A pump comprises a housing, with an interior defining a rotor path, an inlet formed in the housing at a first position on said rotor path, an outlet formed in the housing at a second position on said rotor path spaced from said first position. A rotor is rotatable in the housing with a first surface that seals against the housing. A second surface is formed on said rotor circumferentially spaced from said first surface and forms a chamber that travels around said rotor path to convey fluid from the inlet to the outlet. A resilient seal formed with the housing is located on the rotor path to prevent fluid flow from said outlet to said inlet past the seal. A passage may be provided to supply fluid to an under surface of the seal at a pressure that acts to urge the seal against the rotor. |

A seal member is configured so that an annular rubber member is disposed in an annular storage chamber of a resin annular member. Thus, the rubber annular member is not directly in contact with a drive shaft, and the rubber annular member can be prevented from wearing or peeling without requiring a rotation stopping structure for the seal member. Furthermore, the seal member is provided with first and second communication mouths, so that a brake fluid pressure is applied to compartments obtained by dividing the annular storage chamber using the rubber annular member. Thus, the rubber annular member is pressed, and then is elastically deformed, and accordingly, the resin annular member is expanded by the elastic force. Thus, a self-sealing operation can be performed on the basis of a high pressing force. |

A control device for a positive displacement pump includes a throttle device and a flow control valve. The flow control valve includes a flow control piston and is configured to regulate an unrequired excess flow of the pump at an increased speed. The throttle device is configured to produce a speed-related pressure differential in a bore section, the pressure differential being responsible for the displacement of the flow control valve and the throttle device. The throttle device is arranged in the pressure outlet (bore section) of the pump and includes a regulating pin connected to the flow control piston, having a control contour configured so that a modifiable through cross-section is created in association with a throttle bore. The control pin has a wider section in an axial displacement area of the throttle device, the area not being involved in control of the volume flow, whereby a minimum obturating section arises in the displacement area. This may result in accelerated movement of the flow control piston, which may result in quicker reaction of the control mechanism, thereby preventing an overshoot and overincrease in the flow capacity. |

A system and method for transporting high-viscosity, high-solids, dewatered materials essentially includes a progressing cavity pump system utilizing a twin-screw feeder with an extended tunnel section. The feeding of the material into an extended tunnel section of the twin screw feeder creates a positive pressure, which assists in feeding the product into the suction housing of the progressing cavity pump, and correspondingly, into the pumping elements. This increases volumetric (fill) efficiency of the progressing cavity pump, thereby allowing a smaller pump to be used. The suction housing of the progressing cavity pump includes an auger positioned therein that is directly coupled to, and preferably integral with, the progressing cavity rotor. The universal joint is moved from the position in front of the stator entrance to a point behind the auger and suction inlet opening to improve flow of material from the suction housing to the progressing cavity pump elements. The inlet conduit coupled to the transition housing is angled slightly towards the direction of flow to further improve the flow efficiency and increase the fill rate of the progressing cavity pump elements. The feeder mechanism of the present system is radially set apart from the progressing cavity elements, where the materials are transported from the extended tunnel section of the feeder to the suction housing of the progressing cavity pump by a transition conduit. In one embodiment, the feeder is positioned above the progressing cavity pumping elements providing a taller system but with a relatively small footprint. |

The present invention is directed to an apparatus for determining vane wear in rotary sliding vane pumps that operate using slideable vanes, while the pump is in operation. The invention includes a structure that allows a predetermined amount of leakage from a pumping chamber after a predetermined amount of vane length is worn away. The leakage produces a decrease in pump efficiency that is indicated by an indicating device. The indicating device serves to warn that an amount of vane wear has occurred that indicates pump inspection is warranted. The invention also includes a view port formed in the pump housing to allow inspection of the vanes without having to disassemble the pump. |

A rotary pump has a block with inlet and outlet ducts and ports. A pump housing forming a pump cavity and accommodating working means of the pump, e.g., gears, is located on one side of the pump block, whereas drive means such as a magnetic coupling are placed on the other side of the block. In the case of a gear pump, the driving gear is connected to the drive magnet of the coupling through a drive shaft which passes through the axial bore in the block. The drive gear meshes with a driven gear which is mounted on a second shaft, also supported in bushings in the block. One set of ends of the shafts extends outside the pump housing and are inserted into bushings loosely fitted in recesses of a bearing support plate. This plate is attached to the block by removable screws extending through holes in the supporting plate and pump housing. The arrangement described makes it possible to replace worn parts of the pump, such as gears, shafts and bushings in a matter of minutes without the necessity of disconnecting the pump block and any piping or electrical connections to the motor. |

A vane type hydraulic pump has a pressure plate, thrust plate, cam ring, rotor and vanes, which when assembled, are denoted as the pump rotating group. The thrust plate, pressure plate and cam ring are maintained in axial and angular alignment by a pair of dowel pins which extend between the plates and through the cam ring with a close fit relationship. The plates and cam ring are restrained from rotation by a dowel pin which extends between a close fit in the pump housing and a loose fit in the pressure plate. The rotating group is disposed in a cylindrical cavity in the pump housing which cavity has a diametral dimension cooperating with the outer diameter of the pressure plate and thrust plate to provide a sliding pilot fit at assembly thereby sharing the axial alignment constraint of the pair of dowel pins. |

An improved pump and motor assembly is utilized to regulate a flow of fuel to an internal combustion engine. All of the fluid connections to the pump are connected with one end of the assembly. The pump and motor are both enclosed within a one-piece casing having a tubular side wall which is integrally formed with an end wall. The end section to which all of the fluid connections for the pump are made, is connected across the open end of the tubular side wall. To provide for the removal of vapor bubbles from the fuel, fuel supplied under pressure from the tank flows through an inlet cavity which circumscribes the pump and has an axial extent which is equal to the length of the pump. In addition, a screen at the inlet of the pump itself blocks the flow of vapor bubbles from the inlet cavity to the pump. The forces applied against opposite sides of the moving components of the pump by the inlet fluid are substantially balanced. Fluid pressure pulses in fuel discharged from the pump are dampened in an outlet cavity by a seal member which sealingly engages an outer cheek plate of the pump to separate the inlet and outlet cavities. A single spring element is utilized to perform the dual functions of pressing the seal member into engagement with the outer cheek plate of the pump and to press the outer cheek plate and cam ring against the inner cheek plate. |
