f) After removing the seal cover, wipe clean and inspect the shaft surface. If there are scratches, use
fine sandpaper to smooth them over. This is done to prevent damage to the internal O-ring when
pulling out the mechanical seal.

by turning them approximately three times
(Photo 007).
Do not remove the set screws completely, but leave them so that their ends are below the surface of
the seal collar. These screws are located in two places 90 degrees apart from each other.

h) Pull out the seal collar with your fingers. While pulling out, make sure that the ends of the set screws
do not touch the shaft surface. Axial-direction scratches on the shaft can cause leaks.
i) By removing the two set screws, pull out the oil seal sleeve.
j) Screw two eye bolts into the jacking screw holes in the oil seal retainer and pull out the oil seal
retainer while keeping it at a right angle against the shaft.
5.6.1.2 Inspection
a) Mechanical seal should be replaced if any defect is found during inspection. Actually, however, it is
sometimes difficult to find out defects on the sliding surface only through visual inspection. In such
circumstances, Mayekawa recommends to replace it with a new one in the same manner as with
O-rings or gaskets.
The contact between the sliding surfaces of the mating ring and seal collar must be checked even
when replacing the seal. If there are obvious traces of uneven contact or damage, find out the cause
(degradation over time, problems such as heating operation, etc.) and take necessary actions.
b) Replace the O-rings every time the mechanical seal assembly is inspected because they normally
swell and deform over time.
A total of four O-rings are used for the sealing section. They are located between the seal cover and
oil seal retainer
