Abstract

An electromagnetic pump comprising fluid operation chambers for discharging fluid to the outside; and electromagnet connected to an AC power source device for polarity switching for every half cycle of AC when energized; a permanent magent which moves together with the electromagnets; and a reciprocative shaft holding the permanent magnet, which reciprocates in the shaft direction when the electromagnet is energized. The width of a securement portion for the permanent magnet of the reciprocative shaft is relatively narrow compared to the other portions, and the permanent magnet consists of a pair of permanent magnet pieces bonded together by sandwiching the securement portion therebetween. The electromagnetic pump further comprises a fluid operation member for expanding or contracting the volume in the fluid operation chamber by the reciprocation movement of the reciprocative shaft so as to guide fluid out.
