dc.description.abstract	Pine Bend, MN, 12x10, 9 stage vertical can pump, 600 hp, 1780 rpm A new smaller, higher efficiency motor was installed to replace the old motor and shortly after numerous mechanical seal failures occurred. The motor is a solid shaft motor that is connected to the pump with a rigid coupling. The motor hub is connected to the motor shaft with a split ring. On startup it was observed that the pump shaft would move about 3/8 inch upward and the mechanical seal would leak.	en
