What are the important considerations when selecting a coupling between a pump and motor?
Answer these 4 questions when specifying a pumping system for a dredge.
There are many types of flexible couplings available on the market.
The right coupling type, when installed correctly, can improve pump and motor efficiency and reduce wear.
Magnetic couplings and wet rotors are key features contributing to the technology.
Evaluate elastomeric and metallic couplings for an application.
Power plants with boiler feed pumps are finding more efficiency.
Pulp and paper plant faced a multimillion dollar revenue loss without an immediate fix.
An in-depth explanation of the differences between these two choices.
Lower coupling restoring forces can increase bearing and seal life.
One unique design transmits torque across the disc pack assemblies purely by friction, helping to prevent issues associated with stress concentration, backlash and chatter.
Some pumps were running with high vibration levels, while the disc couplings were failing on a regular basis.
Users should consider these important factors when choosing the best equipment for their applications.
Vibration and maintenance were reduced with the installation of carefully selected equipment.
