OIL PUMP
An oil pump includes a pump housing, a pump shaft, and a pump rotor assembly. The pump housing is capable of forming a pump cavity. The pump cavity includes a first cavity and a second cavity. The pump rotor assembly is provided in the first cavity. At least part of the pump shaft is provided in the second cavity. The pump rotor assembly includes a first rotor and a second rotor. The first rotor is capable of rotating the second rotor, and is fixedly connected to the pump shaft. The pump shaft is capable of rotating the first rotor. The first rotor includes a connecting portion. A connecting hole is provided in the connecting portion. At least part of the pump shaft is provided in the connecting hole. At least part of the connecting portion engages with at least part of the pump shaft.
Drive device
A drive device includes a rotor, a stator, a housing including an accommodation portion to store oil and accommodate the rotor and the stator, a pump driven through a motor shaft, and a valve in the housing. The pump includes a pump room in the housing, a suction port through which the oil is to be sucked into the pump room, and a discharge port through which the oil is to be discharged from the pump room. The housing includes a first oil passage connected to the discharge port and a branch oil passage that is connected to the first oil passage and is open to an inside of the accommodation portion on an upper side in a vertical direction of the stator. The motor shaft includes a second oil passage located in the motor shaft and connected to the first oil passage and a first through-hole connecting the second oil passage and an outer circumferential surface of the motor shaft. The valve is provided in the branch oil passage, and switched between a closed state in which a flow of the oil in the branch oil passage is blocked and an open state in which the flow of the oil in the branch oil passage is permitted.

Delivering and metering grease to process valves
System, apparatus, and method for delivering grease to process valve(s). The system generally includes a grease cylinder to which grease is delivered, a piston, an actuator, and a first process valve. The piston extends at least partially within the grease cylinder. The actuator strokes the piston within the grease cylinder to meter a first amount of the delivered grease to the first process valve. The actuator comprises a power cylinder within which the piston extends. The piston comprises a head portion slidably disposed in the power cylinder and dividing the power cylinder into first and second chambers. The head portion has a first cross-sectional area. The piston includes another portion contacting the grease in the grease cylinder and having a second cross-sectional area smaller than the first cross-sectional area. The actuator may also meter a second amount of the delivered grease to a second process valve.
