INTRODUCTION

This project is called water pump. Water pump is useful in transferring fluid. They are
commonly used to increase water pressure for residential or commercial purposes. They are used
to transport water and increase the pressure by the energy used by them. Water pumps are
applicable in almost every sector such as household, agriculture, manufacturing etc. They can be
used for several purposes ranging from small to large-scale.

We designed a water pump that contains many components such as pulleys specifically
pump and motor pulleys, and motors specifically tail motor, stator, rotor, disk motor, strand motor,
platform motor, motor for the tail cover and motor for the washer. Water pump pulleys are
designed to be driven by a drive belt or serpentine belt. Without a pulley, a water pump will not
rotate unless it is driven by the timing belt, timing chain, or an electric motor. Most of the
centrifugal pumps are powered by an induction motor. The induction motors are the most
commonly used for the water booster pumps. Water pump motors depend on its size and use. Rotor
could be either diecast or built with copper rods and fabricated while motors stator will be wound
according to the designed speed (RPM) of the pump and its Horse power requirement.

Other components in this project involve shaft (driving and driven shafts), key (motor and
pump keys), screws (ISO 4014 -M24 x 150 x 60 -C Screw and ISO 7411 M30 x 120 -72 WC
Screw 2) and plates. A shaft is a rotating machine element, usually circular in cross section, which
is used to transmit power from one part to another, or from a machine which produces power to a
machine which absorbs power. A key is a machine element used to connect a rotating machine
element to a shaft. The key prevents relative rotation between the two parts and may enable torque
transmission. And a screw is a metal device for fastening materials together. It consists of a shank
with sharp threads that cut their own thread in a material as the screw is rotated with a screwdriver.

In this project, ISO Spur Gear 4.5 M, 11T 20PA 50.8FW – S11A75H50L36.0N is also
used. Gears are mechanisms that mesh together via teeth and are used to transmit rotary motion
from one shaft to another. Other components are pump, pin, sleeve, clog and belts. Some of the
parts in this machine are housing seal, oil seal, screw holder, gear washer, machine house and lag
sleeve.
