7.1.2 Maintenance of components
7.1.2.1 Joints of the joint shaft
The joints of the joint shaft are lubricated with ALL-
WEILER special joint oil type B or oil ET1510 ISO 460
by Tribol Lubricants GmbH, Mönchengladbach, if the
pumps are deployed in the food industry, with ALL-
WEILER special joint oil type BL or oil 1810/460 by

Pre-pressed packing rings or ring cuts have to be

carefully turned open axial and radial so that they can
just about be slid across the shaft. Bending the rings
may lead to damages.
When mounting in the packing space, carefully re-
bend the packing rings to ring shape. The cutting
joints have to be shifted by 90° here. Each ring has to
be slid into the stuffing box space individually with the
cutting ends facing forward by means of the gland.
The sealing chamber ring or flushing ring have to be
installed sequentially.
You may never use pointed objects
for this work. Danger of damaging
the shaft and deforming the packing material!
! Start-up the stuffing box after re-packaging
The stuffing box may only be tightened slightly
prior to start-up. When starting the pump, 50 to
200 drops per minute are an admissible leakage
quantity.
During the warm-up process of approx. 30 min-
utes, adjust a minimum leakage of 2 to 20 drops
per minute by evenly tightening the gland (203)
step by step via the hexagon nuts (202).
The stuffing box temperature
may not rise abnormally during
this process. Approx. 20° to 60°C above the con-
veyor liquid temperature are admissible. In case
of a rapid rise in temperature, the gland must be
loosened immediately and the warm-up process
repeated. The leakage can be carried off via the
threaded boring located in the strip tank in the
bearing socket.
Rule out damages to persons and the environ-
ment through leakage of dangerous substances!
• Mechanical seal
Non-relieved mechanical seals in all material pairings
and designs are applied. The mechanical seal is
maintenance-free.
In case of heavy leaks due to wear and tear, you
have to exchange the mechanical seal (see disas-
sembly and assembly instructions).
As the running dry of the mecha-
nical seals must be avoided, the
pump may only be operated in filled state and, if pro-
vided, with activated additional installations (see
Chapter 6.1.2).

You can purchase the above named tools from

us.
When clamping the joint clamps, proceed as fol-
lows:
• Clamping with clamping tool Band-It and
adapter J050.
! Insert the band end of the joint clamp (306) into
the clamping tool with adapter up to the joint
clamp lock.
! Hold down the clamp end with the eccentric lever
of the clamping tool and tighten the joint clamp
(306) by turning the crank (figure 12).
Figure 12: Shearing the joint clamp

! Turn the pressure screw with a spanner or ratchet

clockwise until the joint clamp is sheared off.
If the joint clamp is lifted up
slightly on the sheared off side,
adjust this by careful realignment. Do not hammer
or hit on the joint clamp lock, otherwise you may
damage the collar.
Note: Joint clamps made of hastelloy cannot be
sheared off with the clamping tool. After canting at
the joint clamp lock, shear off the joint clamp with
a pair of metal shears and deburr the cutting
edges (see figure 16).
