Motor Shaft Direction

The motor shaft is magnetically coupled to the drive shaft of the pump. Both shafts will turn in the same direction.
Because the gear pump is bi-directional, the pump shaft can turn in either direction to produce flow in either direction.
The direction of rotation of the motor shaft (same as that of the pump drive shaft) will determine which side of the pump
is the inlet (suction side) and which side is the outlet (discharge side). For the Poly-Guard Series pumps, the flow direction
will be as shown below:
