Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of power pumps, in particular to a limiting device for preventing a rotor of a boiler feed pump from moving. When the boiler feed pump is started, the elastic piece pushes the rotor to enable a gap to be formed between the balance disc and the balance seat sleeve, and when the shaft drives the rotor to rotate at a low speed, the elastic piece pushes the rotor to enable the balance disc and the balance seat sleeve to rotate at a low speed. When the rotating speed of the rotor rises and the generated axial force is larger than the elastic force applied by the elastic piece, the balance disc moves, redundant axial force is counteracted through the pressure difference between the two sides of the balance disc, and at the moment, pressure between the balance disc and the balance seat sleeve is generated. Therefore, the balance disc is not contacted with the balance seat sleeve, and the possibility of abrasion of the balance disc is reduced.
