Features and Benefits
- Solid shaft motor includes thrust bearing to withstand the total hydraulic thrust as well as the rotor weight
- Rigid, adjustable flanged coupling provides the proper impeller clearance adjustment
- Bowls are designed with multiple diffuser vanes and flanged construction
- Bowl bearings on either side of the impeller provide rigid shaft support
- Enclosed or semi-open impellers are cast to provide smooth passageways for more efficient fluid flow
- Suction bell is designed to provide efficient fluid flow into the eye of the first stage impeller
