Pumps Feature Thrust-Pod Bearing Design

These pumps feature an oil-lubricated “thrust-pod” bearing design that is operator-friendly. Problems with over-greasing or under-greasing the bearing are eliminated and oil level is easily confirmed with a visual inspection of the constant-level oiler. The higher thrust capacity of the thrust-pod allows the mechanical seals to operate near suction pressure and at lower temperatures, reducing seal-pressure velocity values substantially. In applications with this design, the need for magnetic drives or wet-stator motors is eliminated.
