A method for operating a progressive cavity pump wherein the stator has at least first and second active stator sections that are at different locations on the stator, comprising inserting a first rotor having a first active rotor section that is aligned with the first active stator section, and rotating the first rotor relative to the first active stator section such that the aligned first active rotor and stator sections generate a pumping force. Subsequently, the first rotor is removed and a second rotor is inserted having a second active rotor section that is aligned with the second active stator section, and rotating the second rotor relative to the second active stator section such that the aligned second active rotor and stator sections generate a pumping force.

A stator assembly for a progressive cavity pump or a progressive cavity motor includes connectors for connecting functional elements and at least one stator, the stator including an outer pipe as well as a lining subject to wear which is disposed inside the outer pipe, the at least one stator being disposed between the connectors such that a cavity extending across the entire stator assembly for housing a rotor is created. Between at least one of the connectors and at least one stator adjacent thereto and/or between adjacent stators an adhesion region is provided, whereby in the adhesion region an adhesive is disposed in such a way that between the at least one connector and the at least one stator adjacent thereto and/or between said respectively adjacent stators a substance-to-substance connection is created.

What is concerned is an eccentric screw pump having at least one stator (1), a rotor (2) rotating in the stator, a drive (3) for the rotor, a pump housing (4) which is connected to the stator (1) and has at least one inlet opening (6) for the medium to be conveyed, a connection housing (14) arranged between the pump housing (4) and drive (3), a connection shaft (9) which is connected to the drive (3) and is arranged at least in certain regions in the connection housing (14), and a coupling rod (10) which is arranged in the pump housing (4) and is connected to the connection shaft (9) via a drive-side joint (11) and to the rotor (2) via a rotor-side joint (12). The drive-side housing connection piece (16) can be demounted in such a way that the drive-side joint (11) can be exposed for maintenance or demounting.

A cam liner for use in an integrated drive generator has a cam liner body extending between a first end spaced from the second end by a first distance. The body is generally cylindrical. An outer diameter of the cam liner defines a second distance. A ratio of the first distance to the second distance is between 0.90 and 1.00. An integrated drive generator and a method are also disclosed.

A progressing cavity pump has: a stator; a rotor; the rotor having a first axial operating position within the stator in which a first axial part of the rotor aligns with a first axial part of the stator to form an active pump section adapted to generate a pumping force on rotation of the rotor in the stator; the rotor having a second axial operating position within the stator in which the first axial part of the rotor aligns with a second axial part of the stator to form an active pump section adapted to generate a pumping force on rotation of the rotor in the stator. A related method is disclosed.

A transmission pump is be removed from service and remanufactured into a remanufactured transmission pump. A first gear assembly is removed from the pump. A bore of the pump is machined from a first depth to a greater second depth. A second gear assembly is installed in the machined bore. The second gear assembly has a same horizontal geometry and a greater axial depth than the first gear assembly.

A down-hole tool and method for pressure testing production tubing within a borehole of a well returning the well to production, including a valve having a first valve member positioned within the tool housing and a second valve member moveable between a closed position and an open position; and a valve catcher engaged with a distal end of a rotor of the progressive cavity pump, the valve catcher for securing the second valve member in the open position with the valve catcher during rotational operation of the rotor and securing the second valve member with the valve catcher during removal of the second valve member from within the progressive cavity pump when the rotor is removed through the progressive cavity pump stator; wherein the production tubing may be pressure tested when the second valve member is in the closed position with respect to the first valve member.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a scroll-type fluid machine for which maintenance can easily be performed in necessary locations, and a maintenance method for said fluid machine. The present invention provides a scroll-type fluid machined characterized by being provided with a main body unit for compressing a fluid, and a motor unit for driving the main body unit; the main body unit having a fixed scroll, a revolving scroll, a main body casing, and an autorotation-preventing mechanism that is held by the revolving scroll and the main body casing and that prevents autorotation of the revolving scroll; the motor unit having a rotor, a stator for causing the rotor to rotate, a shaft that rotates integrally with the rotor, a motor cover for housing the rotor and the stator, and a main bearing that is secured to the interior by the motor cover and that supports the shaft; a distal end of the shaft having an eccentric part; the main body unit and the motor unit being connected via the eccentric part; and the main body casing and the motor cover being fastened by a fastening member.

The invention relates to a screw spindle pump, with a housing (2) which surrounds a delivery chamber (5), two spindles (7, 8), namely a drive spindle (7) and an opposed running spindle (8), a housing insert (6) which is arranged in the housing (2) and in which the spindles (7, 8) are accommodated, at least one bearing element (13, 13), which is connected to the housing insert (6) and on which bearings (12) of the spindles (7, 8) are arranged, and with at least one housing cover (14, 14), closing a housing opening. It is the object of the invention to provide a screw spindle pump at which maintenance and inspection work can be carried out more simply and cost-effectively. The invention achieves this object in that the bearing element (13, 13) together with the housing insert (6) and the spindles (7, 8) accommodated therein forms a unit (15) which, after the housing cover (14, 14) is taken off, is removable from the housing (2) through the housing opening.
