Emtec Pumps

EMTEC pumps are designed to withstand the harsh environment of high pressure machine tool coolant service. Special hardening techniques produce wear resistance within the housing bores offering cost effective pumping.

Balance diameters at the inlet end of the idler rotors provide hydraulic balance eliminating thrust loads due to differential pressure. These diameters are grooved to better pass contaminant, are hardened to resist wear and rotate within hardened journals. Like the idler rotors, the power rotor (drive shaft) includes a hardened and specially grooved balance piston and hardened journal. It provides the counteracting force to eliminate thrust loads on the shaft due to differential pressure. It is extra long to minimize flow loss. Leakage crossing the balance piston provides cooling flow to the mechanical shaft seal before being returned to pump inlet. In the case where the pump is mounted vertically within the coolant supply tank, the shaft seal can be eliminated for further cost effectiveness. Leakage across the balance piston is then allowed to escape back to the coolant supply by leaving a seal chamber exit tap unplugged. A lip seal on the pump side of the ball bearing prevents coolant splash from washing out the bearing grease.
