The
DDC pump is an electronically commutated spherical motor pump with an
expected service life of well over 50,000 hours at 12 V. The only moving
part in a spherical motor pump is a spherically shaped rotor/impeller
unit, which is seated on an ultra-hard, wear-resistant ceramic ball. The
conventional shaft, shaft bearings, and shaft seals have been
eliminated. The spherical bearing of the rotor/impeller unit on the
ceramic ball offers a number of advantages:
The occurrence of bearing play – and the
associated increase of noise – is not possible due to the principle
involved. Consequently, the pump continues to work quietly throughout
its entire service life. The bearing is self-realigning. It is
lubricated directly by the medium being pumped (wet rotor design). This
means that the pump is maintenance-free. Since the rotor is always
magnetically held in the designated position, small particles of dirt do
not present a problem. Under normal conditions, it is impossible for
the rotor to become locked. Reliable starting is also ensured even after
long periods of shutdown. The permanently magnetic rotor/impeller unit
is driven by the magnetic field generated by the surrounding stator. The
stator is wrapped entirely around the rotor. As a result, the entire
pump is only slightly taller than the rotor itself, measuring only 38 mm
in height. Accordingly, it fits easily into all standard PC cases.
Generally, no separate magnetic shielding is required. The spherical
motor design permits economical operation with comparatively high
output. Supply voltage variation provides a simple means of controlling
the speed of the DDC pump over a large output range. All parts in
contact with the medium are 100% corrosion resistant.
