Bronze Pedestal Gear Pump - N26HDP

The Bronze Gear Pump - N26HDP is a superbly crafted positive displacement gear pump that exemplifies reliability and efficiency. This high-quality bronze gear pump features top-grade bronze castings and 303 stainless steel shafts, ensuring it stands up to the rigors of industrial use. 

  • All Bronze Casting and Stainless Steel Shafts: The pump’s bronze construction guarantees durability, while the stainless steel shafts provide the robustness needed for a stainless steel shaft gear pump. 
  • Self Lubricating Carbon Bearings: These carbon-graphite bearings are not only high-performance but also self-lubricating, which means less maintenance and a longer-lasting pump. 

  • Seal Conversion Kits: The N26HDP is adaptable in the field, with gear pump seal conversion kits available for easy maintenance and repair. Seal conversion kits illustrated (on back) are designed for quick removal and replacement. In each case, seal housings are fastened to pump bodies by means of 2 bolts, item 13. 

Performance

  • Drive: Recommended as a direct drive gear pump, the N26HDP can also be configured for belt drive applications, supported by an outboard ball bearing for enhanced performance without the need for pillow block bearings. 

  • Drive & Alignment: Whether you choose a direct drive with flexible coupling or a pulley drive, the N26HDP accommodates various setups while emphasizing the importance of gear pump alignment for optimal service life. 

  • NOISE: As a low-noise gear pump, the N26HDP is designed to operate with minimal sound, but as with all large gear pumps, some noise is inherent due to metal-on-metal contact. 

Suction Lift: 

  • High Suction Lift Gear Pump: This pump is a powerful rotary gear pump that can lift water up to 20 feet (~6 m) on the suction side, making it ideal for a range of applications. 

  • Self-Priming Gear Pump: While the N26HDP is self-priming, the inclusion of a gear pump foot valve is recommended to ensure reliable operation. 

Liquids & Temperatures: 

  • High-Temperature Service: The N26HDP is built to operate as a gear pump for high-temperature liquids, though keeping the liquid close to room temperature is advisable to reduce wear. 

Service Wear Factors: 

  • Speed: To extend the life of your pump, operate it at a low speed. The N26HDP is designed as a low-speed gear pump, ideal for maintaining performance without undue wear. 

  • Pressure: This high-pressure gear pump can handle challenging conditions, but operating at lower pressures when possible will help prolong the pump’s lifespan. 

  • Liquid Contamination: Keep your liquids clean to prevent abrasion, ensuring that the N26HDP continues to function as an abrasion-resistant gear pump. 

  • Liquid Lubricity: The use of lubricant additives can enhance the N26HDP’s service life, making it a lubricity enhancing gear pump.
