Summary

GlobalGear with Cartridge Mechanical Seals

Maintenance Training Module 2

Overview of the maintenance training module for GlobalGear pumps with cartridge mechanical seals.

Reassembly of the Drive Module

Install Rotor and Bearings

Steps for installing the rotor, bearings, and bearing carrier into the pump bracket.

Mechanical Seal and Locknut Installation

Procedure for positioning the mechanical seal, aligning flush ports, and installing the locknut.

Locknut Torque Specifications

Table detailing torque specifications for various locknut and pump sizes.

Reinstall Drive Module

Gasket and Flush Path Alignment

Ensuring correct gasket position and alignment of flush ports for proper flow.

Module Positioning and Fastening

Positioning the drive module over the foot and housing, then securing with bolts.

Adjusting End Clearance

Setting Initial Clearance

Loosen set screws, tighten hex nuts until rotor touches cover, checking for slight drag.

Measuring and Adjusting Gap

Measure gap at four points, adjust set screws/nuts for uniformity, record zero clearance.

Calculating and Finalizing Clearance

Calculate target gap, perform final tightening, and confirm free shaft rotation.

Adjusting Radial Clearance

Measuring and Adjusting Rotor Position

Measure clearance between rotor and housing, then adjust using hex nuts and set screws.

Final Tightening of Fasteners

Fastener Torque Specifications

Table of recommended torque values for M6, M8, M10, and M12 fasteners.

Final Tightening of Mechanical Seals

Seal Installation and Initial Tightening

Seal tightening is the last step; gland nuts are started loosely to preserve travel range.

Final Seal Tightening Procedure

Tighten gland nuts and seal set screws in an even alternating pattern.

Removal of the Relief Valve

Valve Removal Steps

Procedure to remove fasteners securing the relief valve and then remove the valve and its gasket.

Disassembly of the Relief Valve

Component Identification

Diagram of relief valve parts: Cap, Bonnet, Spring Guide, Spring, Poppet, etc.

Removing Valve Components

Steps to remove the cap, jam nut, bonnet, spring guide, spring, and poppet.

Spring Identification for Pressure

Differentiating between high pressure (orange paint) and standard pressure (no bands) springs.

Potential Problems with Relief Valves

Common Issues and Causes

Poppet/seat cleanliness affects bypassing; low set pressure causes chattering or bypassing.

Corrective Actions for Issues

Clean poppet/seat; increase relief valve setting or use a higher pressure spring.

Setting Relief Valve in the Field

Determine and Set Bypass Pressure

Measure current bypass pressure, calculate target (50% higher), and adjust using nuts.

Final Steps and Precautions

Tighten jam nut, replace cap, open valve. Complete in 10 mins; avoid overheating.

Reassemble Relief Valve

Component Reassembly

Reassemble by installing poppet, spring, and spring guide in inverted valve.

Final Bonnet and Cap Installation

Reinstall the bonnet and cap using pipe dope on threads.

Removing High Temp. Greased Bearings

Bearing Cover and Cap Removal

Remove bearing cover fasteners, cover, outer cap hex nuts, and outer bearing cap.

Inner Cap and Bearing Extraction

Remove inner bearing cap fasteners, push cap back, use bearing puller for shrunk-fit bearings; do not reuse.

Greasing High Temperature Bearings

Lubricant Application and Monitoring

Use recommended lubricant and grease gun; add grease until old grease shows color change.

Helpful Hint Carbon Bushings

Carbon Bushing Installation Best Practices

Press out with hydraulic press; install with one forceful movement to avoid breakage.

Helpful Hint Tungsten Carbide Bushings

Tungsten Carbide Bushing Installation

Press out with hydraulic press, heat bracket/idler to 425°C, follow safety for hot materials.

Lubrication Helpful Hints

Lubrication Best Practices

Ensure cleanliness of fittings, guns, and environment; use recommended lubricants.

Predictive Maintenance

Benefits and Triggers

Proactive maintenance is cost-effective; temp/vibration increases signal need.

Monitoring Recommendations

Record monthly bearing temperatures and vibration levels for pump, gear reducer, and motor.
