Abstract
A pump station comprising includes a motor and pump arrangement, a tank for holding a liquid; and a frame for supporting the tank generally above the motor and pump arrangement. The motor and pump arrangement includes a motor having a drive shaft rotatable about a first longitudinal axis and a pump having a drive shaft rotatable about a second longitudinal axis oriented parallel to the first longitudinal axis. A drive mechanism interconnects the drive shaft of the motor and the drive shaft of the pump. A mounting assembly is provided and includes a lower portion mounted to a portion of one of the motor and the pump; and an upper portion to which the other of the motor and the pump is mounted. The lower portion and the upper portion are configured and selectively movable in such a manner that the drive shaft of the motor and the drive shaft of the pump, during translation movement relative to each other, are constrained from rotational movement relative to each other.
