  • Pump unit
    Patent number: 10036390
    Abstract: A pump assembly includes a pump housing (2) and a stator housing (16), which is connected to the pump housing (2) and in which a wet-running electric motor with a can (18, 18?) is arranged. A plate-like bearing carrier (26, 26?) of sheet-material is arranged between the pump housing and the stator housing (16). The bearing carrier (26, 26?) includes a centering surface (40, 40?) in a manner distanced to its free peripheral edge, said centering surface coming into bearing contact on a corresponding contact surface (42) of the pump housing (2) in a manner such that the bearing carrier (26, 26?) with the can (18, 18?) is centered relative to the pump housing (2).
