Multi-stage centrifugal pump assembly (shaft)
With the multi-stage centrifugal pump assembly, the connection between the motor shaft ( 7 ) and the pump shaft ( 9 ) is effected by way of a thread ( 26, 27 ), which joins the fits ( 31, 34 ) lying therebehind, between a pocket hole bore ( 24 ) in the pump-side end of the motor shaft ( 7 ) and the motor-side end of the pump shaft ( 9 ). Thereby, a transition fit ( 32 ) is provided in the region of the bearing ( 11 ), and a press fit 34 in the free region therebehind.

a bearing ( 11 ) for mounting the motor shaft ( 7 ) and the pump shaft ( 9 ), the bearing being arranged in a bearing carrier ( 5 ) provided in a connection region of the motor housing and the pump housing, wherein the pump shaft ( 9 ) comprises an outer thread ( 27 ) on or near to the motor-side end of the pump shaft, the outer thread meshing into an inner thread ( 26 ) of the pocket hole ( 24 ), a first fit section ( 31 ) of the motor shaft ( 7 ) is spaced from the outer thread in a direction toward the impellers, and, a different second fit section ( 34 ) of the motor shaft ( 7 ) is spaced from the first fit section and spaced from the outer thread in a direction toward the impellers, the first fit section and the second fit section are within the pocket hole ( 24 ).
2. The centrifugal pump assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the first fit section is a transition fit.
3. The centrifugal pump assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the second fit section is a press fit.
4. The centrifugal pump assembly according to claim 1 , further comprising a guide peg ( 25 ) provided at the motor-side end of the pump shaft ( 9 ) and seated with play in a correspondingly formed end of the pocket hole ( 24 ).
5. The centrifugal pump assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the pump shaft ( 9 ) runs in a conically widening manner from the outer thread ( 27 ) to the first fit section.
6. The centrifugal pump assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the pump shaft ( 9 ), in a region between the first fit section and the second fit section, has a smaller diameter than in the first fit section and the second fit section.
7. The centrifugal pump assembly according to claim 6 , wherein the pump shaft ( 9 ) is provided with peripheral lubrication grooves ( 35 ) in a region of the second fit section.
8. The centrifugal pump assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the first fit section ( 31 ) is arranged in a region of the motor shaft ( 7 ), which is surrounded by the bearing ( 11 ).
9. The centrifugal pump assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the second fit section ( 34 ) is arranged in a region of the motor shaft ( 7 ) on a side of the bearing ( 11 ) towards the pump-side end.
10. The centrifugal pump assembly according to claim 1 , further comprising ring ( 16 ) arranged on the pump shaft ( 9 ) directly in front of the pump-side end of the motor shaft ( 7 ) and encompassing the pump shaft ( 9 ) in a tight manner and arranged within a free space ( 19 ) of the bearing carrier ( 5 ), the free space being conductively connected to the surroundings via a channel ( 20 ) connected at the bottom.
11. The centrifugal pump assembly according to claim 10 , wherein the slinger ring ( 16 ) has a roughly h-shaped cross section, and is held in a locking manner with a positive fit by a bead ( 17 ) formed at the pump-side end of the motor shaft ( 7 ).
12. The centrifugal pump assembly according to claim 10 , wherein the slinger ring ( 16 ) is formed of plastic and is biased with respect to the pump shaft ( 9 ).
13. The centrifugal pump assembly according to claim 10 , further comprising a stationary sealing ring ( 22 ) provided in the bearing carrier ( 5 ) between the bearing ( 11 ) and the slinger ring ( 16 ), and radially sealed with respect to the bearing carrier ( 5 ) by an O-ring ( 23 ), the stationary sealing ring runs sealingly in a biased manner on an axial side of an inner bearing ring for the bearing, which co-rotates with the shaft ( 7 , 9 ).
14. The centrifugal pump assembly according to claim 13 , wherein the stationary sealing ring ( 22 ) is arranged within a free space ( 21 ), which is conductively connected to the surroundings via the channel ( 20 ).
