A wet-type rotor pump which is particularly suitable for feeding coolant in motorcar
engines comprises a pump wheel. By the pump wheel, a feed medium is fed through
an intake channel into a discharge channel. Via a common shaft, a motor armature
of an electric motor is connected with the pump wheel. The motor armature is surrounded
by a slit pot, feed medium flowing around the motor armature to cool it. The shaft
is supported by two radial bearings, one radial bearing being arranged in a supporting
element. The supporting element that is arranged within the intake channel further
comprises an abutting surface on which a flow surface of the pump wheel abuts to
take up axial forces.
