What can cause vibrations leading to breakage in pumps?

Incorrect installation can result in misalignment or improper mounting of pumps, leading to vibrational issues during operation. When components are not correctly positioned, there can be excess friction or uneven forces acting on the pump, causing it to vibrate excessively. This vibration can wear down bearings, shafts, and other parts, ultimately leading to breakage or failure of the pump system.

While low water supply, high pressure, and changes in temperature can influence pump performance and efficiency, they are not primarily responsible for inducing the vibrations associated with breakage in the same way that incorrect installation does. Low water supply may cause cavitation, high pressure can stress the system, and temperature changes can affect the viscosity of fluids, but these factors do not directly cause installation-related vibrations leading to physical damage in pumps.
