Pumps: between bearing and overhung
Pumps: between bearing and overhung
(OP)
Is there a method in choosing what sort of pump to pick when specifying a pump? Between bearing would give more support to the shaft? Are these chosen for larger pumps? Any help would be welcome. Thanks in advance.





RE: Pumps: between bearing and overhung
Lets first make sure we are talking about the same thing.
By "overhung" I assume that you mean -horizontal axis, end suction design ( e.g. ANSI process pumps)
By "between bearing" I assume that you mean what is commonly called "double suction" in the pump industry.
There are many advantages/disadvantages to each type.
Suggest you purchase/review a text such as the "Pump Handbook" by Karassik.
