To first obstruction
(See assembly drawing)
Face of vessel flange to
be square to the axis of
the shaft to within 0.25 mm
(0.010 inch) FIM and have
a √1.6 µm (63 µinch) Ra
finish or better
• Bearings, drive, and coupling must be in good condition
• Maximum vertical shaft movement (axial end play) = 0.61 mm (0.024 inch) FIM
• Maximum static vessel flange out of concentricity = 0.50 mm (0.020 inch) FIM
• Maximum static vessel flange to shaft out of squareness = 0.25 mm (0.010 inch) FIM
• Maximum dynamic shaft deflection = 3 mm (0.125 inch) FIM
The MD-200 Seal design may include an optional radial bearing in
the canister to protect the seal from excessive shaft runout or whip.
