This base-mounted end suction pump comprises a cast iron casing with center-line discharge and a bronze impeller. The assembly integrates a dry shaft design that prevents contact between the circulating fluid and the stainless steel shaft, which is protected by a replaceable bronze shaft sleeve. For pressure containment and seal performance, the unit utilizes a mechanical seal featuring a ceramic seat and EPT rubber. This configuration maintains an operational pressure of 125 PSI without a wear ring, facilitating maintenance through a bearing housing that allows for the removal of permanently lubricated, sealed-for-life ball bearings without disturbing the system piping.
This assembly utilizes a 10 HP premium efficiency TEFC motor operating at 1750 RPM with Aegis grounding, powered by a 380-460V three phase supply, achieving a DOE PEI of 0.44. The 'S' in the SCI series denotes Taco's advanced Self-Sensing technology, which eliminates remote sensors and field wiring by using internal mathematical algorithms to calculate system resistance and automate variable flow. The included VFD is configured with a fused disconnect without bypass and holds an enclosure NEMA 12 / IP 55 rating. The drive ships unmounted for customer wall installation without a bracket, harness, or vibration mounts.
