INSTALLATION
The Adapter can be installed between the selected motor and pump head
in just a few minutes. First, check the motor manufacturer’s specifications
to ensure that the motor meets the NEMA 56C or IEC 72 frame size 63,
IMB5 face mounting requirements. Then proceed with these steps:
(1) Mount the Motor Drive
■■ Select a site and mounting surface appropriate for the pumping
operations. Refer to the motor manufacturer’s instructions.
(2) Install the Shaft Adapter
■■ Figure 1 shows the proper alignment of all components:
Figure 1: Adapter components aligned with a drive motor and pump head.
■■ Mount the SHAFT ADAPTER fully onto the motor drive shaft.
■■ Tighten the two SET SCREWS. Use the Allen wrench provided. If
the motor shaft has a flat, be sure that one of the SET SCREWS is
tightened against it.
(3) Mount the Gasket
■■ Place the GASKET over the motor face, as shown in the drawing.
* Flow rates for L/S Standard, QUICK LOAD®, EASY-LOAD®, EASY-LOAD
II, and 3-roller cartridge pump heads. High performance pump head flow
rates will be slightly higher.
Be sure the Adapter to be installed will accommodate the intended range
of pumping applications.
(2) Select Motor
The specifications section shows motor speed capacities for individual
Adapters. Besides having the proper mounting face, the motor to be used
must not exceed the speeds indicated.
In no case will a motor H.P. greater than 1/4 be required for the pump
heads compatible with these Adapters.
Table 2 shows the volume per pump revolution for specific tubing numbers.
Use Tables 1 and 2 as guides in selecting the proper tubing for the required
flow rate.
Table 2
(3) Select a Compatible Pump Head
The Adapters are compatible with all L/S pump heads. Pump head selection is based primarily on required flow rates using a specific tubing (see
Tables 1 and 2).
