Abstract
A pump assembly includes a vertical pump arranged in a canister. The vertical pump includes a pump column disposed between a pump head and a pump bowl in an axial direction. The pump is arranged in the pump column and is configured to pump a fluid a column inlet at the pump bowl to a column outlet at the pump head. The pump column is supported so as to be stabilized by at least two damping arms disposed on an outer surface of the pump column, and each damping arm has an support end to support a respective damping arm on an inner surface of the canister in a radial direction perpendicular to the axial direction. Each support end is movable independently from each other support end with respect to the axial direction.
