Product Information


Pump housings and gears are made of top quality bronze, shafts are 303 stainless steel. Bearings have a bronze bearing surface with grease fittings 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.

FEATURES

  • Bronze corrosion resistant castings
  • Special cast bronze helical gears for quiet operation
  • Stainless steel shafts & fasteners
  • Synthetic braided compression packing (with Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) dispersion) is standard
  • Optional lip seals are available
  • Positive displacement flow
  • Bronze bearing surfaces with grease fittings

DRIVE

Pumps should be mounted on a rigid base and properly aligned with the motor. Direct drive via flexible shaft coupling is the preferred method. When a belt drive is needed, additional support is necessary to absorb the added pulley load. This can be accomplished in one of two ways: 1) Use the standard pump arrangement by adding an independently supported jackshaft (see figure 2 below) or use kit 34P or 2) When space is an issue, use an optional “long shafted” pump and add a properly shimmed pillow block bearing (see figure 1).

LIQUIDS & TEMPERATURES

Service life will be increased substantially if the liquid pumped is clean and has some degree of lubricity. These positive displacement pumps have tight tolerances. Fine abrasives like sand, silt, or powders in suspension will accelerate pump wear and reduce throughput. Liquids compatible with bronze and stainless steel can be pumped providing proper seal has been specified (see chemical compatibility or check factory). No carbon bearings used. When possible, flush the pump after each usage. Temperature extremes are detrimental to service life and should be avoided. Basic metals of construction allow a temperature range of -40 to 400oF. Some lip seal elastomers have a limit of 212oF. (See engineering data or check factory). Allowing a liquid to freeze in the pump can cause damage.

SUCTION LIFT

Close tolerances and the positive pumping action make the rotary gear pump capable of lifting water on the suction side as high as 20 feet. Though gear pumps are self priming, a foot valve is recommended. If possible, wet the gears with liquid to be pumped for the first dry start. Liquid retained in the system and gear chambers serves to “wet” the pump on subsequent starts.
