Vertical Pumps
Following the correct procedures for pump and motor alignment is necessary for reliable operation.
Vertical mixed-flow, line-shaft pumps power a $20 million flood control station.
This equipment exploits the elasticity of synthetic rubber and ensures stable bearing behavior.
Guidelines for reduced vibration and information on how a pump’s foundation and operating speed affect the vibration response
A northeast Germany refinery increased its MTBF by upgrading eight pumps.
Use a mathematical model that estimates vibration at the top bearing of a motor used on a vertical, wet-pit, column type pump.
A shaft grounding ring and ceramic insulation can improve motor bearing life when VFDs are used.
