Centrifugal pump

A sealless-type centrifugal pump including:na casing that forms a pump chamber having a liquid inflow port and an outflow port,an impeller disposed in the pump chamber and rotatably supported by a pivot bearing, anda magnetic coupling device includingna driven permanent magnet built into the impeller, anda driving magnet configured to rotate an outer periphery of the driven permanent magnet so as to rotationally drive the driven permanent magnet through a partition and disposed at an outer periphery of an impeller main body of the impeller in a radial direction, the centrifugal pump being configured such that the impeller supported in the direction of the rotation axis with respect to the casing is driven by the magnetic coupling device, and pressure is applied to liquid introduced from the direction of the rotation axis through the inflow port to send the liquid through the outflow port in a radial direction,whereinthe pivot bearing includes a pivot shaft located at the center of the rotation axis of the impeller and a bearing portion, at the casing side, provided at the axial center line of the inflow port,the driven permanent magnet and the driving magnet are disposed on a line inclined from an impeller rotating surface to the inflow port side toward the center of the rotation axis,the driving magnet, the driven permanent magnet, and the pivot bearing are disposed on a same straight line and configured to generate a magnetic force acting between the driving magnet and the driven permanent magnet from the driving magnet toward the center of the rotation axis in a direction inclined from a line perpendicular to the center of the rotation axis,at least an upper end of the pivot shaft protrudes toward the inflow port side and extends beyond an upper surface of the impeller, anda lower end of the pivot shaft, the driving magnet and the driven permanent magnet are disposed at the same straight line.
