Product description
The housing dimensions, nominal ratings and 
technical requirements of the pump series RMI 
correspond to ISO 2858 / DIN EN 22858 / ISO 15783 
/ DIN ISO 5199. The technical requirements of the 
VDMA 24279 are satisfied. 
The sectional drawings show the design of the pump. 
See Chapter 9.
All components which come into contact with the 
medium are either plastic-lined or made of other 
resistant materials, e.g. silicon carbide. 
The housing 100 consists of a metallic shell with a 
plastic lining. 
The shaft spider 338 is pressed into the housing and 
secured with the anti-torsion inserts 566/1.
The two bearing bushes 545 are pressed in from the 
bearing pedestal side and secured with the anti-
torsion insert 566/2.
The distance ring 504/1 is inserted in-between. 
The can 159 is made of CFK (high-resistance, carbon 
fibre composite material). It is protected against the 
corrosive medium by a can insert 158 made of 
resistant plastic. 
The thrust ring 510/3 is pressed in and has a positive 
connection with the shaft 222 to prevent it from 
turning. The shaft 222 is mounted with a positive 
connection in the can insert 158.
The impeller 230 and the inner magnet assembly 859 
can be separated and can therefore be replaced 
independently of each other. Both components have a 
positive connection for power transmission. 
The static tightness of the pump is guaranteed by 
the screw fittings of the bracket 344 and housing 
100. The bearing pedestal gasket 404 and the lips of 
the can unit are jammed between both components 
with the required sealing force. 
Long life grease lubrication
The bearing pedestal 330 contains grease-lubricated 
radial ball bearings 321/1 and 321/2. They are 
sealed on both sides. 
The wavy spring washer 953/1 guarantees the 
necessary axial pretension of he radial ball bearings 
321.
Oil bath lubrication:
The bearing pedestal 330 contains radial ball 
bearings 321/1 and 321/2 which are lubricated by an 
oil bath. 
The wavy spring washer 953/1 puts the radial ball 
bearings under axial pretension. 
The oil bath is sealed against the atmosphere by two 
rotary shaft seals 421/1, 421/2 and a cover gasket 
403.
The torque is transmitted from the drive shaft 213 
through the key 940/1 to the drive magnet assembly 
858.
This is axially secured with the hex. socket screw 
914/1 and the toothed lock washer 936/1. The 
magnets are glued into the drive magnet assembly. 
In the event of a leak in the can unit, the closed 
lantern construction offers additional time-limited 
protection against the medium leaking into the 
atmosphere. 
For this purpose, an additional gasket 404 is 
provided between the bracket 344 and bearing 
pedestal 330.
The flushing flow is guided on the outside past the 
impeller assembly into the can. The flushing flow 
returns to the housing through flushing bores in the 
impeller assembly and through the plain bearings. 
Further design details are provided in the enclosed 
drawing. Additional information are provided in the 
brochure and the product manual.
