Vertical Pumps
Designed and meant to be used as a vertically mounted assembly.
Typical vertical pumps include or have as an option some sort of
mounting plate. Others are meant to be completely submersed in the
liquid. Vertical pumps can have either a relatively short shaft and
therefore be canti-levered from the motor allowing for them to
operate without bearings and to run-dry. Others have some sort of
bearings or bushings, usually a non-metallic type, somewhere along
the shaft to minimize shaft run-out and whip. This category also
includes those pumps, which are hermetically sealed pump and motor
units, suitable for being completely submersed in the liquid.
Unlike horizontals, vertical pumps rarely need to be primed, the
impeller and casing simply need to be submerged during start-up.
Here considerations are usually on the controlling of the pump
on-off cycles with some sort of float switch.
