An internal gear pump for a slip-controlled hydraulic vehicle braking system includes a pump shaft that is mounted rotatably on one side of a pinion and a ring gear that is mounted rotatably in an axial disk. The axial disk seals off the pinion and the ring gear at the sides.

A pump assembly includes a housing, and first and second rotor that are rotatable within the housing and mesh with each other. The pump assembly includes wear plates arranged on opposing sides of the rotors and a separation mechanism that is engageable with the wear plates and enables axial movement of the wear plates relative to the rotors. The wear plates are normally biased to be disengaged from the rotors and axially moveable to engage the rotors when pressure in the pump assembly exceeds a predetermined pressure threshold. The rotors may be lobe gears that each include a plurality of lobes. The lobes may include wiper retaining recesses that retain wiper inserts and the walls of the wiper retaining recesses may have pressure trapping grooves that enable trapped fluid to flow out of the wiper retaining recesses for pressure relief.

A scroll type positive displacement assembly includes a first scroll and a second scroll, where the second scroll is configured to orbit with respect to a center of the first scroll without rotating with respect to the first scroll. Together, the first scroll and the second scroll define a compression chamber between two seal points where the first scroll and the second scroll contact one another as the second scroll orbits with respect to the first scroll during a compression cycle, and the two seal points come together proximate to a discharge port between the first scroll and the second scroll such that there is at least substantially no dead space between the first scroll and the second scroll at an end of the compression cycle. For example, the two seal points remain in sealing contact during at least one hundred and eighty (180) degrees of the compression cycle.

A rotary vacuum pump includes a housing defining a pump chamber therein and a rotor extending through a first axial end panel into the pump chamber and carrying at least one vane for rotary movement of the vane within the pump chamber. The rotor comprises an annular axial end face configured to seal against a corresponding contact surface of a second axial end panel. An annular groove for reducing noise generation of the rotary vacuum pump during operation is formed at the annular axial end face of the rotor and/or the contact surface of the second axial end panel.

A rotary pump, preferably a vacuum pump, featuring: a delivery space including an inlet on a low-pressure side and an outlet on a high-pressure side of the pump; a rotor which is arranged in the delivery space and delivers a fluid from the inlet into the delivery space to the outlet from the delivery space; at least one housing part which delineates the delivery space at least axially; and a drive shaft which is connected in drive terms to the rotor; including at least one sealing element which is connected, secured against shifting and/or rotating, to the drive shaft and/or rotor and forms a radial sealing gap with the housing part.

A scroll compressor that includes a rotating shaft, an eccentric bush having a recess, into which one end of the shaft is inserted, and an eccentric portion eccentric to the shaft, an orbiting scroll operatively connected to the eccentric portion for orbiting, a fixed scroll engaged with the orbiting scroll, and a buffer member interposed between the one end of the shaft and the recess. Therefore, it is possible to prevent damage to the scrolls due to liquid refrigerant compression during initial operation and to prevent an impact sound between the shaft and the eccentric bush due to the rotational clearance therebetween.

Provided is a scroll-type fluid machine that prevents wear of the parts of the fluid machine and improves the reliability thereof by reducing the amount of dust that reaches a face seal. The present invention comprises a revolving scroll that includes an end plate and a lap part provided to the end plate, and that moves in a revolving manner; a fixed scroll that includes an end plate, a lap part provided to the end plate such that a compression chamber is formed between itself and the lap part of the revolving scroll, and a flange that opposes the end plate of the revolving scroll; and a face seal that is provided between the flange of the fixed scroll and the end plate of the revolving scroll, and that seals a space between the fixed scroll and the revolving scroll, with the scroll-type fluid machine further comprising a shield part that suppresses dust from reaching the face seal from the outside in the radial direction.

Devices for exchanging properties, such as pressure, between at least two fluid streams and related methods may include pistons coupled to a valve stem. The valve stem and valve body may be configured to define a primary seal between the one or more pistons and the valve body and a secondary seal between the one or more pistons and the valve body.

A sealing arrangement for a sliding vane machine for compressing or expanding a fluid, for sealing between a rotating plane surface on a rotor and a machine housing to prevent flow of process fluid between an internal volume to an external volume of said vane machine a seal pocket located at a housing end and said seal pocket opens towards the direction of the external volume and the internal volume, an assembly arranged for mounting in said seal pocket, said assembly comprising: a piston arrangement, a sealing bearing ring between said piston arrangement and said plane surface, a fluid supply line for a pressurized lubrication fluid through said housing to a piston cavity, said piston arrangement further having piston fluid channels and said bearing sealing ring having lubrication conduits through said bearing seal ring, corresponding with said piston fluid channels, said pressurized lubrication fluid arranged for moving said piston against said sealing bearing ring and thus moving said sealing bearing ring against said sealing surface thus forming a sealing arrangement.
