Electrically-operated fuel pump

摘要

Disclosed is an electrically-operated fuel pump for pumping fuel such as gasoline, light oil and heavy oil, comprising a pump housing; a motor having a rotating shaft and encased centrally in the pump housing, the motor comprising a rotor formed by fixing a permanent magnet to the rotating shaft thereof and a stator arranged around the rotor, the stator having plural windings of coils adapted to be sequentially excited to rotate the rotor; a pump section encased in the pump housing below the motor and operatively connected to the rotating shaft of the motor; and an electric circuit package made of an oil-resistant and water-resistant material and incorporated in the pump housing above the motor, the electric circuit package oil-tightly incorporating a plurality of rotor position detecting devices for detecting an angular position of the rotor, wherein a portion of the electric circuit package facing to the rotor is made of a paramagnetic material.
