4.1
General description
MAGSON magnetically coupled centrifugal pumps are non-self priming centrifugal pumps
made of plastic and built in horizontal single-stage monoblock design. A magnetic
coupling connects the pump to the motor and transmits the power of the motor to the
impeller.
Pump housings, impellers, inner magnet sheaths and rear casings are made of plastic.
The rear casing hermetically seals the fluid from the ambient atmosphere. Because of
magnetic power transmission, there is no need to mechanically seal the shaft. So, in
contrast to mechanically or gland sealed pumps, any leakage at the shaft is completely
impossible.

Nameplate
The nameplate of the pump not only specifies its operating data but also its type and
serial number. Please indicate all these data when making an inquiry, reordering parts
and, in particular, when ordering spare parts.
Data of the electric motor are given on a separate rating plate.
For further information, contact your pump's supplier or the manufacturer.

Type codes and materials
The type code on the nameplate informs you about the pump materials in contact with
fluid.
