Frequently Asked Questions
What is a "bare-shaft pump end"?
A bare-shaft pump end is the Cat pump without a motor, ready for OEM integration. You select the motor (electric, gas, hydraulic) and coupling separately. Bare-shaft pumps are sold by frame class and displacement; confirm shaft dimensions and rotation direction against your motor before ordering.
How do I convert a belt-drive Cat pump to direct-drive?
Direct-drive conversion typically requires (a) a direct-drive replacement pump end with a hollow shaft matched to your motor's C-face shaft, or (b) a solid-shaft adapter with a flexible coupling and bell housing. Share your motor frame size and Cat pump model with ForeverPure for a conversion kit recommendation.
What motor size do I need for a Cat Pumps direct-drive pump?
Motor sizing depends on flow, pressure, and mechanical efficiency. Use Cat Pumps' standard formula: HP = (GPM × PSI) / 1460 (about 85% efficient). For a 5 GPM × 3000 PSI pump: 5 × 3000 / 1460 ≈ 10.3 HP — size to the next standard motor up (15 HP). ForeverPure can recommend the motor + pump pairing.
Do you supply complete pump-and-motor packages?
Yes — complete packages with Cat pump end, NEMA electric motor, baseplate, flexible coupling, and guard are available on request. Share your application details (flow, pressure, voltage, phase, service factor) for a complete package quote.
Can I rebuild a used Cat pump end and reinstall it?
Yes — Cat Pumps publishes detailed service manuals, and complete rebuild kits (seals, valves, v-packings) are available for every frame. ForeverPure can supply the rebuild kit and the service manual — rebuilding is straightforward with standard shop tools and is often the most economical path for lightly-worn pumps.
