Product Overview
The NB 50-200/181 single-stage end-suction pump operates on a 415 V three-phase supply rated at 11 kW drive power. Built with an axial inlet port (DN 65) and top radial outlet port (DN 50), the unit connects into commercial hydronic heating networks, cooling tower water loops, and facility fluid transfer lines.
Under full duty load, the pump generates 1184 L/Min rated flow capacity and reaches a maximum head threshold of 38.94 m. The heavy volute housing uses electrocoated cast iron to resist internal corrosion. A stainless steel impeller rotor assembly with bronze wear rings drives fluid transfer. Net product weight equals 147 kg.
Drive power on the NB 50-200/181 pump comes from a 11 kW electric motor operating on a 415 V three-phase electrical connection. Full-load running current measures 21.5 Amps. The pump processes liquid media over temperatures from -25°C to 120°C under line pressures up to 16 bar. Pipe connections use DN 65 suction and DN 50 discharge flanges.
Built with an IP55 rated motor enclosure and Class F insulation, the NB 50-200/181 electric motor incorporates internal PTC thermistor sensors against overheating. Servicing is simplified by the back-pull-out structural layout, enabling complete rotor and drive removal without disconnecting suction or discharge pipe joints.
Features
- EN733 and ISO2858 dimensional compliance ensures interchangeability with other standard end-suction pumps across commercial and industrial installations.
- ATEX Zone 1, 2, 21 or 22 certification available for operation in potentially explosive atmospheres (except E-model variants).
- Integrally cast suction and discharge ports with dedicated vent and drain ports provide direct connection points without additional fittings.
- No baseplate or grouting required to maintain correct shaft alignment and vibration levels within Hydraulic Institute standards.
- Cataphoretic electrocoating on cast iron internal surfaces provides barrier protection against oxidative corrosion in hydronic circulation loops.
- Close-coupled configuration eliminates coupling alignment procedures and reduces overall installation footprint compared to long-coupled alternatives.
- Ball bearing support arrangement accommodates both radial and axial thrust loads generated during continuous duty operation at rated speed.
