Maximize the benefits

Maximize the benefits of the 3-piece screw in your Type M Fuller-Kinyon® pumps by keeping Hot Swap bearing assemblies on your shelf. Having complete bearing assemblies readily available allows for the quickest replacement and shortest possible downtime for your Fuller-Kinyon pump systems.

Complete assembly

Each Hot Swap is a fully-assembled unit complete with seals, bushings, bearings, and drive or stub shaft. The cost of each assembly is significantly less than buying the individual parts. The savings get even better when you factor in the reduced overall system downtime.

The typical removal, rebuild, and reassembly of a worn bearing unit can take up to 7-10 hours, depending on the extent of wear to the original parts. With a Hot Swap available on the shelf, you can be up and running in approximately 3 hours.

Once the new assembly is “swapped” onto the pump, you can rebuild the worn assembly when time allows.

Even with a high-quality machine like a Fuller-Kinyon pump, it’s not a question of if a bearing assembly will wear out, it’s a matter of when. That’s why those with time-critical operations keep a Hot Swap exchange unit on their shelf for immediate swap outs.

Every Hot Swap exchange bearing assembly is backed by our one-year material and workmanship warranty.

3-piece screw upgrade for Fuller-Kinyon® pumps

To take advantage of the Hot Swap bearing assemblies, your Fuller-Kinyon pump must be fitted with the 3-piece screw. In addition to the benefits of the Hot Swap assemblies the 3-piece screw design will save money in maintenance costs.

Reduce downtime and maintenance costs

We introduced the 3-piece screw design both as a conversion kit for existing
pumps and also as the standard for all new Type M pumps sold. This design splits
the pump screw into three sections which are bolted together at the balance
wheels of the screw.


On each end there is a stub shaft which is contained inside the bearing housing
assembly. The center screw section is the replaceable wear part. It is no longer
necessary to disconnect the coupling, expose the bearings and seals to a dusty
and dirty plant environment, and pry the screw out of the drive side bearings.
Furthermore, the 3-piece design requires the manipulation of fewer bolted
connections compared to the 1-piece design - about 1/3 less.


Field data has shown that a screw change out can be accomplished with two
technicians in 3-4 hours, while it may take three technicians and 6-8 hours for the
one-piece screw design. There is no need to disconnect the motor from the drive end.
