Replacement Rotors for Pumps

Time to Read: 2m 0s

Used in rotor pumps, rotors are gears that direct the flow of fluids through the pump. The rotors dictate the vacuum and discharge pressure. They are especially found in positive displacement pumps and rotary pumps, which rely on the rotor to create fluid flow.

Replacing a worn rotor is necessary to ensure your pump functions at its highest capacity. Read more about rotor replacement below, or contact Springer Parts® for more information.

Functions & Uses of Rotors

Rotors are named as such for their rotational qualities. In positive displacement pumps, the rotation of the rotor displaces the liquid in varying volumes, which draws the fluid in from an inlet and expels it towards the pump’s outlet.

In rotary or progressive cavity pumps, the rotor spins inside an internal cavity. The rotor creates a seal between itself and the pump, trapping liquid and moving it from the inlet to the outlet.
No matter the pump type, rotors are used for rotational processes and aid significantly in progressing the liquid flow throughout the pump. While the pump and rotor can each vary in size, speed, and design, the general application of rotors is to influence the fluid flow. 

Rotor Applications & Industries

Rotors are found in industries that utilize positive displacement pumps and rotary pumps, which include but are not limited to:
  • Oil & Gas
  • Chemical processing
  • Food and beverage processing
  • Pharmaceuticals
  • Wastewater treatment
The correct rotor for a specific application will vary based on pump design and industry.

Benefits of Direct Replacement Rotors

Rotors can become worn down over time, as they aid in the consistent flow of liquid and are constantly rotating. As such, routine maintenance is necessary to ensure the rotors and pumps are functioning correctly. Replacing a rotor is essential for worn-down rotors to keep your pump functioning at maximum capacity.
