Magnetic drive pumps are a kind of seal-less pumps applying the principle of permanent magnetic drive technology to realize contactless transmission of torque. Also known as mag drive pump, magnetic coupling pump and magnetic sealless pump.

“Magnetic drive” refers to the coupling between the wet end of the pump and the motor, replacing the dynamic seal with a static seal, so that the pump reaches a completely leak-free. It is especially suitable for conveying flammable, explosive, volatile, toxic, corrosive and valuable liquids. AOBL is a professional manufacturer of magnetic drive pumps, mainly providing all kinds of magnetic drive centrifugal pumps.

magnetic drive pump working principle

Magnetic drive pumps utilize the characteristics that magnets can attract ferromagnetic substances and that there is a magnetic force between magnets or magnetic fields, which can transmit power through a non-magnetic conductor (isolation sleeve) without contact. Magnetic drive pump is mainly composed of pump body, impeller, magnetic coupling, isolation sleeve, electric motor and so on.

The electric motor is connected to the outer magnet through the shaft coupling. The impeller and the inner magnet are integrated with the pump shaft through the impeller nut and are mounted in the sealing body composed of the pump body and the isolation sleeve. The motor drives the outer magnet, and the outer magnet drives the inner magnet to rotate the impeller, thus replacing the dynamic seal by the static seal to achieve leakage-free conveying medium.

magnetic drive pump advantages and disadvantages

advantages

  • Magnetic pumps can have overload protection in the process of transferring power.
  • The maintenance and overhaul workload of magnetic drive pump is relatively small.
  • In addition to the magnetic material and magnetic circuit design has high requirements, other parts of the technical requirements are not so high.
  • The drive shaft does not need to penetrate into the pump casing, but through the magnetic field through the air gap and the thin wall of the isolation sleeve to transfer the torque to drive the inner rotor, which eliminates the leakage of the shaft seal, and can realize the full seal.

disadvantages

  • Magnetic pump coupling has high requirements for centering, when misalignment will cause damage to the bearing at the inlet and wear of the isolation sleeve.
  • The material and manufacturing requirements of the isolation sleeve are relatively high. If the material is not selected properly to cause the isolation sleeve can not withstand the friction of the inner and outer magnetic steel is easily worn, if the rupture of the pumping medium will leak.
  • The efficiency of magnetic pumps and general centrifugal pumps, compared with the efficiency of magnetic pumps will be lower.

magnetic drive pump vs centrifugal pump

  1. Magnetic pumps without shaft seal (or mechanical seal).
  2. Standard centrifugal pumps do not contain a magnetic rotor.
  3. Magnetic pumps are designed to prevent leakage, while standard centrifugal pumps are prone to leakage after a long period of operation.
  4. Magnetic pumps cannot convey liquids containing solid particles.
  5. Energy consumption is not the same. Magnetic pumps do not have a large number of heating conditions occur when working. The traditional motor-driven mode will emit a lot of heat in the work.
  6. Efficiency is not the same. Magnetic pumps use synchronous drag, there will be no friction in the working process, there is no resistance, so the power consumption is relatively small, which also improves efficiency. Centrifugal pump is driven by the motor, there will be a lot of friction at the time of use, with the use of a long time, there will be a certain resistance, the lack of lubricants or cooling water is more serious, it will reduce the efficiency of the work.

FAQ

Magnetic drive pumps are not allowed to idle, because magnetic pumps in operation will cause the temperature to rise, when the transport medium can play a lubricating and cooling effect. If idling will cause the temperature in the pump chamber to rise rapidly, the temperature exceeds the critical point, it will lead to motor burnout or demagnetization demagnetization and so on, magnetic pump performance will be greatly reduced.

No. Since magnetic pumps do not require the use of mechanical seals, damage to mechanical seals and leakage problems are avoided.

  1. Transmission principle, magnetic pump and shielded pump torque transfer principle is exactly the same, they are relying on space magnetic field to transfer force or torque. Only the magnetic field of the magnetic pump is the permanent magnetic field provided by the permanent magnet, while the magnetic field of the shielded pump is the alternating magnetic field formed by the alternating current.
  2. No leakage principle, magnetic pumps and shielded pumps are identical to the principle of no leakage, they are relying on certain static components to form a shielded sealing cavity that can withstand the pressure of the impeller and other rotor components of the fluid work completely encapsulated in the shielded sealing cavity. Thus completing the conversion of dynamic seal to static seal. Magnetic pumps rely on the isolation sleeve to form a non-leakage shielded sealing cavity, while shielded pumps rely on the motor rotor and stator between the shielding sleeve to form a shielded sealing cavity.
  3. Structure and manufacture of magnetic pump structure is relatively complex, simple manufacturing process; shielded pump structure is relatively simple, but due to the existence of shielding motor, its manufacturing process is relatively complex.
  4. Scope of application of magnetic pumps and shielded pumps suitable for transporting the same fluids, are used for flammable, explosive, toxic, hazardous or more valuable media transportation. Shield pump hydraulic model for foreign hydraulic design, performance parameters and the domestic petrochemical industry, there are some differences in existing equipment.
  5. Magnetic pump maintenance is simple and convenient, the user can be carried out independently. Shielded pumps due to the presence of shielded motor, so that its maintenance is relatively complex, long maintenance cycle, the impact on production is greater.

The noise generated by the operation of the magnetic pump is relatively small, generally below 60 decibels. However, the specific sound size still depends on the structure of the magnetic pump itself and the use of the environment and other factors. If it is a high-speed, high-flow magnetic pump, its noise may be relatively large. If it is running in a particularly noise-sensitive environment, the noise of the magnetic pump may also be different. There will still be some noise generated, mainly from the following aspects:

  1. The noise of the motor itself: the motor of the magnetic pump will produce some noise, but this noise is similar to the motor noise of ordinary centrifugal pumps and will not be significantly higher than the latter.
  2. The noise of magnetic transmission: the noise of magnetic transmission has a certain effect on the noise size of the magnetic pump. Due to the energy loss during magnetic transfer, some noise may be generated, but the amount of noise is generally very small.
  3. Fluid noise: the noise generated by the medium in the transmission process will also have an impact on the noise of the magnetic pump. For example, the flow rate of the medium is too large, may produce clicking noise inside the pump body, but this noise is usually very small.

Magnetic drive pumps will demagnetize if the temperature is too high or if the pump runs dry.
