A screw spindle pump having a housing hi which a drive spindle and at least one running spindle having profile assemblies which engage inside each other are received, the free end of the drive spindle and the end portion of the running spindle being supported on a plate which is arranged in the housing, the plate having two faces which are inclined in opposing directions relative to each other and which form a V-shape and on which one of the spindles is supported, respectively.

A screw spindle pump for delivering a cooling liquid for cooling a battery and/or power electronics or a cleaning or supply liquid of a motor vehicle, including a housing in which a working spindle, which is coupled to a drive assembly, and at least one running spindle, which meshes with the latter, are accommodated, and including a feather key-like support element, which is fixed by the housing and against which the working spindle and the running spindle are axially supported. In the housing, there is provided at least one aperture through which it is possible to insert the support element, which, in the assembled position, is received with one end in the aperture and with the other end in a receiving part situated diametrically opposite the aperture, wherein the support element is secured via at least one securing element which closes the aperture at the outside.

The invention relates to a bi-helical toothed wheel (1) with non-encapsulating profile for a hydraulic gear apparatus, of the type bound to a support shaft (5) to form a driving or driven wheel of the hydraulic apparatus and comprising a plurality of teeth (6) extended with variable helix angle with continuous function in the longitudinal direction, wherein the teeth profile keeps a shape continuity in each cross section thereof. More particularly, each tooth of the toothed wheel is longitudinally split in three zones: initial (A), central (B) and terminal (C) zones, and the central zone (B) has a variable helix angle, while the initial (A) and terminal (c) zones have a constant helix angle. The invention allows to manufacture contra-rotating rotors, having a non-encapsulating profile and a helix shape such as to suppress the angular point at the center of the rotors themselves and therefore all the problems related to their machining.

A rotary engine, parts thereof, and methods associated therewith is provided. The engine is modular and adjustable to accommodate a variety of requirements and preferences. The system includes a combustion assembly having a housing and a power rotor positioned therein. The power rotor rotates in a first direction from the beginning of each combustion process through the end of each exhaust process. The system also includes a compression assembly linked to the combustion assembly such that the compression rotor rotates in the first direction from the beginning of each intake process through the end of each compression process. A tank assembly in fluid communication with the compression assembly and the combustion assembly provides stability to the system while eliminating or otherwise reducing transitional loses.

A gear wheel (10) for a hydraulic apparatus is rotatable about an axis of rotation (H-H) and comprises a plurality of teeth (11) having a sectional profile (P) and being adapted to mesh with respective teeth of another gear wheel during a rotational motion about the axis of rotation (H-H), wherein at least one tooth (11) is shaped so as to have at least one cutting edge (12) configured to remove material, in particular chips, from a body which is contacted by said cutting edge during the rotation of the gear wheel (10). Suitably, the cutting edge (12) is defined by at least one groove (14) which is lowered by amount from 0.2% to 5% of the height (H′) of the tooth (11), said groove (14) decreasing away from the cutting edge (12) along the profile (P).
