iii. Critical Startup Checklist

Gearbox Servicing: Fill gearbox within 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) from top of oil level sight glass with lube oil which conforms to the specification in Table 6.1. Where applicable, operate auxiliary lube gearbox to fill heat exchanger and filter. Add oil as necessary through fill fitting until oil level stabilizes in sight glass. The gearbox alone requires approximately six U.S. quarts (5.7 liters).

Heat Exchanger If a heat exchanger for the gearbox is installed, adjust the cooling flow to keep the temperature of the oil to the bearings at 120°-140°F (49°-60°C). Auxiliary Lube Pump If you have an auxiliary lubrication pump, unlock the electrical circuit and start it in the “hand” position. Check for oil leaks and recheck the oil level. Piping Connections Are the following bolted/threaded connections tight: a. Cooling water connections to heat exchanger? (if applicable) b. Gearbox oil drain plug?


1. Lubricating Oil System

Remote skid mounted systems

The oil used in Sundyne gearboxes must meet the specifications presented in Gearbox Lubricant Recommendations (see following page). In general, an ISO viscosity grade 46 oil will meet these specifications. Before using any oil, you should verify its properties by consulting its manufacturer. Failure to use the proper gearbox lubricant will void the warranty. No other additives are recommended.


Bulletin No. 40.2.04

Sundyne & Sunflo Gearbox Lubricant Recommendations

EFFECTIVE : JUNE 2004 Rev: D

For years the preferred gearbox lubricant for Sundyne pumps and compressors has been automotive automatic transmission fluid (ATF). However, over time the additives in automatic transmission fluid have changed to coincide with the technical improvements in automobile transmissions. The additives in the new formulations of ATF, such as Dexron III, have been found to have negative effects on Sundyne gearboxes and could compromise mechanical integrity and reliability of the equipment. ISO Viscosity Grade 32 or 46 general purpose or synthetic oils are the recommended lubricants for Sundyne gearboxes as shown in Table 1 below. ISO VG 46 lubricants are now recommended for high horsepower gearbox models 33X and 34X with spherical roller bearings and high ambient temperature installations. Gearbox lube oil should be changed twice yearly or more frequently in severe environments which may be detrimental to the lubricant. Oxidized oil is frequently characterized by a darkening and/or thickening of the oil. Operating of gearboxes with oxidized lubricant should be avoided. Synthetic oils possess different characteristics than conventional mineral oils which make them desirable for various extreme conditions such as high and low temperature operation. Synthetic oils offer very low pour points, high temperature oxidation stability and a higher viscosity index. The operation of Sundyne equipment in high or low ambient conditions may require special consideration of gearbox lubricant and/or supplemental protective equipment such as heat exchangers or gearbox heaters. The lubricant chosen must be compatible with gearbox elastomers, Viton and Buna N. Any oil that contains an inert additive such as PTFE, molybdenum disulfide or silicon should not be used in Sundyne gearboxes. Use of lubricants containing inert additives will void the product warranty. Table 1: Use ISO Viscosity Grade 32 Lubricant ** Use ISO Viscosity Grade 46 Lubricant

2. Startup

Refer also to the Critical Startup Checklist in this manual.

Step 1 Prime the lubricating system, as follows:

All LMG-4 units require an auxiliary lubrication pump for start-up • Fill the oil reservoir with lubricating oil in accordance with Gearbox Lubricant Recommendations,

Field Engineering Bulletin 40.2.04 • Add oil as necessary through the fill opening (see tagging information on the LMG-4 gearbox)

until the oil level stabilizes at the top of the bull’s eye in the sight glass • Start the auxiliary lubricating pump, and run it until the oil reaches the correct pressure and

temperature. Add oil as necessary until the oil level stabilizes 3/4 of the way from the bottom of the gearbox oil level sight glass.

Step 2 Turn on the cooling water to the lubrication system heat exchanger.

Step 3 Adjust cooling water supply to heat exchanger so that oil temperature to the bearings stabilizes at

120ºF (49ºC) with ISO-32 oil or 120-140ºF (49-60ºC) with ISO-46 oil.

3. Servicing

Regular Maintenance Gearbox Oil: Check the level of the oil in the gearbox immediately before and after initial start-up, and regularly while the pump is running. Be sure to keep the level of the oil at the top of the “bulls eye” in the sight glass.

You can add oil while the pump is running (see-tagging information on the LMG-4 gearbox for where to add oil during operation).

Failure to add oil through the correct port on the LMG-4 gearbox will cause blow back of the lubricant, possibly causing injury to the operator.

DO NOT OVER FILL THE GEARBOX. This can cause damage to the internal components. Oil Pressure: The correct oil pressure from the main pump of the gearbox depends on the configuration of the bearings and the characteristics of the lubricating oil used. In the normal operation, the oil pressure supplied to the gearbox should be between 25-60 psig (172-414 kPa). Recommended limits are 20 psig (138 kPa) decreasing alarm and 15 psig (103 kPa) decreasing shutdown. Changing the Gearbox Oil and Filter: Change the oil in the reservoir and the oil filter elements every 6 months. SFHC recommended synthetics may go for a longer period of time before an oil change is required. Anti-Friction Bearings: Roller bearings on the low speed shaft should be replaced at any of the following times: after ten years, or if there appears to be unusual wear, or the bearings are assessed as damaged.


4. Gearbox Disassembly Note: In order to disassemble gearbox it is necessary to complete steps 1 through 18 of the Process End Disassembly.

Step 1 If you have not drained the oil from the gearbox you should do so now. Remove hex head cap screws (905E) and lock washers (916A) from the gearbox seal (60C) flange.

Step 2 Remove gearbox seal (60C).

It is helpful to use a small flat blade screw driver to lift the seal flange up from the aluminum gearbox face, being careful not to hit the I.D. of the seal face against the high speed shaft (A130 ASSY).


Step 3 Carefully inspect the seal for abrasive particles or excessive seal face wear and any binding of the carbon seal nose. Replace or rebuild any faulty mechanical seal. Seals may be rebuilt by replacing the carbon seal nose, o-ring, and spring providing the retainer is not damaged or heavily worn. Replace the seal flange o-ring (936P). A seal repair kit may be available; contact your customer representative or the factory.

Step 4 Remove o-ring (936K).

Step 5 Remove rotating face (51D).

Use two small flat blade screw drivers to help lift rotating face out of pocket in the gearbox taking care not to damage the gearbox seal o-ring chamfer at the I.D. of the rotating face (51D). Inspect the rotating face for any cracks, chips, or grooves. If any cracks or chips are present replace the rotating face. Replace or lap the seal rotating face if the wear track is rough or worn to a depth greater than .0002 inch (.0051 mm).


Step 6 Rotate gearbox in holding device so that the input shaft (A120 ASSY) is now pointing up. Make certain that the gearbox is steady and held in place by clamps. Remove nuts (914F) and (914E), remove flat washers (916J) and (916H). Next remove the 2 alignment bolts (909C) and 7 holding bolts (909B), and flat washers (916H) and (916J) making sure that the alignment bolts are removed first.

Step 7 Remove the four round hex head socket screws (included with item 115) located on the top of the input seal (115).

Failure to remove these screws and input seal drive lock collar will result in damage to either the input seal (115) and/or the input shaft (A120 ASSY).


Step 8 Gently pry input seal drive lock collar (included with item 115) located on the top of the input seal (115) to remove.

Step 9 Remove Inlet Housing Install two 5/8” eye bolts into the top of the upper gearbox housing (101B). Use a hoist to lift the upper gearbox housing (101B) away from the other gearbox housings.

At the start of lifting of the upper gearbox housing, gently tap the input shaft if necessary to free it from the upper housing.


Step 9 Continued

It is a good idea to look into the upper gearbox housing (101B) and verify that the idler shaft assembly (A140 ASSY) is free of upper gearbox housing. If it is not free, loosen the shaft by hand before lifting the upper gearbox further.

Step 10 After the mechanic rests the upper gearbox housing (101B) on a bench or table remove the input seal (115) from the upper gearbox housing (101B). Inspect seal. If it was leaking or is damaged replace input seal (115) with a new item.


Step 11 Remove Input Shaft AssemblyTo accomplish this the mechanic must first lift up the idler shaft assembly (A140 ASSY) and tilt it away from the input shaft assembly (A120 ASSY).

Step 11 Continued The mechanic should install a lifting eye to the input shaft assembly (A120 ASSY) and lift straight up and away from the bearing plate (102). Note: The top of the input shaft includes 3/8-16 UNC threads to install a lifting eye.


Step 12 Lube Pump Removal If it is necessary to remove the lube pump follow steps 12-14. Otherwise skip ahead to step 15. It is necessary to remove the sump tube assembly before removing the lube pump. Loosen the tube-fitting nut and remove sump tube TU03AW03 or TU03AW04.

Step 12 Continued Remove the tube fitting and nipple from the bearing plate.


Step 13 Remove the 2 socket head cap screws (905BU), 10-24 x 2.5” long screws, from the lube pump assembly (A160 ASSY). There are two screws that hold the lube pump in place and two screws that hold the lube pump together. If by chance when removing (905BU) you loosen the shorter screws, replace immediately and move to the next screw on the lube pump assembly (A160 ASSY).

Step 14 Install two 1/4”-20 screws into the top of the lube pump assembly (A160 ASSY). These screws are used to pull the lube pump assembly (A160 ASSY) out of the bearing plate (102).


Step 14 Continued Remove the lube pump assembly (A160 ASSY) from the bearing plate (102). Step 15 Remove the pressure relief valve (175) from the top of the bearing plate (102). (Pictured in the lower right corner of the photograph). Inspect the pressure relief valve (175) for any foreign matter. If any particles or sludge is found replace with a new pressure relief valve (175). Remove 1/2” NPT pipe plug (924M) from the top of the Bearing plate (102). Remove o-rings (936T) and (936Y), from the lower bearing plate (102) and replace with new items (936T) and (936Y) during reassembly.

Step 16 Remove the bearing plate (102) from the lower gearbox housing (101A). Make certain you use the 5/8” eyebolts to lift evenly and slowly.

It is a good idea to use a hoist with equal length chains and hooks to facilitate an even lift of the bearing plate (102). If the bearing plate (102) is not lifted evenly it will catch the upper high speed journal bearing (151B) on the high speed shaft (A130 ASSY) and possibly damage the shaft or the bearing.


Step 17 Move the bearing plate to a workbench or table. Remove and inspect the upper high speed journal bearing (151B) and the upper thrust washer (155B) from the bearing plate (102). First remove the 3 hex head cap screws (905N) and lock washers (154E). Next pull the high speed journal bearing (151B) from the bearing plate (102). Save shim (158). Inspect the bearing for rub marks or uneven wear marks. If the bearing has scratches or dings or any unusual wear replace the upper high speed journal bearing with a new item (151B). If the upper high speed journal bearing checks good, tag the bearing as upper high speed journal bearing (151B). This will help insure it does not become mixed up with the lower high speed journal bearing (151A). Inspect the thrust washer (155B). If there are any burns or rubs replace the thrust washer (155B).


Step 18 Remove idler shaft (A140 ASSY). To do this the mechanic must lift the high speed shaft (A130 ASSY) slightly while pulling the idler shaft (A140 ASSY) up and away from the high speed shaft (A130 ASSY).

Step 19 Remove the high speed shaft (A130 ASSY).


Step 20 Remove Lower Idler Bearing Remove the 2 socket head cap screws (905AB) from lower idler journal bearing (151D). Remove the lower idler journal bearing (151D). Use bearing puller tool TK01AW02 available from Sundyne. Thread two 1/4”-20 screws through the tool into the top of the lower idler journal bearing (151D). Thread the bearing puller into the lower idler journal-bearing cavity and pull (jack) the lower idler journal bearing (151D) out of its location. Inspect the lower idler journal bearing (151D) for any unusual wear, rubs, scratches, or burns. If any abnormalities are found replace the lower idler journal bearing (151D) with a new item.

Step 21 Remove Upper Idler Bearing Remove socket head cap screws (905AA) from the upper idler journal bearing (151C) located in the upper gearbox housing (101B). Remove the upper idler journal bearing (151D) following the same procedure as step 20 above. Use bearing puller tool TK01AW02 available from Sundyne. Thread two 1/4”-20 screws through the tool into the top of the upper idler journal bearing (151D). Thread the bearing puller into the upper idler journal-bearing cavity and pull (jack) the upper idler journal bearing (151D) out of its location. Inspect the upper idler journal bearing (151D) for any unusual wear, rubs, scratches, or burns. If any abnormalities are found replace the lower upper journal bearing (151D) with a new item.


Step 22 Remove Lower High Speed Bearing Remove socket head cap screws (905M) and lock washers (154D) from lower high speed journal bearing (151A). The standard lower high speed bearing (151A) is an integral plain journal / deflection pad thrust bearing.

Step 23 Remove the lower high speed journal bearing (151A) by pulling it straight up and out of the lower housing. Inspect the journal bearing and thrust pads for any rubs, unusual wear marks or scratches. If anything appears abnormal replace the bearing (151A) with a new item. If the bearing checks out good then tag bearing as lower high speed journal bearing (151A), so it does not become mixed up with the upper high speed journal bearing (151B). Step 24 Remove the oil filter (185). Step 25 Remove o-rings (936T), (936T), and (936Y), from the lower gearbox housing (101A) and replace with new items (936T), (936T), and (936Y) during reassembly.


5. Inspection of Disassembled Hardware Step 1 Clean and wash all gearbox housings (101B), (102), and (101A) with solvent and blow

dry with clean high pressure air. Step 2 Make certain to flush out all lube passages and blow-dry with clean high-pressure air.

Check all lube passages with a flashlight to verify cleanliness. Step 3 Inspect all bearing locations for critical size requirements (see Table 5.1). If any

dimensions are found to be out of tolerance replace that housing. Step 4 Inspect all bearings for damage. If any damage is found replace the bearings with new

items. Step 5 Inspect all shaft bearing surfaces for scratches, burns, dents, or dings. If bearing

surfaces on shafts are burned and/or scored the shaft should be replaced. Scratches, nicks, or dings on shafting should be lightly stoned and polished to remove high spots.

Step 6 Check shaft runnouts for trueness. Replace shaft if it is bent. Step 7 Inspect all shafts with gears. If gears are missing teeth, or are burned, replace gear or

integral gear shaft as required. If gears show abnormal wear patterns, or have nicks and dings on the gear teeth, lightly stone or hone and polish nicks and dings from gear teeth. If abnormal wear pattern is evident this could indicate a bent shaft.

Step 8 Inspect the bearing thrust faces on the idler shaft (A140 ASSY). If thrust faces are burned

or scored, replace the shaft. Check the thrust surface on the lower spur gear for abnormalities, replace as necessary.

Step 9 Inspect the thrust face on the idler spur gear, which is pressed onto the idler shaft (A140

ASSY). If the thrust face on this gear is burned or scored replace this gear. If there are nicks or dings in the thrust face lightly stone or hone and polish these areas back to the original surface.

Step 10 Inspect the internal lube pump (A160 ASSY) o-ring seal groove. If there are any nicks or

dings in this area polish or hone them back to the original surface. If this cannot be accomplished replace the lube pump (A160 ASSY). If your gearbox had a catastrophic lube failure due to the lube pump (A160 ASSY) you should replace the lube pump as a complete assembly.

Step 11 Inspect the gearbox seal (60C). If the carbon seal nose is nicked, scratched, or dinged,

disassemble the seal and try to lap the seal nose back into tolerance. The flatness specification is two light bands or .00002” (.00051 mm) flatness minimum. If this cannot be achieved replace the carbon seal nose. Check the constant force spring inside the seal retainer. If it is cracked, bent or deformed other than the cone shape, it should be replaced. Contact your customer service representative for part numbers on this seal.


Step 12 Inspect all rotating faces in your unit (process and gearbox). If rotating faces are nicked, cracked, or have wear rings from seal contact replace them with new hardware. Check the flatness of the rotating faces to factory specifications. Flatness is specified at two light bands or .00002” (.00051 mm) flatness. (The flatness specification does not apply to wavy face type rotating faces.) The gearbox seal rotating face (51D) is to have a matte finish, specified as 10-15 Ra micro finish, while still maintaining the flatness of .00002” (.00051 mm) or two light bands.

Step 13 Inspect the high speed shaft shoulder where the gearbox seal rotating face locates.

Check for nicks or dings, and raised surfaces on this shoulder. If any abnormalities are found, the shoulder will need to be relapped to factory specification of two light bands flatness or .00002” (.00051 mm). If this specification cannot be met replace the high speed shaft (A130 ASSY).

Step 14 Inspect the high speed shaft (A130 ASSY) thrust surfaces. If these show abnormal wear,

burns, gouges, deep circular scratches or wear patterns, replace the high speed shaft (A130 ASSY) with a new assembly.

Step 15 Lubricate all other parts thoroughly with light turbine oil.

6. High Speed Shaft End Play If a new high speed shaft assembly (A130 ASSY), lower gearbox housing (101A), upper or lower high speed journal bearing (151A or 151B), or thrust washers (155A or 155B) are installed, the high speed shaft end play must be measured and reset.

NOTE:For accurate checking of shaft end play, all parts must be dry and free of oil. Step 1 Install the lower high speed journal bearing (151A) into the lower gearbox housing

(101A). Install the hex head cap screws (905M) and the lock washers (154D). Tighten screws (905M) to the specified torque per table 6.1.

Step 2 Install the upper high speed journal bearing (151B) into the bearing plate (102). Install the

hex head cap screws (905N) and lock washers (154E) and tighten to the specified torque per table 6.1.


Step 3 Place both thrust washers (155A and 155B) into lower high speed journal bearing. Install the high speed shaft assembly (A130 ASSY) into the lower gearbox housing (101A) through the lower high speed shaft journal bearing (151A).

Step 4 With the aid of two large diameter alignment bolts (909C), install the bearing plate (102)

without the o-rings (936T), (936T) and (936Y). Clamp the bearing plate (102) and the lower gearbox housing (101A) together with two “C” clamps or bolts.

Step 5 With the shaft in a vertical position, move the shaft up and down while measuring the

total end play with a dial indicator or depth micrometer. Shaft end play must be .015 +/-.002 inch (.38+/- .05 mm). If end play is not within this limit, calculate the shim thickness required to place the shaft within the proper end play. Select the required thickness shim using (158) series shim spacer sizes.

Step 6 Remove the alignment bolts (909C) and the “C” clamps from the bearing plate (102) and

lower gearbox housing (101A). Now remove the bearing plate (102). Step 7 Remove the upper high speed journal bearing (151B) from the bearing plate (102). Step 8 Place the required shim thickness (158) over the upper high speed journal bearing

(151B) and reinstall per step 2. Step 9 Repeat steps 3 through 5, and verify high speed shaft (A130 ASSY) end play. When end

play is within factory specification, repeat step 6. Step 10 Remove the high speed shaft (A130 ASSY) and the thrust washers (155A and 155B). Step 11 Install thrust washer (155A) into lower high speed shaft journal bearing (151A) and install

thrust washer (155B) into the upper high speed journal bearing (151B) with the flat side (no grooves) of each thrust washer towards the high speed journal bearing.

Step 12 Lubricate the upper and lower thrust washers (155A and 155B) with light turbine oil and

install the high speed shaft (A130 ASSY) into and through the lower high speed journal bearing.

Step 13 Begin gearbox reassembly. Refer to the Gearbox and Process End Reassembly

Procedure. Step 14 Lubricate all assembled parts with light turbine oil as your mechanic proceeds with the

assembly.

gearbox/process end into the pump housing (1). Step 33 Reconnect all lubrication lines and electrical connections. GEARBOX OVERHAUL

1. GENERAL

A. The main lube oil pump is driven directly from the input shaft The pump is non-reversible and rated at 15 gpm at 3600 rpm and 12.5 gpm at 2960 rpm.

B. The high-speed bearings supporting the output shaft are supplied in various configurations

Be sure the correct bearing part number is used in the correct location (refer to the parts list).

C. Carefully inspect gearbox components for excessive wear, corrosion, or signs of

overheating. Refer to Figure 28 for bearing fits and clearances If the gearbox has suffered major damage, it may be less expensive to exchange the gearbox rather than proceed with an overhaul. For details on the exchange gearbox program, please contact your local Sundstrand Fluid Handling representative. If there is a question regarding the deterioration of any of the components, please contact Sundyne field service.

D. If particulate matter is found in the gearbox, it will be necessary to flush internal lube

passages and the external lube system. To flush the internal lube passages, remove the lube orifices (174A, B) which supply oil to each roller bearing. The lube orifices have a 0.044 inch diameter orifice hole. Be sure it is not clogged. Also, remove the internal pressure relief valve (175) from the bearing plate. Flush the oil passages and clean the housings


2. GEARBOX INTERNAL REPAIR

A. In general, most gearbox repairs will be limited to replacing badly worn or failed components Refer to Figure 28 for bearing and shaft clearances.

B. Gearbox housing roller bearing steel liners are not intended to be replaced in the field. They

are bored on location in each housing and then staked.

C. If further information is required to evaluate components, contact Sundyne field service. Training aids are available.

3. GEARBOX REASSEMBLY

A. Before beginning the reassembly, check to be sure the gearbox housings have been cleaned and the internal oil passages flushed if needed.

A. Check to be sure any replacement parts needed are of the correct part number for the

position in which the part will be used. Refer to the parts list for the specific gearbox being worked on.

C. Roller bearings on the input (A120) shaft assembly should be changed after five years in

service. During a field overhaul, a judgement is required to determine if the roller bearings should be replaced. The nature of the overhaul and the length of time the gearbox has been in service are major factors. Should you elect to change bearings a hydraulic press and an oil bath type of bearing heater will be required. The roller bearings are held on the shaft with a light shrink fit. The gears have a moderate shrink fit and are driven by a key. If a bearing puller is lacking a gear may have to be removed along with a roller bearing in order to facilitate the bearing removal. Do not heat the gears or bearings above 350º F for more than two hours during reassembly.

D. The output shaft assembly (Al30) is dynamically balanced and usually does not require dis-

assembly. Inspect for damage to the bearing journals and thrust runners, discoloration from overheating, and even contact on the gear teeth.

E. Reassembly will be the reverse of the disassembly procedures with the exception of setting

the output shaft (A130) position and axial end float 4. OUTPUT SHAFT SHIM ADJUSTMENTS

A If any major components (Output shaft assembly, high speed bearings. or gearbox housings) have been replaced, readjustment of the bearing shims (158) may be required.

B. Refer to Figure 10.1. Shims (158) are used under the upper high speed bearing assembly

(151A& B). The shims are adjusted to achieve proper axial float (endplay). Both must be checked with the output shaft thrust toward the impeller. The adjustments are made with dry bearings. Oil under the thrust surfaces will produce inaccurate readings


C. A suggested procedure for shimming follows:

(1) Install bearings (151 A & B) without shims in the output housing and bearing plate. (2) Place the output housing on a raised surface (open side up) with room for the output

shaft to project through. (3) Install the output shaft (A130) in the output housing bearing. (4) Install the bearing plate using caution not to damage the thrust washer (155B). Tempo-

rarily leave out the idler shaft assembly (A140), gearbox gasket (105) and o-ring (936T) from the gearbox split line. Install the two alignment bolts (909C). Do not install the gearbox input housing. Using short bolts or “C” clamps. Clamp the bearing plate to the lower housing to assure a metal-to-metal fit between the faces

(5) Turn the assembly over with the output shaft extended up. Install a dial indicator in a

position of your convenience (inside or outside gearbox) and measure shaft axial float. From the total float reading subtract 0.015 inch (.38mm) which is the desired end float. The remaining amount should be the required thickness for the shim under bearing (151B).

(6) Shims (158) are normally supplied in 0.005 inch (.127mm) and .010 inch ( 25.4mm)

thickness. Select the proper thickness shims that best obtain the shaft end float dimension.

NOTE Axial float should be 0.015 ± .002 inches (.38 mm). ± (.05 mm) It is preferred to have

slightly excess end float as opposed to having too little. (7) Install the shims and recheck the endplay. Repeat the procedure if necessary. (8) After proper shimming. complete the reassembly of the gearbox as a reverse of the

disassembly procedures
