The invention relates to a magnetically-driven pump (1) with a pump housing (3), a housing cover (4) which closes the pump housing (3), and a containment can (5) which has a metal inner shell (6) and a ceramic outer shell (7) on which a flange (8) is formed. The object of the invention is to devise a pump which is improved in comparison with the prior art, which offers a simple and safe structure and makes uncomplicated and rapid manufacture, assembly and maintenance possible. In particular, a safe and energy-efficient pump is to be devised. To this end, the invention proposes that the inner shell (6) be welded to the housing cover (4) and the outer shell (7) be braced against the housing cover (4) by way of a clamping ring (9) on the flange (8).

Provided is a water pump including a lower casing, an upper casing coupled to an upper side of the lower casing to form an impeller accommodating space therein by the coupling with the lower casing and having an inlet communicating with the impeller accommodating space and allowing a fluid to be introduced therethrough and an outlet allowing the fluid to be discharged therethrough, an impeller provided in the impeller accommodating space and including an upper plate and a lower plate arranged to be spaced apart from each other vertically and a plurality of blades arranged and coupled between the upper plate and the lower plate, and a rotor coupled to the impeller and rotated together with the impeller, wherein the upper casing has a spacing recess provided on an inner surface corresponding to an outer circumference of the upper plate of the impeller.

A pump assembly mounts on a universal adapter having a back end attached to a motor, a receiving area, an outer magnet assembly rotatable around the receiving area by a motor, and a forward mounting plate surrounding the forward receiving area and having mounting features for attachment to the back cover of each of a variety of pump assemblies. The pump assembly includes a casing having an inlet and an outlet. A back cover attached to the casing has mounting features for attachment to the mounting features of the universal adapter. A containment shell includes a cup for positioning in the receiving area. An inner magnet assembly is positioned in the cup is rotatable by magnetic coupling to the outer magnet assembly through the cup. An impeller is rotatable within the casing by the inner magnet assembly to pump fluid from the inlet to the outlet.

A motor pump capable of preventing deformation of a resin-made motor casing due to heat while securing a mechanical strength of the motor casing is disclosed. The motor pump includes a motor casing made of resin. The motor stator is disposed in the motor casing. The motor casing includes a partition wall located between the impeller and stator coils, ribs extending radially, and an inner frame connected to an inner edge of the partition wall. The partition wall is fixed to the ribs. The motor casing has guide protrusions formed on an outer surface of the inner frame, and further has recesses formed between the guide protrusions.

Provided is a fluid pump assembly. The pump has a pair of housings magnetically coupled to each other. The first housing contains a drive motor and a magnetic assembly. The second housing contains a magnetic assembly and a blade for imparting movement to a fluid. As the first magnetic assembly is rotated by the drive motor, the magnetic connection to the assembly in the second housing causes the second magnet to rotate, driving the blade.

A submersible pump assembly includes an electric motor (1) and a centrifugal pump, which is driven by the electric motor (1). A rotor (4) formed of plastic or composite material which is manufactured in the extrusion or pultrusion method.

The invention relates to a magnetic drive pump (10), comprising: a housing (12) filled at least partially with a conveyed fluid; an impeller chamber (14) enclosed by the housing (12); a pump shaft (22); an impeller (24) which is arranged in the impeller chamber (14) and on the pump shaft (22); a bearing (26) which supports the pump shaft (22) in the housing (12); a can (18) which encloses a coupling chamber (20); a rotor (50) which is arranged in the coupling chamber (20) on the pump shaft (22); a ring (16) held in the housing, which supports the bearing (26) and separates the impeller chamber (14) from the coupling chamber (20); a duct (28) formed in the ring (16) for conveying a partial flow of the conveyed fluid out of the impeller chamber (14) to the bearing (26) for the purpose of lubricating the bearing (26), wherein at least part of the conveyed fluid emerging from the bearing (26) arrives in the coupling chamber (20). The object of the invention is to improve a magnetic drive pump of this type such that safe and reliable lubrication of the bearing (26) of the pump shaft (22) over a certain time is also still ensured when the pump (10) is operating in dry-run condition, i.e. when it continues running when there is no more conveyed fluid on the suction side of the pump (10). The invention achieves this object in that the coupling chamber (20) is closed in fluid-tight manner relative to the impeller chamber (14).

Provided is a water pump including a lower casing, an upper casing coupled to an upper side of the lower casing to form an impeller accommodating space therein by the coupling with the lower casing and having an inlet communicating with the impeller accommodating space and allowing a fluid to be introduced therethrough and an outlet allowing the fluid to be discharged therethrough, an impeller provided in the impeller accommodating space and including an upper plate and a lower plate arranged to be spaced apart from each other vertically and a plurality of blades arranged and coupled between the upper plate and the lower plate, and a rotor coupled to the impeller and rotated together with the impeller, wherein the upper casing has a spacing recess provided on an inner surface corresponding to an outer circumference of the upper plate of the impeller.

A containment shell for a magnetic pump, the shell comprising: a body section having a continuous side wall defining a chamber, and an end wall closing the chamber at one end, the chamber being open at the other end, wherein the body section and the end wall are integrally formed from a matrix material in which chopped carbon fibre material is distributed.
