7.7 Notes on assembly
Use original spare parts. See also Chapter 2.4.
Do not use defective parts.
Apply Anti-Seize special assembly paste (e.g. from
Weicon) to the fitting surfaces (not any stainless
steel surfaces) and screw thread prior to
assembly.
Check whether all parts fit and only then
assemble.
Important dimensions (centerings, bearing fits or
bearing play) are to be checked prior to assembly;
perform a trial assembly if required.
We recommend that the housing gasket 401, the
cover gasket 403 (oil bath lubrication) and the
shaft sleeve 523/1 be replaced during every new
assembly.
Always replace the circlip 932/7.
Remove metallic particles adhering to magnetic
components such as the inner magnet assembly
859 and the drive magnet assembly 858 prior to
assembly.
For this purpose simple plasticene can be used.
A complete assembly process is described in the
following.
Sub-sections can be deduced from this.
See also Chapter 7.5.
7.7.1 Table for target dimension Z
The plain bearings require a minimum axial play for
perfect functioning. This axial play "Z" must be
checked using the drawing Fig. 6 after completion of
assembly.

7.8 Assembly
A complete assembly process is described in the
following.
Sub-sections can be deduced from this.
7.8.1 Assembly of housing /
shaft spider
Push or press the shaft spider 338 into the
housing 100 together with the two anti-torsion
inserts 566/1.
Use a suitable plastic tube for pressing.
The pressing force must only be
applied over the sliding surface of
the shaft spider.
(risk of the silicon carbide breaking)
Insert shaft sleeve 523/1 into the shaft spider
338.
7.8.2 Assembly of slide-in unit
Press the inner magnet assembly 859 onto the
impeller 230. Pay attention to the correct
alignment of the driver cams.
Press the circlip 932/7 into the appropriate
groove on the impeller 230 with a suitable plastic
tube. Make sure that the click connection of the
circlip 932/7 audibly engages to perform its
function.
