The use of magnetic couplings is recommended in applications where it is necessary to hermetically separate two zones in order to prevent fluid or gas leakage from one area to another. The classic example is fluid transfer pump applications. In these applications the fluid must not come into contact with the external environment.
These magnetic couplings also prevent transmission of vibration and axial and radial loads through the drive shaft.
These magnetic couplings allow mechanical power transmission between two separate hermetically sealed areas.
Suitable for applications where prevention of cross contamination is essential, such as hydraulic sectors, dosing systems, compressors, sterilisers, industrial ovens, biotechnology, subsea equipment, pharmaceutical industry, chemical industry, food industry, generators, mixers.
Built to suit a particular application, there is no need to alter a system. The magnetic coupling will be designed to suit the specifications of a machinery application.
These magnetic couplings can be used to connect gear pumps , screw pumps, centrifugal pumps, etc. with all types of electric motor or gear box, including US standards such as NEMA types.
Features
Elimination of fluid leakage from the pump shaft.
Vibrations are not transmitted to the pump.
No maintenance required for magnetic couplings.
Using magnetic couplings allows use of standard pumps without expensive mechanical seals.
No additional cost for purchasing mechanical seal spare parts and maintenance.
