Assembly and Installation Procedure

1. Remove all oil film, all dust or other foreign material from the following components:
Rubber toric ring (3)
Shaft ramp (5)
Seal ring ramp (7)
Seal ring retaining lip (6)
Use isopropyl alcohol or other approved lubricants for assembly. Use a clean lint free cloth for
wiping. All components should be completely dry prior to proceeding.
Note: Never permit oil to contact the following components before the shaft seal ring and the
retainer seal ring is assembled in the final position:
Rubber toric ring (3)
Shaft ramp (5)
Seal ring ramp (7)
5/1/23, 4:00 PM SIS 2.0
2. Put rubber toric ring (3) on shaft seal ring (2). Make sure that the rubber toric ring is positioned
at the bottom of seal ring ramp (7) and that the rubber toric ring is resting against retaining lip
(6). The rubber toric ring must be straight in the shaft seal ring. The rubber toric ring must not be
twisted.
Note: Be careful when you are working on the rubber toric ring. Nicks, cuts, or scratches may
cause leaks.
3. Put toric stabilizer (4) on shaft (1) .

4. Refer to Special Instruction, SEHS8974, "Tool and Specification Chart for Inverted Duo-Cone
Seals" in order to select the proper installation tool. Hold installation tool (9) with shaft seal ring
(2) and rubber toric ring (3) .
Note: Lubricating the shaft seal ring for installation is not recommended. However, lubricant
may be used. Refer to ""Alternate Methods for Installation of the Shaft Seal Ring" " section in
this publication for additional information.
Note: Do not use any liquid that leaves an oil film. Do not use any liquid that does not evaporate
quickly.

5/1/23, 4:00 PM SIS 2.0
Note: If lubricant for assembly is used, all surfaces of rubber toric ring (3) must remain wet
during installation.
5. Use installation tool (9) to position shaft seal ring (2) and rubber toric ring (3) squarely on the
shaft. See Illustration 7 and Illustration 8.
5/1/23, 4:00 PM SIS 2.0
6. Check assembled height (B) at four locations that are 90 degrees from each other. The
difference in height around the ring must not exceed 0.8 mm (0.03 inch). Check assembled
height (B) by using a caliper, a calibrated ruler or any other calibrated measuring device.
5/1/23, 4:00 PM SIS 2.0
7. Do not push on shaft seal ring (2) or pull on shaft seal ring (2) in order to make small
adjustments. Use installation tool (9) in order to push down on the seal. Use your fingers to
uniformly pull up rubber toric ring (3) and shaft seal ring (2) .
5/1/23, 4:00 PM SIS 2.0
8. Rubber toric ring (3) may twist if the ring is not completely wet. Rubber toric ring (3) may twist
during installation if there are burrs or fins on shaft (1). Misalignments, twists, and bulges of the
rubber toric ring will cause Duo-Cone Seal failures. If correct installation is not obvious, remove
the seal from the shaft and repeat the installation procedure.

5/1/23, 4:00 PM SIS 2.0
9. Rubber toric ring (3) must never slip on the ramps of either shaft seal ring (2) or shaft (1). Allow
an adequate amount of time for evaporation of the lubricant. Allow time for evaporation before
proceeding with the procedure. This will prevent slippage. Once rubber toric ring (3) is correctly
in place, the rubber toric ring must roll only on the ramps.

Refer to ""Results of Incorrect Assembly" " section in this publication for additional information.
10. Put O-ring (12) on seal ring (11) that is for the retainer.
5/1/23, 4:00 PM SIS 2.0
11. Lubricate rubber O-ring (12) for easier assembly into retainer (10). Refer to ""Acceptable
Lubricants for Assembling the Retainer Seal Ring" " section in this publication for additional
information. Use installation tool (9) and a press in order to insert retainer seal ring (11) and
rubber O-ring (12) into retainer (10). Insert retainer seal ring (11) until the ring rests against the
bottom of the bore that is in retainer (10) .
Note: Do not use too much lubricant. Make sure that the lubricant does not contact shaft ramp
(5) or make contact with rubber toric ring (3) during assembly.
5/1/23, 4:00 PM SIS 2.0
12. Check assembled height (C) with a depth gauge at four locations that are 90 degrees from each
other. The difference in height around the ring must not exceed 0.6 mm (0.02 inch).

Use a clean lint free cloth. No particles of any kind are permissible on the sealing surfaces. A
illa
small piece of paper from a paper towel can force apart the seal ring face, which will cause a
leak.

14. Apply a thin film of clean oil on the entire seal ring face of one or both seals. Use a lint free cloth
or brush in order to distribute the oil evenly. Be careful not to get any oil on the rubber toric ring.
Lubricate the seal faces by using the same oil that was used during assembly. Dye may have
been used in the oil that was used during assembly. Use the same kind of oil without dye in
order to lubricate the seal faces.
5/1/23, 4:00 PM SIS 2.0
15. Select correct alignment sleeve (14). Make sure that O-ring (15) is installed in retainer (10).
Insert alignment sleeve (14) into the bores of retainer (10) and retainer seal ring (11). Slip the
assembly over shaft (1). Carefully move and slowly move alignment sleeve (14), retainer (10)
and seal ring (11) to the final position.
Note: Do not force the retainer and the retainer seal ring together in a sudden manner. The seal
component could be scratched or the seal component could be broken if the components are
slammed together.
16. Tighten the bolts after the components are in the correct position.
17. Remove alignment sleeve (14) .
Alternate Methods for Installation of the Shaft Seal Ring

The shaft seal ring may be installed without a lubricant. Refer to Step 5 for the procedure to use the
installation tool in order to position the shaft seal ring and the rubber toric ring squarely on the shaft.
Refer to Step 6 for dry assembly of the rubber toric ring that is for the shaft. Dry assembly is
approved for only the shaft seal.
The shaft seal ring may be installed by using isopropyl alcohol as a lubricant for assembly. If
isopropyl alcohol is used, the following conditions must be met:
5/1/23, 4:00 PM SIS 2.0
All guidelines for safety and guidelines for disposal that are for flammable liquids must be
followed.
Use a lint free cloth in order to wipe the rubber toric ring with the proper lubricant. You may dip
the rubber toric ring in a container that has towels that are saturated with the lubricant for
assembly.
Time for sufficient drying must be available. Isopropyl alcohol needs at least ten minutes in
order to dry. Allow the isopropyl alcohol to dry prior to further assembly. You may need to
decrease the time that is needed for drying the isopropyl alcohol if there is not enough available
time. Use compressed air that is dry and filtered in order to dry the shaft seal ring. Do not use
more than 69 kPa (10.0 psi) in order to blow dry the shaft seal area.
Note: Do not use any liquid that leaves an oil film. Do not use any liquid that does not evaporate
quickly.
Acceptable Lubricants for Assembling the Retainer Seal Ring

Note: Do not use too much lubricant. Never permit the lubricant to contact shaft ramp (5) or rubber
toric ring (3) during assembly.
The following liquids are acceptable lubricants for assembly:
Isopropyl alcohol
Water that contains 15 PPM rust preventive can be used. Use this water with a hydraulic press
that is designed to install the retainer seal ring and the installation tool. A rate of travel that is
12.7 mm (.50 inch) per second with a maximum force of 1779 N (400 lb) is adequate to
assemble the retainer seal ring. The seal face should be wiped so that the seal face is clean
prior to further assembly. Use a lint free cloth to wipe the seal face.
Quaker Solvo Clean 68-0 or PF
Note: The shaft seal or any other toric ring should not be cleaned with Quaker Solvo Clean 68-0 or
PF.
Results of Incorrect Assembly
5/1/23, 4:00 PM SIS 2.0
Incorrect assembly
The slipping of the rubber toric ring on the shaft ramp or on the seal ring ramp may result in uneven
pressure on the seal face. Uneven pressure on the seal face causes galling, scoring and leakage.
Incorrect assembly
If the retainer seal ring is cocked during the assembly of the rubber toric ring, the rubber toric ring
will be cocked. A rubber toric ring that is cocked will oscillate as the ring is rotated. Seals that are
cocked may cause uneven pressure on the seal face. The uneven pressure on the seal face may
cause galling, scoring and leakage. Seals that oscillate may allow dirt into the seal joint. This is
caused by the pumping action that is created by the toric ring that is oscillating.
5/1/23, 4:00 PM SIS 2.0
Incorrect assembly
Illustration 25 shows a toric ring that is assembled incorrectly. The shaft and the lower rubber toric
ring is stationary. The retainer and the upper rubber toric ring are rotating. Note the positions of
points (A), (B), (X) and (Y).
Incorrect assembly
Illustration 26 shows the same rubber toric ring after the retainer seal ring and the shaft seal ring
have rotated 180 degrees. In this position, there will be high pressure at point (A) and at point (Y).
These points of high pressure may result in galling of the shaft seal ring and the retainer seal ring.
There will be low pressure at point (B) and at point (X) which will result in possible leakage.
