Abstract
A method for the positioning of a cover disk with respect to an open impeller of a pump arranged in a pump housing. An adjustment bolt is first screwed so far into a threaded bore of the cover disk until it comes into contact with the pump housing. An identifier is subsequently applied which indicates a position of a first marking of the adjustment bolt. The adjustment bolt is then screwed in further until a second marking reaches the identifier. The described steps are repeated for at least one further adjustment bolt.

A method for the positioning of a cover disk with respect to an open impeller of a pump arranged in a pump housing, the method comprising:
- positioning the cover disk and the pump housing with respect to one another such that the cover disk comes into contact with the pump housing at the impeller and such that a predetermined spacing only has to be set in an axial direction between the cover disk and the impeller for reaching an end position of the cover disk;
- screwing a first adjustment bolt into a first threaded bore of the cover disk until a bolt end of the first adjustment bolt comes into contact with a contact surface of the pump housing, with the cover disk continuing to contact the impeller;
- applying an identifier at the cover disk or at the pump housing, the identifier identifying a position of a first marking of the first adjustment bolt;
- screwing in the first adjustment bolt until a second marking of the first adjustment bolt reaches the identifier such that the predetermined spacing between the cover disk and the impeller is thereby set;
- screwing a second adjustment bolt into a second threaded bore of the cover disk until a bolt end of the second adjustment bolt comes into contact with the contact surface of the pump housing, with the cover disk continuing to contact the impeller;
- applying a second identifier at the cover disk or at the pump housing, the second identifier identifying a position of a first marking of the second adjustment bolt;
- and
- screwing in the second adjustment bolt until a second marking of the second adjustment bolt reaches the second identifier such that the predetermined spacing between the cover disk and the impeller is thereby set,
- the first and second adjustment bolts having like threads comprising first and second markings made as notches at a periphery of the respective adjustment bolt and have different shapes and wherein the first and second adjustment bolts being arranged in a similar manner with respect to one another at the first and second adjustment bolts.
6 more elements
A pump comprising:
- a pump housing having an open impeller arranged therein and having a cover disk for the impeller, the cover disk having at least two threaded bores in which a respective adjustment bolt is arranged by which, starting from a contact of the cover disk at the impeller, a predetermined spacing between the cover disk and the impeller is set, with bolt ends of the adjustment bolts only contacting contact surfaces of the pump housing on contact of the cover disk at the impeller and with the cover disk or the pump housing having identifiers at least during the setting of the predetermined spacing between the cover disk and the impeller, the identifiers identifying a position of a first marking of the adjustment bolts on contact of the cover disk at the impeller and identifying a position of a second marking of the adjustment bolts with the predetermined spacing between the cover disk and the impeller, with the adjustment bolts having like threads, the adjustment bolts furthermore comprising first and second makings made as notches at a periphery of a respective adjustment bolt and have different shapes, and the first and second markings being arranged in a similar manner with respect to one another at the adjustment bolts.
