Product Details

The Roper 2AM08 Gear Pump is a positive displacement gear pump. This self-priming pump has cast iron housing, ductile iron gears and drive shafts, and steel idler shafts. The impeller is made from ductile iron and the pump has a Buna-N mechanical shaft seal. The bearings are water-resistant and can be made from bronze, iron, or carbon as needed by the buyer. The pump operates at standard motor speeds and can be either flange or foot mounted. Lubrication isn't needed as the internal bearings are lubricated by any fluid that runs through the pump.
