Subiect : Oil leakage from cylinder RackinO H 2682 STEERING GEAE

Dear Sirs,

Always thanks for your kind corporation.

some
Regarding the captioned steering gear, we have recevied shipowner comment that there are
oil leakage from cylinder packing. so, we would like to reply as below

A. ln case oil leakage of cylinder for steering gear during operation.

and
It is our standard to more-tighten the nuts on packing gland unit the oil leakage dose not happen
this is the way to stoP oil leaking.
And, when the gap is reached to "0", you need to replace v-packing with new one'
The method of more tightening is shown on our notice name plate installed on oil tanks.
PIease refer to the our manual and name plate as attached'

lf there is slight black oil from cylinder after re-tight, it is pushed out from
the v-packing in cylinder because v-packing was pressured by re-tight.
So, we have done loose the bolts of dust seal cover and took out dust seal.
Black oil on the ram which wil! be shrink down and disapear soon.

valves
B. In case oil leakage of OB valve, Our S/E carried out changed with new o-rings even if no leakage
We can assure that O-B valves oil leak free during the test by operation No.l & 2 system.

lf you need further information about this mafter, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Sample the oil at least every half a year for visual check and every year for detailed

property inspection and decide its suitability,

If the result exceeds the renewal standard, renew the working oil.

During the visual check (spot judgment), carefully observe the following points compared

with the new oil :

a, Isn't the color turned from light yellow to dark brown ?

b, Isn't the smell producing an irritative smell ?

c, Isn't there any sign of foreign matter ?

d, Isn't it emulsified ?

6.4 Replacement of ram V-packing : (Fig. 23)

During the replacement work of the packing, care should be taken to avoid damaging the

ram surface and seal suface of the cylinder.

Five packings are inserted in each hydraulic cylinder. To facilitate the work, oblique cut has

previously been made in one portion.

(1) Drawing out of packing :

V-packings can be drawn out by making use of the friction with the ram,

a. Loosen the nut and lock nut of the packing gland by about 2mm,

b' Move the ram slowly by local steering. (The packing can be drawn out little by litge

along with the ram.)

ff,tr- dd# &.: fftd," FLUTEK,LTD

c. The packing can be drawn out by repeating above works a and b.

If packing cannot be drawn out by above work, prepare a suitable tool and draw out

the adapter and packing. (The screw holes has been machined on the female

adapter for disassembling,)

(2) Inserting of packing :

a, Before inserting new packings, thoroughly remove dirt and impurities stuck on the

interior of the stuffing box and the ram surface.

b, Insert the male adapter inward,

c. Wind the new packing to the ram. At the moment, confirm that the section is

correctly met. (If the packing is hard, make it soft by hand rubbing.)

d. Insert the packing inward by fingers or a bamboo spatula to support the packing.

e. Follow the same manner subsequent to the second one. At the moment, the

splits in the packing should be staggered around so that no'two splits come

together.

f, Insert the female adapter and tighten the packing gland.

Care should be taken then not to allow one-side tightening. The suitable clearance

beWveen the cylinder and the packing gland is shown in Fig. 23.

g. Operate the steering gear by the pump control knob and adjust the packing gland

to form a light film of oil on the ram surface.

h. Check for excessive oil leakage by raising the pressure up to the adjusting

pressure of safety valve.

Cautions :

1. Assembly of wrong inserting direction of ram V-packing will lead to failure in

sealing.

2. Care should be taken to the packing since it tends to turn up itself when inseding.

3. New packing may occasionally cause oil leakage in the first condition.

Tighten them additionally if necessary.

# INSTALLATION OF OIL PANS FOR OIL DRIPPINGS

ln the operating condition of steering gear, an appropriate thin film of working oil is
necessary on the ram surface for smooth sliding between the ram and the V-packing.
However, the oil film on the ram surface will be scraped by the V-packing and be dripped. A

DETAIL'A"

ln order to keep a clean condition around the steering gear, please equip the oil pans
under oil drip points as below figure.
B
Note:
The oil drippings do not debase performance and function of the steering gear.
Allowable oil leak amount is three or four drops per the ram's one round trip (at one
cylinder, in no load condition) .When oil leak amount does not change, it is equivalent
to 0.2-0.3 liter per day at one cylinder.
However, oil leak amount is different according to use condition of steering gear (e.9.
temperature, pressure, ram diameter, actuating frequency, and so on) '
Please use this value as reference and determine whether V-packing maintenance is
necessary on board.
