Burgmann Mechanical Seals Design Manual 1.http://chemtron-vostok.ru/media/craftsman-belt-sander-3x21-manual.xml 1 The recommendations in the media tables on pages to 2 are based on the typical case of a seal for a horizontal centrifugal pump. Other types of machine, installation conditions, modes of operation, designer s, manufacturer s and operator s specifications, local regulations and so on can result in a different choice of mechanical seal. For complex sealing duties it is always advisable for the user to consult with our specialist engineer. Where a material has several commonly used designations and common names, it is listed in accordance with IUPAC rules with cross-referencing of its other names. Designations are listed in alphabetical order.

When compiling these seal selections and material recommendations, it was generally assumed that the machine in question is located in a sheltered building frequented occasionally or continually by persons coming into contact with liquid or vapour leakage of medium from all types of sealing points. As such, considerations of health and environmental protection had a strong bearing on the choice of seal category. If no mention is made to either of the reasons 1 to for recommending a double mechanical seal or a single mechanical seal with quench, it is acceptable to use a single mechanical seal. The decision in favour of a single mechanical seal must be taken by the user of the machine or the contractor. As he is the only one to know all conditions and regulations relating to the process and to assess the risks. In its liquid, vapour or gas form, the medium attacks the skin, eyes or mucous membrane. Together with air, the medium forms gases, vapours or dusts capable of causing acute or chronic health disorders or death. With many industrial materials, skinresorption of substances capable of penetrating the skin with ease constitutes a far greater risk of poisoning than inhalation. Reactions of this type cannot be prevented with certainty, even when the threshold limit values are observed. Please notify us of your experiences. Media Burgmann Mechanical Seals Design Manual 1. No concentration values are given for this substance in the list because it is still impossible to quote any concentration as being safe. With some of these substances, there is even a great risk from absorption through healthy skin. If the use of such substances is unavoidable for technical reasons, special safety and monitoring measures must be taken.

As your eye traces the majestic bodylines, you see an imposing expression of power and a look of nimbleness. The beautifully contoured body produces an artistic interplay of light and shadow. Details such as sharply styled multi-reflector headlights further exhibit the BURGMAN 650’s originality and sophistication. Even the smart, clean arrangement of controls and instruments helps to assure ultimate comfort. Every detail is shaped and positioned to keep you relaxed and completely in control. They’re both lit whether you choose high beams or low. Sparkling LED position lights help to heighten visibility, On the BURGMAN 650 they’re exemplified by symmetry in the controls and instruments and by understated shapes and colors for everything the rider sees and touches. Big, easy-to-read analogue dials for the speedometer and tachometer flank a digital display that shows an odometer, twin trip meters, a fuel consumption meter, a fuel meter, a coolant temperature indicator, a thermometer, a clock, an oil level indicator, an oil change indicator, a drive mode indicator (for drive mode and power mode), and a gear position indicator (for manual mode). A liquid-cooled 638cm 3 engine offers all the power you need. Computerized fuel injection, a Pulsed-secondary AIR-injection (PAIR) system, and an O 2 feedback system with catalyzer boost fuel efficiency and minimize emissions. Refined transmission setting and reduced mechanical losses contribute to boost fuel economy even more. Meanwhile, superlative control comes from a Suzuki Electronically-controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (SECVT). By just toggling buttons on the handlebars, you can choose three distinct transmission modes: two fully automatic modes (Drive and Power) and Manual. Drive mode heightens efficiency at normal road speeds and gives smooth, linear, almost shock-free power delivery for easy riding. And Manual mode lets you thumb-toggle between six preset gear ratios for a unique feeling of control. The frame inherits the long, 1585mm wheelbase of earlier Burgmans for a sporty, controllable ride and has a slimmer tail section for sleeker, sportier bodywork. Plenty of wheel travel (110mm at the front and 100mm at the rear) helps to keep the ride smooth. Fuel consumption may vary depending on traffic conditions, such as the frequency of starts from stop, distance driven, rate of acceleration (throttle use), chosen speed, and maintenance. A cavernous, 50-litre underseat compartment can hold two full-face helmets and has a light for nighttime convenience. A cable lock allows you to secure a helmet outside the compartment to make space for luggage inside. Three compartments below the handlebars provide space for maps and other items you might need on the road. One contains a DC outlet that’s ideal for charging a mobile telephone. It’s electrically adjustable to suit the rider’s height. For convenience in tight parking spaces, the rearview mirrors can be retracted electrically at the touch of a button. The rider’s backrest can be adjusted forward and backward by 50mm for optimal support. No tools are necessary. Please drive carefully and do not overly rely on ABS. So cold winter days are no reason to feel less than comfortable when you’re riding the most luxurious scooter on the road. The front brakes have an advanced design with floating discs for more consistent braking performance. The handlebar grips incorporate electric heaters that can be controlled by the rider - a welcome source of warmth when temperatures drop below comfortable. Plus, the ignition switch is protected by a magnetic cover that opens only for the owner’s key. The lever has a stylish design that makes it easier to reach and operate. As a “maxi-scoot,” the Executive delivers a motorcycle-like riding experience with amped up scooter features that give it something of an exaggerated look, so clearly, this is a vehicle of extremes. Suzuki carries over its Burgman 650 Executive with a new color for MY2018, so let’s check this ride out and then see how it stacks up against one of the top office-scooters to come out of Europe. Of course, that structure quickly surrenders to the footwell and partially blocked step-through before fattening up once again up top to contain the instrumentation, storage cubbies and the first bits of luxe gear. Not only does the windscreen come with push-button adjustability, but the mirrors can also be folded in with the same convenience. Gotta ’ say that last is a bit unexpected, but I can definitely see the benefits thereof, especially given the 31.9-inch overall width; better to fold ’em in than smack ’em trying to filter or negotiate a cramped parking space. A fore-and-aft adjustable lumbar pad supports the rider, and in a rarity for scooters, the wide pillion pad comes with a built-in backrest that probably won’t actually provide much support, but will most definitely give your passenger some extra security and peace of mind. The factory provides a cable lock for external helmet storage to free up the underseat area for other cargo. There aren’t many variations this year, but the white double stitching on the seat adds a nice little bit of contrast that really makes the saddle pop, and the brake levers come in black to match the rest of the controls and dash area. Overall, the Executive carries itself with a certain amount of class and maturity that is hard to beat and sure to appeal to young professionals and business commuters alike. That’s right; I said “swingarm,” not swing-mount, so that pushes the Burgman toward the edge of the envelope as far as my definition of a scooter is concerned. Dual coil-over shocks spring off the swingarm with motorcycle-style telescopic front forks to buoy the front. Dual hydraulic disc brakes haul down the front wheel, and I doubt Suzuki even entertained the notion of running an antiquated drum brake on this ride.The four-stroke parallel-twin mill uses dual over-head cams to time the poppets and electronic fuel injection to meter the fuel with feedback from a hot-O2 sensor in the exhaust to keep the air-fuel mixture on point. A secondary air injector helps burn off any remaining free hydrocarbons to help the plant meet emissions standards. Yeah, it’s also got a couple of counterbalancers to tame the vibrations before they can escape the engine cases and put your hands and butt asleep, and the value of that is impossible to overstate. So far, the drivetrain is fairly unremarkable, but all that changes at the transmission. There’s a couple of fully automatic modes; Drive and Power. Drive mode delivers normal, smooth operation with a linear acceleration curve, and the Power mode delivers a bit more mustard when you twist the throttle. On top of all that yummygoodness, the factory chucks on a rocker-button-actuated manual shifter that comes with six preset ratios for a more motorcycle-like riding experience. That’s sure to appeal to riders looking for a little lagniappe from their maxi-scoot. Coverage extension and additional benefits are available. Luckily for me, BMW was my Huckleberry with its C 650 GT. Looks-wise, the GT is actually even more mature and businesslike than the Burgman, and that’s no mean feat. It’s clear that both manufacturers are on point with the fit-and-finish, and as a matter of taste, I gotta’ say I really like the GT, but my tastes ain’t your tastes, and yours is the one that matters at the end of the day. Beemer supports the GT on a set of 40 mm, usd front forks with a one-side swingarm and laid-over shock out back. It also sports 270 mm discs all around with dual brakes up front and ABS to match the Burgman. Suzuki really did a good job, as always, with the Burgman, and this ride really pushes scootering close to what surely must be the logical max for the genre. This ain’t your grand-dad’s scooter, not by a long shot.” It’s very maneuverable at low-speeds and with the center of gravity so low, it’s as easy to handle as a much smaller scooter. Even though the Burgman 650 is a large machine, you don’t get that feeling of heft. If I were to say anything negative about it, it would have to be that it doesn’t handle bumps in the road very well. It’s a dream on smooth pavement, but bumpy roads and speed bumps are not your friend.” Coverage extension and additional benefits are available. That planted a seed that grew into a well-rounded appreciation of all things mechanical, and eventually, into a formal education of same.
