Hitachi Coolant Pump Seal Kit

[Dwayne Foy]

I have a LB-10 Okuma lathe OSP 5000 LG control serial # 1427. Has anyone ran across a seal rebuild kit for a Hitachi coolant pump model # CP-S183 180W-2P this is the pump that came on the machine new in 1985. Please let me know A.S.A.P.

Can't say that I've seen a kit like that, but if you can pop out the seal and measure it, i've had pretty good luck with odd seals going through these guys:

Applied Industrial Technologies
1-866-351-3464
applied.com

If that doesn't work, I did just see a Grundfos coolant pump on ebay for about $450. It will bring you up to high pressure coolant specs and would typically only require a heavier duty motor overload on your pump relay to make it work. We did it here on an LB300-M and are much happier with the volume and pressure. (just a suggestion)

Thanks for the reply I had seen the pumps on ebay. For now we put some silicone on the seal and put it back in to get the machine running. "Working great for now "!

Thanks again,

Dwayne
