Regarding the fixing method of the centrifugal pump: rigid connection OR adding shock absorbers
Thread Content
For pumps, considering the stability of their operation, the question arises as to whether the pump should be completely fixed to a base (using grouting), or whether it should be placed on a shock-absorbing platform (with vibration-damping measures added beneath the pump’s foundation). Diagram:

Great master, could you explain it in more detail? Based on what circumstances?
From the perspective of ensuring stable operation of the pump, it is certainly more reasonable to fix the pump completely to a base (in fact, this is the installation method used for most pumps). Placing the pump on a shock-absorbing platform is not common; this approach is only used when the pump needs to be moved frequently, such as on construction sites or in the field. Some small pumps even do not have any shock-absorbing devices – they are simply placed flat or fixed in a simple manner before being used.
When installing a centrifugal pump, shock absorbers or damping devices should be used to reduce the damage caused by vibrations of the pump to both the pump itself and the pipelines
