A diaphragm is made of an elastically deformable material, and is provided in the pump chamber so as to cover the diaphragm attaching opening. The diaphragm deformer elastically deforms the diaphragm to change a capacity of the inner space. The outlet opening is located at a highest position in the inner space of the pump chamber.

A bearing carrier is provided. The bearing carrier including: a bearing body of a first material having a shaft-receiving aperture and a bridge land with a finger cut to channel fluid pressurized by intermeshing of gears rotatably supported by the bearing carrier into an outlet defined by a housing enveloping the bearing carrier, wherein the bearing body includes a bearing face configured to be in a facing spaced relationship with the gears, wherein the bearing face includes a second material integral with the first material, wherein at least one of the first material and the second material define a portion of the bearing face of the bearing body extending about the shaft-receiving aperture, the portion of the bearing face excluding the bridgeland.

A membrane system comprising a membrane and connecting elements for connecting the membrane to a membrane pump for conveying a fluid, which membrane pump has a drive shaft designed for an oscillating translatory movement perpendicular to the plane of the membrane during operation of the membrane pump and has an external thread at an end portion for engagement with the membrane system by screwing. To ensure a secure and torque-proof connection between the membrane and the connecting element to be screwed to a drive shaft, the connecting elements comprise a threaded socket, a thrust ring and a thrust plate.

The disclosure provides a gear pump rotor assembly that includes a rotor body, a rotor head having a plurality of gear teeth and being connected to the rotor body, at least one connector extending between the rotor body and the rotor head, at least one radial deformation control member that extends into at least one gear tooth of the rotor head and reduces the radial deformation of the rotor head relative to the rotor body when a change in temperature causes radial deformation of the rotor body and rotor head.

Compressor device provided with at least one compressor element and a drive for the compressor element, wherein all bearings of at least one shaft in the compressor device configured to carry static axial load, are provided with a bearing damper which comprises a coupling element and at least one damping element made of damping elastomer material. The bearing damper is installed with the aid of the coupling element between a bearing of the compressor device and the housing of the compressor device. The coupling element allows little or no movement of the bearing relative to the housing the radial direction compared to the axial direction. The damping element is configured to dampen the axial movement of the bearing relative to the housing.

A supporting pole for supporting objects at an elevated position, such as a supporting pole for supporting cables, wires and/or electrical components. The supporting pole is formed of one or more fiber reinforced plastic resin laminates, wherein the one or more laminates comprise: a first ply, the first ply comprising unidirectional fibers, the unidirectional fibers having a first Young's modulus, and a second ply, the second ply comprising chopped fibers, the chopped fibers having a second Young's modulus; wherein the first Young's modulus is greater than the second Young's modulus, and wherein the unidirectional fibers in the laminate are at least 70 wt % of the fibers in the laminate.

A rotary pump is presented for use in a medicament delivery device, where the pump has a back plate having an inner surface and a rotor housing is positioned adjacent to the back plate having a peripheral wall. A front plate support is connected to the back plate and a flexible front plate is positioned between the front plate support and the rotor housing. The pump is rotated using a planetary gear transmission, where an eccentric shaft is operatively connected to the planetary gear mechanism. A rotor is rotationally fixed to the eccentric shaft and movably positioned within rotor housing. The rotor has three lobes, where each lobe has two peripheral curved surfaces sharing a common apex, where a first portion of each peripheral surface adjacent to the apex defines a non-smooth curve.

A rotary compressor includes a compressor housing that is provided with a refrigerant discharge portion and a refrigerant suction portion, and an accumulator that is fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the compressor housing and connected to the suction portion. The accumulator has a cylindrical body portion, which is formed of a resin material, an upper portion, which is formed of a metal material and closes an upper end of the body portion, and a lower portion, which is formed of a metal material and closes a lower end of the body portion, the upper portion is joined to the upper end of the body portion, and the lower portion is joined to the lower end of the body portion.

A scroll pump tip seal to seal a single stage of a scroll pump that includes a first scroll and a second scroll. The tip seal is formed of a plurality of seal segments fitted contiguously end to end to a tip face the scroll wall of the scroll to form a continuous seal between the tip face and a base plate of the second scroll.

A diaphragm pump includes a pump chamber, a diaphragm, and a diaphragm deformer. The pump chamber is box-shaped and includes at least an inlet opening, an outlet opening, and a diaphragm attaching opening. The pump chamber is provided with an inner space. A diaphragm is made of an elastically deformable material, and is provided in the pump chamber so as to cover the diaphragm attaching opening. The diaphragm deformer elastically deforms the diaphragm to change a capacity of the inner space. The outlet opening is located at a highest position in the inner space of the pump chamber.
