High vibration is a common problem for motors installed on top of vertical pumps. Its source can stem from a mechanical issue with the pump, motor, or coupling — or even hydraulic forces from the pump ...

In terms of industry sector, perhaps the most prevalent use of centrifugal pumps is in mining, where high performance is expected under extreme conditions, although as noted they find use in a diverse ...

The last few years have shown progress in finite-element analysis intended for use by design engineers. Many programs that work with CAD provide several different types of analysis, and the range of ...

Based on a presentation to the 19th International Pump Users Symposium, Houston, Feb. 25-28, 2002. A hydrocarbon condensate pump in Oil & Natural Gas Corp. Ltd.'s Uran, India, processing plant was ...

Vibration analysis is a powerful and non-invasive way to measure, understand, and quantify the internal dynamics of mechanical systems, but the cost of the necessary instrumentation is sometimes a ...

There's typically no way around it. At some time during a motor's life, it is likely to experience high vibration levels. What's behind this maintenance phenomenon? The cause may be an electromagnetic ...

Millions of people across Africa depend on hand pumps for their water supplies The simple up-and-down motion of hand pumps could help scientists secure a key water source for 200 million people in ...
