This article presents a novel electric motor/pump system that combines an axial field, permanent magnet motor with a centrifugal pump. This system, unique because the motor permanent magnet rotor and pump impeller vanes are a single unit, provides a compact, reliable, low-noise, and high-power density electrically driven centrifugal pump suitable for underwater applications in which minimizing noise, vibration, and volume are major design objectives. Performance tradeoffs for the electromagnetic analysis were made by three-dimensional finite element analysis models in conjunction with a lumped parameter magnetic circuit model. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.
