IWAKI MD-10-100 Mag Drive Centrifugal Pump
The IWAKI MD-10-100 is a compact magnetic drive centrifugal pump built for reliability in demanding process environments. Rather than relying on a shaft seal that can wear out and leak, this pump transfers energy from motor to impeller through a magnetic coupling, keeping the entire wetted pathway completely sealed. That sealless design makes it a smart choice anywhere leaks simply aren't an option, from laboratory instruments to filtration loops and small-scale chemical handling systems.
Constructed from GFRPP polypropylene, the MD-10-100 stands up well to a broad range of corrosive fluids while staying lightweight and compact. It's close-coupled to a 1/125 horsepower, 100-volt AC single-phase motor, giving it a small footprint that fits easily into tight equipment enclosures or benchtop setups. The 35/64-inch hose barb ports make plumbing straightforward, whether it's being installed as an OEM component or a replacement part in existing equipment.
Because this pump uses magnetic torque instead of a physical shaft connection, it's important that the fluid being pumped doesn't contain iron, nickel, or other magnetic particulates that could interfere with the coupling. Within that guideline, though, the MD-10-100 performs well across chillers, blood analyzers, lasers, and other precision equipment where quiet operation and consistent flow matter just as much as leak-free performance.

FAQs
Q: Can the IWAKI MD-10-100 run dry without damage?
A: No. This pump is not self-priming and running it dry can damage internal components, so it should always be operated with liquid present.
Q: What types of liquids should be avoided with this pump?
A: Avoid fluids containing iron, nickel, or other magnetic particulates, since these can interfere with the magnetic coupling that drives the impeller.
Q: Is the MD-10-100 suitable for continuous operation?
A: Yes, it's designed for continuous duty in process, recirculation, and transfer applications, and includes a built-in thermal protector for added motor protection.
Q: What port connection type does the MD-10-100 use?
A: It uses 35/64-inch hose barb port connections on both the inlet and discharge sides.
Q: Does the MD-10-100 require regular maintenance?
A: It has a simplified design with few parts, but casing screws should be checked periodically for tightness, especially after long storage periods, to keep the unit performing reliably.
