Diameter/tolerance, under bearings: 
In order to ensure proper fit between the shaft and 
bearings, verify that both the inboard (IB) and 
outboard (OB) shaft diameter is consistently within 
the minimum/maximum values shown in Figure 6-14. 
A micrometer should be used to check these outside 
diameter (OD) dimensions on the shaft.

1. The maximum values of acceptable unbalance are: 
1 500 r/min: 40 g
·mm/kg (1 800 r/min: 0.021 oz-in./lb) of mass.
2 900 r/min: 20 g
·mm/kg (3 600 r/min: 0.011 oz-in./lb) of mass.
Flowserve performs a single plane spin balance on most 
impellers. Balancing is performed to the ISO 1940 Grade 6.3 
tolerance criteria. 
2. ASME B73.1 does not specify a recommended level of alignment.
Flowserve recommends that the motor be aligned to the pump 
within 0.05 mm (0.002 in.) parallel Full Indicator Movement (FIM) 
and 0.0005 mm/mm (0.0005 in./in.) angular FIM. Closer 
alignment will extend MTBPM. For detail discussion of this 
subject see Section 5, Installation, of this manual. 
3. See ASME B73.1, paragraph 5.1.4.
 
6.9.4.2 Bearings 
It is recommended that bearings not be re-used after 
removal from the shaft. Prior to mounting bearings, 
check the following parameters. 
 
Diameter/tolerance, inside diameter: 
In order to ensure proper fit between bearings and 
the shaft, verify that the inside diameter (ID) of both 
the IB and OB bearing are consistently within the 
minimum/maximum values shown in Figure 6-14. An 
inside caliper should be used to check these ID 
diameters on the bearings. 
Diameter/tolerance, outside diameter: 
In order to ensure proper fit between bearings and the 
bearing housing, verify that the OD on both the IB and 
OB bearings are consistently within the minimum/ 
maximum values shown in Figure 6-15. A micrometer 
should be used to check these OD dimensions on the 
bearings.
