Working principleAlthough each <strong>mag</strong> <strong>drive</strong> pump series -depending on<strong>it</strong>s design- has <strong>it</strong>s own characteristics, all <strong>mag</strong> <strong>drive</strong>pumps work w<strong>it</strong>h a <strong>mag</strong>netic coupling.The principle of a <strong>mag</strong>netic couplingA <strong>mag</strong>netic coupling consists of two <strong>mag</strong>netassemblies. One is the outer assembly (the<strong>drive</strong> <strong>mag</strong>net) and the other is the innerassembly (the <strong>drive</strong>n <strong>mag</strong>net). The outerassembly is connected to a motor andthe inner assembly is directly or indirectlyattached to a pump impeller. As illustrated,at rest, the <strong>mag</strong>net components of the outerassembly are aligned w<strong>it</strong>h their counterpartsin the inner assembly. When load (torque) isapplied, the coupling deflects angularly andthe <strong>mag</strong>nets create a force of simultaneousattraction and repulsion. This force is usedto transfer torque from the motor to theimpeller.This permanent <strong>mag</strong>net coupling createsne<strong>it</strong>her slippage nor induction currents duringrotation. If excessive torque is applied, the<strong>mag</strong>nets will de-couple. The <strong>mag</strong>nets will notre-couple unless the pump is stopped. Thereis no energy loss in a permanent couplingunless an electrically conductive containmentis placed bet<strong>we</strong>en the outer and inner<strong>mag</strong>nets. If an electrically conductive materialis used for the containment, Eddy Currentswill be generated which will cause someenergy loss.
