WK
Fig. 4 Dismantled rotor
In order to balance the axial thrust, throttling passages are
arranged at the impeller necks at the suction and discharge
end of each impeller, and additional balancing holes are
provided in the impeller necks at the discharge end
(See Fig. 5).
A fixed bearing absorbs the residual axial thrust generated
and also locates the rotor in the axial position; in the standard
bearing construction, this bearing consists of a deep groove
ball bearing (321) and in the pump construction with heavy
duty bearing bracket, it consists of two angular contact ball
bearings (320).
1.3 Bearing Arrangement
WK pumps are fitted with different types of beaings and bearing
housing, depending on the differential head (generated
pressure) of the pump. In the case of low differential heads,
the standard bearing construction is provided. In the case of
higher total heads, the heavy duty bearing construction is
provided to absorb the increased residual thrust.
The pump manufacturer decides which type of bearing
arrangement shall be provided.
