Abstract
A pump arrangement, in particular a magnetic clutch pump arrangement, is provided. The pump arrangement includes a pump housing containing an impeller shaft, a containment shell which seals an enclosed chamber within the inner chamber of the pump housing, an impeller mounted on one end of the impeller shaft, an inner rotor mounted on the other end of the impeller shaft, a drive motor, a drive shaft that can be driven by the drive motor, and an outer rotor which is mounted on the drive shaft and co-operates with the inner rotor. The outer rotor has a hub and a first support element, and a hollow cylindrical portion between the hub and the first support element.
Claims5
A pump arrangement, comprising:
- a pump casing having an interior space;
- a containment can having a central longitudinal axis and being arranged to hermetically seal a chamber in the interior space;
- an impeller shaft;
- an impeller arranged on a impeller end of the impeller shaft;
- an inner rotor arranged within the containment can on an opposite end of the impeller shaft;
- an outer rotor arranged radially outside of the containment can and axially located to interact with the inner rotor,
- a drive motor, and
- a drive shaft arranged to be driven by the drive motor and to be coupled to the outer rotor,
- wherein
- the outer rotor includes a hub and a first carrier element, and a hollow cylindrical section between the hub and the first carrier element,
- the outer rotor is coupled to the drive shaft by a fastening element, and
- the fastening element has
- a first external thread on a first end facing the drive shaft,
- a second external thread on a second end opposite the first end, and
- a spacer section between the first external thread and the second external thread having an outer diameter greater than outer diameters of the first external thread and the second external thread.
