Why is the thrust bearing of a cantilever pump installed near the motor side?
It doesn’t matter which side it is close to; as long as the axial forces can be balanced
By the way, is the direction of the axial force in a cantilever pump pointing towards the inlet, that is, in the direction indicated by the arrow toward the impeller?
The general direction refers to the inlet side of the impeller
Axial forces can be balanced anywhere
Most of the residual axial force is like this
The bearings that bear the residual axial force are located at the rear side of the suspension, which facilitates adjusting the axial clearance of the bearings and also improves the heat dissipation conditions
While repairing the pump, I noticed that the inner ring of the radial bearing in the cantilever pump was not fully positioned (it was only secured on one side by a shaft shoulder), whereas in the pump with dual supports, both the inner and outer rings of the radial bearing were properly positioned. Why is that?
