How to keep mechanical seals from breaking
Mechanical seals are pretty robust and durable. But, they’re also easy to break. This sounds like a contradiction, doesn’t it? The reason why both these ...
A closer look at shaft failures and what to do about them
Learning what causes a centrifugal shaft to break will help you prevent this from happening in the first place, or again! In our previous article, we ...
What causes centrifugal pump shafts to snap or break?
It’s more common than you’d think. Pump shafts are designed to bend under radial hydraulic forces when the pump operates away from the best efficiency ...
Rogue vibrations? A piping expansion joint can help
Are you experiencing issues with a pump that keeps failing? There are many reasons why a pump could be costing you money even when it’s ...
It is not the pump’s fault. It’s your piping!
When installing a new pump, many engineers don’t properly look at the piping system. The piping system determines how and where the pump operates on ...
A closer look at the super-suction sliding shoe pump
You’ll be forgiven for laughing a little bit at the name of this pump. In fact, I’m sure you’d find some interesting YouTube videos if ...
Magnetic drive pumps. The solution for applications where leakage is not an option
Magnetic drive pumps (mag-drive pumps) are seal-less pumps usually used in applications that are hard to seal and/or where leakage is a threat to people ...
Importance of torque and temperature in mag-drive pumps
We know that magnetic drive pumps are a great solution for applications where leakage is not an option, but they’re also well suited for maintaining ...
When a magnetic drive centrifugal pump is a no-brainer
Centrifugal pumps are usually either sealed or seal-less. Centrifugal pumps with magnetic drive are an important type of seal-less pumps commonly found in chemical plants ...
