Need to Identify What a Part Is In a Pumping System?
(OP)
I need to figure out what is in the picture highlighted by the red box. I think it is some sore of bearing assembly to support a rotor, but it looks pre-manufactured (whereas the silver part to the right is custom made). Any ideas as to what it is called? Where I can buy them?

Thank you all!

That is exactly what I am looking for. I know that in the picture above the black bearing assembly was not part of the pump (the silver part) originally. As the silver part is a custom job to test impeller designs. The bearing assembly looks like it is purchased rather than custom made. Can you buy these types of bearing assemblies without a pump? I am starting to think they bought a pump with the bearing assembly and just removed the pump housing and attached their own. What do you think?

I don't think so but that doesn't mean it couldn't be. Why do you think it might be?
