Abstract

In the method for the determination of the pressure (p) in and/or of the through-flow (Q) of a liquid through a pump having at least one magnetic bearing for the axial journaling of the pump rotor (1), axial forces act on the rotor (1) of the pump during operation. The axial forces which act on the rotor are utilised for the determination of the pressure (p) and/or of the through-flow (Q).
