Technology

Which outcome occurs when tight stack-up tolerances are not maintained in the assembly of a multi-stage centrifugal pump?

A)Reduced net positive suction head
B)Increased impeller cavitation likelihood
C)Elevated bearing temperature and wear
D)Decreased hydraulic efficiency overall

💡 Explanation

Elevated bearing temperatures and increased wear occur because misalignment resulting from tolerance stack-up stresses the bearings, rather than distributing load evenly. Therefore, bearing failure becomes more likely, rather than improved pumping performance during operation.
