Abstract
An arrangement for monitoring a centrifugal pump is provided. receiving the residual axial thrust of a centrifugal pump. The arrangement includes a load-relieving device configured to receive the residual axial thrust developed during pump operation, an axial bearing, and a sensor ring is associated with the axial bearing. The ring (10) is divided into segments having sensors at the segment dividing regions.
Claims8
An arrangement for absorbing axial thrust of a centrifugal pump having a relief device and an axial bearing, comprising:
- a ring configured to be arranged at the axial bearing,
- wherein
- the ring is divided into segments,
- the ring includes projections on one or both of surfaces of the ring facing in an axial direction which is parallel to a rotation axis of the axial bearing,
- adjacent segments are connected in a circumferential direction of the ring by webs having a smaller thickness in an axial direction than an axial thickness of the segments, and
- the projections are arranged a predetermined distance from one another on the segments in regions adjacent to the webs.
