SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REDUCING VIBRATION IN A FLUID PUMP

摘要

A system for dampening vibration in a pump includes a PTO-driven pump having a prime-mover side and a pump-side. The system includes a bulkhead interposed between the prime-mover side and the pump-side, the bulkhead having an opening therein. The system includes a vibration dampening plate having a thickness of at least 12 mm, where the vibration dampening plate is positioned between a bulkhead and a pump-side bearing flange or a prime-mover side bearing flange. The pump-side bearing flange or a prime-mover side bearing flange is coupled to the bulkhead at the opening therein. The system includes a bearing shaft extending through the opening in the bulkhead, the vibration dampening plate, the pump-side bearing flange, and the prime-mover side bearing flange.
