The development of industrial pumps is towards a reduction in the total cost of ownership and the need to comply with increasingly tougher environmental legislation. The challenge for pump manufacturers is to increase meantime between failures and at the same time reduce energy consumption to meet industry standards.
In pumps, the bearings are exposed to high combined axial and radial loads, moderate to high speeds, and in some cases, high temperatures. In addition, depending on the operating conditions, the pump may experience cavitations which causes increased bearing loads, impeller damage, increased vibrations and shaft deflections. For these cases above, with experienced experts CHG will offer scientific solutions.
