Abstract: An axial flux motor includes a housing; a drive shaft disposed within the housing; at least one rotor; and at least one stator. The at least one rotor includes a diametrically-magnetized single pole pair magnetic ring having a rotor aperture defined through the center of the magnetic ring, where the drive shaft extends through the rotor aperture and where the at least one rotor is fixed to the drive shaft. The at least one stator includes a number of conductive windings and a stator aperture, where the drive shaft extends through the stator aperture and where the drive shaft is rotatable within the aperture. The at least one stator is configured to generate an axial magnetic field that causes the at least one rotor to rotate, thereby rotating the drive shaft.

Abstract: Devices and methods for assisting blood flow are provided. The device includes a housing with an inlet and an outlet, and a fluid barrier separating the housing into a first section containing the inlet and outlet, and a second section. The device also includes an impeller shaft coupled to an impeller and a first magnet in the first section of the housing, and a drive shaft coupled to a second magnet in the second section of the housing. The first and second magnets are arranged such that rotation of the drive shaft rotates the second magnet causing rotation of the first magnet, which drives the impeller.

Abstract: A percutaneous circulatory support device including a percutaneous blood pump coupled to a distal end region of an elongate shaft at a junction. The percutaneous blood pump is configured to pump blood through a housing of the percutaneous blood pump during use. The junction includes an end cap at a proximal end of the percutaneous blood pump surrounding and secured to a distal end region of the elongate shaft at the junction. The junction may include a fillet of material surrounding a proximal end region of the end cap and extending proximally thereof and surrounding an exterior surface of the elongate shaft. The proximal end region of the end cap may include an annular side wall with one or more apertures and/or one or more grooves extending into the annular side wall in which the fillet of material extends into.
