Submersible motors were primarily designed to run vertically. In case of horizontal or oblique installation, the motor must be rigidly aligned with the pump and securely mounted to avoid any load on the shaft and bearing and avoid any vibration that could damage the motor. Submersible motors suitable for horizontal or oblique installation can be found on our technical documentation. The Rovatti Pompe Customer Service is always available for any further need (info@rovatti.it - tel. +39 0522 66 50 00).
