Abstract: An electromagnetic rotary drive includes a rotor and a stator. The rotor magnetically driven without contact about an axial direction, and magnetically levitated without contact with respect to the stator. The rotor actively magnetically levitated in a radial plane and passively magnetically stabilized in the axial direction against tilting. The stator has coil cores, each including a longitudinal limb extending in the axial direction and a transverse limb arranged in the radial plane. The transverse limb extends from the longitudinal limb and is bounded by an end face. A concentrated winding is arranged on each of the longitudinal limbs surrounding a respective longitudinal limb. The end faces have a first distance in the radial direction from a first portion and a second distance in the radial direction from a second portion, the second distance greater than the first distance.

Abstract: An electromagnetic rotary drive includes a rotor including a magnetically effective core surrounded by a stator. The stator has poles arranged around the magnetically effective core and each of the poles is delimited by an end face. The rotor is capable of being magnetically driven without contact in an operating state about an axial direction, and is capable of being magnetically levitated without contact with respect to the stator. The rotor is configured to be magnetically levitated in a radial plane and is passively magnetically stabilized in the axial direction against tilting. The magnetically effective core has a rotor height which is a maximum extension of the magnetically effective core in the axial direction, the rotor height being greater than a stator pole height defined by a maximum extension of the end faces in the axial direction.

Abstract: A centrifugal pump for conveying a fluid, includes a pump housing, a rotor configured to convey the fluid disposed within the housing; and a stator which, together with the rotor, forms an electromagnetic rotary drive configured to rotate the rotor about an axial direction. The stator is a bearing and drive stator with which the rotor capable of being magnetically driven without contact and magnetically levitated without contact with respect to the stator. The rotor is passively magnetically levitated in the axial direction, and actively magnetically levitated in a radial plane perpendicular to the axial direction. The pump housing includes comprising a bottom and a cover, and the rotor is arranged in the pump housing between the bottom and the cover with respect to the axial direction. An indentation is disposed in the bottom or in the cover, the indentation being configured to generate a local turbulence.
