  • Patent number: 10823188
    Abstract: An electric centrifugal pump having a motor housing, a pump head, a containment shell, and a rotor assembly consisting of a pump impeller and a permanent magnet rotor, wherein the pump head with the containment shell defines a wet chamber, in which the rotor assembly is arranged rotationally around a longitudinal motor axis, the containment shell with the motor housing defines a dry chamber, in which a wound stator is arranged, and the permanent magnet rotor is arranged within the stator and a hollow-cylindrical region of the containment shell. Particle accumulations in the region between the containment shell and the permanent magnet rotor cannot occur or can only occur to a very minor extent and that the consequences of impurities in the wet chamber are reduced in order to prevent premature wear or a blockage of the centrifugal pump.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7692355
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electric motor having a permanent magnetic rotor supported in a rotatable fashion around a central axis, a wound stator with a cylindrical stator winding, claw poles, perpendicular in reference to the disc-shaped stator plates and arranged around the central axis, and a tubular return ring connected to the stator plates free from play. The object of the invention is to provide an electric motor, in which the stator is composed from as few parts as possible, with its assembly being simple, its construction being robust, and being provided with an optimum effectiveness, allowing a great freedom of design and space used and thus an economical structure. This object is attained according to the invention in the disc-shaped stator plates being in one piece with the claw poles and being calked to the return ring with the disc-shaped stator plates.
