VSX Groutless Structural-Steel Base Plate

Design Features

Base plates must be designed with sufficient rigidity to allow the pump and motor shafts to accept the loads without resulting in undue stress, deflection or vibration. This avoids premature wear on the coupling, bearings and mechanical seals and avoids early failure of the equipment. By utilizing advanced Finite Element Analysis and design, a modern state of the art base plate can be provided.

When compared against other styles of base plates commoningly found on the market today, the VSX welded steel baseplate provides superior base stress and frequency capbilities, designed in accordance to ANSI/H.I. 1.3-2000.

• Typical rolled-channel base: the maximum amount of base plate stress reaches 41600 PSI.
• Typical fabricated-rail base: the maximum amount of base plate design stress reaches 28700 PSI.
• VSX structural-steel base plate: the maximum amount of base stress reaches 22900 PSI.
