Abstract

See full text

A bearing assembly, a pump with a bearing assembly and a method of lubricating a pump bearing using a bearing assembly. The bearing assembly includes a bearing carrier and a bearing housing that are rotatably connected to one another to permit axial adjustment of the pump's impeller or other fluid-conveying apparatus, as well as variable rotational positioning of the bearing carrier relative to a pump housing. Numerous lubricant access apertures placed around the periphery of the bearing carrier facilitate lubricant passage from a connection on the bearing housing to the bearings, regardless of the rotational position of the carrier relative to the bearing housing or other pump structure.
