Precision from Start to Finish: How a Cornell Pump Shaft is Made
At Cornell Pump, shaft production is a critical part of ensuring long-lasting, high-efficiency pump performance. We manufacture shafts in-house—from raw material to finished component—with exceptional accuracy and consistency. This is a strength of our pump series, and benefit of purchasing genuine Cornell replacement parts. Currently, we precisely build more 300 shaft versions to address the reliable and robust use in our pumps, some weighing many 100s of lbs because they are robust and overbuilt to withstand the rigorous of difficult applications.
