Materials of Construction

 
Pump Housings:
Pump housings are constructed of injection molded Carbon Fiber-Reinforced ETFE. Robust wall thicknesses and structural ribbing are used to achieve optimal strength and rigidity while minimizing product size and weight.

Gear Assemblies:
Both the drive and idler gears are made of Carbon Fiber-Reinforced ETFE, over-molded onto Alumina Ceramic shafts. This creates a positive lock between the gear and shaft, thus providing for smooth and continuous torque transmission.

Shafts:
Shafts are made of Alumina Ceramic. This material provides excellent corrosion resistance while minimizing friction and heat rise during operation. Oversized shafts are rigidly supported on each end to maximize load-bearing capability and torque transmission.

Magnetic Coupling:
The magnetic coupling is of the synchronous type with zero slippage. Rare earth Neodymium Iron (NdFe) magnets are offered as standard for optimal torque transmission. The inner (driven) magnets are fully encapsulated with Carbon Fiber-Reinforced ETFE, with no welding or secondary operations to deal the magnets; thus eliminating any possible leak path.
