Magnetic Drive Pumps

Magnetic Drive Pumps

Magnetic Drive pumps vary from the traditional pumping style as they are powered by magnetic rather than an outside source. The pump works via a drive magnet ‘driving’ the inner rotor which is attached on a second shaft operated by the motor.[1]

Advantages of Magnetic Drive Pumps

  • There are no drive seals - Therefore the risk of leaks are completely eradicated. This means that hazardous liquids can be pumped without spillages.
  • No Heat Transfer From the Motor- The pump chamber is separated from the motor by an air gap, this provides a thermal barrier.
  • Complete separation of the liquid- means that liquid cannot seep into the motor from the pump.
  • Reduced friction.[2]
  • Magnetic coupling can be broken- If the load of the pump is too great. By the magnetic coupling ‘breaking’ it means the pump does not overload and get damaged. [3]

Eliminating the drive seals gets rid of leaks, friction loss, wear and noise. What it gives you is complete separation of fluid from the pump drive, and 100% transfer of Motor power into pumping power.[4]

Disadvantages of magnetic Drive Pumps

  • Liquids containing ferrous particles are problematic when a magnetic drive pump is used. This is due to the particles collecting on the impeller magnet, and over time causing the pump to stop working.
