Causes of oil leakage from the pump oil cup

2008-02-25View Original

Thread Content

For a centrifugal pump, when the oil reaches the specified oil level, add oil to the oil cup, and then install the oil cup. After transporting the pump, within 12 hours, the oil in the oil cup leaked dry. Excuse me: What is the reason for this? Does the oil cup itself sometimes leak?

Carefully check the height of the center of the oil cup joint. If it is higher than this position, the oil cup will definitely not be able to store oil.

This kind of problem is common with domestically produced pumps. The above person did not explain it clearly. There is information about the oil level gauge in the forum. LZ will know after looking at it. The main problem is that the position of the automatic oil refill port is higher than the bearing oil seal, and the oil is leaking from the oil seal. The simplest solution is to try twisting the oil level gauge downward a little until there is no leakage and the oil level gauge cannot be twisted by you. :lol

I agree with the third floor's opinion, let's deal with it this way first.

The oil leakage problem was solved, but when the inspection came, they refused to let it go. The equipment said it was not balanced and upright according to regulations, and the safety said that if something was dropped, the oil cup was broken and it was not in compliance with regulations. They don't care about your actual application issues. Don't add too much to the oil cup. The more you add, the faster it will leak. Just add 1/3.

It seems to be quite different, and it has obviously affected the appearance: lol. Go to the pump manufacturer and ask them to propose a solution, otherwise they will be blacklisted. Other: In case of emergency, you can measure the actual deviation size and install a self-made Z-shaped joint.
