PUMP TROUBLESHOOTING

BROKEN SHAFT

Probable Cause



Foreign objects entering the pump.



Viscosity too high for the pump speed.



Relief valve not opening.



Hydraulic hammer - pressure spikes.



Pump/driver,

driveline/drive shaft misalignment.



Excessively worn vanes or vane slots.



Settled or solidified material in the pump at start-up.



Overtightened V-belts, if used.

SEAL LEAKAGE

Probable Cause



O-rings not compatible with the liquids pumped.



O-rings nicked, cut or twisted.



Shaft at seal area damaged, worn or dirty.



Excessive

cavitation.



Mechanical seal faces cracked, scratched, pitted or dirty.



Ball bearings overgreased.

MOTOR OVERLOAD

Probable Cause



Horsepower of motor not sufficient for application



Improper wire size / wiring and/or voltage to motor.



Misalignment in pump drive system.



Bearing locknuts adjusted improperly.



Excessive

viscosity,

pressure or speed.



Faulty or worn bearings.



Rotor rubbing against head or liner.



Dirty mechanical seal faces.
