What Are Magnetic Drive Pumps And How Do They Work?

Magnetic drive pump is a leak free fluid conveying machinery.

Composition: The magnetic drive pump is mainly composed of a pump body, a magnetic transmission, an electric motor, and other parts. The magnetic actuator includes an outer magnetic rotor, an inner magnetic rotor, and a non-magnetic isolation sleeve.

Working principle: The magnetic drive pump utilizes the principle of permanent magnet transmission technology to achieve contactless transmission of torque. Through the action of a magnetic field, the magnetic rotor components inside the sealed chamber are driven to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the impeller to perform work on the fluid.

Features: The magnetic drive pump has a reasonable design, advanced technology, fully sealed, leak free, corrosion-resistant, and pollution-free characteristics, and is widely used in industries such as petroleum, chemical, electroplating, pharmaceuticals, and food.

In summary, magnetic drive pumps are efficient and environmentally friendly fluid conveying equipment, suitable for various industrial scenarios.

How does a magnetic drive pump work?

The working principle of a magnetic drive pump is similar to that of a magnetic pump, mainly using magnetic force to transport fluids. The following is a detailed explanation of its working process:

Basic structure: Magnetic drive pumps are usually composed of an electric motor, an inner rotor (also known as a drive rotor), an outer rotor (also known as a pump rotor), an impeller, and a pump body. The inner rotor is connected to the electric motor, while the outer rotor is connected to the impeller of the pump.

Driving principle: When the motor is powered on, the stator generates a rotating magnetic field, causing the inner rotor to start rotating. There is no physical connection between the inner rotor and the outer rotor, but power transmission is achieved through magnetic field coupling.

Rotating magnetic field: The rotation of the inner rotor generates a changing magnetic field, which acts on the outer rotor, causing it to also rotate. After the outer rotor rotates, it drives the impeller to work.

Fluid transportation: The rotation of the impeller causes the fluid inside the pump chamber to be subjected to centrifugal force, thereby pushing the liquid to flow along the pump body, achieving the suction and discharge of the liquid.

Sealing and safety: The design of the magnetic drive pump eliminates the need for seals between the inner and outer rotors, avoiding leakage issues that may occur with traditional mechanical seals. This makes magnetic drive pumps particularly suitable for transporting corrosive, volatile, or high-temperature liquids.

Application areas: Due to its excellent sealing and leak free characteristics, magnetic drive pumps are widely used in industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, power, and food, especially when transporting dangerous and corrosive liquids.

This design not only improves safety, but also reduces maintenance costs because there are no complex seals that need to be replaced. Overall, magnetic drive pumps are an efficient and safe fluid transport device.

How to maintain a magnetic drive pump？

Maintaining a magnetic drive pump requires starting from multiple aspects to ensure its normal operation and extend its service life.

Regular inspections: including visual and structural checks to ensure there are no issues such as wear, deformation, or leakage; At the same time, check the transmission device such as bearings, shaft sleeves, etc., and repair or replace them in a timely manner if there are any abnormalities.

Cleaning and maintenance: Regularly clean the casing and transmission parts of the magnetic pump to maintain the quality of the internal fluid and ensure the stability of the electrical system.

Pay attention to operating parameters: Follow the prescribed operating procedures to avoid damage to the pump caused by improper operation; Pay attention to the operating parameters of the pump, such as flow rate and head, to ensure that they are within the normal range.

Special environmental maintenance: For magnetic pumps in special environments and working conditions, special maintenance measures should be taken, such as strengthening the maintenance of the cooling system.‌
