There are many pump types, sizes and applications. Positive displacement: gear, screw, progressive cavity, lobe, peristaltic, diaphragm, Velocity: radial & axial flow, mixed flow, educator, etc.
With all the various pump types, sizes and applications it would be quite the feat to list the exact cost for each one in this blog. I will leave that to those who need to know.
Lobe Pump Rotary Vane Pump
Gear Pump Screw Pump
Progressive Cavity Pump Centrifugal Pump
Unscheduled maintenance and downtime is costly. Misalignment is one of the major causes of unscheduled maintenance leading to mechanical seal and bearing failures and other failures.
Bottom line, the average pump repair cost?
$12,000.

Mac,
Great information. That is certainly more than I would have guessed, but I’m not surprised. I also have to wonder how many pumps are replaced rather than repaired!
