Pumps & Systems, the leading magazine for pump users worldwide, is proud to announce the “Eliminate Misalignment and Right-Size Your Pumps” webinar, a presentation made in partnership with FluxDrive, Inc.
The live webinar will take place Nov. 6, 2014, at 1 p.m. Eastern. Registration is free at www.pumpsandsystems.com/webinars.
In “Eliminate Misalignment and Right-Size Your Pumps,” Matt Carlson and Rich Braun of FluxDrive will address the most common reasons that pumps become misaligned and new technology that leads to significant improvements in bearing and seal life.
Topics of discussion include:
- The consequences of misalignment
- Ensuring that equipment remains aligned
- Running equipment properly following installation
- New coupling technology that isolates the motor from the load
- The ability to “right-size” existing oversize pumps
Solutions allow mechanical adjustment of pump speed rather than implementing more complicated (and potentially less reliable) electronic speed control solutions.
The one-hour event will include a 45-minute presentation followed by a 15-minute live question-and-answer segment.
