Ball Bearings
Ball bearings support and align the impeller and input shafts for smooth
operation. They are the most common anti-friction bearings used and offer
a major contribution to the life of a fire pump.
2.5
GEARBOX OPTION
Hale pumps can be equipped with an all ball bearing-type gearbox, utilizing
helical gears to reduce operating noise. To accommodate a wide range of
engines, this speed increasing gearbox is available in a variety of ratios.
Hale pumps also feature, as standard equipment, a gearbox cooling tube to
maintain proper operating temperatures.
2.6
PEDESTAL MOUNTING OPTION
Hale pump ends are also available with an all ball bearing-type pedestal
mount between the pump and the engine bell housing (flywheel) adapter.
