A rotary action, self-priming positive displacement constant flow high capacity fluid pump is described. None of the pump parts touch in the pump chamber to minimize pump wear allowing for extended pump life. Since there are no touching parts in the pump chamber, the pump can be operated dry without the pump liquid being present without damage to the pump. The pump may be operated either clockwise or counter-clockwise without loss of positive displacement or reduction in fluids input or output. Due to the design of the pump, the pump is inherently low-maintenance and is highly resistant to clogging by debris and the like. Fluid pressure relief sections are provided by carving out of the inside portions of the housing structure to which the ends of the shaft are mounted to vary or improved pump performance.

A pump includes a housing defining an interior volume, a diaphragm partitioning the interior volume into a pumping chamber and an actuating chamber, a diaphragm support associated with the actuating chamber and configured to limit movement of the diaphragm, and a dispersion element coupled to the housing. The dispersion element includes a network of channels that is configured to distribute a fluid within the pump.

A pump includes a housings and a rotor capable of rotating within the housing. The rotor engages an interior surface of the housing in use, with at least two radially-inward shaped surfaces on the rotor forming respective chambers with the interior surface. In use, the chambers transport fluid from an inlet in the housing to an outlet in the housing as the rotor rotates. A seal provided between the inlet and the outlet will engage each of the shaped surfaces to prevent fluid passing from the outlet to the inlet as each shaped surface travels from the outlet to the inlet. The rotor includes a surface portion extending axially and circumferentially between respective edges of the shaped surfaces. On planes normal to an axis of rotation of the rotor, the surface portion of the rotor has a greater curvature than that of the interior surface of the housing.

A packing or seal stack for a pump includes alternating first type and second type packing rings of polymer material such as ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). The first and second type packing rings have essentially identical geometry, and the second type packing rings are lubricant filled polymer material. The geometry of the packing rings creates, when the packing rings are stacked, contact points that are positioned in a core area near a body center line of the ring bodies. Gaps are formed so that the packing rings do not contact one another near the inner and outer radial portions of the packing rings.

A rotor for a vane cell pumpin particular, for a vacuum pumpwith a base body that is made of plastic and can be driven by rotation, and that rotates about an axis of rotation during operation, wherein the base body comprises a guiding section for slidably receiving a pump vane and wherein the base body is flanked in the direction of the axis of rotation by a first bearing surface and a second bearing surface, wherein the second bearing surface comprises bearing sections that are at a distance from one another and that lie on a circular path that is arranged concentrically to the axis of rotation.

An eccentric screw pump, with a stator body having a jacket and an elastic inner lining, with which the jacket is provided. According to a first aspect, the jacket and the inner lining are in each case formed with a thermoplastic plastic material. According to a second aspect, the jacket is formed with a thermoplastic plastic material, the inner lining is formed with a material with elastomeric properties and the stator body is produced in a two-component injection molding process or in an at least two-stage casting process. According to a third aspect, the jacket has a screw surface-like outer surface on the outer side at least in sections, which is modified area by area at least by means of additional demolding surfaces. According to a fourth aspect, a stator for an eccentric screw pump is further proposed, having an inner component or inner lining, which is provided for a cooperation with a rotor of the eccentric screw pump and which is formed with a thermoplastic elastomer or a thermoplastic polyurethane. An eccentric screw pump and a method for the production of a stator for an eccentric screw pump are further proposed.

The disclosure relates to a screw pump comprising: a casing with an inlet, an outlet and a flow chamber between the inlet and the outlet; and at least two screws housed in the flow chamber to force a fluid flow through the flow chamber from the inlet to the outlet; wherein at least one of the screws comprises a lubricated polymer material.

A pump having a pumping module and a motor module. The motor module has an electric motor and a first rotatable shaft driven by the electric motor. The pumping module has a pump housing with an internal pumping chamber, a drive shaft opening, and inlet and outlet ports in flow communication with the pumping chamber. The pumping module also comprises a pumping mechanism disposed within the pumping chamber driven by a second rotatable shaft extending through the drive shaft opening and coupled to the first rotatable shaft by a polymeric coupler.

Described is a method for manufacturing a diaphragm assembly through the use of injection molding. The method can avoid the use of PTFE as a chemically resistant coating. Further, the method can increase overall adherence of a polymer diaphragm to an insert through the use of an interference surface on at least the surface of a head of the insert.

The disclosure relates to a screw pump comprising: a casing with an inlet, an outlet and a flow chamber between the inlet and the outlet; and at least two screws housed in the flow chamber to force a fluid flow through the flow chamber from the inlet to the outlet; wherein at least one of the screws comprises a lubricated polymer material.
