The invention relates to a rotary sliding vane machine (1) for fluid processing, comprising a housing (2) with a cavity (4) with a rotor (9). Vanes (12) are arranged in outwardly directed slots (13) in the rotor (9), and relative sliding between the vanes and the rotor provides spaces with variable volumes in the rotational direction. Each vane is supported by a vane bearing apparatus (102) comprising a slide bearing body (105) with a slot (13) forming a slide bearing for the vane (12), and a cylindrical convex face (116) facing away from the slot (13), and, on each side of the slot (13), a pivot bearing pad (106) with a cylindrical concave face (117) facing the slide bearing convex face (116), forming a pivot bearing for the vane.

The electric hydraulic cylinder is provided with: the electric motor; the gear pump configured to be driven by the rotation by the electric motor. The electric motor has the motor housing and the rotating shaft supported by the motor housing so as to be freely rotatable. The gear pump has: the drive gear into which the rotating shaft of the electric motor is inserted; the driven gear meshed with the drive gear; and the pump housing configured to accommodate the drive gear and the driven gear, and the motor housing is attached to the pump housing such that the gap is formed between the motor housing and the pump housing in the radial direction of the rotating shaft.

A vane pump comprises a housing and a control slide. A rotor rotates to draw lubricant into a rotor receiving space of the slide via a housing inlet and discharges the lubricant via an outlet. The control slide moves to change its eccentricity relative to the rotor for increasing and decreasing a pressure differential between the inlet and outlet. The control slide is biased in a displacement increasing direction. The control slide has one or more seals defining a control chamber with housing. The one or more seals includes a seal assembly received in a recess on a control slide outer surface. The seal assembly has a base element in the recess and a bearing element pivotally attached to the base element and bearing against an inner surface of the housing for sealing. The pivotal attachment includes male and female pivotal connectors coupled together.

Provided is an electric pump device which includes a motor having a shaft extending along a first central axis, a pump portion driven by the motor, and a housing for housing the motor and the pump portion. The housing includes: a housing body portion which has a bottomed tube shape and extends in an axial direction, a flange portion which expands radially outward from an outer peripheral surface of the housing body portion, a seal portion which has a ring shape extending in a circumferential direction and is arranged at a corner portion in which the outer peripheral surface of the housing body portion and an end surface facing one axial side of the flange portion are connected, and a projection portion extending from a bottom portion of the housing body portion toward one axial side. A second central axis of the projection portion is arranged at a position shifted in a radial direction from the first central axis. The flange portion has positioning portions on the end surface facing the one axial side of the flange portion. The positioning portions have a convex shape projected from the end surface facing the one axial side of the flange portion toward the one axial side or a hole shape recessed from the end surface toward the other axial side.

An automotive hydraulic actuating system for actuating a movable vehicle part, like a roof part or a wheel suspension. The actuating system comprises a pump unit. The pump unit comprises a piston pump which has a pump rotor and an electric motor which has a motor rotor. The pump rotor and motor rotor are incorporated into a single common rotor. The rotor is a one piece item. The rotor is positioned inside a pump chamber around a pump stator of the piston pump. The pump stator provides a full support to the common rotor. Advantageously, without a separate motor stator, the pump unit has a more compact configuration. Additionally, the pump unit has an improved dynamic performance which contributes to a silent and reliable operation at a high rotational speed.

A seal tube assembly of a pump system is provided. The seal tube assembly includes a single seal tube having a first axial end sealably coupled to a first vane pump and a second axial end sealably coupled to a second vane pump. The single seal tube includes transverse contact surfaces at the first axial end and transverse contact surfaces at the second axial end. The single seal tube is formed to define a first seal tube cavity at the first axial end and a second seal tube cavity at the second axial end.

A rotary positive displacement pump comprises a housing rotationally supporting first and second parallel and axially extending drive shafts having constantly meshing gears such that the drive shafts rotate in opposite directions. A rotor casing is connected to a front side of the housing and has axial rear and front walls and a circumferential side wall jointly defining a pumping cavity. The casing houses first and second rotors drivingly connected to the first and second drive shafts respectively. The rotors rotate in opposite directions and mutually interact to provide a positive pumping effect on fluid product entering the cavity. First and second sealing arrangements prevent leakage of fluid product from the cavity towards the rear side of the casing along the first/second drive shafts. A heating device is detachably fastened to the rear casing wall to heat the casing, the first/second sealing arrangements and/or any fluid product within the casing.

A rotary positive displacement pump comprises a transmission housing having front and rear walls and rotationally supporting first and second drive shafts having constantly meshing gears such that the drive shafts rotate in opposite directions. A rotor casing connected to a front side of the housing has rear and front walls and a circumferential side wall defining an interior pumping cavity. The casing houses first and second rotors drivingly connected to the first and second drive shafts to provide a positive pumping effect on fluid product entering the cavity. The front and rear walls of the housing define an intermediate space through which the drive shafts extend. A first guard is located in the intermediate space and surrounds the drive shafts, or first and second guards are located in the intermediate space and surround the first and second drive shafts respectively, for protecting a person from contacting the drive shafts.

An electric pump includes: a motor housing; a pump housing adjacent to the motor housing; a rotor accommodated in the motor housing and axially supported by a rotating shaft; a stator disposed radially outward of the rotor and fixed to the motor housing; a pump unit accommodated in the pump housing and configured to suck and discharge a fluid by rotation of the rotor; and a cup-shaped can provided between the rotor and the stator to prevent the fluid in the pump unit from being introduced into the stator. A seal member is disposed between the can and the motor housing, and a communication path communicating inner and outer sides of the can is formed between the motor and pump housings at a position closer to an opening side of the can than the seal member.

A motorized pump assembly includes a pump and a motor for driving the pump. The pump includes a pump housing that at least in part defines a pump chamber. The motor includes a stator, a rotor rotatable about an axis, a motor housing, and a bearing assembly. The rotor includes a motor shaft extending along the axis. The motor housing includes an endshield that at least in part defines a motor chamber in which the stator and the rotor are at least substantially received. The bearing assembly rotatably supports the motor shaft on the endshield. The pump housing and the endshield are fixed to one another and cooperatively at least in part define an overflow chamber adjacent the pump chamber. The endshield defines a drainage channel fluidly interconnected with the overflow chamber and configured to direct fluid from the overflow chamber away from the bearing assembly.
