XB1PC Sliding Vane Pump

Product Identity

The XB1PC Sliding Vane Pump is a shock-resistant, ductile iron pump designed for applications requiring tight installation space and high flow capacity. It is part of the X1 Series within the Iron Line of sliding vane pumps, specifically engineered to withstand thermal shock and operate reliably in demanding environments.

Materials and Construction 

The pump features a durable ductile iron body, which offers high strength and corrosion resistance. External ball bearings are isolated from the pumpage by mechanical seals, ensuring longevity and maintaining pump integrity under shock conditions. This construction is optimized for industrial settings where durability is critical.

Dimensions and Compatibility

The XB1PC Sliding Vane Pump has 1-inch NPT tapped ports, suitable for various standard piping configurations. It is compatible with standard electric motors and is adaptable for portable or fixed installations using base-mounted or NEMA C-face mounting brackets. The pump operates at speeds up to 1,750 rpm, with a flow capacity ranging from 5 to 14 gallons per minute (19-53 liters per minute).

Key Features

• Constructed from thermal shock-resistant ductile iron for durability
• External ball bearings isolated via mechanical seals to prevent pump damage
• Designed for direct coupling with standard electric motors
• Flow capacities between 5 and 14 gpm (19-53 L/min)
• Maximum operating speed of 1,750 rpm
• Handles fluid viscosities up to 100 SSU (20 cP)
• Models XB1 and XB1P are base-mounted; XF1 and XF1P have integral brackets for NEMA C-face motors
• Equipped with an integral dual-acting relief valve for excess flow return, if connected

Ideal Use Cases and Budget

The XB1PC Sliding Vane Pump is suitable for industrial fluid transfer, lubrication systems, and chemical processing where space is limited and resilience is needed. It is an ideal choice for applications requiring high flow capacity on a budget, providing reliable performance in demanding environments while maintaining cost efficiency. It is well-suited for portable setups or fixed installations in manufacturing plants, water treatment, and chemical industries where shock resistance and durability are priorities.

Included in the Package

The product ships with the pump unit, mechanical seals, and mounting brackets as specified for the model. Not included are the electric motors and connecting hardware, which must be sourced separately based on application requirements.

Care and Maintenance

The XB1PC Sliding Vane Pump requires routine inspection of seals and bearings, with mechanical seals replaced as needed. It can be cleaned with standard pump cleaning procedures and should be lubricated according to manufacturer specifications. The pump's durability benefits from regular maintenance, ensuring optimal operational performance over its service life.
