5. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Geislinger damper is a spring coupled torsional vibration damper with an internal hydraulic
damping system
Radial arranged leaf springs (1) transmit the elastic torque from the damper inner member to the
damper outer member. The torsional vibrations are damped concurrently by oil displacement from
one chamber (A,B) into the adjoining one.
The leaf springs (item 1) are clamped at their outer ends between the intermediate pieces (item 2)
due to a press fitted clamping ring (item 3). The inner ends of the spring packs (item 1) reach into
axial grooves of the inner star (item 9) such engaging the inner and outer member of the coupling.
The chambers A and B which are formed by the intermediate pieces (item 2) and the spring packs
(item 1) are filled with oil. If a torque twists the outer and inner member against each other the spring
packs will be deflected. This changes the volume of the oil chambers (A,B) and the oil will be
displaced from one chamber into the adjoining one through narrow gaps. The oil flow resistance
retards the relative movements of the two coupling members and dampens the vibration amplitudes.
Both plates (5,7) of the damper outer member and the sealings inserted therein hold the oil so that
the oil pressure which is to be used can build-up.

400104EN.DOC INITIATION
8. INITIATION
Check before first trial run
Use the pre-lubrication pump to supply the damper with pressure oil until oil escapes from the
venting holes. For position and number of venting holes see assembly drawing.
ATTENTION !
If no oil escapes from one or more venting holes, execute the instructions as stated in chapter 13.2.
Most dampers have tapped holes on flange or lateral plate to mount a pressure gauge onto the
damper. There the oil pressure can be measured at the standstill of the engine.

ATTENTION !
An excess of 30% of the stated circularity value is still permissible, if no unbalance problems arise
from that. Exceeding this limit requires remounting and correction to obtain better values.
Remove damper main bolts (750)
Exchange disc springs (810) and clean the appropriate seat-engaging surfaces. All seat-
engaging surfaces must be dry and free of grease (oil))
Apply enough LOCTITE (type see assembly drwg.) onto both sides of the disk springs (810)
and mount the damper main bolts (750)
Check the concentricity settings as stated on the assembly drawing again. (Repeat the
assembly of the damper outer member again if the permissible concentricity values are
exceeded.

12. INSPECTION
If an inspection should show that more than 50% of the wear limits have been
consumed within one inspection interval only, the following inspection interval is to
be reduced in time by assuming a linear wear rate
NOTE
Regular inspection and supervision of the damper allows for advanced planning and
the ordering of spare parts in time !

All specified values for the oil supply of the damper are valid immediately before entry of the oil into
the damper. (Connection of the damper to the customer part)
WARNING!
If the following operating conditions are not specified either on the assembly drawing or in
the operating instructions, please consult Geislinger.
If no oil pressure (combined with the oil flow rate) is specified, then the damper must be supplied with
a required oil pressure of at least 2.5 bar overpressure (3.5 bar absolute).
WARNING !
If the specified required oil pressure is not achieved, please consult Geislinger.
WARNING !
If the damper is supplied with a higher oil pressure than the specified required oil pressure, then the
oil flow rate increases accordingly.

drawing
TABLE OF CONTENTS
3. ASSEMBLY 6
4. AFTER ASSEMBLY 7
5. RE-USE 8
Before handling the threaded parts using the assembly tools, the contact surfaces must be cleaned
carefully and thoroughly.
the screws on the head support and on the thread see Figure 1
the nuts (if present) on both support surfaces and on the thread see Figure 2
both sides of the washers see Figure 3
the threaded holes (if present) see Figure 4
and the contact surfaces on the parts being connected see Figure 5
Fig. 4 Fig. 5
Oxide layers
If the contact surfaces have oxidised, first carefully remove the oxide layers mechanically, for
example using a wire brush.
After removing the oxide layers (if present), all contact surfaces must be cleaned and degreased
thoroughly.
Isoparaffin or acetone can be used as agents for cleaning and degreasing.
If Loctite is used being for the assembly, degreased, cleaned contact surfaces must not
afterwards be touched with bare hands.
If dirty or if coming into contact with grease from hands, the relevant contact surfaces
must be cleaned again!
Before applying the assembly aids, the contact surfaces must be dried thoroughly!
Loctite products should always be used within the processing time specified by Loctite.
These processing times can be found in the instructions for use for the relevant Loctite products
being used. Do not exceed the maximum processing times permitted! Try and keep the processing
times as short as possible.
Read first!
Before applying the assembly aid, the bearing threaded length "X" (see diagram) should be
calculated for the parts being screwed together. This threaded length should then be wetted with the
assembly aid across the entire area. In terms of the quantity, use only so much that only small
quantities of excess assembly aid overflows after assembly.
A test assembly is recommended to be able to estimate the amount required.
With sealing unions in particular, ensure that the threaded gap is completely filled with sealant. For
thread size M16 and over, the threaded hole or the nut thread should also normally be coated with
the assembly aid.
X X X

+ or
When using the assembly aids under washers or screw heads, wet the surface so that after the
assembly process is complete for the screw, the contact surfaces (see diagram) is completely
covered with the assembly aid.
When using on washers, apply to both the front and the back.
In terms of the quantity, use only so much that only small quantities of excess assembly aid
overflows after assembly.
A test assembly is recommended to be able to estimate the amount required.
900900EN.DOC ASSEMBLY
3. ASSEMBLY
The screws should only be tightened at the torques and in accordance with the guidelines given on
the assembly diagram.
Note on washers
Spring washers and sometimes NORD-LOCK are normally only used as washers for securing
screws where applicable. These should be assembled as follows.
Tightening process
The screws should normally be tightened crosswise, i.e. opposite pairs of screws should be
tightened immediately after one another.
The assembly should always be carried out according to the same diagram, as described in the
example below for a twelve-point division.
The torque values, the tightening of the screw and the application area for the assembly aid are
described in the assembly guidelines in the assembly diagram.
a) Mark screws 1 - 4
Pre-assemble screws 1 - 4 without Loctite assembly aid to approx. 30% of the torque value
given on the assembly diagram and in the order given

4. AFTER ASSEMBLY
Immediately after the screw assembly is complete, the excess residue of the assembly aids,
especially Loctite residue, should be removed
900900EN.DOC RE-USE
5. RE-USE
If screw connections secured or sealed using Loctite are unfastened, the any old Loctite reside
remaining on the screws should be completely removed mechanically, for example using a wire
brush.
With threaded connections and internal threads (e.g. with nuts), old Loctite residue should also be
removed completely.
All washers from unfastened screw connections should normally be replaced by new
washers!
Afterwards, all parts should be prepared for re-assembly (see chapters 1 to 4).
CONDITIONS OF GUARANTEE
The guarantee applies to defects which appear during the agreed warranty period under
normal use of the coupling resp. damper and although all operation conditions have been
strictly adhered to.
In particular the warranty does not apply if the installation was not built in according to the
drawings by either the buyer or his representative or if the maintenance- or operating
instructions were not observed or if the product was modified.
If parts or materials are used, not furnished by GEISLINGER, or which are not conform to
the original specification, GEISLINGER is under no obligation of warranty.
The same applies if inadequate repair has been effectuated resp. if the repair was not
done according to GEISLINGER's rule's of action and moreover if the repair was not
announced to GEISLINGER in writing before starting it.
During the warranty period only the buyer can bring forward claims, claims cannot be
transferred to a third party.
Storage until the installation goes into operation has to be in a dry place and in it's original
packing material resp. casing.
