MIL-DTL-32408涵盖了美国海军舰艇和潜艇上用于船上应用的立式或卧式离心整体式电动泵（IMP）（见6.1）。泵应无密封，并配置为两端吸入，其中叶轮与叶轮一侧的所有轴承悬垂，或采用直列配置，叶轮位于两组轴承之间。该电机是一台由变速驱动器（VSD）控制的轴向磁场积分永磁电机。这些特性旨在使泵的设计无需常规维护要求，重量和尺寸明显小于等效的紧密耦合、端吸、感应电机驱动的离心泵。

MIL-DTL-32408 covers vertical or horizontal centrifugal Integral Motor Pumps (IMP) (see 6.1) for shipboard applications on U.S. Navy ships and submarines. Pumps are to be sealless and configured for either end suction where impeller is overhung with all bearings on one side of the impeller, or in an inline configuration with the impeller positioned between two sets of bearings. The motor is an axial-field integral permanent magnet machine controlled by a variable speed drive (VSD). These characteristics are intended to result in a pump design that has no routine maintenance requirements and weight and dimensions that are significantly smaller than the equivalent close coupled, end suction, induction motor driven centrifugal pump.
