Product characteristics
For the utmost precision, all product tolerances are machine to the exact requirements. We ensure accurate balancing to get consistent results and extended product life. For additional system strength, all shafts manufactured feature high durability, making them also corrosion - resistant. Our advanced assembly design of both the shaft and impeller support demanding pump applications. The improved fit maximizes flow rates and allows extended operation with less maintenance.
Product description
The original Flygt rotor elements are designed and manufactured to keep the rotor in balance, resulting in improved motor efficiency and performance. To comply with technical regulations all Flygt rotor elements are made of martensitic stainless steel whose properties do not interfere with the magnetic field of the rotor. Our specially designed rotor elements prevent pitting and are highly resistant to permanent deformation and corrosion in general. A low quality or poorly repaired rotor can cause imbalance and increase the risk of vibration, noise, stator and bearing damage and even depressurization. At Xylem, we manufacture Flygt rotor elements, each to very strict tolerances. Strict tolerances are essential;they contribute to the correct fit of the impeller, mechanical seals and bearings, preventing faults in the entire rotating system. In addition, precise manufacturing techniques also ensure proper balancing to minimize the risk of seal or bearing failure as well as excessive noise and vibration. Moreover, all Flygt rotor elements are designed and manufactured with careful machining and grinding of critical surfaces to the required smoothness to minimize the risk of stress concentrations, cracking and failures due to fatigue. For example, Flygt rotor elementsfor the 2600 and 2800 series dewatering pumps are designed and manufactured without keyways to prevent cracks that could damage the rotor or impeller
