Madzongo, Brighton (2017) Optimisation of Wear Resistance of Non-metallic Wear Parts in Pumping Components. [USQ Project]
Abstract
Most bearings require lubrication to avoid damage when in use. As the bearings support the shaft during rotation bearing failure due to lack of lubrication will result in damage to the shaft, impellers, mechanical seal casing and all other pump components. Bearings are in fact the heart of the pump and depending on the industry the cost of the bearing failure can cost more than hundreds of thousands of dollars hourly. Bearing dry running in vertically oriented pumps can be because of lack of lubrication during start up or contaminates trapped between the bearing and the shaft.
