Patent number: 11396890Abstract: A magnetically driven centrifugal pump has a pump case, an open vane impeller in the pump case, a stuffing box including a stuffing box outer being fixed relative to the pump case and a stuffing box inner threadedly engaged with the stuffing box outer, and a rotor axially fixed and rotatably mounted in the stuffing box inner. Bushings are arranged between the rotor and the stuffing box inner. A drive is fixed relative to the pump case and includes a drive output extending into the rotor. There is a magnetic coupling between the rotor and the drive and a canister fixed to the stuffing box and extending through the magnetic coupling to isolate the rotor from the drive. A rub ring closes the end of the stuffing box inner and constrains the drive output from damaging the canister under catastrophic bearing failure.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2020Date of Patent: July 26, 2022Assignee: PSG CALIFORNIA LLCInventors: Rex Warren Beach, Nicholas William Ortega, James Gregory Farley, Christopher Jon Distaso

Patent number: 10502208Abstract: A magnetically engaged pump includes a pump housing with a rotatable magnetic drive assembly, a cylindrical canister and a rotatable driven magnet assembly. This magnetic coupling is associated with a pump rotor and a laterally positioned gear wheel to define a gear pump. This magnetic coupling is alternatively associated with a pump rotor with an impeller to define a centrifugal pump. Either pump includes a stationary shaft to mount the driven magnet assembly and pump rotor. A rotatable carrier with bushings and thrust bushings coaxially supports the rotatable driven magnet assembly and pump rotor.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2019Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignee: WILDEN PUMP AND ENGINEERING LLCInventors: Brian James Sandore, Loren Michael Libby, Nicholas William Ortega, Robert George Schwartz, Christoplher Leopold, Clark Shafer, William Blankemeier
