ROTATING EQUIPMENT

Rotating Equipment is used in the industries to describe mechanical components that use kinetic energy to move fluids, gases, and other process materials. These include, but are not limited to, engines, compressors, turbines, pumps, generators, blowers, and gearboxes.

What are the gear coupling and application

 What are the gear couplings?  Gear coupling Gear couplings are the type of flexible coupling and mostly use for high torque transmission for heavy machinery (positive displacement pump, gearbox, pump) and excess speed application as well. This type of coupling designed to transmit torque between two non-collinear equipment shafts, and with the help of two […]

How to install grid coupling

Installation guide for grid Coupling The installation guide for grid coupling provided by the manufacturer, in which torque settings for tightening of the set screws and bolts are also described within it. Some installations guide may contain additional data and dimensional information as well. The grid coupling is the assembly of two shaft hubs, grid,

Working Principle of Fluid Coupling Work

What is fluid coupling? A fluid coupling or hydraulic coupling is a hydrodynamic or hydrokinetic equipment that can transmit power and torque with the help of liquid (hydraulic oil). It belongs to the category of flexible coupling power transmission. This is based on hydrodynamic torque transmission device. It is the assembly of pump impeller, casing

What is rigid coupling

 What is rigid coupling? Rigid coupling Rigid coupling is used only whenever the misalignment between equipment shafts is very less or no misalignment is present in the system. When the equipment is appropriate to carry the reactionary load produced from trying to flex rigid couplings. This type of coupling mostly prefers for vertical applications such

What is flexible coupling | Types | Selection

What is flexible coupling? Flexible coupling is a type of coupling which is used for transmitting torque, power and connecting two different rotating machine shafts. Which are compensated for end movement of the shaft and rotate at the same speed. It will also compensate for a little amount of misalignment (Angular and parallel) between both

Interview Questions about Shaft Coupling

Shaft Coupling Shaft coupling is a mechanical device that is used to connect two shafts of two different equipment for transmitting the power and torque. The pump shaft coupling is used with machinery to connect driver and driven equipment and compensate small amounts of misalignment, power and torque transfer. There are many types of shaft

What is submersible pump and selection

What is submersible water pump A submersible water pump is a type of pump specifically designed to operate underwater, submerged within a liquid, usually water. It is designed to effectively and efficiently move water from one location to another, utilizing a hermetically sealed motor to prevent water from entering the pump’s interior. The submersible water

What is centrifugal compressor

Centrifugal compressor (Api 617) The centrifugal compressor is a type of compressor commonly used in various industries for compressing gases. It operates on the principle of dynamic compression, where the kinetic energy of the gas is converted into pressure energy. The API 617 is a standard published by the American Petroleum Institute (API) that provides

Basic use of wearing rings in centrifugal pump

Wearing rings Wearing rings, also known as wear rings, are components used in centrifugal pumps to minimize the leakage of fluid between the impeller and the pump casing. They are designed to provide a small running clearance between the impeller and the casing, which helps to improve pump efficiency and reduce wear on both components.

Basics of reciprocating pump

Reciprocating pump Reciprocating pump is a mechanical device which is used to discharge or transfer liquid from one source to another source with high pressure and fixed volume approx. It is a type of positive displacement pump. Reciprocating pump converts mechanical energy into hydraulic energy by sucking the fluid from the sump into the piston

Characteristics of positive displacement pump

Characteristics of positive displacement pump The positive displacement pump gives approx. a constant flow at a wide range of pressures. Mostly positive displacement pump use for deliver high viscosity fluid. This type of pump is three types rotary, reciprocating and linear. This type of pump operates at the initial stage with always turn the valve

What is plain bearing

Sleeve bearings Sleeve bearings, also known as journal bearings, are a type of plain bearing that supports a rotating shaft using a cylindrical sleeve. The sleeve is typically made of a soft material such as bronze, brass, or a polymer like nylon or Teflon. The lubrication of the bearing is critical for its operation, and
