OFITE 120-147 Mag Drive
Product Information
Specifications
- Product: Mag Drive
- Part No.: #120-147
- Designed for: High-Temperature High-Pressure Consistometers
- Advantages: Prevents leakage, contamination, and heat from packing friction
- Operation: External magnets rotate internal magnets attached to the drive shaft
- Assembly: Outer magnet assembly and inner shaft assembly
Product Usage Instructions
Maintenance
Before performing any work on the Mag Drive, ensure the work area is clean and
free of metallic items.
Cleaning
- Remove the cover and gland from the bottom of the Mag Drive.
- Pull the slurry cup table and rotor assembly up through the opening.
- Clean all abrasive particles from the rotor assembly on a clean, flat, nonmagnetic surface.
- Flush the cell and housing with mineral oil, using a soft brush for inner cleaning.
- Thread the slurry cup table back onto the rotor shaft assembly.
- Pour a small amount of mineral oil into the cell to cushion the rotor assembly during insertion.
- Insert the rotor assembly into the Mag Drive housing, pressing down on the slurry cup table until it touches the top bearing.
Outer Drive Assembly
If disassembling the outer drive assembly:
- Remove top and bottom retainers only for flushing and cleaning to keep magnets in place.
- Do not attempt to install new magnets; send the drive magnet assembly back to OFITE for service.
Rotor Repair
If suspecting rotor bending:
- Mount the rotor in a lathe carefully.
- Turn the lathe slowly, and use an indicator to find and mark the high spots if bent.
- Straighten by tapping the high spot with a mallet and wood block.
- Repeat until the high spot is less than .005.
Bearing Maintenance
Inspect bearings every 750 hours of operation for damage and wear. Replace as
needed.

Q: When should I inspect the bearings?
A: Inspect the bearings for damage and wear them every 750 hours of operation and replace them as necessary.
Introduction
- The OFITE Mag Drive is designed for High-Temperature High-Pressure Con-seismometers. It has several advantages over traditional packed drives, such as preventing leakage, contamination, and heat from packing friction.
- The OFITE Mag Drive uses external magnets to rotate internal magnets that are attached to the drive shaft.
- The assembly consists of two parts: an outer magnet assembly and an inner shaft assembly.
Specifications
- Maximum Allowable Working Pressure: 40,000 psi (275.8 MPa)
- Maximum Temperature: 600°F (315°C)
Maintenance
Before performing any work on the Mag Drive, make sure the work area is clean and free of any metallic items.
Cleaning
Clean the Mag Drive once a week.
- Remove the cover and gland from the bottom of the Mag Drive.
- Pull the slurry cup table and rotor assembly up through the opening.
- Clean all abrasive particles from the rotor assembly. Lay the assembly on a clean, flat, nonmagnetic surface.
- Flush the cell and the Mag Drive housing with mineral oil. Use a soft brush to clean the inner portion of the Mag Drive.
- Thread the slurry cup table back onto the rotor shaft assembly.
- Pour a small amount of mineral oil into the cell. This will cushion the rotor assembly during insertion.
- Insert the rotor assembly into the Mag Drive housing. Press down on the slurry cup table until it touches the top bearing.
Outer Drive Assembly
- If it is necessary to disassemble the outer drive assembly, you can remove the top and bottom retainers only for flushing and cleaning. This will allow the magnets to stay in place in the outer holder.
- Do not attempt to install new magnets. If new magnets are required, we recommend you send the drive magnet assembly back to OFITE for service.
Rotor Repair
- The rotor can become bent if not handled carefully when it is out of the housing or during transport. If it is bad enough, it can cause the rotor to hit the housing during rotation.
- If you suspect the rotor is bent, use this procedure to verify and correct it:
- Carefully mount the rotor in a lathe.
- Turn the lathe slowly use an indicator to determine if the rotor is bent and find and mark the high spot.
- With the rotor still in the lathe, straighten it out by tapping the high spot using a mallet and wood block.
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the high spot is less than .005″.
Bearing Maintenance
We recommend inspecting the bearings for damage and wear every 750 hours of
operation. Replace as necessary.
