Belt Drive Plunger Pump

The right pressure washer pump can make a world of difference in performance and overall durability. From CAT Pumps, the 7CP6170.3400 is an excellent choice. It's a high temperature, belt drive plunger pump using a 3/4" inlet and a 1/2" discharge. The housing of the pump is made of brass. What exactly is a belt drive pump? Well, a belt-driven pump is a type of pump where the drive system uses a belt and pulley instead of being directly connected to the motor. The belt attaches to both the motor and the pump, allowing power to transfer smoothly and reducing vibration. This setup helps the pump run cooler and last longer because less stress is put on the components. The alternative is a direct drive pump. A direct drive pump is a type of pressure washer pump where the pump is mounted directly onto the motor or engine. This means the pump shaft and the motor shaft are connected, so they turn at the same speed. Because there are no belts or pulleys, these pumps are usually more compact and have fewer moving parts.

Other specifications to know about the 7CP6170.3400 include a 2000 PSI maximum and a flow rate maximum of 11 GPM. Additionally, the maximum speed measures 1450 RPM. High pressure PTFE seals are in place for added performance and to resist wear and tear over time.
