The present invention relates to an impeller assembly for centrifugal pumps, comprising a first disk-like element, operatively arranged towards a coaxial inlet, facing a second disk-like element with a smaller diameter, operatively arranged towards the outlet; this second disk-like element is rigidly connected to the first disk-like element through a set of angularly spaced blades, and is centrally provided with fastening means for fastening to a drive shaft. The distinctive feature of the present invention is that the blades comprise appendices, in flat sheet form, adjacent to the second disk-like element, which are essentially located in correspondence with areas subject to lesser axial thrust.

Impeller assembly for centrifugal pumps

An impeller assembly for centrifugal pumps has two disk members that have different diameters, are arranged coaxially to a rotation axis and face each other so as to form an interspace; blades are radially arranged in the interspace; the two disk members are also centrally provided with a fastening means for fastening to a transmission shaft, which rotates about the rotation axis. The particularity of the present invention resides in having contoured vanes that protrude radially from the peripheral region of the disk member that has the smallest diameter and are arranged substantially at the blades.
