How to disassemble the submersible pump motor
Submersible pumps are important equipment widely used in agricultural irrigation, industrial drainage and other fields, and the disassembly of the motor is a key step when repairing or replacing parts. This article will introduce in detail the disassembly steps, precautions and related tools of the submersible pump motor to help you complete the operation safely and efficiently.
1. Preparations before disassembly

Before disassembling the submersible pump motor, the following preparations need to be made:
| Tools/Materials | Purpose |
|---|---|
| screwdriver set | Remove the fixing screws |
| wrench | Loosen the connecting nut |
| Puller (puller) | Remove motor bearings or couplings |
| Lubricating oil | Lubricate rusted parts |
| Insulated gloves | Security protection |
2. Disassembly steps
The following are the specific steps for disassembling the submersible pump motor:
| steps | Operating Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1. Turn off power and drain the water pump | Make sure the power supply is completely disconnected and drain any remaining liquid from the pump. |
| 2. Disassemble the cable connections | After marking the cable connections, loosen the cable connectors. |
| 3. Remove the fixing screws | Use a screwdriver or wrench to remove the screws connecting the motor and pump body. |
| 4. Separate the motor and pump body | Gently pry the motor casing to avoid violent disassembly and damage to the sealing ring. |
| 5. Remove bearings or couplings | Use the puller tool to slowly pull out the bearing, taking care to protect the shaft surface. |
3. Precautions
Special attention should be paid to the following matters during disassembly:
| Things to note | Reason |
|---|---|
| Avoid forceful tapping | It may cause the motor shaft to be deformed or components to be damaged. |
| Check the condition of the sealing ring | A damaged seal can cause water leakage. |
| Record the disassembly sequence | It is convenient for reference during subsequent assembly. |
| Clean all parts | Prevent impurities from entering the inside of the motor. |
4. Common problems and solutions
The following are problems and solutions you may encounter during disassembly:
| question | Solution |
|---|---|
| The screws are rusty and cannot be removed | Spray the rust remover and let it sit for 15 minutes before trying again. |
| Bearing stuck | Use a hot air gun to heat the bearing area to about 80°C. |
| Seal adhesion | Use a plastic spudger to aid separation; avoid using metal tools. |
5. Assembly suggestions
After completing repairs or replacing parts, pay attention to the following when reassembling:
| Key points | Description |
|---|---|
| Replace with new sealing ring | Ensure waterproof performance |
| Tighten the screws evenly | Tighten in diagonal order |
| Test insulation performance | Use a megohmmeter to detect the resistance of the winding to ground |
With the above structured guidance, you can systematically complete the disassembly of the submersible pump motor. It is recommended that the first operation be performed under the guidance of professionals to ensure safety and accuracy.
