GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that a DRESSER-CLARK Service Representative be present when
major disassembly is undertaken.
A. Disassembly

Care should be exercised in keeping dirt or any foreign material
out of working parts of the compressor.
A11 piping, tubing, and compressor openings should be covered during
maintenance periods. Tools and components should not be rested on
or above compressor where they may drop into any openings.
Extreme care must be used in handling bearing and seal parts, as
well as the rotor assembly. Internal parts having shaft labyrinths
must be handled and stored with care.
Studs and bolts may have sharp threads and should be worked around
with care.
Before starting any maintenance work, be sure that all electric
Power is off and fuel, steam valves, etc., closed on the driving
equipment.
An inspection and replacement of the journal and thrust bearings
and inner seals may be conducted without removing the inlet or dis-
charge heads.
Al matchmarks on mating pieces, dowels and fitted keys must be re-
turned to their original locations when the compressor is reassem-
bled to insure correct. assembly. All inlet guides are numbered in
mating halves and numbered to the case. Care must be used that the
inlet guides and diaphragms are not mixed during reassembly.
The gaskets and O-ring seals are of importance for the best perfor-
mance of the compressor. They must be inspected closely and new ones
‘installed if there is the slightest question as to their condition.
Refer to the Specifications Section in this manual for design clear-
ances throughout the compressor.
All threads are right hand unless otherwise noted in text.
Whenever the compressor is dismantled and replacement parts installed,
check all clearances and record for future reference.
Refer to the Parts Lists Section in this manual for detailed cross-
sections of the compressor before starting any dismantling of unit.
If two or more compressors have been furnished and are being driven
‘in-line’, the thru-drive units must be lifted from the base for
internal bundle removal. Bearing and seal assembly, disassembly,
and inspection can be made at each compressor by removal of normal
interference. TO PULL THE THRU-DRIVE UNIT INTERNAL BUNDLE:
Page 5-1.1a, Assuming the equipment is at ambient temperature, obtain and
record the cold alignment (both ends).
>. AIT piping interference which would interfere with the compres-
sor removal from the base must be uncoupled.
¢. The compressor must be hoisted from the base and set down on
amply sized steel sawhorses at ground level. Maintenance dis-
assembly/assembly can be carried out here.
Caution
Shim stock used for alignment must be carefully match-
marked to given locations. Wire individual shim stock
piles together. Upon compressor reassembly to the base,
cold alignment must agree with that found in Step 13.a.
B. Reassembly.
a
The need for cleaning the internal components or casing will be de-
termined by inspection, Normally, washing a11 parts with a good
grade of solvent and blowing out with clean, dry compressed air
Should be adequate.
Note
Do not wash O-rings or gaskets in a solvent. This
will cause them to swell and deteriorate.
Inspect all the O-rings and gaskets; they must be in first class
Condition. If there is any doubt it is strongly recommended that
they be renewed. Refer to the "Special Lubricants" given in the
Specifications Section for the recommended lubricants for use on
O-rings and backing rings.
Inspect al] labyrinths, machined surfaces, etc., for nicks or burrs
before and during reassembly,
All pipes, tubing and volute openings should be covered during any
dismantling or opening of the case. If this has not been adhered
to, a careful cleaning of all such pipes and openings must be done.
Attention must be given to all matchmarking of keys, diaphragms,
inlet guides, coupling bolts, etc., to ensure correct reassembly.
Measure and record all running clearances possible. Determine that
they are within recommended limits given in the Specifications Sec-
tion. Record for future reference.
Page 5-1.2COUPLING GUARD - Refer to Fig. 5-1,
The coupling guard is the totally enclosed type.

in sections if necessary.
Remove the splitline gasket 4; save if in serviceable condition.
Page 5-2.18.
Remove remaining bolts 12 and carefully remove the lower half
juard. Use care not to bend or damage the oi] supply tubing 15
ised’ with continuously lubricated couplings only).
It is recommended the coupling guard halves be bolted together while
in storage to protect the splitling surface.
The gland 7, O-ring 8 and gasket 18 must remain on the coupling
guard adapter and driver until the coupling spacer is removed.

Inspect the coupling for matchmarks; spacer to sleeves and sleeves
to hubs. Rig a sling around the spacer piece.
Refer to the manufacturer's instructions and remove the coupling
spacer. Also, remove the disc packs if a diaphragm type coupling is
provided. Observe whether the spacer bolts and nuts are numbered to
a given location. Store the nuts on the bolts from which they were
removed. Wire the disc packs, when used, together to prevent their
becoming mixed.
Protect the coupling center components from corrosion or other damage
and store safely.
Loosen the setscrew in the face of the coupling locknut. Remove the
locknut with a face spanner. The coupling hub can now be removed.

Fig. 5-2. COUPLING HUB TOOLS
Wipe the coupling hub face and shaft end carefully to remove all
oil. With a micrometer depth gauge, measure the hub overhand on
the shaft to four decimal points and record. Hub must be returned
to this dimension (+0.010 -0.000 in/+0.254 -0.000 mm), when re-
installed.
Page 5-3.1es)
Use extreme care during the following steps to keep dirt, filings,
etc., from the hydraulic oil and all components used for disassenbly.
Wrap'the shaft taper in heavy paper which has been well greased
‘once the coupling hub is removed. Apply the same protection to the
hub and stow safely.
Refer to Fig. 5-2. Procure the coupling hub remover components
from the Special Tools. Clean the tools carefully and install them
as illustrated.
a. Be certain that the backup rings 5,8 are placed on the low
pressure side of the O-rings 4,7 as shown.
b. Be certain the coupling nut 3 is seated against the shaft
shoulder.
c. The holder 13 is teflon lined and is provided to aide in
handling the larger size components to keep then square with
the shaft during assembly.
d. When the coupling hub is mounted at the thrust bearing end and

Refer to Fig. 5-4. Procure the expander pump 14 and all the
tubing/fittings illustrated from the Special Tools. Clean and
install the connector 5 at the shaft center. Blow out all the
tubing, fittings, etc., with solvent/compressed air, then blow dry.
WARNING
These tool assemblies incorporate high energy apparatus
and extreme care must be taken in the assembly, mainten-
ance and operation of the tools. Never substitute other
parts for those provided. The coupling nut and pusher
ring are safety code color "Orange".
Page 5-3.2Fig. 5-4. PUSHER & EXPANDER PUMPS
10.
Instal1 the tubing between the pusher ring 6, Fig. 5-2, and pump
4. Refer to the pump manufacturer's instructions in the Auxiliary
Equipment Section and fill the pumps with hydraulic oi] and purge
all the air from the lines.
Pressurize the pusher ring with pump 4 so that the ring is just
touching the coupling hub. Pressurize the hub bore with expander
pump 14 to 10,000 psig (703 kg/em@, 68.9 Pa) initially then in
1,000 psig (70 kg/em2, 6.9 MPa) increments until the coupling hub
48 loose on the bushing. It may be necessary to maintain the bore
pressure for fifteen to twenty minutes to allow for coupling hub
expansion. Do not exceed 30,000 psig (2109 kg/cm2, 206.9 MPa)
maximum bore pressure.
NOTE
Record the hydraulic bore pressure at which the coupling
hub is "loose" on the shaft taper. For subsequent re-
moval or assembly, the bore can be initially pressurized
to this value to reduce maintenance time.

Release the bore pressure. Disconnect the tubing from the shaft
and pusher ring. Return the pumps to tools storage. Remove the
nut and pusher ring from the shaft and return to tools storage.
Pull the coupling hub from the shaft. Wrap in heavy paper to pro-
tect the hub bore and store safely.
Reinstall the coupling locknut. Wrap the shaft taper with heavy
paper or sheet gasketing, and tape or wire in place.
REASSEMBLY, Refer to Figs. 5-2 and 5-4.
Al] the coupling components are on hand and are clean and service-
able. Procure the pump assembly illustrated on Fig. 5-4, and the
assembler/remover tools shown on Fig. 5-2. Clean these components
carefully.
Remove the protective cover from the shaft taper and the hub locknut.
Clean the taper and drillings carefully.
Inspect the bore of the coupling hub and the shaft taper for high
spots, burrs or signs of fretting from the previous operation. If
evident, carefully remove with a stone or fine emery paper. Do not
use a file.
Check the contact of the coupling hub on the shaft taper with Prussian
Blue or an equivalent; at least 80% contact should be obtained.
Assemble the coupling hub on the shaft without O-rings 9, 11 and
backing rings 10, 12 (Fig. 5-2), Hub must be metal-to-metal and
"square' with the shaft.
Very carefully measure the distance from the face of the coupling hub
to the end of the shaft. Record the dimension found. This is the
coupling hub shaft overhang with the hub metal-to-metal on the taper
without the O-rings, Step 5.
Pull the hub from the shaft and then reassemble, with O-rings 9, 11
and backing rings 10, 12 installed as shown on Fig. 5-2.
Refer to the Special Tools and assemble the hydraulic pump compo-
nents, Fig. 5-4, and coupling hub pusher components, Fig. 5-2, as
illustrated. Observe that the coupling nut is seated firmly against
the end of the shaft. Vent all air from the tubing.
Use the pusher pump and move the coupling hub to the position found
in Step 6. The O-rings will extrude if the hub bore is pressurized
before the coupling is pushed metal-to-metal on the shaft taper.
Install a dial indicator to observe the coupling hub axial travel.
Set the indicator dial to zero. Refer to the chart on page 5-3.6
for the axial travel required.
Set the pusher pump relief valve (integral part of pump) at 8000
psig (562.4 kg/cm, 55.12 MPa).
Increase the pusher pump pressure to 500 to 1000 psig (35 to 70
kg/em2, 3.4 to 6.9 MPa).

Pressurize the coupling hub bore to 10,000 psig (703 kg/cm?)
(68.9 MPa) while maintaining the pusher pump pressure.
CAUTION
Do not allow the coupling hub to move off the shaft
taper.
Gradually increase the bore pressure and pusher pressure to move
‘the coupling hub to its assembled positign. The maximum allowable
bore pressure is 30,000 psig (2109 kg/cm“) (206.9 MPa).
Record the axial travel observed on the indicator.
Release the expander punp bore pressure gradually (at 5000 psig,
(351 kg/cm) (34.5 MPa) intervals) while maintain the coupling hub
position with the pusher pump pressure. Wait a minimum of 10
minutes between intervals while releasing the bore pressure. When
the bore pressure reads zero, maintain the pusher pressure for an
additional 5 minutes then release the pusher pressure. Final coup-
Ting hub position should be within the Timits. shown on the chart on
page 5-3.6.
Remove the pumps and pusher components and return to the tool house.
Remeasure the coupling hub shaft overhang; should agree with dimen-
sion recorded in Step A.5, page 5-3.1. As a second check, the
dimension obtained in Step 8.6, minus dimension measured in Step
B.18, should equal the axial travel, dimension 'C', listed in the
chart on page 5-3.6.
Install the coupling locknut with a face spanner and lock with the
setscrew provided.
Before continuing the coupling reassembly, install the coupling guard
adapter and gaskets then place the guard O-ring and gland on the
adapter.
Complete the coupling reassembly. Refer to the manufacturer's
instructions contained in the Auxiliary Equipment Section.
Once the coupling is reassembled, install the coupling guard.

Keyed type coupling hubs are mounted on the shaft tapers with a light
interference fit. The design interference fit is given on the Coupling
Data Sheet contained in the Specifications Section of this manual.
Refer to the chart on page 5-4.4 to determine the axial travel required
to move the coupling hub from a metal-to-metal fit on the shaft taper
to its assembled position. This chart is for a 1/2 inch per foot shaft
taper only. The axial travel can also be determined by multiplying
the interference fit dimension by the shaft taper ratio. For example,
a shaft with a 3/4 inch per foot taper and a 0.0015 inch interference
fit, the axial travel required would be:
5-7 & 5-8

Coupling hubs which are a "straight" fit on the shaft are to be located
axially to the dimensions given on the coupling drawing in the Main Drive
or Auxiliary Equipment Section of the manual.
1. All the coupling components are on hand, and are clean and service-
able.
2. Remove the protective cover from the shaft taper and the hub Tock-
nut. Clean the taper carefully.
3. Inspect the bore of the coupling hub and the shaft taper for high
spots, burrs or signs of fretting from the previous operation.
If evident, carefully remove with a stone or fine emery paper. Do
not use a file.
4. Check the contact of the coupling hub on the shaft taper with
Prussian blue or an equivalent; at least 80% contact should be ‘ob-
tained.
5. Check Fit of the coupling key in shaft keyway, Sides should be
metal-to-metal (plus 0.002/minus 0.000 inches).
6. Install the hub on the shaft taper and rap lightly with a soft face
mallet to assure the hub is metal-to-metal on the taper.
7. Fabricate a bracket similar to that shown on Fig. 5-7 and attach
it to the coupling hub with capscrews threaded into tapped puller
holes in the hub face. Refer to the coupling drawings in Auxiliary
Equipment Section for dimensions of hub and puller hole locations.

Cover the piping ends to prevent ingress of dirt, etc.
Remove the capscrews and pull the blind end cover and gasket from
the service end.
Refer to page 5-6.1 and remove the temperature detector tubing be-
tween the bearing housings and adapters. Tag the tubing for loca-
tion and store safely.
Refer to page 5-12.1 and disconnect the radial and axial proximity
probes leads. Pull the leads through the adapters into the bear-
‘ing chambers.
Refer to page 5-13.1 and disconnect the embedded temperature detec-
tor leads. Loosen the packing glands and carefully pull the leads
into the bearing chambers.

3. The thrust bearing clearance is the actual distance that the rotor
will travel from one extreme to the other in an axial direction.
4. To check the amount of thrust clearance, attach a dial indicator
to the inlet head, preferably at the service (thrust bearing) end
of the compressor. With the spindle of the indicator contacting
the end of rotor shaft, apply force enough to the opposite end
=~ of the shaft to move it one direction completely its limit of
travel. Set indicator to zero reading and thrust the shaft in
the opposite direction. The amount read on the dial indicator
is the total clearance. Record the clearance.
Page 5-6.1NOTE
Normally there is no gasket or shim provided for adjusting
( the thrust bearing clearance. If the clearance is exces-
sive, the thrust bearing components must be inspected to
determine the "worn" pieces and new parts installed. Refer
to the Specifications Section in this manual for the design
thrust bearing clearance. If the thrust bearing clearance
is less than the minimum given in the Specifications, it is
permissible with Dresser Clark Engineering approval, ‘to in-
stall a suitably sized paper gasket (0.010 in./0.254 mm,
maximum) between the bearing housings.
WARNING
‘The oi1 supply to the bearings is via portings through the
head and housings. When a gasket is used, it must be made
such there is no obstruction to the oi] flow to the bearings.
B. Thrust Bearing Disassembly ~ Refer to Figs. 5-9, 5-10, 5-1] & 5-12
1. Remove the temperature detector tubing, radial and axial proximity
probes and loosen the embedded type temperature detector leads
packing glands, if not previously removed; refer to pages 5-12.1
and 5-13.1 for procedure.
2. Refer to Fig. 5-9. Remove two of capscrews 12 at the 2:30 and
9:30 o'clock positions and install the guide studs for bearing
removal as illustrated, Fig. 5-10.
Fig. 5-10. GUIDE STUDS FOR BEARING REMOVAL
3. Remove the remaining capscrews 12 and pull the thrust bearing
= cover 1 off onto the guide studs. Carefully pull the cover along
the guide studs until clear of the shaft end then move to storage
area. The seal ring 18 will be removed with the cover. The out-
board thrust bearing 19 may adhere to the cover. As soon as the
cover is out, ensure that the outboard thrust bearing remains in
housing 2 bore.
Page 5-6.2At the workbench: Use “snap-ring" pliers and remove the
retaining ring 17 then pull the seal ring 18 from the cover
bore; store safely.
Carefully pull the outboard thrust bearing 19 from the housing 2
bore. Handle with care as the thrust shoes are babbitt faced.
Wrap the thrust bearing in heavy paper and store safely.
Refer to Fig. 5-11. Loosen the setscrews 6 which secure the thrust
disc retainer nut 3. Refer to the Special Tools and procure the
special spanner wrench. Remove the retainer nut 3. The split
Ting 5 halves will be uncovered with nut removal. Remove the split
ring; complete Step 6 then reinstall the split ring halves taping
them in place if necessary.
Fig. 5-11. TYPICAL ROTOR ASSEMBLY
Measure the distance from the outboard end of the shaft split ring
groove to the face of the thrust disc with a depth gauge. Record
the dimension. The thrust disc must be returned to this position
when reassembled and using the same rotor and internals. If a
spare rotor or changeout internals are being installed, it may be
necessary to resize the thrust disc spacer 9.
Page 5-6.37. The thrust disc is a heavy interference fit on the bushing 4 and
must be hydraulically removed or installed. The bushing is a
( sliding fit on the shaft and can be easily pulled or assembled
fon the shaft once the disc is “loose”. In order to remove the
thrust disc from the bushing, proceed as follows: Use extreme
care to keep dirt, etc., from the hydraulic oi1 and components
used for thrust disc removal. Refer to the Special Tools Section
and procure the thrust disc removal components shown on Fig, 5-12.
a. Before installing the tools, matchmark the thrust disc to the
bushing and also the bushing to the shaft so that it can be
reassembled in the same radial position.
PUSHER & EXPANDER PUMPS ASSEMBLY
Fig. 5-12. THRUST DISC TOOLS
b. Install the pusher nut 3, pusher ring 6 and adapter ring 9
on the shaft as illustrated, Fig. 5-12, being sure the O-rings
and backup rings are in place. Be sure the pusher nut is
fully seated against the end face of the shaft shoulder.
NOTE
If the compressor rotor is driven from the thrust end and has
a hydraulic fit coupling hub, two special adapters are provided
with the Special Tools and are to be inserted into the shaft
bore. One adapter is "blind" and is used during the coupling
hub removal and assembly. The other adapter is “thru” and is
used during the thrust disc removal and assembly, The “blind”
adapter directs the hydraulic of] to the coupTing hub bore
while the "thru" adapter blanks off the drillings to the hub
and allows the flow to be directed to the thrust disc bore.
c. Assembly the tubing/fittings between expansion and pusher
pumps as illustrated, Fig. 5-12, being sure the tubing/
fittings are clean. The expansion pump is to be connected
to the shaft and the pusher pump to the nut.
Page 5-6.4WARNING
These tool assemblies incorporate high energy apparatus and
extreme care must be taken in the assembly, operation and
maintenance of the tools. Never substitute other parts for
those provided. The hydraulic tubing and related parts are
painted safety code color "Orange".
d. Refer to the pump manufacturer's instructions in the Auxiliary
Equipment Section of the manual to fill the pumps with hy-
draulic ofl and purge the hydraulic system of all air.
e. Pressurize the pusher ring 6 with the pusher pump 4 so that
the adapter ring 9 is just touching the thrust disc. Pres-
sure the disc bore with expansion pump 14 to 10,000 psig
(703 kg/em2) (68.9 MPa) initially then in 1,000 psig (70
kg/cm2) (6.9 MPa) increments until the disc is loose on the
bushing. It may be necessary to maintain the bore pressure
for fifteen to twenty minutes to allow for thrust disc ex-
pansion. Do not exceed 30,000 psig (2109 kg/cm) (206.9
MPa) maximum.
Nore
Record the hydraulic bore pressure at which the thrust disc is
"Joose" on the bushing. For subsequent removal or assembly,
the bore can be initially pressurized to this value to reduce
maintenance time.
f. Release the pusher pump pressure by reversing the pump and
allow the thrust disc to move axially on the bushing.
g. Release the bore pressure. Disconnect the tubing from the
shaft and nut and return the pumps to tools storage. Remove
the nut, pusher ring and adapter, and return them to tools
storage.
h. Refer to Fig. 5-11. Pull the thrust disc 2 from the bushing
4. The thrust disc is finish ground on both sides and warrants
careful handling.
Remove the split ring 5 halves, then pull the bushing 4 and
bushing spacer 9 from the shaft.
IMPORTANT
The bushing spacer 9 locates the rotor assembly in relation to
the stationary internal components. If the spacer should be
damaged, the replacememnt spacer must be identical in thickness
as the original when using the same rotor and internals. Mea-
sure the thickness of bushing spacer with a micrometer to four
decimal points and log for permanent record. If new internals
or a different rotor are installed, the bushing spacer may have
to be resized; refer to page 5-7.1 for procedure.

upper half of the cage partially shrouds two of the
lower half bearing shoes.
2) The bearing cage halves can be lifted directly out.
The upper half cage is secured with two holding screws
6/9 which must be removed first.
3) Place the cage/cover/shoes assembly down on a flat
surface with the cover facing up. Remove capscrews

d. Repeat Steps 1 a., b., and c. to remove the opposite end jour-
nal bearing assembly.
D. Bearing Inspection - Refer to Fig. 5-9.
1, Journal Bearing Shoes - Inspect the babbitt lining for scratches,
grooves and evidence of a good bond to steel backing. Radial
scratches and grooves can be tolerated if the edges can be blended
into the normal surface, and the load bearing area is not appreci-
ably redcued. Axial grooves tend to disrupt formation of an oil
film and the shoe should not be reused. A poor bond can be iden-
tified by fine hairline cracks or portions of the babbitt lining
broken away from the shoe. Reject such shoes. Inspect the backs
of shoes carefully for scuffed areas in way of the pivot point.
Such areas can be smoothed out with an oil wetted emery cloth.
= 2. Bearing Cage - Inspect the seating surfaces carefully for nicks
and burrs. Dress off any found with a fine cut file.
3, Bearing Housings - Inspect rail fit to cage and ‘marry’ to mating
piece. Entire seating surfaces must be free of nicks and burrs.
4, Thrust Bearings (Inboard/Outboard) - The thrust shoe assemblies
are not normal maintenance items. It is recommended that the
thrust bearings be replaced as complete assemblies; however, the
thrust bearing shoes can be replaced at the site if worn or dam-
aged, All thrust bearing shoes when assembled must be the same
thickness within 0.0005 in. (0.013 mm). Inspect the base rings
carefully for cracks radiating from the retaining screw holes.
Observe that while shoes are "loose" on the base ring, the pivot
and retaining screws forbid removal from the base ring. Thrust
shoe babbitt faces should all show equal wear with wear indicated
in the same general location on each shoe. Assuming a clean oi]
at design pressure/temperature, tool marks should still be visible
over the entire shoe surface. ‘Scratches or grooves at 90° to
rotation can disrupt the oil films required for good lubrication
and may tend to increase loading on other shoes. Reference can be
made to the operating log sheets on changes in "thrust bearing oi1
‘out! temperatures", If a marked increase has been noted with a
generally constant compressor operating condition, it is strongly
Teconmended that the thrust bearing be replaced with new.

co Fig. 5-12A. TYPICAL THRUST BEARING
a. If necessary, the thrust bearings can be disassembled at the
work bench as follows; refer to Fig. 5-12A.
1) Place the thrust bearing assembly on the bench with the
base ring facing up. Protect the babbitt faced thrust
shoes from damage,
2) Remove the machine screws from the base ring, then invert
the assembly so the thrust shoes are facing up.
3) Number the thrust shoes so that they can be kept in the
same radial position on the base ring and to each other.
4) Pull the thrust shoes radially until clear of the retein-
ing pins.
5) The retaining pins are a “metal-to-netal” fit (0.000 to
0.003 in,/0.000 to 0.076 mm Toose) in the base ring and
are not a maintenance item unless damaged. If replacenent
pins are required, invert the base ring and set on wooden
blocks sufficiently high to drive the retaining pins out.
NOTE
The retaining pins were peened over at assembly. It may
be necessary to drill the head slightly to remove peened
— area, if they cannot be easily tapped out with a punch.
( 6) Protect the parts against corrosion or other damage and
store safely.
Page 5-6.8db.
The thrust bearing is to be reassembled as follows:
1) Clean all of the thrust bearing parts with a non-flamable
solvent and blow dry with air.
2) Check the base ring on a surface plate and with a micro
meter for warpage or uneven wear. Base ring end faces
must be parallel and square with OD (outside diameter)
within 0.0005 in, (0.013 mm).
3) If replacement retaining pins are to be installed, place
the base ring on the bench, slotted side down. Piace the
pins in the base ring so that the flats on each pin are
perpendicular to the outside diameter of the base ring.
Turn the base ring over and using a peening tool, secure
each pin to the base ring.
4) Invert the base ring on the bench, and using a straight
edge across opposite retaining pins, check that the flats
are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the outer
diameter of the base ring. Repeat Step 2) for the base
ring.
5) Measure the thickness of the thrust bearing shoes. All of
the shoes in the assembly must be the same thickness within
0.0005 in. (0.013 mm). The design thickness of the thrust
bearing shoes is given in the Specification Section; replace
the shoes if thickness if 0.005 in. (0,13 mm) Tess than the
minimum, If the set of thrust shoes are not within the
0.0005 in, (0,013 mm) tolerance:
a) Measure the thickness of all the thrust shoes to de-
termine the thinnest shoe. Each shoe which does NOT
measure within 0.0005 in. (0.013 mm) should be rubbed
with a 320 grit cloth on the babbitt face.
b) Each thrust shoe must then be lapped on a lapping
Plate using "Time-Saver" yellow Tapping compound
mixed with a light machine oi] to forma paste.
c) Apply lapping paste to both the thrust shoe babbitt
face and the lapping plate. Rub the shoe on the plate
using the paste as a lubricant. This will gradually
both clean and smooth the babbitt surface.
d) Clean off the shoe periodically and measure its thick-
ness until it is within proper tolerance. Always clean
the shoe with a non-flammable solvent then blow dry
with air.
e) Once all the thrust shoes are within tolerance, pro-
ceed as follows: .
6) Turn the base ring over so that it is setting on the retain-
‘ing pins; tapped holes for machine screws will be facing up.
Page 5-6.97) Carefully slide the thrust bearing shoes between the re-
taining pins with the countoured side up and using care
note to damage the babbitt face.
CAUTION
Be certain to use the correct part number thrust shoe.
Shoes are not interchangeable between the inboard and
outboard thrust bearings.
8) Line up the hole in the thrust shoe with the tapped
hole in the base ring then install the machine screw.
Tighten firmly and stake to secure.
NOTE
Install the thrust shoe in the radial position from
which it was removed. Replacement shoes are to be
installed in the position of the worn component. If
axial proximity probes or embedded type temperature
detectors are used, refer to the actual Thrust Bear-
‘ing Assembly drawing in the Parts Lists Section to
radially locate these thrust shoes.
9) Turn the thrust bearing assembly over and observe that
the shoes are free to tilt on the base ring but still
secured by the retaining pins and the machine screws.
10) Thoroughly coat the bearing with oi] and wrap in heavy
paper until reassembly in the compressor.
E, Checking Journal Bearing Clearances - Refer to Fig. 5-9.
ie
In view of the type of construction of this bearing (tilting pad)
a diametral clearance check is difficult and is not considered to
be of any real value. The bearing shoes and cage are machined to
fine tolerances and hand fitting to obtain a given clearance is
not necessary. The journal bearing shoe design radial thickness
is given in the Specifications Section of this manual, It is
recommended the shoes be measured and replacements installed if
the thickness is less than the minimum listed.
Careful visual inspection of each bearing shoe will indicate if
replacement with a new shoe is required. Inspect each shoe for
scoring, poor bonding or loss of babbitt, etc. If any doubt exists,
it is recommended that replacement shoes be used.
NOTE
It is not always necessary to replace a complete set of
bearing shoes. If, for example, the babbitt bond is poor
on one shoe, then replace that shoe and reuse the remain-
ing shoes if visual inspection indicates their good con-
dition.
Do not intermix the shoes between sets at each end of the compressor.

Measure and record dimension 'C'; should be the same as recorded in
Step B.6, if the same components are installed. As a final check,
dimensions 'C plus T' will equal 'A'.
Refer to Fig. 5-11 and remove the tape, if used, from the split ring
5, Clean and reinstall the split ring in the shaft groove outboard
of bushing. Ring can be made to adhere to the shaft with several
dabs of grease until the retaining nut 3 is installed.
NOTE
If a new or replacement bushing or spacer has been installed, it
may be necessary to grind the split ring thickness to suit at
assembly, Measure distance from outboard end of bushing to back
of split ring shaft groove. Grind the split ring to the dimen-
sion found plus 0,000 minus 0,003 inches (plus 0.000 minus 0.08
mn), Finish grind must assure the sides are parallel and square
with the bore within 0.0005 inches (0.013 mn) F.1.R. (fully in~
dicated reading).
Install the retaining nut 3 and lock in place with setscrew 6.
Check the "run-out" of the thrust disc as follows:
a. Secure a dial indicator to the bearing housing with the indi-
cator button bearing against the face of the thrust disc near
its outside diameter.
b. Force the rotor assembly against the inboard thrust bearing
shoes and rotate the shaft through 360°. If the disc 'run-
out! exceeds 0.0005 in. (0.01 mm) F.I.R. (fully indicated
reading), remove the thrust disc, bushing and spacer. Check
each on a surface plate and with a micrometer for warpage
or uneven wear, Replace with new parts if necessary. The
rotor must not drift axially while being rotated if this
test is to be effective.
NOTE
If a replacement thrust disc is used, it must be the same
thickness as the original so that the thrust bearing axial
clearance remains the same. The same applies if new thrust
bearing assemblies are installed.
If a replacement bushing spacer is used, the spacer must
be ground to the same thickness as the original if the
same rotor and internals are used. When a replacement
rotor or internals are installed, the bushing spacer must
be resized; refer to page 5-7.1 for procedure.
If the thrust disc runout is satisfactory, proceed as follows:

Refer to Fig. 5-9. Carefully place the outboard thrust bearing
19 in the thrust housing 2 bore taking care to note position of
dowel hole in the base ring to dowel in the thrust cover 1. Be
sure the thrust bearing is clean and thoroughly coat the thrust
shoes and disc with oil. Observe there is no burrs on either
the thrust bearing base ring or cover surfaces which will be seating
the thrust bearing.
Insert the seal ring 18 in the thrust bearing cover 1 bore and se~
cure with retaining ring 17.
Carefully guide the cover over the shaft onto the guide studs with
dowel in cover aligned to mating hole in the housing face. Push
‘the cover firmly against the housing noting dowels in cover enter
mating holes in the housing and outboard thrust bearing.
Insert capscrews 12 and cross-tighten them to ensure the assembly
is pulled up square.
With the bearings completely reassembled, recheck the thrust bear-
‘ing axial clearance, Page 5-6.1. If satisfactory, rotate the shaft
by hand using the coupling locknut and a spanner wrench. No tight
spots should be felt.
The end cover and coupling guard adapters, radial and axial prox-
imity probes and temperature detector tubing can not be installed.

5-15
When a spare or replacement rotor and/or internals are being installed
it will be necessary to determine the correct thickness of the thrust
disc bushing spacer. The spacer positions the rotor axially in re-
Jation to the stationary internal components.
a. The internal bundle lower half is completely assembly, Sec-
tion 5-11.
b. Carefully lower the rotor into the lower half bundle until it
is resting on the internal labyrinth halves. Leave the slings
rigged so that they support most of the rotor weight.
Refer to page 5-7.3 and measure the overlap on each impeller at each
side of the bundle splitline and average the results. Position the
rotor axially so that the overlaps are as near optimum as possible.
With the optimum overlap determined, carefully push the rotor toward
the intake or Ist section end its limit of travel. Use a dial indi-
cator to measure this distance and record the dimension found.
Now push the rotor its limit of travel toward the discharge or 2nd
section end again using a dial indicator to measure and record the
dimension found. The minimum allowable total axial movement (end
float) of the rotor is 0.250 in. (6.35 mm).
CAUTION
Do not apply excessive load to the end of rotor when determining
‘the axial movement.
Lower the rotor until supported by the internal labyrinths then com-
plete the compressor reassembly through installing the inboard thrust
bearing, page 5-6.13, Step H.3.
To determine the correct thickness of the bushing spacer, proceed
as follows:
a. Push the rotor assembly its limit of travel toward the intake
or Ist section end (until stopped by the internal components).
b. Now, using a dial indicator, carefully position the rotor to
the dimension found in Step’3 to obtain the optimum impeller
to diffuser overlaps. ;
c. Carefully measure the distance (to four decimal points) from
the face of the inboard thrust bearing shoes to the shaft
shoulder seating the bushing spacer, dimension 'A', Fig. 5-15.
d. Now measure the thrust disc bushing flange thickness, dimension
"BY, Fig. 5-15.
Page 5-7.1e. The bushing spacer thickness, dimension 'C', will then be
'A' minus "B' + 0,010 in, (0.254 mm).

It is necessary to complete the thrust and journal bearing disassembly proce-
dures to provide access to the inner oi1 seal components.
Seal assembly components rank with the thrust and journal bearings for optimum
compressor operation. Handle and store all parts carefully. Seal disassembly
can start at either end. It is recommended that one assembly be removed be-
fore starting disassembly at the opposite end. This precaution is required
only for pulling the inner labyrinth but is reconmended for complete disassem-
bly. Seal components (except for labyrinths) are interchangeable between the
drive and service ends of the compressor. Some parts are a light lapped fit to
adjacent parts; therefore, the assemblies should not be intermixed.

A, Disassembly
1. Obtain bumper type puller from the special tools. Thread the rods
into the puller holes provided in the face of the outer labyrinth 6
as illustrated in Fig. 5-17,
2. Carefully bump the labyrinth from the housing 1 bore. When free,
pull the labyrinth off the shaft. Use care not to damage the labyrinth
knife edges.
3, Repeat Steps 1 and 2 and remove the outer housing 1.
4, Remove the outer seal ring 6 and bearing shoes 8 by hand. Use care
not to damage the babbitt-lined seal ring or shoes. Do not allow the
ring or shoes to "drag" over any shaft shoulders or threads.

Pull the inner seal ring 9 from the shaft using the same care as
for the outer seal ring-bearing shoes. The seal ring can be pulled
with the inner housing 3 if necessary.
Remove the inner housing as outlined in Steps 1 and 2. If the seal
ring remained in the housing, push the housing back into the head
bore as soon as the ring seats on the next smaller shaft diameter.
Remove the ring, then the housing.
Fig. 5-17. INNER SEAL PARTS PULLER
The inner labyrinth 4 can now be removed. Provide a temporary
support for the rotor and raise the shaft to just relieve the
weight on the labyrinth knife edges.
Repeat Steps 1 and 2 and carefully bump the labyrinth from the head
bore. When free, remove the rotor support and pull the labyrinth
off the shaft. Use care not to damage the labyrinth knife edges.
Repeat Steps 1 through 7 and remove the opposite end seal assembly.
Protect all of the seal components from corrosion or other damage
and store safely.
C, Inspection - Refer to Fig. 5-16.
Ve
Seal Rings: Clean the seal rings carefully and wipe dry. Inspect
the babbitted bore carefully for scratches, grooves, etc. Radial
scratches and grooves can be tolerated in the rings if moderate in
area and sharp edges can be removed. Axial grooves are cause for
rejection. Place the rings on a flat surface and measure ID (In-
side Diamenter) for wear. Replacement is recommended if wear brings
Page 5-8.2the clearance above the maximum listed in the Specifications Sec-
tion. Record the clearances found. Vertical seats on the rings
abut respectively against the bearing and seal housings. These
seats are provided with a light lap fit to remove tools marks.
Inspect carefully and lap only if necessary. Use a fine oil mix
compound. Clean the rings carefully, protect against corrosion
and wrap in heavy paper.
Bearing Shoes: Remove the centering screws 15 through the outer
seal ring 6 outer periphery. Pull the shoes from the ring after
matchnarking their radial position in the seal ring. Inspect the
bearing shoes babbitt lining for scratches, grooves and evidence
of a good bond to steel backing. Radial scratches and grooves can
be tolerated if the edges can be blended into the normal surface,
and the load bearing area is not appreciably reduced. Axial grooves
‘tend to disrupt formation of an oil film and the shoe should not be
reused. A poor bond can be identified by fine hairline cracks or
Portions of the babbitt lining broken away from the shoe. Reject
such shoes. Inspect the backs of shoes carefully for scuffed areas
in way of the pivot point. Such areas can be smoothed out with an
oi] wetted emery cloth.
In order to equalize wear on the bearing shoes, each shoe can be
advanced one position in the direction of rotation. Reinstall the
bearing shoes in the seal ring, Replacement bearing shoes are to
be installed in the position of the worn component. Install the
shoe centering screws.
CAUTION
Refer to Fig. 5-18, Bottom the centering screws, then, using
a depth gauge, determine the clearance between the bottom of
the screw head and the counterbored hole in the seal ring. There
must be a minimum 0.015 in. (0.38 mm) clearance which allows
the bearing shoes to "tilt" freely during operation. The bear-
ing shoes must NOT be locked rigidly to the seal ring. If the
capscrews are too short to obtain the design clearance, install
replacement capscrews. Rework the length of replacement cap-
screws as necessary to obtain the design clearance.

Reassembly - Refer to Figs. 5-16, 5-17 & 5-19.
1.
Although the inner components are interchangeable between the first
and second section ends, care must be taken not to mix these parts
because the seal rings are lapped to their respective housings.
AN] the seal components should be clean and the head bore and shaft
Journals wiped off before starting assembly. Renewal of all O-rings
is strongly advised because their perfect condition is necessary
for best seal performance. Extreme care should be taken when in-
serting the housings and labyrinths to avoid tearing or shaving the
O-rings. A light coating of oi7 on the O-rings will facilitate
assembly.
With the O-rings 13, 14 in place and alignment dowel 5 at top
center, insert the inner labyrinth carefully to avoid damage to
the knife edges. The puller rods may be used to guide the laby-
rinth into the head bore. Align the dowel with the slot in the
head and seat the labyrinth against the head shoulder.
Nove,
Once the labyrinth is on the shaft, provide a temporary support
to center the shaft on its normal axis. Seat the labyrinth in
the head bore then remove the temporary support. The rotor is
now supported on the labyrinth knife edges, Do not "bump" or
rotate the rotor while so supported.
With O-rings 11, 13in place, insert the seal housing 3 with the loca-
ting dowel hole at top center. Be certain that the dowel slips into
‘the housing and that the housing seats against the labyrinth.
Carefully guide the inner seal ring 9 over the shaft and into the
seal housing bore. Be certain that the dowel is aligned with the
slot in the housing so that the ring seats against the housing
shoulder. Coat the shaft seal ring journal with oi] before install-
‘ing the seal ring.
NOTE
If new seal rings are used, they must first be lapped to their
respective housings.
Page 5-8.4Refer to the Special Tools and procure the seal ring-bearing shoes
assembly tool. Inspect the sleeve OD (Outside Diameter) for burrs,
etc., which could damage the babbitt lined bearing shoes and seal
ring. Dress off then thoroughly coat the sleeve 0D and the shaft
seal ring journal with oil, Place the sleeve on the shaft as
lustrated in Fig. 5-19.

Carefully place the outer seal ring 6 bearing shoes 8 assembly on
‘the sleeve and push into the housing 3 bore aligning the dowel in
the seal ring to the slot in the housing. Bottom the ring then
remove the sleeve.
With O-rings1Zin place, install the outer housing 1 as outlined
in Step 3. Be certain dowel enters mating hole in inner housing
3eand that outer housing is seated against the inner housing.
With O-rings 18 in place, install the outer labyrinth 16. Be certain
dowel 17 enters mating slot in housing 1 and that the labyrinth is
seated against the outer housing.
Repeat Steps 2 through 8 for the opposite end seal assembly.
The thrust and journal bearings can now be installed; refer to
Section 5-6.
Page 5-8.5PULLER BLOCKS, RETAINING & SHEAR RINGS & SERVICE END HEAD
General
Both bearing and seal assemblies have been removed. The inlet head is retained
against internal pressures by means of segmented retaining and shear rings
seating in an annulus turned in case core. This sequence must be followed
closely, since some of the segmented ring components could be loose to drop
‘onto the exposed rotor shafting.
A. Disassembly - Refer to Figs. 5-20, 5-21 & 5-22
1. Loosen the puller nuts. Use the pusher nuts and force the inlet
head "in" away from the retaining ring then remove the puller blocks,

Rig a chain fall into a hoist hook that is capable of sustaining
the head weight; refer to the Specifications, Section 6, for the
approximate weight. Also, rig the chain fall into a sling made
fast to the lifter using a screw type shackle. Adjust the chain
fall to “float” the head in the case bore. Taking care to keep
‘the head centered, pull straight back until clear of the shaft
end. Move the head to the storage area and set down on wood blocks
‘inboard face down. The lifter can remain bolted to the head. Cover

NOTE
It is strongly recommended that a chain fall capable
of safely handling weight of the inlet head be rigged
into a hoist hook. Be so doing, minute vertical ad-
justments can be made. This is particularly true if
rigging to the head when the assembly to be hoisted
is contained wholly or partially within the case.

case bore and slide under head to provide a.metal-to-metal contact.
Obtain a retaining ring segment 'C' and try fit at bottom center.
Entry into annulus should be made without difficulty. If difficulty
is experienced.
@) Note the puller nuts on the studs are “loose” then drive up
‘the pusher nuts to seat the head in the case bore.
b) Try the retaining ring segment fit which should now be satis-
