    SAP PARTS: Installation Guidelines For Installation Guidelines For Duo-Cone Seals

    Uploaded by

    Ravi Mirza
    This document provides guidelines for installing duo-cone seals which contain metal seal rings and elastomeric toric rings. Key steps include: cleaning the housing components and seal rings; lubricating the toric rings and installing them on the seal rings; pressing the seal rings into the housing while ensuring proper alignment; and applying a thin film of oil to the sealing faces before final assembly. Correct installation is critical to prevent seal failure from twists, misalignment or slipping of the toric rings.

    Housing Preparation

    The housing components that contact the rubber toric rings (3 and 4) must be free from foreign material (oil, grease,
    dirt, metal chips, dust or lint particles, etc) befo
    before installing the seal. This should be done using a lint-free
    lint wipe and a
    non-petroleum based solvent. Dry with a clean wipe.

    Remove any foreign material from the rubber torics (2), the ramps (7) and the lips (8) of both seal rings. This should
    also be done with a lint-free
    free wipe and a non-petroleum based solvent. Dry with a clean wipe.

    Place the rubber torics on the metal seal ring at the bottom of the seal ring ramp and against the,
    the retaining lip.

    Make sure the rubber toric is straight on the seal ring and not twisted. Be careful not to nick or cut the torics during
    the assembly, as this can cause leaks. Put the installation tool onto the metal seal ring and rubber toric. Lightly
    dampen the lower half of the rubber toric with the appropriate assembly lub lubricant. Techniques to dampen the toric
    include wiping with a lint-free
    free towel, lubricating using a clean foam brush, or dipping in a container lined with towels
    saturated in the assembly lubricant (as shown).

    Seal groups with silicone torics can be assem


    assembled using a freezer to slightly contract the toric rings. Seal groups should
    be placed in a freezer for 5 minutes at -40o to -18oC prior to installation. Contraction will be sufficient to allow
    installation. Groups should warm to room temperature prior to further assembly.

    Approved Assembly Lubricants


    - Isopropyl Alcohol *
    - Houghto-Grind 60 CT
    - QuakerR Solvo Clean 68-RAH

    (*) All applicable safety and disposal guidelines for flammable liquids must be followed.
    Note: Do not use any other liquid that leaves an oil film does not evaporate quickly.

    Installation Process
    With the lower half of the rubber toric still wet, use the installation tool to position the seal ring and the rubber toric
    squarely against the application housing (as shown).

    For smaller
    ller diameter seals, use sudden and even pressure to push the rubber toric under the retaining lip of the
    housing. For larger diameter seals, which will not press in with sudden and even pressure, it is acceptable to work the
    toric past the retaining lip by starting one side and tapping the opposite side of the installation tool with a rubber
    mallet until it is engaged past the retaining lip of the housing. Check the assembled height variation (A) in a least four
    places, 90o apart, use a caliper, toolmaker
    toolmakers' ruler or any other calibrated measuring device.

    The difference in height around the ring must not be more than 1.0mm. If small adjustments are necessary, do not
    push or pull directly on the seal ring. Use the installation tool to push down and your fingers
    ngers to pull up uniformly on
    the rubber toric and seal ring. The rubber toric can twist if it is not wet all around during installation or if there are
    burrs or fins on the retaining lip of the housing. Twists, misalignment, and bulges of the toric (as shown)
    sh will result in
    seal failure. If correct installation is not obvious, remove the seal from the housing and repeat process.

    The rubber torics must never slip on the ramps of either the seal ring or the housing. To prevent slippage, allow
    adequate evaporation time for the lubricant before proceeding with further assembly. Once correctly in place, the
    rubber toric must roll on the ramp only. The following shows incorrect installations resulting in cocked seals.

    Wipe the face of each seal ring using a lint


    lint-free wipe. No particles of any kind are permissible on the sealing surfaces.
    (Even a hair can hold the seal faces apart and cause a leak.)

    Apply a thin film of oil on the entire seal face of one or both seals using a lint-free
    free applicator. Oil
    Oi must not contact
    surfaces other than the sealing face.

    Final Assembly :

    While completing the final assembly of the unit, make sure that both housings are in correct alignment and are
    concentric. Slowly bring the two housings together. High impact can scratch or break the seal components.

    If the rubber toric slips at any location, it will twist, causing the seal rings to cock. Any wobbling motion of the seal is an
    indication of cocked seals and can cause dirt to enter by pumping mud past the tori torics. The following examples show
    the effects of a cocked seal group.

    The above depicts how the torics have slipped instead of rolling on the left hand side of the seal. The following shows
    the same seal after the bottom half is rotated 180 o
