Frequently asked questions

Question: Do we need to glue the belly seals?

Answer: No, you don't. The seal has 2 small protrusions which interlock with 2 indentations in the groove of the body. This form-fit allows you to install the seal without glue and guarantees a perfect placement.

Question: When should the belly seals be replaced?

Answer: Replacing the belly seals is depending on the amount of active running hours. We recommend changing them during every service cycle with, at the minimum, a change every 12 months.

Question: Can I get a different belly seal, other than the current silicone version?

Answer: No, we only have the silicone (static and inflatable) belly seals execution.

Question: Can I replace seals with access to only 1 of the 2 covers while still being in the system?

Answer: No, you need to remove the bearing cover and arrow assembly from both sides.

Question: Can we change the seals from static to inflatable seal?

Answer: If you have ordered a PTD with the option "inflatable seal ready" you can upgrade the PTD with an upgrade kit to a version with inflatable seals. Please contact our aftersales department for more information.

Question: Are there any recommended spare parts for PTD's?

Answer: Yes, our PTD has several parts we classified as Recommended Spare Parts. We recommend you have these on stock to be used during every service & maintenance cycle. Do you need Spare Parts for your PTD? Please contact our aftersales department.

Question: Can the position sensors be installed on the other side of the PTD?

Answer: Yes, the end covers have threaded holes on either side allowing for a quick switch of the position sensors. For more information please refer to the manual (chapter 10.4.2.7 RELOCATE POSITION SENSOR).
