About Magnetic Drive Pumps

Magnetic drive pumps are sealless pumps that use a coaxial magnetic coupling to transmit torque to an impeller. A standard electric motor drives a set of permanent magnets that are mounted on a carrier or drive assembly. In turn, the magnets drive the inner rotor and provide the no-slip or synchronous capability of the torque coupling. There are two basic types of magnetic drive pumps: rotating driven shaft and stationary shaft. Rotating shaft magnetic drive pumps are usually made of metal and include a pressurized recirculation circuit to help prevent vaporization of the liquid required to lubricate the bearings. Stationary shaft magnetic drive pumps typically use non-metallic components such as ceramics and plastics and are best suited for light to medium duty applications.


Products & Services Related to Magnetic Drive Pumps

Dosing Pumps
Dosing pumps are low-volume fluid pumps with controllable discharge rates used to inject additives into the mixing or pumping system.
Gear Pumps
Gear pumps use intermeshing gears to pump various types of liquids. Typically, one gear is the driver and the other is free wheeling. The gears have very tight tolerances so that the fluid being pumped cannot pass through them. Common uses for gear pumps include high pressure, metering, and flow control applications.
Plastic Pumps
Plastic pumps are designed to move fluids that would corrode or damage other types of pumps. They provide broad chemical resistance and are less costly and lighter in weight than metal pumps.
Positive Displacement Pumps
Positive displacement pumps use a mechanical force such as gears, bladders, pistons, plungers or diaphragms to push liquid through and out of the pump.
Progressing Cavity Pumps
Progressing cavity pumps are a type of rotary positive displacement pump designed to transfer fluid or media with suspended solids or slurries from the suction side of the pump to the discharge side of the pump, from storage tanks or through pipelines. 
Sanitary Pumps
Sanitary pumps are used to transport and meter solutions, slurries, and colloids of food and agricultural materials in operations such as food processing that require cleanliness. There are four basic types of sanitary pumps: centrifugal, positive displacement, jet, and airlift.
Syringe Pumps
Infusion or withdrawal syringe pumps provide high pressure and high accuracy for applications such as high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).  Used to deliver precise amounts of fluid at specific time intervals.
