March 0161-0002-1000 Ceramic Replacement Shaft

March 0161-0002-1000 Ceramic Replacement Pump Shaft

Product Overview

The March 0161-0002-1000 is a manufacturer-designated ceramic replacement shaft for compatible March TE-10 Series magnetic drive centrifugal pumps. The shaft supports the internal impeller assembly and provides the stationary surface around which the impeller bushings operate.

March identifies this component in the parts breakdowns for TE-10K-MD and TE-10P-MD pumps. Although these pumps use different housing and impeller materials, the specified ceramic shaft is common to the documented configurations.

Key Features & Benefits

• Ceramic Construction: Matches the original shaft material specified by March.
• Impeller Support: Provides the intended support surface for the internal rotating assembly.
• Magnetic Drive Application: Designed for the liquid-containing wet end of compatible sealless pumps.
• Individual Service Part: Allows shaft replacement without purchasing the entire wet end.

Applications & Maintenance

This shaft is intended for maintenance of compatible TE-10 pumps used in approved industrial circulation and liquid-transfer systems. Shaft damage, surface wear, or cracking may affect impeller support and should be investigated before reassembly.

Inspect the impeller bushings, ceramic thrust washers, and adjacent housing components when replacing the shaft. Clean the wet end and follow the manufacturer installation procedure.

Compatibility & Selection Guidance

Listed for compatible March TE-10K-MD and TE-10P-MD assemblies. Confirm the complete pump model and original part number. This product is the ceramic shaft only, not a complete shaft-and-impeller assembly.
