Abstract:
A fluid pump includes an inlet for introducing fluid into the fluid pump and an outlet for discharging the fluid from the fluid pump A motor is included having an armature which rotates about an axis. The motor also has a stator which circumferentially surrounds the armature such that a fluid passage is defined radially between the armature and stator through which the fluid flows from the inlet to the outlet. A pumping arrangement is rotated by the armature and pumps the fluid from the inlet to the outlet. A flow impedance member extends axially in the fluid passage which impedes circumferential flow of the fluid within the fluid passage, thereby generating a pressure gradient circumferentially within the fluid passage which applies a lateral force to the armature.

Claim (Index 1):
A fluid pump comprising:\n an inlet for introducing fluid into said fluid pump; an outlet for discharging said fluid from said fluid pump; a motor having an armature which rotates about an axis such that said armature is supported at one end by a first bearing and at a second end by a second bearing, said motor also having a stator which circumferentially surrounds said armature such that a fluid passage is defined radially between said armature and said stator through which said fluid flows from said inlet to said outlet; a pumping arrangement which is rotated by said armature and which pumps said fluid from said inlet to said outlet; a flow impedance member extending axially in said fluid passage which impedes circumferential flow of said fluid within said fluid passage, thereby generating a pressure gradient circumferentially within said fluid passage which applies a lateral force to said armature, wherein a distance from said armature to said flow impedance member in a direction radially relative to said axis is less than a dimension of said fluid passage in a direction radially relative to said axis at a location that is diametrically opposed to said distance from said armature to said flow impedance member.
