Brief introduction to bearing life of drainage pump
The bearing life of a drainage pump is affected by many factors, but generally speaking, under normal use and maintenance conditions, the bearing can continue to operate for 2-3 years or more. To ensure the stable operation of the drainage pump, regular maintenance and inspection are recommended.
The following is a detailed introduction to its life:
1. Life range:
Generally, the bearing life of a water pump is 2-3 years. However, this time range may vary depending on the specific conditions of use and maintenance.
Another way of saying it is that the design life of pump bearings under ideal conditions (API standard) is 80,000 hours. This means that under continuous operation, the bearing can work for about 9.1 years (running 24 hours a day).
2. Influencing factors:
Load size: The load size of the bearing will directly affect its life.
Operation speed: The lower the operating speed of the bearing, the longer its life is generally.
Lubrication degree: Good lubrication can reduce friction and wear, thereby extending the life of the bearing.
Manufacturing precision: High-precision manufacturing can ensure the smooth operation of the bearing and reduce unnecessary losses.
Use environment: Environmental factors such as water quality, temperature, and humidity will also affect the life of the bearing.
3. Care and maintenance: Regular maintenance is the key to extending the life of drainage pump bearings. This includes cleaning the pump inlet and outlet, filter screen and cooling system, checking and tightening bolts and pipe connections, and regularly replacing lubricants and seals. Ensuring water quality has an important impact on the life of the pump. Particulate matter, corrosive substances or other contaminants in the water supply should be avoided to damage the bearings. Follow correct operating procedures and avoid overloading the pump or idling for a long time to reduce damage to the bearings.
