Zusammenfassung:A load-balanced, high-capacity mud pump is provided. In some embodiments, load balancing is achieved by spacing hubs (44) along the crankshaft (40) of the mud pump with the bull gears (42) disposed opposite one another, on outer ends of the crankshaft (40) adjacent to the housing (33). In such an embodiment, the hubs (44) are disposed along the crankshaft (40) between the bull gears (42). A pinion shaft 48 (or separate pair of shafts) can be provided, mechanically supported in the mud pump by roller bearings (51) or lubricated pads (64). Additional systems, devices, and methods are also disclosed.
