This end suction pump utilizes a cast iron casing with a center-line discharge and bronze construction for the impeller and shaft sleeve. It incorporates a dry shaft design that isolates the stainless steel shaft from the circulating fluid, effectively mitigating corrosion. The internal configuration includes a ceramic seat mechanical seal with EPT rubber, rated for 125 PSI. Hydraulically balanced to ensure stable operation, the bronze impeller mounts to the shaft with a key and integrates with a bearing housing containing permanently lubricated ball bearings. This assembly is engineered for installation on a structural steel base and includes pressure tappings on both the suction and discharge connections for monitoring system performance.
The 10 HP premium efficiency TEFC motor operates at 3450 RPM, utilizes Aegis grounding, and accepts a 380-460V / 3PH power supply, resulting in a DOE PEI rating of 0.45. 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. Parallel pumping and multi-pump control functions are supported by this control architecture. The drive ships unmounted for customer wall installation without a bracket, harness, or vibration mounts.
