  • Publication number: 20200405928
    Abstract: A ventricular assist device includes a housing assembly with a pressurized inner chamber, an impeller, an electric motor and a distance sensor. The electric motor includes a controller, a stator and a rotor. The stator and the controller are located in the housing assembly, outside of the pressurized inner chamber and are electrically coupled. The impeller and the rotor are located in the pressurized inner chamber and fixedly coupled. The distance sensor is located in the housing assembly, outside of the pressurized inner chamber and electrically coupled to the controller. The distance sensor senses a distance value of the rotor to a cavity wall of the pressurized inner chamber, and further transmits the distance value to the controller. The controller controls a magnetic force between the stator and the rotor according to the distance value, so as to control a suspension and rotation of the rotor.
