Crankmechanism
Power end is the same widely used for API 674 Titano and PTO/PQO/PSO Reciprocating Plunger Pumps and its characteristics are:
-
low stress levels in all components;
-
crankshaft ends supported by axially self centred roller bearings;
-
thin shell, bimetallic, antifriction type connecting rod bearings;
-
spherical joint between crosshead and plunger to avoid bending loads and misalignments;
-
a simple and safe hydrodynamic lubrication system with no need of
external cooling, feed or reservoir for the Titano Series and forced
lubrication for the PTO/PQO/PSO Series.
