What is fluid coupling? A fluid coupling or hydraulic coupling is a hydrodynamic or hydrokinetic equipment that can transmit power and torque with the help of liquid (hydraulic oil). It belongs to the category of flexible coupling power transmission. This is based on hydrodynamic torque transmission device. It is the assembly of pump impeller, casing […]
What is rigid coupling? Rigid coupling Rigid coupling is used only whenever the misalignment between equipment shafts is very less or no misalignment is present in the system. When the equipment is appropriate to carry the reactionary load produced from trying to flex rigid couplings. This type of coupling mostly prefers for vertical applications such […]
What is flexible coupling? Flexible coupling is a type of coupling which is used for transmitting torque, power and connecting two different rotating machine shafts. Which are compensated for end movement of the shaft and rotate at the same speed. It will also compensate for a little amount of misalignment (Angular and parallel) between both […]
Shaft Coupling Shaft coupling is a mechanical device that is used to connect two shafts of two different equipment for transmitting the power and torque. The pump shaft coupling is used with machinery to connect driver and driven equipment and compensate small amounts of misalignment, power and torque transfer. There are many types of shaft […]
What is submersible water pump A submersible water pump is a type of pump specifically designed to operate underwater, submerged within a liquid, usually water. It is designed to effectively and efficiently move water from one location to another, utilizing a hermetically sealed motor to prevent water from entering the pump’s interior. The submersible water […]
Centrifugal compressor (Api 617) The centrifugal compressor is a type of compressor commonly used in various industries for compressing gases. It operates on the principle of dynamic compression, where the kinetic energy of the gas is converted into pressure energy. The API 617 is a standard published by the American Petroleum Institute (API) that provides […]
Wearing rings Wearing rings, also known as wear rings, are components used in centrifugal pumps to minimize the leakage of fluid between the impeller and the pump casing. They are designed to provide a small running clearance between the impeller and the casing, which helps to improve pump efficiency and reduce wear on both components. […]
Reciprocating pump Reciprocating pump is a mechanical device which is used to discharge or transfer liquid from one source to another source with high pressure and fixed volume approx. It is a type of positive displacement pump. Reciprocating pump converts mechanical energy into hydraulic energy by sucking the fluid from the sump into the piston […]
Characteristics of positive displacement pump The positive displacement pump gives approx. a constant flow at a wide range of pressures. Mostly positive displacement pump use for deliver high viscosity fluid. This type of pump is three types rotary, reciprocating and linear. This type of pump operates at the initial stage with always turn the valve […]
Sleeve bearings Sleeve bearings, also known as journal bearings, are a type of plain bearing that supports a rotating shaft using a cylindrical sleeve. The sleeve is typically made of a soft material such as bronze, brass, or a polymer like nylon or Teflon. The lubrication of the bearing is critical for its operation, and […]
What is the balance drum? The term “balance drum” is not commonly used in relation to pumps. However, it is possible that you are referring to a component called a “balance drum” in specific types of pumps called multistage centrifugal pumps. In multistage centrifugal pumps, the balance drum is a device used to balance the […]
Rolling Contact Bearing: Rolling contact bearings are critical components in diverse mechanical systems, from cars to heavy-duty industrial machines. They minimize friction and enable smooth rotation, allowing parts to move efficiently. Their unique ability to handle both radial and axial loads while conserving energy makes them invaluable in modern engineering. This article delves into the […]
What is bearing and why is it used? A bearing is a mechanical component used to support and reduce friction between moving parts. It is a critical element in various machines and equipment that involve relative motion, such as rotating shafts or linear motion systems. Bearings enable smooth and controlled movement while minimizing wear and […]
Bearing The term bearing comes from the bear, a bearing is a component that supports load while permitting relative motion between two parts of the machine. Bearing is an important part of a machine that carries the load, reduces friction, and gives a smooth operation. The selection of bearings is based on the requirement of […]
Mechanical seal A mechanical seal is a vital device employed to effectively prevent the leakage of liquid from the inside casing to the outside, specifically by creating a seal between the static and rotating components. These seals find extensive usage in centrifugal pumps and various other equipment. The classification of mechanical seals is based on […]
