VSK vertical pump: cantilever shaft with no submerged guides
The VSK is the simplest vertical pump in the range. The pump casing works submerged in the tank, the motor sits on the fastening plate and the shaft is cantilevered, with no connections and no shaft guide system. With no bushings in contact with the liquid, it suits fluids that contain solids or are moderately abrasive. It is made of polypropylene (PP) or PVC, no metal part comes into contact with the pumped liquid, and maintenance is very easy.
Like all tank-mounted vertical pumps it has no suction line to prime: liquid reaches the impeller through the dip tube. A cantilever shaft is by nature used for limited immersion lengths; for deeper tanks the range offers the VGA with a ceramic shaft end guide and the VL/VLK with bearing support. It is often the first choice when an acid pump has to be mounted directly on the tank edge.

- Lifting acidic water from collection sumps
- Drawing solutions with suspended solids from open tanks
- Transfer in neutralisation tanks
- Water treatment plants in the chemical and steel industries
Frequently asked questions
Why does the VSK have no guide bushings?
The shaft is designed to run cantilevered, supported only by the motor. With no submerged bushings there are no sliding parts exposed to the liquid, which is an advantage when the fluid carries particles.
Does the VSK need priming?
No. The casing is submerged, so the pump always has a flooded inlet and there is no suction line to fill before start-up.
VSK, VGA or VL: how do I choose?
Tank depth, fluid and temperature decide. The VSK covers the simplest installations, the VGA adds a ceramic guide, and the VL/VLK is built for longer lengths with bearing support and a double guide above 2000 mm.
