High Pressure Bronze Gear Pump - H994
Pump housings and gears are made of top quality Navy M bronze, shafts are stainless steel 303. Bearings are made of high performance silicon carbide 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 back pressure in the discharge line. Shaft speed and flow are directly proportional.
Compartir
- High strength Navy M bronze housing
- Rugged bronze spur gears
- Hardened stainless steel shafts
- Silicon carbide bearings
- 300 PSI pressure capability
- Mechanical seal
- O-ring housing seal
- Bidirectional
- Easy field assembly to footed NEMA c-Face and IEC B14 Motors
DRIVE
Close coupled pumps are mounted directly to the electric motor by means of a suitable adapter bracket. The pump drive shaft is connected to the motor shaft by a flexible coupling.
LIQUIDS & TEMPERATURES
These pumps are suitable for all liquids that are compatible with bronze. Most common liquids are water, oil, and mild chemicals in the pH range of 4 to 11. Viscous liquids require reduced shaft speeds of 1140 RPM or lower. (Consult factory.) Liquids containing solids, abrasives, powders, or paint pigments are definitely not recommended for gear pumps. If abrasives are unavoidable, use a very low shaft speed. The recommended liquid temperature range is from 32°F to 140°F for best pump life. If more extreme temperature conditions exist, factory should be consulted. Freezing of water-filled pumps can cause damage and must be avoided. Oils at low temperatures are very viscous requiring a lower speed or extra power.
SUCTION LIFT
As a general rule, the suction lift should be kept at an absolute minimum by placing the pump as close to the liquid source as possible. A gear pump in new condition can lift 20 feet of water in the suction line. A foot valve (preferably with built-in strainer) is recommended at the beginning of the suction line. For a first start-up, the pump should be primed to avoid dry running. Minimum size of the suction pipe is the size of the pump inlet port. For longer suction lines (over 3 feet), or for viscous liquids, the pipe size should be at least one size or two sizes larger than the pump inlet port.
