Abstract
An arrangement for pumping fluids has an electronically commutated external-rotor motor. The latter has a stator arranged on a stator carrier and a rotor joined to a first permanent magnet, which rotor is rotatably journaled, in a bearing tube, with respect to the stator. This bearing tube is arranged, at least partly, radially inside the stator carrier. The first permanent magnet is arranged in an annular interstice between the stator carrier and the bearing tube. A fluid pump has a pump wheel arranged rotatably inside a pump housing, which wheel is joined to a second permanent magnet, a liquid-tight but magnetically transparent partition being provided between the first permanent magnet and the second permanent magnet. This keeps fluid away from the motor wiring. The first permanent magnet forms, by coaction with the second permanent magnet, a magnetic coupling to the fluid pump, which magnetic coupling automatically produces a rotation of the pump wheel as a result of rotation of the motor rotor.
