The pump is running, the bearing is stuck – did it shut down?

Thread Content

The Jifeng water pump suddenly stopped working while it was in operation. A colleague on site said that the bearing had seized and couldn’t rotate. How could this happen to a pump that has been running continuously? Don’t understand? Or some other reason. The rated current of our mechanical seal water pump is 11.1A. The normal outlet pressure is 0.09 kPa

There are many reasons for bearing damage, such as insufficient lubricating oil, water in the lubricating oil, impurities entering the bearing, and excessive axial force on the pump, among others

We have encountered this before; the reasons vary. In our case, it was due to poor quality of the pump and damaged bearings

The inability to rotate the machine is not always caused by damaged bearings; it could also be due to the wear of the impeller’s mouth ring, or the presence of foreign objects in the impeller’s flow channels. Bearing damage is usually caused by a lack of lubricating oil, emulsification of the lubricant, water contamination in the oil, and other factors that lead to poor lubrication of the bearings.

Check more often; sometimes the mechanical seal can get stuck as well.

It’s either a problem with the oil or a quality issue with the shaft

Lubricating oil,,, mechanical seal,,, no lubrication leading to dry friction. . . Problems with the shaft itself. .

It is also necessary to consider whether it is due to human action, intentional damage; P
