If the mechanical seal on your pump keeps defaulting, it could be because it is not compatible with the materials being pumped, installation issues, application problems, or the pump running dry. A diagnostic inspection is the only way to identify the problem.
The term “bearing” comes from the verb, “to bear,” meaning it is part of a simple machine that allows one object to bear another more efficiently by reducing friction.
Stopping and starting an electric motor repeatedly causes heat to build up, which must be sufficiently dissipated. If it is not, then heat can build to a point at which the motor is damaged and will no longer function properly.
Probably the most common type of bearing, ball bearings are found in everything from inline skates to hard drives. These bearing can handle both radial and thrust loads, and are usually found in applications where the load is relatively small.
Hydraulic pumps are extremely adaptable. In some shops, they’re used to power equipment ranging from wood processing and milling machines to log splitters, power presses, stamping presses, conveyor belts and more.
