3.1 Configurations
The DMX can have the following configurations:
3.3.2 Impellers
The series’ impellers are single suction, enclosed
type, and one-piece construction and are
dynamically balanced. They are fitted with
renewable impeller rings (front and back), which
are held in place by headless set- screws.
Page 15
DMX/DMXD/DMXH/DMXDH USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH
®
3.3.9 Shaft
The high strength shaft is ground over its entire
length to close tolerances. The shaft is designed to
transmit the required power without vibration and
is stepped at each impeller fit for ease of assembly
and disassembly.
3.3.10 Bearings
The sleeve bearings are carbon steel backed,
Babbitt lined, sleeve-type insert bearings. The
renewable bearing inserts are mounted in bearing
housings kept from rotating by means of stop pins.
The thrust ball bearing is two single-row angular-
contact bearings, mounted back-to-back (stamping
will be face-to-face) and is consequently capable
of transmitting the thrust load in either direction.
The thrust is transmitted through the shaft to the
ball bearings and thence to the bearing housing
and foundation. The linings and ball bearings are
lubricated by use of oil rings.
3.3.11 Seal Chambers
The Seal Chambers are cast integral with the
casing. Your pump is typically shipped with the
mechanical seal already installed.
