Gear pumps KF 2.5 ... 630

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides comprehensive technical specifications and operational guidelines for the KF series gear pumps, covering sizes from 2.5 to 630. These pumps are designed for diverse industrial applications, offering various configurations to meet different operational needs.
Construction and Function: KF series gear pumps are external gear pumps based on the positive displacement principle. They transport fluid through gear shaft rotation and are self-priming, although high viscosities may require upstream pressure. Key features include the necessity for lubricating fluids, operation in a specified direction to prevent seal damage, and the inclusion of a safety valve to avoid overpressure.
Valve Options: The pumps can be equipped with different valve options, such as D-valves for pressure relief and T-valves for heat dissipation. Universal valves U and U2 are available for specific sizes, ensuring consistent flow direction regardless of rotation changes.
Shaft Seals: Various sealing options are available, including single and double radial lip-type seals, mechanical seals, and magnetic couplings, chosen based on application requirements like fluid type and pressure conditions.
Variants and Options: The pumps offer modular design flexibility, allowing for various configurations and expansions. Noise-optimized versions are available for media with increased air content, reducing noise levels without affecting performance.
Direction of Rotation and Flow: The direction of pumping is determined by the pump shaft's rotation. Specific configurations allow for changes in flow direction or consistent flow regardless of rotation.
Technical Data: Detailed technical specifications are provided, including materials, nominal sizes, mounting positions, and operational parameters such as working pressure, speed, and viscosity ranges. Information on corrosion protection and filtration recommendations is also included.
Type Key: A type key is provided to identify specific pump configurations, including product type, nominal size, direction of rotation, mounting type, sealing type, and valve options.
Conclusion: The KF series gear pumps are versatile and customizable, suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. Proper selection of components and configurations ensures optimal performance and longevity.
Specifications: The document outlines specifications for gear pumps KF 2.5 to 630, including permissible differential pressure, speed, viscosity, filtration, media temperature, and ambient temperature. The viscosity range is from 1.4 to 100,000 mm²/s, with higher viscosities available upon request. Recommended filtration is ≤ 60 µm.
Type Key and Components: The type key includes details on direction of rotation, mounting, housing material, and sealing types. Pumps are available with various universal valves and mounting options, including DIN flange and mounting angles. Housing materials include grey cast iron and spheroidal cast iron.
Sealing Types: Various sealing types are available, including single and double radial lip-type seals, mechanical seals, and options without shaft seals. Special numbers are provided for different sealing materials and configurations.
Technical Data: Detailed technical data for each nominal size is provided, including geometric displacement, working pressure, speed range, permissible radial forces, and sound levels. The data includes specific values for different operating conditions and configurations.
Working Characteristics: This section includes permissible differential pressure and temperatures for various bearing and sealing materials. It also outlines requirements for vacuum operation and discharge flow rates at different speeds and pressures.
Discharge Flow and Drive Power: Tables provide discharge flow and required drive power for different speeds and pressures, highlighting the impact of viscosity and pressure on performance. Recommendations are given for selecting drive motor output and adjusting for viscosity variations.
Additional Notes: The document includes notes on error margins for flow rates, the impact of viscosity on performance, and recommendations for noise-optimized versions. It also provides guidance on installation and operation under specific conditions.
Procedures:
  • Power Calculation: A sample calculation is provided to determine pump power consumption, considering viscosity and speed.
  • Installation Guidelines: The document specifies permissible mounting positions and environmental conditions, including temperature ranges for different materials (NBR and FKM).
Dimensions and Weights: Detailed dimensions and weights are provided for various pump sizes, including configurations with and without valves, and different connection types (SAE and pipe thread). Information on bellhousing and coupling dimensions for different IEC motor sizes is included.
Key Recommendations:
  • Ensure the drive motor output is 15% higher than the calculated power requirement.
  • Consider viscosity adjustments for accurate flow and power calculations.
  • Follow ATEX guidelines for safe operation in explosive environments.
Materials: Components are made from Steel S355J2G3 or equivalent and Stainless Steel 1.4404 or equivalent. The O-ring material has a hardness of 90 Shore A.
Applications: The gear pumps are suitable for low and high-pressure applications in lubricating oil, hydraulic systems, process and test bench applications, fuel, and metering systems. The document also mentions flow measurement devices and valves for various industrial applications.
Product Portfolio: The document highlights KRACHT GmbH's product offerings, including gear pumps, flow measurement devices, and valves for different applications in the chemical industry, hydraulics, and construction machinery.

1 End cover 2 Plain bearing bushes 3 Gear unit 4 Housing 5 Shaft seal 6 Drive shaft end KF series gear pumps are external gear pumps that operate according to the positive displacement principle. Here, the fluid is transported from the suction to the discharge end by rotation of the two gear shafts in the tooth gaps along the housing wall. The geometric displacement volume Vg is displaced per wheel revolution. A value that is stated in technical documentation as the nominal volume Vgn to identify the pump size. Gear pumps are in principle self-priming - extremely high viscosities may require...

Valve options I Valves that can be attached to gear pumps Pressure relief valves D15/D25 Gear pumps of the KF series can optionally be equipped with a directly controlled pressure relief valve (D-valve D15/D25) to protect the pump from impermissibly high-pressure peaks. The valve has an adjustment facility within the permitted pressure range and is designed for a brief overflow of the discharge flow. Special pressure relief and pressure control valves (SPV, DV B, DV R, T) with an external outflow are available for permanent discharge of a volume flow. The KF gear pumps can be optionally equipped...

Variants / Options I Noise optimized for medias with increased air percentage The noise optimized pumps in the KF series are available from nominal size 4 and are designed for conveying for medias with increased air content. Special measures prevent the otherwise normally increased noise present in auriferous gear oil. The noise levels do not exceed or only barely exceed the measurements with non-auriferous oils. Also, there is no noise spectrum shift to higher, unpleasant frequencies. In applications without auriferous portions in the media, it is not recommended to use this version as it will...
