SKF VP Series Component Lifecycle Manual

6. Assembly
• Install the plug screw (1) with O-ring (2)
on the right side.
• Tighten adapter with the prescribed
torque.
VPK WAF 12= 15
+1
Nm
• Install the piston detector (3) finger-tight
on the left side.
Avoid uncontrolled tightening of
the
piston detector, as this could
cause damage.
Maintain tightening torque of
7
0.5
Nm.
• Tighten the piston detector (3) with new
O-ring (4) with a torque of 7+0.5 Nm
• Connect electrical power lead.
• Loosen electrical power lead.
• Loosen plug screw (1) (left) and remove
with O-Ring (2) (hexagon socket screw
key WAF 5).
• Loosen and remove piston detector (3)
(right) (WAF 14).
• Loosen adapter for piston detector (3a)
(WAF 12) and remove with O-ring (4).
• Carefully push piston (5) out of the left
side of the progressive metering device
section (6) using an arbor (Ø 6 mm).
During subsequent insertion of the
piston (5), ensure that it does not
bend and that its O-ring is not
sheared off.
• Turn piston (5) 180° and carefully insert
into the right side of the progressive me-
tering device section (6).
6.4.11 Modification of a piston detector
• Depressurize the lubrication system and
progressive metering device.
• If possible, place a drip pan for the dis-
charging lubricant below the progressive
metering device.
WARNING
System pressure
Pressure must not be applied to
the progressive metering device
section during the retrofitting de-
scribed below.
Depressurize the progressive me-
tering device.
Retrofitting of the piston detector from a
right-sided attachment to left-sided attach-
ment is described below. The steps are iden-
tical for reverse retrofitting from left to right.
