seal
The standard mechanical seal assemblies used in the current standard
screw
compressors are of the BBSE (balance bellows single) type.
a) Before assembly, clean the portion where the rotor shaft seal will be installed.
b) In particular, recheck immediately before assembly that the stepped portion where the axial seal will
be mounted is free of damage.
c) Assemble oil seal

.
Since the design modification in November 2002, the oil seal attachment direction has been
changed from "facing the atmosphere side" to "facing the opposite side". The purpose of this
change is to improve oil flow from inside the seal box so that the pressure will not rise too high.
Place a Teflon or other kind of resin block on the oil and tap on the block to push the oil seal into the
retainer evenly until it bottoms. When it gets fully pushed in, you will know by the change in the
tapping sound and feel. After assembly, check that the step formed at the boundary between the oil
seal and the retainer is even. See from the opposite side, and confirm that they are evenly
assembled.
d) Use two eye bolts (M8) to assemble the seal retainer with the oil seal along the rotor shaft.
At this time, ensure that the retainer's oil hole is on the upper side of the rotor shaft, and accurately
align the rotation stop spring pin

, which has been screwed to the bearing cover, with the notch
of the retainer. After assembly, try to turn the retainer's eye bolts to check that they are secure.
If they are properly aligned, the retainer will not rotate.
e) Then, insert the O-ring

for the seal retainer.
Take special care, because users frequently omit to insert this O-ring

f) Assemble mechanical seal assembly to rotor shaft. Before assembly, apply sufficient lubricant
(prepared for use during assembly) to the rotor shaft and seal as if intending to wash away dirts.
Then push the seal ring by hand to check it for axial movement. Push in the O-ring

taking care not to get it damaged by the step on the rotor shaft.
