The Importance of Rubber Parts in Submersible Pumps
The most sensitive part of submersible pumps is the section where the electric motor is located. If the motor comes into contact with water, it causes immediate pump failure and highly costly damage. High-quality rubber spare parts that come into play at this point guarantee the safety of the system by providing perfect insulation. At the same time, they increase energy efficiency by reducing the friction of moving parts inside the pump.
Main Submersible Pump Rubber Spare Parts
Although they vary according to the model and intended use of submersible pumps, the main rubber spare parts that are most needed and require regular replacement are:
O-Rings and Seals: These are the fundamental parts that prevent leakage at body junction points, around the shaft, and at cable entries. By maintaining their form even under pressure, they prevent water from reaching the motor block.
Stator Rubbers: Especially in progressive cavity (monopump) submersible pumps, these are extra wear-resistant rubber bearings inside which the rotor turns. They show superior performance even in sandy and muddy waters.
Diaphragms and Membranes: These are used to balance the pressure inside the pump and direct the fluid flow. They are produced from rubbers with high flexibility and tear resistance.
Vibration and Shock Absorbing Mounts: By dampening the vibrations created by the pump during operation, they prevent mechanical parts from loosening and getting damaged.
What to Consider When Choosing Quality Rubber Spare Parts?
The environment in which your pump operates is the most determining factor when selecting rubber parts. While EPDM rubbers, which are safe for health, are preferred for drinking water pumps; NBR (Nitrile) or Viton rubbers, which are resistant to oil and solvents, should be used in pumps operating in wastewater, oily, or chemical-containing liquids.
The rubber part you choose must:
Be resistant to high pressure,
Have high wear and friction resistance,
Not lose its elasticity by hardening over time.
