Small Pump Impellers

04/22/2008 11:03 AM

I've been looking around for a supplier of small pump parts. Specifically I am imterested in centrifugal pump impellers made of carbon steel no bigger than 4" in diameter.

These will not be put in service and will be coated, so that they are used for displays.

I wonder if anyone here has any good sources for ordering these by the dozen. Of course the expense is always an issue, so a US supplier might be more convenient.

Any hints or links welcome.

Kindly,

Rob

If the impellers are only for display, why not cast some yourself out of plastic. Pick out an impeller from a supplier, and cast them yourself, or farm out the casting. You could contact a pump manufacturer and beg for some defective ones. Or some returned warranty ones. Good luck.

Try Turbocharger Shaft Wheel Assemblies - ideal and they would not need to be coated.

This site looks like it should prove useful, if not for this project, for the next.

Thanks!
