Finish Thompson A101990-3 Drive Magnet Assembly 6 Pole 56C Frame
The A101990-3 is the drive magnet assembly 6 pole 56c frame used in Finish Thompson KC5.5, KC6, KC6H, KC7, KC8 and KC10 magnetic drive pumps. It is the outer magnet carrier that drives the impeller magnet through the barrier, in the six pole rating for a NEMA 56C motor.
Treat it as a service item rather than a permanent fitting. Decoupling is the usual reason for replacement, and the heat of a slip can leave magnets permanently weaker even when the carrier looks sound. When ordering, match the part to the pump as it was actually built rather than to the catalog model alone, since material and size options were specified at the time of purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this the genuine manufacturer part?
Yes. It is the factory component built to the original specification rather than a pattern copy.
Q: Should anything else be replaced at the same time?
Whatever the teardown exposes. Elastomers and bushings are inexpensive and are best renewed while the pump is already apart.
Q: What causes most premature failures on this part?
Running the pump outside what it was specified for, whether that is temperature, viscosity, dry running or an incompatible chemical.
Q: Does fitting this affect the pump warranty?
Using the factory part keeps the pump to its original specification, which is what any warranty position depends on.
