Magnetic drive pumps use a motor and impeller that are connected to magnets instead of directly to a motor. This type of pump is sealless, and generally a standard electric motor is what drives the magnets. You can typically find two types of magnetic drive pumps for sale: the rotating driven shaft pump and the stationary shaft pump. The rotating magnetic drive pump uses metal and uses a pressurized recirculation circuit. The stationary shaft style uses non-metallic components like ceramic or plastic and are great for light and medium duty uses.

You can buy magnetic drive pumps for a variety of uses including moving abrasive materials or chemicals, moving concrete or grout, moving acids or other hazardous materials or moving liquid metals or lubricants.
