A fluid pump assembly is provided. The pump has a pair of units magnetically coupled to each other. The first unit contains a drive motor and a magnetic assembly. The second unit contains a magnetic assembly and a blade of a propeller/impeller for imparting movement to a fluid. As the first unit is activated by the drive motor, a magnetic flux is created which in turn rotates the magnetic assembly in the second unit, driving the blade.

In a pump, a resin magnet included in a rotor portion has a plurality of groove portions in an outer peripheral portion thereof, the groove portions extending in an axial direction.

A fluid pump for dispensing a fluid to a setting or work environment is disclosed. A fluid pump having a contactless, fluid sensor and for use with a liner is also disclosed. The pump includes a jet assembly, a motor assembly, and a contactless, fluid sensor. The pump may further include a mounting housing member, a gasket or seal, and a liner when a liner is not already present. The jet assembly is coupled to or secured about the motor assembly. The jet assembly includes a jet assembly housing, and preferably also includes a printed circuit board (PCB), a PCB cover, a shaft assembly, and an impeller. The jet assembly housing includes a base, a top cover, an impeller-receiving chamber, at least one inlet aperture, and at least one outlet aperture. A pump apparatus that includes a pump as described, a power source, and/or a control apparatus is further disclosed.

A downhole-type system includes a rotatable shaft, a downhole-type magnetic bearing coupled to the rotatable shaft, a downhole-type sensor, a surface-type controller, and a surface-type amplifier coupled to the magnetic bearing. The magnetic bearing can control levitation of the rotatable shaft. The downhole-type sensor can detect a position of the rotatable shaft in a downhole location and generate a first signal based on the detected position. The surface-type controller can receive the first signal, determine an amount of force to apply to the shaft, and generate a second signal corresponding to the determined amount of force. The surface-type amplifier can receive the second signal, amplify the second signal to a sufficient level to drive the magnetic bearing to apply force to the rotatable shaft to control the levitation of the rotatable shaft at the downhole location, and transmit the amplified second signal to the magnetic bearing.

A magnetically engaged pump includes a pump housing with a rotatable magnetic drive assembly, a cylindrical canister and a rotatable driven magnet assembly. This magnetic coupling is associated with a pump rotor and a laterally positioned gear wheel to define a gear pump. This magnetic coupling is alternatively associated with a pump rotor with an impeller to define a centrifugal pump. Either pump includes a stationary shaft to mount the driven magnet assembly and pump rotor. A rotatable carrier with bushings and thrust bushings coaxially supports the rotatable driven magnet assembly and pump rotor.

The present invention provides a rocket fuel pump including a rotating body (4) mounted on a rotating shaft (3) and pressure-feeding rocket fuel when the rotating body (4) is rotationally driven by a drive source (T), and the rocket fuel pump includes a magnetic coupling (R) which is configured to magnetically couple the rotating shaft (3) and a drive shaft (10) of the drive source (T).

Extracorporeal circuit devices can be used for on-pump open-heart surgery to support surgical procedures such as coronary artery bypass grafting. In some cases, a centrifugal pump is used as part of an extracorporeal circuit. Centrifugal pump heads are described herein that induce flow on two sides of an impeller plate, and that can be conveniently mechanically assembled.

An outer barrel is configured to rotate. A first central shaft passes through the outer barrel. The first central shaft is configured to rotate with the outer barrel. A first bearing assembly is attached to the first shaft on a first side of the outer barrel. A second bearing assembly is attached to the first shaft on a second side of the barrel. The second bearing assembly supports the first shaft to an isolation can. An inner barrel is magnetically coupled to and is configured to rotate with the outer barrel. A second central shaft passes through the inner barrel. The second central shaft is configured to rotate with the inner barrel. A third bearing assembly is attached to the second shaft. The isolation can fluidically isolates the inner barrel assembly from the outer barrel assembly. The isolation can supports the second bearing assembly to the housing.

A pump arrangement, in particular a magnetic coupling pump arrangement, includes a pump housing having an interior, a split case which hermetically seals a chamber surrounded by the split case from the interior formed by the pump housing, an impeller shaft with an impeller thereon which can be driven in a rotatable manner about a rotational axis, an inner rotor arranged at an end of the impeller shaft opposite the impeller end, an outer rotor which interacts with the inner rotor, and an adapter element which connects the split case to the pump housing or to a component paired with the pump housing, in particular a housing cover. The adapter element includes a mounting flange which rests against a support surface of the pump housing, in particular of the housing cover (4), on a face adjacent to the interior.
