German LUKAS Hydraulik pump LUKAS Hydraulik model LUKAS Hydraulik price

LUKAS Hydraulik pumps operate by using impeller rotation to induce centrifugal motion in water. Before starting the pump, the pump casing and suction pipe must be filled with water. Then, start the motor to drive the pump shaft, causing the impeller and water to rotate at high speed. The water undergoes centrifugal motion, is thrown toward the outer edge of the impeller, and flows into the discharge pipe of the water pump through the flow channel of the volute casing.

LUKAS Hydraulik pump structure composition

The basic structure of a centrifugal pump consists of six parts: impeller, pump body, pump shaft, bearing, sealing ring, and packing box. 1) The impeller is the core part of the centrifugal pump. It has high rotational speed and high output power. The blades on the impeller play a major role. The impeller must undergo a static balance test before assembly. The inner and outer surfaces of the impeller are required to be smooth to reduce friction loss of water flow. 2) The pump body, also known as the pump casing, is the main body of the water pump. It provides support and fixation and connects to the bracket where the bearings are installed. 3) The function of the pump shaft is to connect to the motor via a coupling and transmit the motor's torque to the impeller, making it the main component for transmitting mechanical energy. 4) Sliding bearings use transparent oil as lubricant, filled to the oil level line. Too much oil will seep out along the pump shaft, while too little will cause the bearing to overheat and burn out, leading to accidents! During pump operation, the maximum bearing temperature is 85 degrees, and normal operating temperature is around 60 degrees. 5) The sealing ring is also known as the leakage reduction ring. 6) The packing box mainly consists of packing, water seal ring, packing sleeve, packing gland, and water seal pipe. The main function of the packing box is to seal the gap between the pump casing and the pump shaft, preventing water inside the pump from leaking out and air from entering the pump. This maintains the vacuum inside the water pump. When heat is generated by friction between the pump shaft and the packing, the water seal pipe supplies water to the water seal ring to cool the packing, ensuring normal pump operation. Therefore, inspection of the packing box requires special attention during routine pump operation checks. The packing should be replaced after approximately 600 hours of operation.

LUKAS Hydraulik pump maintenance

Centrifugal pump shutdown is mainly caused by mechanical seal failure. Failure mostly manifests as leakage, with the following causes: 1) Leakage at the sealing faces of the stationary and rotating rings, mainly due to: end face flatness and roughness not meeting requirements, or surface scratches; particulate matter between the end faces preventing uniform operation; improper installation or incorrect method. 2) Leakage of the compensation ring seal, mainly due to: deformation of the gland, uneven preload; incorrect installation; seal quality not meeting standards; incorrect seal selection. Actual usage indicates that the most common failure location for sealing elements is the end faces of the rotating and stationary rings. Cracking of the rotating and stationary ring end faces in centrifugal pump mechanical seals is a common failure phenomenon, with main causes including: 3) Excessive gap at the sealing face during installation, preventing the flushing fluid from removing heat generated by the friction pair in time; flushing fluid leaks through the sealing face gap, causing overheating and damage to the end faces. 4) Vaporization and expansion of the liquid medium cause the two end faces to separate due to vaporization expansion force. When the two sealing faces are forced into contact, the lubricating film is destroyed, causing overheating of the end face surface. 5) Poor lubricity of the liquid medium, combined with excessive operating pressure, causes asynchronous tracking rotation of the two sealing faces. For example, a high-speed pump with a rotational speed of 20445r/min, a sealing face center diameter of 7cm, reaches a linear velocity of up to 75 m/s after operation. If one sealing face lags and cannot track the rotation, instantaneous high temperature causes damage to the sealing face. 6) Blockage of the seal flushing fluid orifice plate or filter screen causes insufficient water flow, leading to mechanical seal failure.

LUKAS Hydraulik pump industry applications

Centrifugal pumps feature a compact structure, wide flow and head ranges, and are suitable for mildly corrosive liquids. They offer multiple control options, uniform flow, smooth operation, and low vibration, requiring no special vibration-damping foundations. Equipment installation, maintenance, and repair costs are low. They are widely used in industries such as power generation, metallurgy, coal, and building materials to transport slurries containing solid particles, such as hydraulic ash removal in thermal power plants, ore slurry transport in metallurgical concentrators, and coal slurry and heavy medium transport in coal washing plants. When a centrifugal pump operates, it must be installed on land with the suction pipe submerged in water, and priming is required for startup. Due to structural constraints, submersible slurry pumps and vertical submerged centrifugal pumps require the motor to be positioned above the water surface while the pump is submerged; therefore, they must be securely fixed, otherwise the motor may fall into the water, resulting in motor scrapping. Furthermore, since the long shaft length is generally fixed, installation and use are more cumbersome, and application scenarios are subject to many restrictions.
