SVCN 7 INSTALLATION, OPERATION, & MAINTENANCE 

4.5 ASSEMBLY 

4.5.1 HEAD-ROTOR ASSEMBLY 

NOTE 

If you only disassembled the pump to replace the mechanical 
seal, and the bearing housing is still intact, then begin 
reassembly at step 14 on page 4-11. 

1.  Install oiling ring retainer (356) and oiling rings (2889A), if installed, on shaft (1). Secure 

retainer to shaft by tightening set screws. 

CAUTION 

Bearings should be heated using either a dry heat convection 
oven or an induction heater which slowly heats the bearing 
and prevents magnetizing. Do not heat bearings with a torch 
or oil bath. 

Ensure that the thrust bearings (3036B) are assembled as 
illustrated in Figure 4-3 below with the wide flanges of the 
outer race in contact in-between the two bearings.  

 

Figure 4-3 Thrust Bearing Assembly 

2.  Heat radial bearing (3036A) and thrust bearing (3036B) to 200-230°F (95-110°C) and slide 

them up against their shoulders on the shaft (1).  

3.  Install the thrust bearing lock washer (3150) and lock nut (453) as follows: 

a.  Slide thrust bearing lock washer onto shaft, then thread lock nut onto shaft hand tight. 

b.  Spin outer races of thrust bearing several times, then tighten the lock nut. The lock nut 

should be tightened such that the outer races of the thrust bearing do not turn 
independently when spun, but can be moved independently by hand.  

c.  Allow the thrust bearings to cool to ambient temperature.  

d.  Loosen the thrust bearing lock nut to hand tight, then retorque the lock nut to the torque 

valuespecified in table below
