What are the essential parts of a pump?
In a pump the basic components are: • pump body: inside this part run the impeller; • impeller: part that supplies energy to the fluid; • shaft: machine member that transfers the rotatory motion to the impeller; • seal system: machine member that separates the hydraulic part (for surface pumps) or the motor (for submersible products) to the external ambient, to avoid that the fluid enter or exit, respectively.
