Why are the bearings on my Ruhrpumpen CPP21 Water Pump getting so hot?
- DDaniel BellAug 11, 2025
Hot bearings in your Ruhrpumpen Water Pump can stem from several issues. It could be due to insufficient, contaminated, or too much oil. Other potential causes include misalignment, tension stress on the pump, excessive axial thrust, incorrect half-coupling spacing, or damaged bearings. To resolve this, add oil if it is insufficient, drain and clean the reservoir and refill with clean oil if contaminated, check pump and driver alignment, drain to the proper level if there's too much oil, check piping for tension-free connections, clean balance holes in the impeller and change the seal rings for excessive axial thrust, reset the half-coupling spacing if it's not set correctly, or replace damaged bearings.
