Gorman Rupp Magnetic Drive Pumps

Posted on by Sara Springer

Gorman Rupp Offers Corrosion Resistant, Dry Run Capable, and Efficient Mag Drive Pumps.
Operation is similar to the standard centrifugal pumps, except the impeller is driven with a magnetic coupling, eliminating the need for a shaft seal. Magnetic drive pumps must be used where flooded suction exists. Typical OEM applications include film processors, laser and x-ray cooling systems, medical, scientific and laboratory equipment and silver recovery equipment.

A Magnetically Coupled Centrifugal Pump that Really Runs Dry by Renner

Posted on by Sara Springer

Conventional magnetically coupled pumps are not designed for dry run situations. Renner presents a totally new type of magnetically coupled centrifugal pump that works without any sleeve bearing. This is the FIRST TIME that this type of bearing has been used with magnetically coupled centrifugal pumps. The coefficient of friction for this new type of bearing is so low, only a minimum of heat is generated. Therefore, the bearing does not require any cooling or liquid lubrication.
