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.
