7.11 Impeller Clearance Adjustment
The MD, MDE, HDE series has two execution alternatives, one execution with axial position adjustment of the impeller, and another
execution with single axial position of the impeller, therefore, without axial position adjustment. In the following, we present two
procedures for adjusting the axial position of the impeller, for equipment with this alternative.
7.10 Pump
For removal of bearings, shaft, etc., it is necessary to disassemble and assemble the entire pump. For this purpose, provide the necessary
drawing with a breakdown of parts and a list of recommended spare parts.
As a general guide for the disassembly of the equipment, follow the steps below:
• Remove the coupling core shroud and then the coupling as described in 7.8 Assembly and Disassembly Instructions.
• Remove the assembly consisting of bearing housing, union housing, pump cover, impeller (torpedo).
• Loosen the impeller nut and then loosen and remove the impeller.
• Remove the mechanical seal.
• Loosen and remove the pump cover.
• Remove the shaft with the bearings by tapping with a plastic hammer on the pump end.
• For the assembly proceed in reverse order. Check the correct positioning of parts, especially seals and impellers.
