Considering the cost of initial purchase, energy usage and maintenance, the Maxum Series is designed to provide the lowest total cost. The Maxum Series features dramatically extended bearing, shaft, coupling and mechanical seal life. You always get the most efficient pump for the job with your choice of 27 Maxum Series pump sizes.
1. Back-to-back angular contract bearings:

Protect against rotor shuttling.
Reduce mechanical seal distress by stabilizing entire rotating element both radially and axially. Give improved thrust carrying capacity and extend bearing life.

2. Magnetic mechanical seals:

Eliminate lip seals, labyrinth seals and associated problems.
Positive closure during static or dynamic operation prevents contamination of bearing lubricant.
Eliminate susceptibility to shaft fretting, grooving and heat build-up due to tight fitting seals.

3. Improved shaft design dramatically reduces shaft deflections to no more than .001 inches:

Increases shaft life.
Increases shaft seal life.
Stabilizes rotor system when pump operates away from
best efficiency point (BEP).

4. Oversized stuffing box allows for the selection of any seal configuration:

Provides room for the optimum selected seal.
Ease of on-site seal maintenance and replacement.
Reduction of inventory due to interchangeable seal
members.

5. W.C.B. cast steel is available for all cast components subjected to operating temperatures and pressures:

Superior fracture protection reduces risk of catastrophic failure.
Increases nozzle loading capacity.
Reduces bearing stress.

6. Oil mist lubrication available as pre-engineered option.

Position lubrication of thrust and radial bearing assured.
Eliminates wet sump and constant monitoring of oil levels.
Continuous lubrication of stand-by equipment preserves bearings.

7. Heavy-duty baseplate:

Designed for enough support to operate without deflection,
excessive vibration or resonance.
