The invention relates to a pump for fluid media, more particularly to a
cooling water pump for internal combustion engines with an electric motor
configured as a disk armature for actuating the pump, said electric motor
being directly connected to an impeller (6) of the pump. A simple
structure and high operational reliability are achieved in that a driving
flange (18) projects radially outward on the outer circumference of the
pump's impeller, magnets (19) or windings (20) being molded therein for
the contactless drive of the impeller (6).
