Description
Product Information
Pump housings and gears are made of top quality bronze, shafts are 303 stainless steel. Bearings are made of high performance carbon-graphite material selected for wear resistance and long service life. Gear pumps are positive displacement pumps. Each shaft revolution displaces a definite amount of liquid relatively unaffected by the backpressure in the discharge line. Shaft speed and flow are directly proportional.
FEATURES
- All Bronze Casting and Stainless Steel Shafts
- Sealing Arrangement Interchangeable in Field with Proper Kit
- Outboard Ball Bearing Support for Belt Drive Applications
- Self Lubricating Carbon Bearings
DRIVE
Direct drive is the recommended drive arrangement. This pump is suitable for belt drive applications without needing pillow block bearings to achieve acceptable pump life. Correct alignment is absolutely essential for satisfactory pump life. Recheck alignment after piping has been connected to the pump.
DRIVE & ALIGNMENT
Either direct drive with flexible coupling or pulley drive can be used. For pulley driven pumps a pillow block bearing must be used at the drive shaft end to absorb the belt forces. The drive shaft is sufficiently long enough to accommodate a pillow block in addition to the pulley. Correct alignment is absolutely essential for satisfactory pump life. Recheck alignment after the piping has been connected to the pump
NOISE - Large gear pumps are inherently noisy due to metal to metal gear contact. Make installations far removed from office or other relatively quiet people areas. Some noise reduction can be realized by lowering pump speed and use of isolation mounts and lines, usually the small amount of noise reduction achieved does not justify the effort and expense.
LIQUIDS & TEMPERATURES
High temperature accelerates wear. Keep as close to room temperature as possible.
SUCTION LIFT
A rotary gear pump is capable of lifting water on the suction side as high as 20 feet. Though gear pumps are self-priming, a foot valve is recommended. For pumping water directly from streams or ponds, a wire mesh strainer must be used at the beginning of the suction line to prevent stones from entering the pump. Strainer and foot valve are commercially available as combination units.
