Centrifugal Pump Subassembly

Centrifugal pump subassemblies are components or parts that make up a centrifugal pump, which is a type of pump used to transport fluids by converting rotational kinetic energy into hydrodynamic energy. These subassemblies are specifically categorized under the supply class Power And Hand Pumps in the supply group Pumps And Compressors.

Some common centrifugal pump subassemblies include:

1. Impeller: The impeller is a rotating component that transfers energy to the fluid by accelerating it radially outward. It consists of curved blades or vanes that push the fluid towards the pump outlet.

2. Casing: The casing is the outer shell of the pump that encloses the impeller and other internal components. It helps to direct the flow of fluid and provides structural support to the pump.

3. Shaft: The shaft is a rotating component that connects the impeller to the motor or drive unit. It transmits the rotational motion from the motor to the impeller, allowing the pump to operate.

4. Bearings: Bearings are used to support and guide the rotating shaft, reducing friction and allowing smooth rotation. They help to maintain the alignment and stability of the shaft during operation.

5. Seals: Seals are used to prevent leakage of fluid along the shaft and at other points where the pump is connected to the piping system. They help to maintain the efficiency and reliability of the pump.

6. Motor or Drive Unit: The motor or drive unit provides the power to rotate the impeller and drive the pump. It can be an electric motor, internal combustion engine, or any other power source.

These are just a few examples of centrifugal pump subassemblies. The specific subassemblies may vary depending on the design and application of the centrifugal pump.
