Where to buy connector clamp btwn elec motor and gear pump

[mbryner]

Hi guys,

I bought a motor-pump combo and centrifuge for WMO/WVO processing from an online place.   The motor kept overheating so I sent it back and I got its replacement back already.   Inadvertently I sent back the connector clamp between the pump and motor.   The motor is a 1/3 hp Marathon and the gear pump is a carbonator.   I'm not sure if it's a standard connection, but where would I get this?   Looked at Grainger and don't see it.   Any ideas?   (I have just sent another e-mail to the supplier of the pump and motor, but I already called him about a week ago and no response yet.)

Well, I can find the exact motor I have on Grainger but not the connector.   Part of the problem is that I don't know the terminology.  At least this link will show you the motor and the connection I'm looking for:

And here's the gear pump, with the little collar piece I need on it!   But what is that collar/clamp?

There are a bunch of ways to couple the two together here is a page from grainger's cat that might help

Thanks, but it didn't.   I spent a while on the phone to Grainger.   They finally found a part #, but don't have it in stock.   Arrrgggghhh!

Nevermind, the guy contacted me and said he was sending a replacement.   Thanks to anyone who read this now useless thread!

Now that the problem is solved, some info in case someone else comes along. Sorry I'm late.

Your key word was carbonate. Food industry=Sanitary connection.
Anything that was ever meant to be in contact with human injestables will use these type of clamps.
Think home brewery.
