The pump (1) comprises a synchronous alternating current electrical motor (5) having a permanent magnet rotor (7) and a bladed impeller (16) coupled to an end (9a) of the rotor (7) which extends into a cavity (19) in the hub (17) thereof. That end (9a) of the rotor (7) and the hub (17) of the impeller (16) are provided with a first and a second transverse coupling formation (40, 41), respectively, which have respective angular extensions ( alpha + beta + gamma ; delta ) which are predetermined in such a manner that there is angular play, suitable for promoting the starting of the motor (5), between the rotor (7) and the impeller (16). The coupling formation (40) of the rotor (7) comprises a transverse appendage (30) which extends from and is integral with a drive body (26) of rigid material secured to the rotor (7), and a damping formation (35) moulded in a single piece of resilient material onto the drive body (26) and having two end portions (35a, 35b) which are to engage the coupling formation (41) of the impeller (16), and an intermediate connecting and retaining portion (35c) which interconnects the end portions (35a, 35b) and which extends at least partially through the drive body (26) so that the damping formation (35) as a whole is constrained in a stable manner, axially and angularly, on the drive body (26). <IMAGE> <IMAGE> |
