened set screw and nuts (D) are used to
tighten the switch to an I-Beam or cross member such as a
Sampson post of an oilwell pumpjack.
Continued on next page.
INSTALLATION Continued
All Models
WARNING: STOP THE MACHINE AND DISCONNECT ALL
ELECTRICAL POWER BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION.
1. Firmly secure the unit to the equipment using the base foot mount or
C-Clamp if applicable. See C-Clamp Installation page 3.
For oilwell pumpjacks attach the VS2 and VS94 Series to the Sampson
post or walking beam. See Typical Mounting Locations page 5.
2. Make the necessary electrical connections to the vibration switch. See
Internal Switches, page 6 for electrical terminal locations and page 7 for
typical wiring diagrams. DO NOT EXCEED VOLTAGE OR CURRENT
RATINGS OF THE CONTACTS. Follow appropriate electrical
codes/methods when making electrical connections. Be sure that the run of
electrical cable is secured to the machine and is well insulated from
electrical shorting. Use of conduit is recommended.
NOTE: If the electrical cable crosses a pivot point such as at the pivot of
the walking beam, be sure to allow enough slack in the cable so that no
stress is placed on the cable when the beam moves.
If conduit is not used for the entire length of wiring, conduit should be
used from the electrical supply box to a height above ground level that
prevents damage to the exposed cable from the elements, rodents, etc. or
as otherwise required by applicable electrical codes. If conduit is not
attached directly to the VS2 and VS94 Series switch, use a strain relief
bushing and a weatherproof cap on the exposed end of the conduit. A
drip loop should be provided in the cable to prevent moisture from
draining down the cable into the conduit should the weathercap fail.
allow the machine to stop. Turn the sensitivity adjustment 1/4 turn
clockwise, (adjustment for VS94 and VS2EXRB models is located within
the box, see DETAIL B).
WARNING: MAKE THE AREA NON-HAZARDOUS BEFORE
OPENING THE EXPLOSION-PROOF (-EX) ENCLOSURES.
Depress the reset button and restart the machine. Repeat this process until
the unit does not trip on start-up.
DETAIL B
5. If the instrument does NOT trip on startup, stop the machine. Turn the sensitivity
adjustment 1/4 turn counter-clockwise.
Repeat the start-up/stop process until the
instrument trips on start-up. Turn the
sensitivity adjustment 1/4 turn clockwise
(less sensitive). Restart the machine to
verify that the instrument will not trip on
start-up.
All models of the VS2 and VS94 Series cover a wide range of sensitivity.
Each model is adjusted to the specific piece of machinery on which it is
installed. After the switch has been installed in a satisfactory location (see
page 5) the sensitivity adjustment will be increased or decreased so that the
switch does not trip during start-up or under normal operating conditions.
This is typically done as follows:
1. REPLACE ALL COVERS, LIDS, AND
ELECTRICAL ENCLOSURES.
2. Press the reset push button to engage the magnetic latch. To be sure the
magnetic latch has engaged, observe latch
DETAIL A
through the window on the VS2 and
VS2C (see DETAIL A). On the
Reset Push button
VS2EX, VS94 series the reset button
will remain depressed meaning the
magnetic latch has engaged.
3. Start the machine.
4. If the instrument trips on start-up,

6. Verify that the unit will trip when abnormal shock/vibration exists.
VS94 Time Delay Adjustment

1. Apply power to the time delay circuit. (see
page 7 for time delay circuit). The time delay function will be initiated.
2. Time the length of the delay with a watch. Let time delay expire. After it
expires, the override circuit will de-energize the solenoid, allowing the latch
arm to trip. A clicking noise is heard.

Description
The L129 Series Lube Level Swichgage instrument is a combination lube level indicating gauge with adjustable low and
high limit switches. It provides protection against low oil level or high level
caused by overfill or fuel or water seepage into the crankcase. A 6-3/4 inch
(171 mm) deep sight gauge allows you to check the condition and level of
your oil without shutting down the equipment.
Fingertip adjustable limit switch contacts are adjustable thru 4-7/8 inch (122
mm) range. When the float touches the high or low limit contact, a normally open circuit will close which can activate alarms and/or shutdown the
equipment.
There are two models in the L129 Series: L129 and L129CK1. The L129
model is designed for grounded, low voltage electrical systems. It features a

INSTALLATION and OPERATION

NOTE: Read all instructions before beginning installation.
Mounting
1. Determine which side of the engine to mount the L129. This will normally be the
side of the engine from which it is started. Weld a slotted mounting plate to the
engine skid or attach the mounting plate to the crankcase. If a mounting plate is
not used, a support strap is recommended (see Typical Installation below).
2. Install the shockmounts in the threaded holes provided in the mounting bosses on
the rear of the L129. NOTE: We recommend using the shockmounts provided
to minimize contact bounce resulting in improper operation.
3. Attach the L129 to the mounting plate as shown below but do not tighten TOO
TIGHT since you will have to adjust the L129 later in the installation process.
Typical Installation
Customer Supplied Vent
Support Strap
Shockmount
L129 vent back to the crankcase. If you do not do this, the L129 will indicate
high level with a pressurized crankcase and a low level with a vacuum crankcase.
In extreme cases a pressurized system will blow oil out the vent tube or in vacuum crankcases can suck oil out of the L129.
To vent the L129 back to the crankcase, install a 1/4 inch (6 mm) O.D. or larger tubing (copper or flexible) from the L129 vent fitting to a point in the
crankcase above the full oil level or in the fill pipe that is not restricted by baffles, filters or other obstructions. If connecting directly into the crankcase, be
sure the entry point is clear of oil splash that can plug the tube opening.
4. Refill the crankcase to proper oil level. With the engine running and warm, loosen
the L129 from the mounting bracket and adjust the L129 so that the oil level shows
approximately midway or above in the sight glass. Tighten shockmount nuts.
Wiring
Follow appropriate wiring for the alarm or engine shutdown system you are using.
Diagrams below are shown with the float in the full position.

2. Flexible hose or rigid pipe can be used to attach the L129 to the engine
crankcase. Flexible hose is to be 1/2 in. (13 mm) I.D. minimum and made of
quality material. Use of flexible hose will allow you to adjust the height of the
L129 to properly reflect the oil level in the crankcase. Also, a swivel connection
on one end of the hose will assist in properly aligning the L129.
WARNING: If both flexible hose and shockmounts are used, a
ground wire must be added between the L129 and the engine.
Rigid pipe is to be 1/2 inch pipe. If the length of the pipe is relatively short, no
additional support for the L129 may be needed, although it is recommended. A
pipe union is provided in the installation kit.
Attach the hose or pipe from the L129 process connection (1/2 NPT) to the
crankcase.
3. For vented crankcases, install the tube fitting and copper cane provided in the
installation kit into the top of the L129. Venting to atmosphere will allow the oil
level to rise in the L129 to the same level as in the crankcase, (the pressure/vacuum in the L129 and the crankcase must be equal). If the crankcase develops a
positive (pressure) or negative (vacuum) pressure, you MUST connect the

1. DRAIN THE CRANKCASE. If the crankcase does not have an auxiliary plug or
connection, connect the L129 to the crankcase drain plug connection. This connection will normally be a straight (parallel) thread which seals with a copper or
fiber washer. NOTE: If the drain plug on the crankcase is used for the connection,
we recommend installation of a tee to allow draining of the crankcase for service.

Operation Test
The following test is to be performed after the L129 has been installed and the
crankcase has been filled to the proper oil level.
1. With equipment running, turn the high and low adjust knobs one at a time until
they make contact with the float. When contact is made the alarm or shutdown
circuit should actuate.
2. Return high and low adjustment knobs to the proper contact position before
operating equipment.

TYPICAL INSTALLATION
Mounting (all LM300 Series models)
Mounting with Universal Bracket
NOTE: Mount the LM300 series level maintainers as close as possible

to the crankcase. Also, excessive vibration can cause overfill. Be sure
mounting brackets are supported.
The following instructions are based on the usage of the pipe and universal
mounting brackets shown above.
The universal bracket has two mounting methods: deck mounting and
pan mounting.
Deck Mounting
1. Install the universal bracket to the deck as shown in Figure 2A with two
flat washers and two 3/8 inch (10 mm) diameter bolts (not supplied).
Pipe Bracket Mounting

1. Mount a nominal 1/2 inch (21 mm) diameter pipe to the deck of the engine.
2. Install the pipe bracket to the LM300 using two 3/8-16 UNC x 1 inch
bolts supplied. See Figure 1A.
3. Slip the LM300 onto the pipe and install the two adjustment bolts. Each
adjustment bolt consists of a 3/8-16 UNC x 1 inch bolt and two nuts. See
Figure 1B. DO NOT tighten the adjustment screws too tightly because
you will have to adjust the LM300 later in the installation process.

2. Mount the LM300 to the universal bracket using two 3/8-16 UNC x 1
inch bolts supplied. DO NOT tighten the adjustment bolts too tight. You
will have to adjust the LM300 later in the installation process.
3. If space between the crankcase and mounting bracket is narrow, install
the universal mounting bracket to the LM300 before installing to the
crankcase oil pan.
Connecting Fittings and Hoses

The following instructions are for all LM300 series level maintainers.
All steps that reference oil inlet or oil supply tank DO NOT apply to
non-level-maintaining models. Also, these instructions are based on the
Murphy optional hose kit described on page 1. If you did not order the
optional hose kit, gather the hoses, clamps and fittings as specified in
the optional hose kit.
1. Install the LM300 fittings in their proper locations. NOTE: Apply a
sealant such as teflon, to all threaded connections.
2. Attach the 1 inch (25 mm) diameter, flexible monitoring hose to the
crankcase and the monitoring port on the LM300. See Figure 4.
CAUTION: The hose must slope slightly downward from the LM300
and MUST NOT have any droop or low spots.
NOTE: If the drain plug on the crankcase
is used for the connection, we
recommend installation of a tee to

Maximum head pressure
rating using standard 1/4 in. (6
mm) orifice is 15 ft. (4.6
meters). See Flow Rate test on
page 1 for additional orifice pressure
ratings.
Figure 5
3. Before filling the supply tank with
oil, be sure the tank is clean and dry andthe shutoff valve is closed.
Also, be sure all hoses and clamps are tight. Fill the tank with CLEAN
oil.
WARNING: Overfill condition can be caused by excessive

inlet pressure, (maximum inlet pressure depends on orifice),
and/or improper vent to crankcase installation.
See Flow Rate Test on page 1 for maximum pressure.
4. After oil supply tank is full, open the shutoff valve.
Next, make the proper electrical connections for the application. See
contact ratings on page 1 and schematics on page 4.
Switch Test (switch models only)

To test the shutdown and/or alarm functions
perform the following:
1. Unscrew protective boot from test knob.
IMPORTANT: Always replace boot after
testing.
2. Turn the test knob 1/4 turn to the right
(clockwise), for low test indication (Figure 6).
Figure 6
3. Turn the knob 1/4 turn to the left
(counterclockwise), for high test indication. DO NOT FORCE
THE TEST KNOB TO TURN.
NOTE: After the engine shuts down, you will notice that the oil in the
sight gauge glass will rise above normal running level, possibly
showing an overfill condition. This is a result of drain-back to the
engine crankcase and it is normal. Therefore, on models LM302 and
LM303 it may be necessary to wire the high level shutdowns into a
class B or C (bypass until first time safe) lockout, so as to allow a
permissive start. After the engine is re-started the level will pull down
to the normal running level and the shutdown features will be active. A
modulating valve (Thumb-Valve) in the level maintaining models
will allow oil usage to be made-up continuously during operation.

6.
7.
Carefully select the location and insertion depth at a point where the temperature is most likely representative of the
process temperature. It is important to avoid stagnant areas of the measured media which do not have representative
temperatures.
Locating the thermocouple where the hot end can be seen assures visual confirmation of the junction location.
Immerse the thermocouple far enough to ensure that the measuring junction is entirely included in the temperature area
to be measured. a depth ten times that of the diameter of the protection tube is recommended. Heat which is conducted
away from the hot junction will cause a lower reading due to "stem loss."
Keep the connecting head and cold junction in coolest ambient temperature available.
To prevent breakage due to thermal shock, never insert a ceramic tube into a hot area rapidly. Preheat gradually while
installing.
Avoid direct flame impingement on protecting tube. Impingement shortens the tube life and causes temperature readings
to be inaccurate.
When measuring high temperatures, install the thermocouple vertically, whenever possible. Such installation minimizes
sagging of the tube or sheath.
Extension Wire Installation

5.
Be sure to select the correct type of extension wire for a given calibration of thermocouple. (See Bulletin 300).
Use the color coding of individual wires as a guide for connecting the negative wire to the negative-wire terminal at both
the thermocouple connection head and the instrument. Red is always Negative (-).
To prevent spurious EMF due to electrostatic and electromagnetic noise, never run thermocouple extension wire in same
conduit, parallel to the conduit or near any power source. Keep thermocouple wire at least 12" from power source.
In "high noise" areas, use thermocouple extension wire with twisted and shielded conductors and a drainwire.
Select the proper insulation to meet the specific conditions under which it must perform. (See Bulletin 300).
General Maintenance
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Monthly maintenance checks are usually sufficient for base metal thermocouples. Individual conditions, however, may
require more frequent checks.
Keep rotary switches clean and free of oxidation at contact points.
When reinserting a thermocouple, it is extremely important that the depth of insertion not be changed. Be especially
careful not to decrease the depth. Wires which are not homogeneous, due to exposure to the process, will cause errors in
regions of temperature gradients.
A type K thermocouple should not be exposed to temperatures of 1600 F or higher if it is to be used for accurate
measurements below 1000 F.
Do not use thermocouples with burned-out protecting tubes. Thermocouples can become damaged with contamination if
allowed to remain within tubes of poor condition.
If thermocouples are to be connected in series, parallel or differential, refer to the diagrams on Page 3.

APPLICATION AND TECHNICAL INFORMATION

PRESSURE SWITCH
Approximate Pressure Sensing
Performance Characteristics
Corrosive Fluids
Occasionally liquids or gases are encountered that are not

compatible with the wetted parts as shown in the
catalog. When this occurs it is common practice to use a
chemical seal as an interface between the corrosive fluid
and the pressure switch.Custom Control Sensors does not
manufacture or accept orders for chemical seals. The
reason for this is to insure that the customer gets exactly
what he needs for his application.
We will drop ship switches to any manufacturer of
chemical seals that the customer may specify,or we can
recommend a suitable source of supply if asked (Note: The
customer can then place a purchase order with
appropriate instructions directly with his source of supply
so that the supplier can then coordinate the customers
wishes with the chemical seal that will be assembled,
filled,calibrated and tested to fit the needs outlined).
Typical and readily available CHEMICAL SEALS
Surge and Ripples
The Disc Spring design used in DUALSNAP switches

makes them relatively impervious to surges or pump
ripples that may be expected in conventional hydraulic
systems.
This resistance to sharp pressure changes in the media
has been the prime reason for many customers changing
to DUALSNAP pressure switches after experiencing
false shutdown and failure with other competitive design
principles such as flat metal diaphragms, bourdon tubes
and bellows type.This makes DUALSNAP switches
particularly suitable for rugged applications on off the
road machinery, heavy presses,and systems using
pulsating piston pumps
Pressure Switch
Application Conditions
Ambient Temperature: The pressure switch should be
installed wherever possible in a location that has the most
constant ambient temperature available.
Steam Service: For steam or other high temperature
applications the pressure switch should be mounted with
the pressure connection up and with three or four circular
loops,or pigtails, in the pressure lines. The vertical
mounting allows condensate to accumulate in the dead
ended pressure line and to be cooled in the pigtail which
acts as a temperature buffer between the sensing
element and the steam.
Pressure Switch Installation
The pressure switches can be mounted in any position.

When the electrical conduit is connected, it is
recommended that the conduit line (if it is over 6 feet in
length)be clamped firmly close to the switch to keep
thermal expansion from causing it to place a high stress
load onto the housing of the pressure switch.If moisture in
the conduit line is a potential problem, it is recommended
that a potting Y connection be placed between the switch
and the conduit.This will eliminate drainage from the
electrical conduit into the pressure switch housing.
Line mounting is possible and recommended for any of
our Compact pressure switches.Installation must not
impose loads on connections.
Seismic Shock and Vibration
Due to their unique design principle, DUAL

SNAP pressure and temperature switches will meet all
the conventional seismic shock and vibration
specifications now being applied to many projects such as
power plants for ecological protection.These
specifications by their severity eliminate the use of
mercury filled switching elements and many vibration
critical sensing elements found in most competitive
designs.

INTRODUCTION
This manual applies to Sizes 1020T thru 1140T and 20T thru
140T10 Falk SteelfIex Tapered Grid Couplings. Unless
otherwise stated, information for Sizes 1020T thru 1140T
applies to Sizes 20T thru 140T respectively, e.g. 1020T =
20T, 1100T = 100T, etc. These couplings are designed to
operate in either the horizontal or vertical position without
modification. Beginning in year 1994 through 2003, these
couplings were being supplied with one set of inch series
fasteners and one set of Metric fasteners. Beginning in year
2004 only Metric fasteners are being supplied. Refer to Page
6 for part interchangeability.
The performance and life of the couplings depend largely
upon how you install and service them.
CAUTION: Consult applicable local and national safety codes
for proper guarding of rotating members. Observe all safety
rules when installing or servicing couplings.
WARNING: Lockout starting switch of prime mover and remove
all external loads from drive before installing or servicing
couplings.
LUBE FITTINGS
Cover halves have 1/8 NPT Iube holes. Use a standard grease
gun and Iube fitting as instructed on Page 4.
LIMITED END FLOAT

When electric motors, generators, engines, compressors and
other machines are fitted with sleeve or straight roller
bearings, limited axial end float kits are recommended for
protecting the bearings. Falk Steelflex couplings are easily
modified to limit end float; refer to Manual 428-820 for
instructions.
LUBRICATION
Adequate lubrication is essential for satisfactory operation.
Page 2 provides a list of typical lubricants and specifications
for general purpose and long term greases. Because of its
superior lubricating characteristics and low centrifuge

properties, Falk Long Term Grease (LTG) is highly
recommended. Sizes 1020T to 1090T10 are furnished with a
pre-measured amount of grease for each coupling. The
grease can be ordered for larger size couplings.
The use of general purpose grease requires re-lubrication of
the coupling at least annually.
Long Term Grease (LTG)

The high centrifugal forces encountered in couplings separate
the base oil and thickener of general purpose greases. Heavy
thickener, which has no lubrication qualities, accumulates
in the grid-groove area of Steelflex couplings resulting in
premature hub or grid failure unless periodic lubrication cycles
are maintained.
Falk Long Term Grease (LTG) was developed specifically for
couplings. It resists separation of the oil and thickener. The
consistency of Falk LTG changes with operating conditions. As
manufactured it is an NLGI #1/2 grade. Working of the
lubricant under actual service conditions causes it to become
semifluid while the grease near the seals will set to a heavier
grade, helping to prevent leakage.
LTG is highly resistant to separation, easily out performing all
other lubricants tested. The resistance to separation allows the
lubricant to be used for relatively long periods of time.
Steelflex couplings initially lubricated with LTG will not require
re-lubrication until the connected equipment is stopped for
servicing. If a coupling leaks grease, is exposed to extreme
temperatures, excessive moisture, or experiences frequent
reversals, more frequent lubrication may be required.
Although LTG grease is compatible with most other coupling
greases, the mixing of greases may dilute the benefits of LTG.
USDA Approval
LTG has the United States Department of Agriculture Food
Safety & Inspection Service approval for applications where
there is no possibility of contact with edible products. (H-2
ratings).
CAUTION: Do not use LTG in bearings.

INSTALLATION OF TYPE T10 STEELFLEX

TAPERED GRID COUPLINGS
Installation
Only standard mechanics tools, wrenches, a straight edge and
feeler gauges are required to install Falk Steelflex couplings.
Coupling Sizes 1020T thru 1090T are generally furnished
for CLEARANCE FIT with setscrew over the keyway. Sizes
1100T and larger are furnished for an INTERFERENCE FIT
without a setscrew.
CLEARANCE FIT HUBS Clean all parts using a nonflammable solvent. Check hubs, shafts and keyways for burrs.
Do not heat clearance fit hubs. Install keys, mount hubs with
flange face flush with shaft ends or as otherwise specified and
tighten setscrews.
INTERFERENCE FIT HUBS Furnished without setscrews.
Heat hubs to a maximum of 275F (135C) using an oven,
torch, induction heater or an oil bath. To prevent seal damage,
DO NOT heat hubs beyond a maximum temperature of 400F
(205C).
When an oxy-acetylene or blow torch is used, use an excess
acetylene mixture. Mark hubs near the center of their length in
several places on hub body with a temperature sensitive
crayon, 275F (135C) melt temperature. Direct flame towards
hub bore using constant motion to avoid overheating an area.


Type T10 Sizes 10201140 & 20140
WARNING: If an oil bath is used, the oil must have a flash
point of 350F (177C) or higher. Do not rest hubs on the
bottom of the container. Do not use an open flame in a
combustible atmosphere or near combustible materials.
Heat hubs as instructed above. Mount hubs as quickly as possible
with hub face flush with shaft end. Allow hubs to cool before
proceeding. Insert setscrews (if required) and tighten.
(Page 3of 6)
Use a spacer bar equal in thickness to the gap specified in

Table 2, Page 5. Insert bar as shown below left, to same depth
at 90 intervals and measure clearance between bar and hub
face with feelers. The difference in minimum and maximum
measurements must not exceed the ANGULAR installation
limits specified in Table 2.
3 Offset Alignment
Maximize Performance And Life

The performance and life of couplings depend largely upon
how you install and maintain them. Before installing
couplings, make certain that foundations of equipment to be
connected meet manufacturers requirements. Check for soft
foot. The use of stainless steel shims is recommended.
Measuring misalignment and positioning equipment within
alignment tolerances is simplified with an alignment computer.
These calculations can also be done graphically or
mathematically.
Alignment is shown using spacer bar and straight edge. This
practice has proven to be adequate for many industrial
applications. However, for superior final alignment, the use of
dial indicators (see Manual 458-834 for instructions), lasers,
alignment computers or graphical analysis is recommended.

Align so that a straight edge rests squarely (or within the limits
specified in Table 2) on both hubs as shown above and also at
90 intervals. Check with feelers. The clearance must not
exceed the PARALLEL OFFSET installation limits specified in
Table 2. Tighten all foundation bolts and repeat Steps 2 and
3. Realign coupling if necessary.
4 Insert Grid
1 Mount Seals And Hubs

Lock out starting switch of prime mover. Clean all metal parts
using a non-flammable solvent. Lightly coat seals with grease
and place on shafts BEFORE mounting hubs. Heat
interference fit hubs as previously instructed. Seal keyways to
prevent leakage. Mount hubs on their respective shafts so the
hub face is flush with the end of its shaft unless otherwise
indicated. Tighten setscrews when furnished.
2 Gap and Angular Alignment
Pack gap and grooves with specified lubricant before inserting

grid. When grids are furnished in two or more segments, install
them so that all cut ends extend in the same direction (as detailed
in the exploded view picture above); this will assure correct grid
contact with non-rotating pin in cover halves. Spread the grid
slightly to pass over the coupling teeth and seat with a soft mallet.

ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
For extreme or unusual operating conditions, check coupling
more frequently.
1. Check alignment per steps on Page 3. If the maximum operating misalignment limits are exceeded, realign the coupling to the recommended installation limits. See Table 2
for installation and operating alignment limits.
2. Check tightening torques of all fasteners.
3. Inspect seal ring and gasket to determine if replacement is
required. If leaking grease, replace.
4. When connected equipment is serviced, disassemble the
coupling and inspect for wear. Replace worn parts. Clean
grease from coupling and repack with new grease. Install
coupling using new gasket as instructed in this manual.
Periodic Lubrication
MATCH MARK
MATCH MARK
Pack the spaces between and around the grid with as much
lubricant as possible and wipe off excess flush with top of grid.
Position seals on hubs to line up with grooves in cover.
Position gaskets on flange of lower cover half and assemble
covers so that the match marks are on the same side (see
above). If shafts are not level (horizontal) or coupling is to be
used vertically, assemble cover halves with the lug and match
MATCH MARK
LUG UP
The required frequency of lubrication is directly related to the type

of lubricant chosen, and the operating conditions. Steelflex
couplings lubricated with common industrial lubricants, such as
those shown in Table 1, should be relubed annually. The use of
Falk Long Term Grease (LTG) will allow relube intervals to be
extended to beyond five years. When relubing, remove both lube
plugs and insert lube fitting. Fill with recommended lubricant until
an excess appears at the opposite hole. CAUTION: Make
certain all plugs have been inserted after lubricating.

Whenever it is necessary to disconnect the coupling, remove

the cover halves and grid. A round rod or screwdriver that will
conveniently fit into the open loop ends of the grid is required.
Begin at the open end of the grid section and insert the rod or
screwdriver into the loop ends. Use the teeth adjacent to each
loop as a fulcrum and pry the grid out radially in even,
gradual stages, proceeding alternately from side to side.

Values may be combined for an installation or operating

condition.
Example: 1060T max. operating misalignment is .016"
parallel plus .018" angular.
NOTE: For applications requiring greater misalignment, refer
application details to the Factory.
Angular misalignment is dimension X minus Y as illustrated below.
Parallel misalignment is distance P between the hub center
lines as illustrated below.
End float (with zero angular and parallel misalignment) is the axial
movement of the hubs(s) within the cover(s) measured from 0 gap.

ALIGNMENT DATA
Maximum life and minimum maintenance for the coupling and
connected machinery will result if couplings are accurately
aligned. Coupling life expectancy between initial alignment
and maximum operating limits is a function of load, speed
and lubrication. Maximum operating values listed in Table 2
are based on cataloged allowable rpm.
Values listed are based upon the use of the gaps listed,
standard coupling components, standard assemblies and
cataloged allowable speeds.

PARTS IDENTIFICATION
All coupling parts have identifying part numbers as shown
below. Parts 3 and 4 (Hubs and Grids), are the same for both
Type T10 and T20 couplings. All other coupling parts are unique to
Type T10. When ordering parts, always SPECIFY SIZE and TYPE
shown on the COVER.
PARTS INTERCHANGEABILITY
Parts are interchangeable between Sizes 20T and 1020T, 30T
and 1030T, etc. except as noted.
GRIDS Size 1020T thru 1140T Steelflex couplings use blue
or non-painted grids. Older models, 20T thru 140T, use
orange grids.
CAUTION: Blue or non-painted grids may be used in all

applications, but DO NOT substitute orange grids for blue or
nonpainted.
COVERS CAUTION: DO NOT mix cover halves of different
designs. Sizes 1020T thru 1070T10 covers have been
manufactured in several different two-rib designs and 80T thru
140T covers have been manufactured with two and three ribs.
HARDWARE Older style covers, Sizes 1020T10 thru
1070T10, utilized socket head cap screws with captured
locknuts. The new style covers use hex head cap screws (either
inch or metric from year 1994 through 2003 and only Metric
beginning in 2004). Specify the style cover when ordering
replacement parts.

How to Use This Manual
LUBRICATION
This manual provides detailed instructions on maintenance,

lubrication, installation, and parts identification. Use the table
of contents below to locate required information.
Adequate lubrication is essential for satisfactory operation. Page

2 provides a list of typical lubricants and specifications for
general purpose greases. Because of its superior lubricating
characteristics and low centrifuge properties, Falk Long Term
Grease (LTG) is highly recommended. LTG is provided in all
pre-assembled spacer couplings.
The use of general purpose grease requires re-lubrication of the
coupling at least annually.

INTRODUCTION
This manual applies to Sizes 1020T thru 1140T and 20T thru
140T31 standard Falk SteelfIex Pre-assembled Spacer
Couplings. Unless otherwise stated, information for Sizes 1020T
thru 1140T applies to Sizes 20T thru 140T respectively, e.g.
1020T = 20T, 1100T = 100T, etc. For couplings furnished with
special features, refer to assembly drawing furnished with
coupling for proper assembly arrangement and any additional
installation or maintenance requirements. The Pre-Assembled
Spacer Assembly permits installation (or removal, as shown on
Page 3) without disturbing coupling cover, grid or grease. These
couplings are designed to operate in either the horizontal or
vertical position without modification. However, for vertical
applications, the match mark shown on Page 4 must be up.
Beginning in 1994, these couplings may be supplied with either
inch series cover fasteners or metric cover fasteners depending
on domestic or foreign shipping destinations. Refer to Page 6
for part interchangeability.
The performance and life of the couplings depend largely upon
how you install and service them.
WARNING: Consult applicable local and national safety codes
for proper guarding of rotating members. Lockout starting switch
of prime mover and remove all external loads from drive before
installing or servicing couplings. Observe all safety rules when
installing or servicing couplings.
LUBE FITTINGS
Cover halves have 18 NPT lube holes. Use a standard grease
gun and lube fitting as instructed on Page 4.
LIMITED END FLOAT

When electric motors, generators, and other machines are fitted
with sleeve or straight roller bearings, limited axial end float kits
are recommended for protecting the bearings. Falk Steelflex
couplings are easily modified to limit end float; refer to Manual
428-820 for instructions.
NOTE: To drop-in a pre-assembled spacer fitted with limited
end float, the sleeve bearing shaft must have enough axial
movement to separate and clear the shaft hub registers.
Long Term Grease (LTG)

The high centrifugal forces encountered in couplings separate the
base oil and thickener of general purpose greases. Heavy
thickener, which has no lubrication qualities, accumulates in the
grid-groove area of Steelflex couplings resulting in premature hub
or grid failure unless periodic lubrication cycles are maintained.
Falk Long Term Grease (LTG) was developed specifically for
couplings. It resists separation of the oil and thickener. The
consistency of Falk LTG changes with operating conditions. As
manufactured it is an NLGI #1/2 grade. Working of the
lubricant under actual service conditions causes it to become
semifluid while the grease near the seals will set to a heavier
grade, helping to prevent leakage.
LTG is highly resistant to separation, easily out performing all
other lubricants tested. The resistance to separation allows the
lubricant to be used for relatively long periods of time.
Steelflex couplings initially lubricated with LTG will not require
re-lubrication until the connected equipment is stopped for
servicing. If a coupling leaks grease, is exposed to extreme
temperatures, excessive moisture, or experiences frequent
Although LTG grease is compatible with most other coupling
greases, the mixing of greases may dilute the benefits of LTG.
USDA Approval
LTG has the United States Department of Agriculture Food
Safety & Inspection Service approval for applications where there is
no possibility of contact with edible products. (H-2 ratings).
CAUTION: Do not use LTG in bearings.

When an oxy-acetylene or blow torch is used, use an excess

acetylene mixture. Mark hubs near the center of their length in
several places on hub body with a temperature sensitive crayon,
275F (135C) melt temperature. Direct flame towards hub
bore using constant motion to avoid overheating an area.
WARNING: If an oil bath is used, the oil must have a flash
point of 350F (177C) or higher. Do not rest hubs on the
bottom of the container. Do not use an open flame in a
combustible atmosphere or near combustible materials.
Heat hubs as instructed above. Mount hubs as quickly as possible
with hub flange face flush with shaft end. Allow hubs to cool before
proceeding. Insert setscrews (if required) and tighten.
Maximize Performance & Life

The performance and life of couplings depend largely upon
how you install and maintain them. Before installing couplings,
make certain that foundations of equipment to be connected
meet manufacturers requirements. Check for soft foot. The use
of stainless steel shims is recommended. Measuring
misalignment and positioning equipment within alignment
tolerances is simplified with an alignment computer. These
calculations can also be done graphically or mathematically.
Alignment is shown using spacer bar and straight edge. This
practice has proven to be adequate for many industrial
applications. However, for superior final alignment, the use of
dial indicators (see Manual 458-834 for instructions), lasers,
alignment computers or graphical analysis is recommended.

ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
For extreme or unusual operating conditions, check coupling
more frequently.
1. Check alignment per steps on Page 3. If the maximum
operating misalignment limits are exceeded, realign the
coupling to the recommended installation limits. See Table
2 on Page 5 for installation and operating alignment limits.
2. Check tightening torques of all fasteners.
3. Inspect seal ring and gasket to determine if replacement is
required. If leaking grease, replace.
4. When connected equipment is serviced, disassemble the
coupling and inspect for wear. Replace worn parts. Clean
grease from coupling and repack with new grease. Install
coupling using new gasket as instructed in this manual.
Periodic Lubrication
MATCH MARK
The required frequency of lubrication is directly related to the

type of lubricant chosen, and the operating conditions. Steelflex
couplings lubricated with common industrial lubricants, such as
those shown in Table 1, should be relube annually. The use of
Falk Long Term Grease (LTG) will allow relube intervals to be
extended to beyond five years. When relubing, remove both
lube plugs and insert lube fitting. Fill with recommended
lubricant until an excess appears at the opposite hole.
CAUTION: Make certain all plugs have been inserted after
lubricating.
Coupling Disassembly & Grid Removal
428-310
Pack the spaces between and around the grid with as much
lubricant as possible and wipe off excess flush with top of grid.
Position seals on hubs to line up with grooves in cover. Position
gaskets on flange of lower cover half and assemble covers so
that the match marks are on the same side (see above). If shafts
are not level (horizontal) or coupling is to be used vertically,
assemble cover halves with the lug and match mark UP or on
MATCH MARK
Whenever it is necessary to disconnect the coupling, remove the

cover halves and grid. A round rod or screwdriver that will
conveniently fit into the open loop ends of the grid is required.
Begin at the open end of the grid section and insert the rod or
screwdriver into the loop ends. Use the teeth adjacent to each
loop as a fulcrum and pry the grid out radially in even, gradual
stages, proceeding alternately from side to side.

and secure cover halves with fasteners, tighten to torque
specified in Table 2 on Page 5. Make sure gaskets stay in
position during tightening of fasteners. CAUTION: Make certain
lube plugs are installed before operating.

Type T31 Sizes 10201140 & 20140
Example: 1060T max. operating misalignment is .016" parallel

plus .018" angular.
INSTALLATION & ALIGNMENT DATA

Maximum life and minimum maintenance for the coupling and
connected machinery will result if couplings are accurately
aligned. Coupling life expectancy between initial alignment and
maximum operating limits is a function of load, speed and
lubrication. Maximum operating values listed in Table 2 are
based on cataloged allowable rpm.
Values listed are based upon the use of standard coupling
components, standard assemblies and cataloged allowable
speeds. Values may be combined for an installation or operating
condition.
ANGULAR MISALIGNMENT
(Page 5 of 6)
NOTE: For applications requiring greater misalignment, refer

application details to the Factory.
Angular misalignment is dimension X minus Y as illustrated below.
Parallel misalignment is distance P between the hub center lines
as illustrated below.
End float (with zero angular and parallel misalignment) is the
axial movement of the hubs(s) within the cover(s) measured
from O gap.

GRIDS Size 1020T thru 1140T Steelflex couplings use blue
grids. Older models, 20T thru 140T, use orange grids.
CAUTION: Blue grids may be used in all applications, but DO
NOT substitute orange grids for blue.
COVERS CAUTION: DO NOT mix cover halves of different
designs. Sizes 1020T thru 1070T10 covers have been
manufactured in several different two-rib designs and 80T thru
140T covers have been manufactured with two and three ribs.
HARDWARE Older style covers, Sizes 1020T10 thru
1070T10, utilized socket head cap screws with captured
locknuts. The new style covers use hex head cap screws (either
inch or metric) and unrestrained locknuts. Specify either inch
series SOCKET head or inch or metric series HEX head cap
screws when ordering replacement parts.
PARTS IDENTIFICATION
All coupling parts have identifying part numbers as shown
below. Parts are interchangeable between the 10 series and
1000 series spacer couplings. However, to utilize the higher
1000 series ratings, the 1000T Blue Grid, Spacer Hubs, Shaft
Hubs and Hardware must be used. When ordering parts,
always SPECIFY SIZE and TYPE. Sizes 80 through 140T10
covers have been manufactured with two and three ribs; DO
NOT mix these cover halves.

Falk Steelflex Couplings Limited End Float Installation

Sizes 20-260 & 1030-1260
INTRODUCTION
When it is necessary to limit the end float of Falk Steelflex
couplings, carefully follow these instructions. This manual
applies to Sizes 30 thru 260T10 & T20 and Sizes 1030 thru
1260T10 & T20 Falk Steelflex Tapered Grid Couplings. Unless
otherwise stated, information for Sizes 1030 thru 1260 applies
to Sizes 30 thru 260 respectively, e.g. 1030 = 30, 1100 =
100, etc.
CAUTION: Consult applicable local and national safety codes
for proper guarding of rotating members. Observe all safety
rules when installing or servicing couplings. Lockout starting
switch of prime mover and remove all external loads from drive
before installing or servicing couplings. During assembly, seal
keyways to prevent leakage.
Sizes 1030 thru 1210T standard couplings connecting a
horizontal shaft without axial movement (end float) to one with
axial movement (such as in sleeve bearing motors), will limit the
shaft end float to approximately 0.06 inches when assembled
with gap disc and rung spacers as specified herein.
For Sizes 1220 thru 1260T couplings, spacer rings and gap
discs limit the end float to approximately 0.19 inches. When
end float is specified on the coupling purchase order, the
spacer rings are welded to the hubs at the Factory as shown in
Figure 2. When the coupling is modified in the field, it will be
the customers responsibility to weld the spacer rings to the
hubs.

Performance Curves
Selection Procedure
One Pass Oil
Performance Curves are based on 100SSU oil leaving the cooler 40F higher
than the ambient air temperature used for cooling.This is also referred to as
a 40F approach temperature.

STEP 1 Determine the Heat Load.This will vary with different systems,
!/
STEP 2 Determine Approach Temperature. Desired oil leaving cooler

!/
F Ambient air temp. F = Actual Approach
!/
STEP 3 Determine Curve Horsepower Heat Load. Enter the
information from above:
!/
!/
!/
!/
Horsepower heat load x
STEP 4 Enter curves at oil flow through cooler and curve horsepower.
Any curve above the intersecting point will work.

STEP 5 Determine Oil Pressure Drop from Curves:

Off-Line Recirculation Cooling Loop: Desired temperature is the oil temperature entering the cooler. In this case, the oil temperature change must be
determined so that the actual oil leaving temperature can be found.
Calculate the oil temperature change (oil T) with this formula:
Oil T = (BTUs/Hr.) / (GPM Oil Flow x 210).
To calculate the oil leaving temperature from the cooler, use this formula:
Oil Leaving Temp. = Oil Entering Temp Oil T.
This formula may also be used in any application where the only temperature
available is the entering oil temperature.

!/
!/
Oil Pressure Drop: Most systems can tolerate a pressure drop through the
heat exchanger of 20 to 30 PSI. Excessive pressure drop should be avoided.
Care should be taken to limit pressure drop to 5 PSI or less for case drain
applications where high back pressure may damage the pump shaft seals.

Heat Exchangers AO, AOVH, AOHM,

AOF, & AOVHM Series
General Information
1. Air cooled oil coolers are built for operation with maximum oil pressures of
300 psi and temperatures of 400F.
2. The motors furnished are specially built for fan duty. They are guaranteed
by the manufacturer for operation in a maximum ambient temperature of
104F. Consideration should be given to installation location so motors are
not subjected to temperatures above this level.
3. Air/oil coolers that are to be installed for utilization of waste heat for the
space heating should be mounted 7 to 14 feet above the floor depending
on the structure, for proper heat distribution.
Installation
1. AO and AOF coolers are designed for suspension by eye bolts or
threaded hangar rods screwed into the upper and lower covers in 1/2 to13
threaded holes; AOVH coolers have 6 to 12 holes (0.56 diameter) in the
base for mounting. Refer to product page for location and quantity.
2. Units should not be located in corrosive atmospheres as rapid deterioration
of casing, cooling coil, fan and motor may take place resulting in reduced life.
3. For proper air flow, a minimum of 12 should be allowed between the oil
cooler fan and any walls or obstructions.
4. Piping should be sized based on oil flow and pressure drop requirements
and not on the oil coolers supply and return connection size. Piping should
also be properly supported to prevent excessive strain to connection,
manifolds, etc.
5. Filter located ahead of the cooler should be installed to trap scale, dirt
or sludge that may be present in piping and equipment, or that may
accumulate with use. A thermostatic or spring loaded by-pass relief valve
installed ahead of the cooler may be helpful to speed warm-up and relieve
the system of excessive pressure. All accessories should be considered in
the original heat rejection and piping calculations.
6. Electric Motors: CAUTION To prevent possible electrical shock, it is
important to make sure this unit is grounded properly. Connect motor
only to a power supply of the same characteristics as shown on the
motor nameplate. Voltage may vary 10% of nameplate voltage. Be sure
to provide proper fusing to prevent possible motor burnout. Follow wiring
diagram printed on motor nameplate or in terminal box. Before starting
motor, follow motor manufacturer recommendations. Turn fan manually
to eliminate possible motor burn out in the event the fan has become
damaged in shipment. Observe operation carefully after motor is started
for the first time.
Heat Transfer Surface Dirt and dust should be removed by brushing the
fins and tubes and blowing loose dirt off with an air hose. Should the surface
be greasy, the motor should be removed and the fins and tubes brushed or
sprayed with a mild alkaline solution, or a non-flammable degreasing fluid.
Follow with a hot water rinse and dry thoroughly. A steam hose may also be
used effectively.
Casing, Fan and Motor: Dirt and grease should be removed from these parts.
Rusty or corroded surfaces should be sanded clean and repainted.
Internal Cleaning: At lease once a year piping should be disconnected
and a degreasing agent or flushing oil circulated through the unit to remove
sludge from turbulators and internal tube surfaces to return the unit to full
capacity. A thorough cleaning of the entire system in the same manner is
preferable to avoid carry-over from uncleaned piping, pump and accessories.
The strainer of any filtering devices should be removed and serviced
following this cleaning operation.
Electric Motor Keep outside surface free of dirt and grease so motor
will cool properly. Make sure cooling air over motor is not obstructed.
Prelubricated ball bearing motors are normally furnished and require no
grease for about 5 to 10 years. Sleeve bearing motors require oil after three
years.
Hydraulic Motor Change any oil filter(s) in the motor circuit as frequently as
necessary to assure that good, clean oil is maintained.
Units with Replaceable Air Filters Examine filters for dirt and grease
accumulation twice yearly, or more if operating conditions dictate. If
disposable filters are used, replace as required. If the washable aluminum
filters are used, wash with a warm water and soap solution that will remove
dirt and cut grease build-up. Make sure that the aluminum filter is completely
dry before replacing the unit. This filter can be made more effective if treated
with a lightweight oil before placing in service. It is recommended that a
spare aluminum filter be kept in stock to minimize downtime during the filter
cleaning operation.
Repair or Replacement of Parts When ordering replacement parts or
making inquiry regarding service, mention model number, serial number and
the original purchase order number. Any reference to the motor must carry
full nameplate data.
7. Hydraulic Motors: Connect motor, port B, to inlet oil line and return line to
port A for correct rotation. A filter is highly recommended upstream of the
motor rated at 25 micron nominal. Controlling oil flow rate as specified on
motor data sheet with cooler is very important. Maximum oil pressure to
motor is 2000 psi, minimum pressure is shown on motor data sheet. Do
not allow dirty oil to enter the motor. Excessive flows will cause fan blade
failure. Insufficient flows to motor will reduce cooling capacity.
INSTALLATION
& SERVICE
Maintenance Inspect the unit regularly for loose bolts and connections,
rust and corrosion, and dirty or clogged heat transfer surfaces (cooling coil).

Applications for
Moduflow Filters
Power Unit Fabrication
Off-line Filter Loops
Mobile Equipment
The Moduflow filter is widely

considered the most versatile filter
available on the market. The unique
diverter valve assembly, and inside
to outside flow through the element,
allows the Moduflow to be configured
for in-line, in-tank or suction filtration.
The flow diverter minimizes
turbulence and pressure loss through
the filter, improving system
performance.
The newly designed closed bottom

elements for the RFP and ILP models
insures all contamination remains
trapped within the element as the filter
is serviced.
A wide variety of visual and electrical
indicators allows you to know exactly
when the element needs to be
serviced. There is even a no
element indicator that can sense
when there is not an element installed
in the filter.
From top to bottom, the Moduflow
filter series provides the high
level of filtration and long term
dependability so vital to todays
hydraulic systems.
Parkers new patented Moduflow element

was designed with built-in diverter cone and
bypass valve, to meet your application needs.

Proven Reliability
Moduflow Manifold Extended

Filter Range
The rugged design of the Model MM manifold has been

proven in demanding mobil equipment applications, At
the factory, we have cycle tested the Model MM through
the full range of rated flow and pressure to insure reliable
service.
Use Model MM Manifold to handle return line flows up to

130 gpm.
l Rated static pressure: 300 psi
l Typical burst pressure: 900 psi
l Easily mounted on ModuFlow
Parker Filter Division maintains the same high standards

in delivery, quality, and service. Considering this, plus
features, flexibility, price, and performance, the Model MM
manifold is a valuable addition to your fluid power
component list.
High Flows At Low Cost

The model MM manifold is designed to extend the flow
range of ModuFlow Filters when operating with 10 Micron
and finer filter media. When mounted to a pair of RFP-2 or
ILP-2 filters, this manifold will allow flows up to 130 gpm
in return lines (15 fps velocity).
Note: The Model MM manifold is not applicable to suction
lines due to its pressure drop characteristics.

When used with two ModuFlow filters, the total cost is

often less than a single unit filter rated for 130 gpm flow.
Tank-top mounted (Model RFP) filters will require only one
manifold on the filter inlet pports. In-line mounted (Model
ILPav) filters will require two manifolds, one on the inlet
and one on the outlet ports.

Features
Silica Gel Desiccant
Has the highest removal
capability by volume of any
adsorption method. Indicates
condition by changing color.
Foam Pads
Isolates the removal materials from
contact with heavy reservoir mist and
securely holds materials in place.
Filter Pads
Specially designed lter pads
remove solid particulate on upstream
side and then regenerate by releasing those particles when air ow
reverses direction. Lower pad
removes airborne contamination and
second pad protects against any
migration of desiccant.
Foam pad
Insures lter pad is properly
positioned and protects it
from external damage.
Air Intakes
A total of eight air intakes may be
exposed to allow air to freely ow in
and out of the TriCeptor.
Molded Housing
Durable shock absorbing
casing provides reliable service
and simple press in mounting.

Installation
Air Flow Performance
TriCeptor breathers are designed for simple installation

on most equipment, regardless of mounting connection.
Since TriCeptor breathers are disposable, the threaded
connection allows for quick and easy maintenance. Several
mounting adapters (shown below) are available to provide
the desired mounting. The installation/replacement process consists of four easy steps:
The curves below show the air ow performance of the

three TriCeptor breathers. To insure the longest life
possible, the initial clean pressure drop should not
exceed 1.5 psid (.103 bar).
1. Remove from protective plastic wrap.

3. Remove foil label to expose the necessary

amount of air intake holes.
4. Twist TriCeptor into mounting adapter.
Servicing the TriCeptor breather is also very easy. When
the silica gel changes color from blue to a pink, the
breather is no longer active and needs to be replaced.
Simply remove the unit and discard properly.
