The Xylem-Bell & Gossett 185260LF Bearing Assembly with Seal Kit is an essential component of the HVAC systems. Designed with a 5/8” shaft diameter and which makes it rotate smoothly and offer mechanical efficiency. This part fits around the pump’s impeller and to minimize contact between impeller and other parts, reducing damage and ensuring the right positioning of the pump. The included seal kit used to avoid leakage and improve the system its service durability. It is widely applied in hydronic systems and is used for regulating temperature and structures.
The Xylem-Bell & Gossett 185260LF is a bearing assembly for in-line circulator pumps in Series PD and Series 60. Because it lowers friction and permits the shaft to rotate smoothly, it is essential to the efficient operation of these pumps. designed for use in Xylem-Bell & Gossett Series PD and Series 60 in-line circulator pumps. It's a crucial component responsible for supporting the rotating shaft and preventing leaks.

Signs of a Faulty 185260LF Bearing Assembly Xylem-Bell & Gossett:
Here are some red flags to watch out for that might indicate a malfunctioning Xylem-Bell & Gossett 185260LF bearing assembly in your circulator pump:
Pump Performance:
Decreased flow rate: The pump might not be able to circulate the fluid as efficiently as usual, leading to reduced hot water pressure, colder rooms in heating systems, or slower cooling in chilled water systems.
Increased noise: Listen for unusual noises coming from the pump, such as grinding, squealing, or banging. These sounds can indicate worn-out bearings or misalignment.
Vibrations: Excessive vibrations emanating from the pump can also be a sign of bearing issues.
Pump overheating: The pump might get hotter than usual due to increased friction from a faulty bearing.
Operational Issues:
Leaks: Notice any leaks of oil or other fluids around the pump, particularly near the bearing housing. This could be due to a worn seal or damaged bearing.
Frequent tripping of the circuit breaker: The pump might trip the circuit breaker more frequently than usual due to increased power consumption caused by a faulty bearing.
Pump failure: In severe cases, the pump might completely fail to operate due to a seized or broken bearing.
Visual Cues:
Physical damage: On the bearing housing, keep an eye out for any obvious deterioration indications like rust, dents, or cracks
Discoloration: Discoloration or burn marks on the housing or surrounding components can indicate overheating due to bearing problems.
Additional Indicators:
Increased energy consumption: The pump Bearing Assembly185260LF might require more energy to operate due to the inefficiency caused by a faulty bearing.
Reduced pump lifespan: A failing bearing can shorten the lifespan of the entire pump if not addressed promptly.
