OH1 & OH2: Centerline-mounted pumps designed to handle thermal expansion.

• Accelerometer mounting pads are now mandatory on bearing housings (both drive and non-drive ends).
• Velocity limits: Unfiltered velocity at maximum continuous speed must not exceed 3.0 mm/s RMS (reduced from 4.5 mm/s in field acceptance testing).
• Transient analysis: During pump startup and shutdown, a vibration spike is now permitted only for 2 seconds (previously 5 seconds).

VS (Vertical): Vertical suspended pumps.
