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. |

An apparatus for protecting a fluid pump motor includes an electric motor for driving a pump head to pressurize a fluid. A liner is positioned in the motor air gap to prevent pressurized fluid from contacting one or more magnetic field producing elements of the stator. The liner includes a thin wall to minimize the air gap distance. The liner wall is made thin enough that, under loading of the pressurized fluid, the liner wall deforms and bears against one or more of the field producing elements of the stator for structural support. The liner is preferably fabricated as a single metal part using a deep drawing process that results in a can having opposed open and closed ends with a substantially uniform cross-section between the open and closed ends of the can. |

In a dry vacuum pump including: a casing having an inner cylinder (1a) communicating with an inlet (6) and an outlet (7) of the pump; shafts (15b) supported by the casing; spiral toothlike parts (15a) formed on the shaft (15b); a plurality of screw rotors (15), each of which includes the shaft (15b) and the spiral toothlike parts (15a) received in the inner cylinder (1a) intermeshing with each other; timing gears (16, 19), each of which is attached to the respective shafts (15b) of the screw rotors (15) and intermeshes with each other; and locking mechanisms (17), each of which for fixing the timing gear (16, 19) to the shaft (15b), both of the shaft (15b) and the toothlike part (15a) made of spheroidal graphite cast iron containing 20 to 30 wt % of nickel are casted integrally. With the construction described above, a problem such that a degree of vacuum deteriorates due to peeling of a resin coating is solved as to a dry vacuum pump pumping corrosive gas. A tapered face of 1/(20L) is formed with respect to the toothlike part (15a) so that an outer diameter of the toothlike part (15a) is shortened from the center of the toothlike part (15a) to the outlet side of the fluid, L being a length of the toothlike part, and a aground finish-surface is formed with respect to the toothlike part (15a) so that a diameter of the toothlike part (15a) is shortened by 3/100 to 4/100 mm from a position, where is about 10 mm offset toward the inlet side from the center of the toothlike part (15a), to the outlet side. With this construction, a seizure of the toothlike part (15a) is prevented from occurring. Nitrogen gas is supplied into the casing and an outlet path (20) connecting the outlet (7) with a scrubber (11) is a straight pipe, in which a silencer is removed. With this construction, heat capacity of the gas discharged from the outlet (7) is increased and reaction products are prevented from depositing in the outlet path (20). |

The present invention relates to a drive mechanism for a pump (10) implemented by means of a drive motor (20), the rotational speed and torque of which are influenced by a frequency converter (30). The frequency converter (30) is arranged on a heat dissipator (40) confining a flow of the pressure liquid guided to the pump (10). It is advantageous to also arrange the drive motor (20) inside the said heat dissipator (40), for this makes it possible to perform intense forced air cooling of a pump-drive motor system without the necessity of an additional cooling liquid. The drive motor (20) preferably has a central arrangement inside a tubular heat dissipator and is exposed to the pressure liquid over its entire circumference. Baffles or offset connecting sleeves allow for uniform flow through the entire heat dissipator (40). |

An extruder for plasticizing and extruding a material. The extruder is formed from two interfitted orbital scroll members. Material, usually in a solid state, can be fed between the scroll members. As the scroll members are rotated eccentrically with respect to one another, the material is conveyed toward the center of the scroll members within a pocket of ever decreasing volume. This applies shear energy to the material which causes melting. Heaters can be provided in the scroll members to further aid and control the melting. By the time the material reaches the central output, it is in a molten state and can be extruded through an output. A method for extruding, and an injection molding machine using such an extruder to plasticize plastic resin, such as PET, is also described. |

A gear pump which is fitted with a magnetic coupling (6) to ensure against leaks uses circulation of the pump fluid to cool the magnetic coupling. The circulation is established by supplying the pump rotor (4) with radial channels (24) which terminate in recesses on the periphery of the rotor and which are connected to an axial channel (26) in the rotor shaft leading to the end of the shaft which is nearest the magnetic coupling. The fluid which is drawn through the channels (24) is mixed with the main stream of fluid in a section which is cut out of the wall of the pump chamber (16), and fresh cooling fluid is drawn via the chamber (40) to the radial gap in the magnetic coupling. |
