ABSTRACT:
In a magnetically levitated pump, an impeller-side ferromagnetic body (second ferromagnetic body) provided on a circumferential surface of an impeller facing a casing unit on the side of a position sensor and a casing-side ferromagnetic body (third ferromagnetic body) opposite to the impeller-side ferromagnetic body (second ferromagnetic body) to attract the impeller toward the casing unit on the side of the position sensor are adapted to have opposite portions of mutually different shapes, so that the maximum required attractive force of an electro-magnet for magnetic bearing is suppressed and length of the electro-magnet for magnetic bearing is made shorter.
