Hi-Thrust Base Of The Perfect Industry vertical turbine pumps

The Perfect Industry vertical turbine pump Hi-Thrust Base motor assembly is designed to carry all thrust loads created during pump operation. The integrated single thrust bearing is capable of handling these loads, eliminating the need for a special high thrust or hollow shaft motor.

The motor and Hi-Thrust Base are precisely aligned during assembly to assure concentricity of all pump parts, including the shaft and thrust bearing. This eliminates any possible misalignment. The thrust bearing is installed at the factory, allowing impeller clearances to be factory preset. This removes the risk of improper shaft adjustment in the field and the resulting damage during installation.

With the Hi-Thrust Base carrying the pump thrust load, rather than the motor, a standard C-Face motor can be used. This allows a much wider array of lower-cost  motor  choices  that  are  available off-the-shelf.

This combined design speeds delivery, assures proper motor to pump shaft alignment and concen- tricity, simplifies installation, and extends overall pump life.
