INTRODUCTION

Pump Casing

Levitronix〈 has developed a revolutionary pump that has no

Levitated Impeller

bearings to wear out or seals to break. Based on the principles ofOutletmagnetic levitation, the pump’s impeller is suspended, contactfree, inside a sealed casing and is driven by the magnetic field of
the motor (Figure 1). The impeller and casing are both fabricatedRotor-Magnet

from biocompatible (FDA, USP-VI, BSE/TSE and Animal free)gamma sterilizable polypropylene (PP) and together they make up

the disposable pump head. A simple and intuitive exchange ofthe single use pump head is achieved with a bayonet socket type

Schematic of the main elementsof the maglev centrifugal pump

mounting procedure (see Figure 5). Flow rate or pressure are
precisely controlled by electronically regulating the rotor speed,which eliminates any pulsation. With the lack of mechanicalbearings plus the self-contained pump head design, the risk ofcontamination is drastically reduced. The absence of narrow gaps
between the impeller and pump casing, plus the low-shear pump

Pump Headdesign allows the gentle pumping of sensitive liquids. The pumpcasing is fabricated with Triclamp fittings and can be easily

inserted and removed with an intuitive bayonet socket.

external signal, facilitating precise closed-loop flow or pressure
control when either a flow or pressure sensor is integrated into
the system (see specification of Position 4b in Table 2). A
computer can be connected via a USB interface to allow
communication with Levitronix® Service Software. Henceparameterization, firmware updates and failure analysis are

ATEX / IECEx SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONAn ATEX / IECEx certified motor together with the pump headallows installation of motor and pump head within an ATEX
Zone 2 area (see Figure 8). The ATEX / IECEx motor (Pos. 2b inTable 2) comes with special connectors and relevant extension
cables (Pos. 5 in Table 3). An Ex conform solution is needed forthe motor cables to leave the ATEX area. One option is an Ex
certified cable sealing system as listed in Table 4 (see Pos. 8)
and shown in Figure 12.
