To provide a
water resistant type outer bearing device for a vertical shaft pump which can prevent exterior water from invading.SOLUTION: A
water resistant type outer bearing device 43 includes bearings 47, 48 rotatably supporting a rotation shaft 15, a bearing housing 51 having a bearing chamber 50 inside thereof in which the bearings 47, 48 are accommodated, a bearing cover 52 covering the bearing chamber 50, a journal 62 fixed to an outer
peripheral surface of the rotation shaft 15, an adjustment nut 60 in contact with an upper face of the journal 62, a nut cover 200 accommodating the adjustment nut 60, a first seal 201 for sealing a gap between the bearing cover 52 and an outer
peripheral surface of the journal 62, a second seal 202 for sealing a gap between the nut cover 200 and the outer
peripheral surface of the rotation shaft 15, and a third seal 203 for sealing a gap between the nut cover 200 and the journal 62. The adjustment nut 60 is screwed on a thread part 64 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the rotation shaft 15.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 30
