Iwaki MD-10L-220 Mag Drive Centrifugal Pump
The Iwaki MD-10L-220 is a compact, sealless magnetic drive centrifugal pump built for reliability in demanding process environments. Its glass fiber reinforced polypropylene (GFRPP) housing resists corrosion, while the magnetic coupling design eliminates the need for a shaft seal, reducing the risk of leaks and making it a solid choice for handling a variety of process fluids. Close coupled to a 1/125 horsepower, 220 volt single-phase motor, this pump delivers dependable performance in a small footprint.
What sets this pump apart is its thoughtful engineering for quiet, efficient operation. An internal cooling circuit helps keep bearing temperatures in check during continuous use, and the design incorporates few moving parts, which translates to less maintenance and a longer service life. It's commonly chosen for equipment like lasers, chillers, and blood analyzers, where a compact, low-noise pump that can run for extended periods is essential. Because it's not self-priming, it's best suited for applications where the pump can stay flooded or primed ahead of operation.
Whether you're replacing an aging unit or designing a new system, the MD-10L-220 offers a practical balance of durability, energy efficiency, and ease of integration. Its 35/64 inch hose barb ports simplify installation into existing tubing setups, and its polypropylene construction makes it a good fit for fluids that would corrode metal components over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the MD-10L-220 run dry without damage?
A: No, operating this pump without liquid can cause severe internal damage since it relies on the fluid for lubrication and cooling.
Q: What kind of motor protection does this pump have?
A: It includes a built-in thermal protector that automatically shuts the motor down if it overheats, then restarts once the temperature returns to normal.
Q: Is this pump suitable for corrosive fluids?
A: Its GFRPP polypropylene construction offers good chemical resistance, but compatibility should always be checked against the specific fluid being handled.
Q: Does the MD-10L-220 require a mechanical shaft seal?
A: No, it uses a magnetic drive coupling instead of a shaft seal, which helps prevent leaks at the pump shaft.
Q: What is the maximum liquid temperature this pump can handle?
A: It's rated for liquid temperatures between 32°F and 176°F (0°C to 80°C), though actual limits can vary depending on the fluid type.
