Bearings
Bearing type
Characteristics
Inboard (radial)
•
Consists of a single-row deep-groove ball bearing
•
Carries only radial load
•
Freely floats axially in the frame
Outboard
(thrust)
•
Consists of a duplex-angular contact bearing, which uses a pair of single-row angular con-
tact ball bearings mounted back-to-back
•
Shouldered and locked to the shaft
•
Retained in the bearing frame to enable it to carry radial and thrust loads
All fits are precision-machined to industry standards.
Baseplate
The fabricated steel baseplate supports the pump, driver, and accessories in accordance with API-610
requirements.
Direction of rotation
The shaft rotates counterclockwise when viewed from the drive end.
3.2 General description i-ALERT®3 Equipment Condition Monitor
Description
The i-ALERT®3 Equipment Condition Monitor is a compact, battery-operated monitoring device that con-
tinuously measures the vibration and temperature of the pump power end. The i-ALERT®3 sensor uses
blinking LED and wireless notification to alert the pump operator when the pump exceeds vibration and
temperature limits. This allows the pump operator to make changes to the process or the pump before a
catastrophic failure occurs. The i-ALERT®3 monitor allows customers to identify potential problems be-
fore they become costly failures. It tracks vibration, temperature, change in electromagnetic field and
run-time hours and wirelessly syncs the data with the i-ALERT Gateway or with a smart phone or tablet
using i-ALERT®3 mobile app.
