Principles of rolling bearing selection
When selecting bearings for any purpose ultimately you want to be certain of achieving the required level of equipment performance and robustness at the lowest possible cost There are key factors you must consider when putting together the bearing specifications for an application
Electric Motor Bearing Greasing Basics
The most common type of bearing is the AFBMA-7 C-3 rated bearing C-3 relates to the internal clearances of the surfaces of the bearing In most motor rated bearings there is a clearance of between 3-5 mils (thouhs of an inch) in which lubrication flows to reduce friction and wear of
Noise in pumps and systems
Fig 2 Noise in pumps and systems: Centrifugal pump sound sources Noise control The most critical active sound-absorbing measure for noise control is the correct selection of the pump itself which must be designed for the task in question and have the correct size The sound of a centrifugal pump varies in intensity along its H/Q curve

Protecting Thrust Bearings in Deepwell Submersible Pumps
Apr 17 2013Most deepwell submersible pumps use fluid film thrust bearings instead of ball and roller bearings used in most surface mounted pumps The unique thing about this type of bearing is that there are no moving parts within the bearing so if the motor
Choosing the Right Fire Pump
Oct 29 2015These pumps are also available to take advantage of smaller fire pump ratings – 50 GPM 100 GPM 150 GPM etc often with single phase electric motors Historically HSC pumps have been manufactured at only 250 GPM and 500 GPM ratings The vertical inline pump helps fill in the gaps of pump GPM ratings
ABB knows the most common bearing diffi culties and how
Motor bearings are of high importance in drive systems so their selection and handling should be taken seriously Rolf Hoppler and Reinhold Errath evaluate the types of bearings used in the cement industry off ering their hints and tips for avoiding problems with lubrication greasing motor cabling installation alignment bearing currents
Bearing rating life
1) The factor n represents the failure probability which is the difference between the requisite reliability and For 90% reliability: L nm = QIBR rating life (at 100 - n 1) % reliability) [million revolutions] Becomes: L 10m = QIBR rating life [million revolutions] Since the life adjustment factor a 1 is related to fatigue it is less relevant for load levels P below the fatigue load
Proper Selection and Lubrication of Bearings
Dec 17 2011Pumps Systems February 2008 Maintenance and repair functions constitute a significant component of pumping system life cycle costs especially in terms of energy consumption The proper selection and lubrication of bearings can help bring economies and efficiencies into line

How to Size an Electric Motor for Use with a Centrifugal Pump
Failing to size the motor correctly will result in a pumping unit that demands more power than it should or one that produces repeated electric faults and may suffer from premature motor failure This article is part of Pumps 101 an eleven-part series of articles designed as an introduction to the fundamentals of centrifugal pump design
Operating temperature and speed
the heat dissipated from the bearing via the shaft housing foundation lubricant cooling system (if used) and other cooling devices The bearing operating temperature depends as much on the application design as on the bearing generated friction Therefore the bearing its adjacent parts and the application should all be thermally analysed
Five things to consider in vertical applications
Nov 07 2015In addition the force of gravity on the load when starting and stopping will influence the inertia of the system which also plays a role both actuator selection and motor sizing In a vertical application it is generally recommended to use two bearing blocks on each guide rail
Vertical Turbine Pumps
Every piece of rotating machinery (motor pump etc ) has a natural frequency or vibration of operation As the discharge head of the pump supports the motor it is the responsibility of the pump manufacturer to design the discharge head to withstand the natural frequencies of the motor through its operating speed range (say 45 – 60 HZ or 1350 – 1800 rpm)
Consulting
May 21 2015When selecting a pump for closed-loop systems several factors are to be considered such as pressure losses associated with the total horizontal and vertical length of piping the piping elbows and tees (fittings) the valves in the system miscellaneous piping accessories the equipment coils the minimum system pressure to be maintained and
