In the article by Unaclocker "Magdrive Impeller Silencing", he mentions pumps where impellers can rotate as much as 3/4 a turn from the shaft (magnet) freely. Can't imagine the Eheim being able to do that with the splines that index the impeller onto the shaft.
Mine could rotate slightly. This changes from one pump to another, but all those aquarium pumps have this security (so gravel / solid objects can go through without damaging the shaft).
