Seal Removal (Bellows Type)
To remove/replace the bellows type shaft seal, proceed

vious pages under MOTOR REMOVAL AND
REPLACEMENT. Also remove the compressor
coupling hub from the compressor shaft.

BELLOWS TYPE SEALS
There are 2 versions of the bellows type
shaft seals used on compressors manu-
factured after May of 1998. One ver-
sion is used on the HA and HB family
of compressors and the second version
is used on the HD and HF family of
compressors. The HA and HB seal has
a separate sleeve spacer and C-ring
that needs to be manually inserted be-
fore installing the seal assembly. The
HD and HF version have the sleeve
spacer and C-ring already installed in
the seal. Below are instructions on
how to remove and install these seals.
It is important that the shaft seal
sleeve is securely attached to the com-
pressor shaft prior to removal of the
retaining clips. These clips protect the
seal internals from harm during the
assembly process and insure the proper
positioning of the shaft seal for proper
seal face loading. Anytime a seal
cartridge is outside the compressor, the
retaining clips need to be in their
Installation position.
5. Loosen the 4 set screws (B) shown in Fig. 24.
6. Remove the 8 hex head screws holding the shaft
seal to the compressor housing.
7. Using guide pins, carefully remove the seal assem-
bly from the rotor support.
8. Remove the C-ring and sleeve spacer from com-
pressor shaft on HA and HB style compressors.
9. Remove the O-ring from the rotor support housing.
Seal Installation (Bellows Type)
1. Be sure the shaft seal cavity is absolutely clean by
cleaning it with an approved safety solvent and blow-
ing it dry with compressed air.
2. Inspect all wearing surfaces and replace parts as
necessary. See
“Cleaning And Checking Wear-
ing Parts”
, page 6. Discard all O-rings and replace
with new.
