h) Ensure all lubrication passageways in the
bearing housing are clean and free from 
damage. 
i)
Check the driver manufacturer's instructions. 
As a minimum, check the bearings and shaft 
for straightness. 
j)
The lubricant, bearings and bearing seals in 
the motor should be inspected for 
contamination and damage. 
6.10 Magnets
Demagnetization of the magnet material can be the 
result of either high operating temperatures around 
the magnet assemblies or decoupled magnets 
operating around a metallic containment shell. 
 
High ambient temperatures are detrimental to the 
attraction properties of the magnets. 
 
The inner magnet assembly is most susceptible to 
high operating temperatures and cannot tolerate 
operation above its upper critical temperature limit. 
If decoupling has occurred or if a system
upset has caused the temperature limits to be 
exceeded, the original strength of the magnets may 
have decreased. The following torque test 
procedure should be followed in such a situation. 
 
6.10.1.1 Magnet torque test procedure 
a) Remove the casing [1100] from the pump. 
b) Secure the bearing housing on a stable 
worktable.
c) Lock the outer rotor assembly [230] in position.
Insert bolt in assembly hole.
d) Remove the impeller [2200] by using a strap
wrench around the periphery of the impeller. 
Turn counterclockwise. 
e) Install a shaft adapter on the shaft [2100.1]
threaded connection.

f) Use a torque wrench on the shaft adapter nut
and turn clockwise to measure the force 
required to break the magnetic coupling. 
Adjust the wrench setting such that the torque 
value is determined prior to breaking the 
magnetic couple. This is the torque capability 
of the magnetic coupling.

6.11 Assembly
To assemble the pump consult the sectional 
drawings. See section 8, Parts lists and drawings. 
 
Ensure threads, gasket and O-ring mating faces 
are clean. Apply thread sealant to non-face sealing 
pipe thread fittings. 
 
6.11.1 Outer assembly - bearing housing 
assembly
a) If removed, replace the skid ring [252]. 
b) If the radial ball bearings [3011s] are found to 
be damaged, remove the damaged ones and 
press two new bearings onto the shaft. 
Be sure to press on only the inner
race of the bearing whilst pressing it onto the 
shaft [2100.2]. Press bearings up to the shaft 
shoulders. 
c) Install the bearing/shaft assembly into the bore
of the bearing housing [3200].
d) Seat the end cover gasket [4590.4]. 
e) Bolt bearing end cover [3260] to bearing 
housing face with screws [6570.4].
Be sure that the oil return grooves on
the gasket and end cover line up.
f) Tighten screws crosswise to 13 Nm (9.6 lbf•ft)
torque.
g) Turn the shaft coupling end to ensure freedom
of rotation.
h) Install the flinger [2540] over the shaft.
Be sure that the flinger is not pressed
down hard against the bearing end cover.
i)
Position the bearing housing [3200] 
horizontally. 
j)
Coat the outer magnet rotor threads with anti-
seize compound. 
k) Insert outer magnet rotor [230] into the large bore
of the bearing housing and screw onto the frame 
shaft. 
Right hand thread.
