COUPLED PUMP

A type of pump that involves an impeller as the central element of the motor component. The pump doesn’t have a separate coupling, and thus eliminate coupling alignment, one of the more expensive and time-consuming operations of pumps that aren’t close-coupled. In a close coupled pump, the impeller is on the same shaft as the electric motor that drives the pump. The motor has a machined face on one end, which matches the face on the pump casing that is mounted against the motor face. The bearings that are in the motor must handle the forces generated by the pump, since it doesn’t have its own separate bearing housing.
