Induction motors are the most common type of motors used in industrial applications. This article focuses specifically on the top 3 major causes of induction motor failure. Induction motors are powered by alternating current electricity. Typically, centrifugal pumps are powered by induction motors, yet there are countless applications in which induction motors can be … Read more
Bearings are a crucial component for centrifugal pumps. As to be expected, bearings cannot last forever in a centrifugal pump, and eventually, bearings will fail. “This is because pump bearings usually fail from causes other than fatigue”1. These causes of bearing failure vary greatly, however, the reasons include “excessive thrust, misalignment, inadequate lubrication, impact, static … Read more
Diaphragm pumps can be rather useful solutions to pump downtimes. For example, a diaphragm pump can continue pumping when the original centrifugal pump is down. Diaphragm pumps can be employed as a substitute in the short-term to replace a centrifugal pump in need of repairs. A diaphragm pump is “a type of reciprocating pump used … Read more
