C-FACE PUMP ADAPTERS

C-FACE PUMP ADAPTERS

C-FACE PUMP ADAPTERS

(OP)
I would like to get some input, i.e. where to get info, on c-face pump adapters and the pros and cons, have heard they are very good at reducing alignment and vibration issues.

RE: C-FACE PUMP ADAPTERS

I would assume your talking about ANSI pumps that have bearing housings with rabbet fits to accept c-face style brackets for mating c-face motors?  

If so, they would help with the cost of having to align a motor via the traditional laser alignment method.  It has the benefits of close-coupled pumps, but I'm not sure how they ship from the factory.  With spacer style couplings (traditional long-coupled pumps), you can verify rotation of the motor without having to disassemble the whole thing (as you would with close-coupled units).  As far as vibration, I'm not sure - they weren't the fad at the paper mill I worked at during my preventative maintenace years.  It does limit your coupling options, and can get tricky getting the right baseplate.
