A drilling assembly includes a particle adjusting mechanism upstream of a positive displacement motor. The motor includes a metal stator, a metal rotor at least partially disposed within the metal stator, and a motor gap defined between the sealing line of the metal rotor and the lobes of the metal stator. The particle adjusting mechanism adjusts a solid particle condition of a media flowing therethrough into a treated condition in which any remaining solid particles will travel through the motor gap without widening the motor gap to a failure gap size that causes the metal rotor to lock up or to rotate inefficiently slow. The particle adjusting mechanism adjusts the solid particle condition by removing, reducing a size, reducing a dimension, deforming, modifying a shape, dissolving, or chemically reacting at least a portion of any solid particles contained in the media. The drilling assembly is suited for high temperature wellbores.

A scroll compressor that includes a housing and scroll compressor bodies disposed in the housing. The scroll bodies include a non-orbiting scroll body (also referred to as fixed) and a moveable body, where scroll bodies have respective bases and respective scroll ribs that project from the respective bases. The scroll ribs are configured to mutually engage, and the movable scroll body orbits relative to the fixed scroll body for compressing fluid. A pilot ring engages a perimeter surface of the fixed scroll body to limit movement of the fixed scroll body in the radial direction. A simplified holding plate prevents rotation between the pilot ring and the fixed scroll body.

A gear machine comprises a housing, at least two gearwheels positioned within the housing, and a bearing body defining a circular-cylindrical outer surface segment and a bearing bore. The at least two gearwheels configured to mesh in external engagement with each other. At least one of the gearwheels includes at least one bearing journal rotatably positioned within the bearing bore. The bearing body is positioned within the housing with the circular-cylindrical outer surface segment engaging a corresponding bearing surface defined on the inside of the housing. Each of the at least two gearwheels includes a plurality of tooth tips configured to engage a corresponding sealing surface defined on the inside of the housing. At least one segment of at least one of the sealing surface and the bearing bore is eccentric with respect to the circular-cylindrical outer surface segment of the bearing body. A method of production is also provided.

A scroll compressor, includes: a scroll compression mechanism including an orbiting scroll, a fixed scroll, and a thrust plate supporting a load of the orbiting scroll in a thrust direction; a back-pressure application mechanism that applies, as back pressure, the refrigerant gas compressed by the scroll compression mechanism to a rear surface of the thrust plate; and a floating amount restriction mechanism that restricts an amount of floating of the thrust plate caused by the back pressure. The floating amount restriction mechanism includes a restriction pin that includes a shaft part and a head part, and locks the thrust plate to the head part to restrict the amount of floating. The shaft part passes through the thrust plate and has a front end part fixed to a front housing, and the head part has a diameter larger than a diameter of the shaft part.

A method of treating, tuning, assembling, and/or overhauling a twin rotor device (200, 1200) includes applying a coating material (102) on an internal set of working surfaces (218, 222, 224, 226, 228, 1218, 1222, 1224, 1226, 1228) of the twin rotor device when at least partially assembled. The coating may be factory or field applied to a new or used twin rotor device. The working surfaces may be uncoated or previously coated and may be built-up as the coating material forms a coating (206, 1206) on at least some of the working surfaces. Manufacturing variations of a pair of rotors (220, 1220) and a housing (210, 1210) may be compensated by the coating. One or more performance characteristics of the twin rotor device may be improved by the coating, and variation between a series of twin rotor device may be reduced or substantially eliminated. The coating may reduce internal leakage and increase volumetric efficiency of the twin rotor device. The twin rotor device may be a supercharger 200, a screw compressor 1200, or other twin rotor device.

A scroll compressor having a bearing is provided. The scroll compressor includes: a casing; a main frame fixed to the casing and having a shaft insertion hole formed therein; a fixed scroll fixed to the casing and disposed above the main frame; an orbiting scroll forming a compression chamber together with the fixed scroll and having a boss portion formed on a lower surface thereof; a rotational shaft having an end portion insertedly fixed in the boss portion in a state in which the rotational shaft is insertedly positioned in the shaft insertion hole; and a lubricating layer made of a PEEK material and formed in the shaft insertion hole or the boss portion, wherein the lubricating layer is formed by applying a liquid material to the shaft insertion hole or the boss portion.

A method and a device for fixing and synchronizing rotary pistons in a rotary piston pump involves introducing the rotary pistons into the pump space of the rotary piston pump. A shaft stub of each rotary piston is then pushed through a pump rear wall onto a driveshaft provided for the respective rotary piston. The rotary pistons are aligned and synchronized in the pump space via a template, the template being fixed detachably to a pump housing. The shaft stubs of the respective rotary piston are connected, after the synchronization, in each case via a clamping device in a friction-locked manner to the respective driveshaft, outside the pump space.

A non-contacting scroll pump, the non-contacting scroll pump comprising a housing, an orbiting scroll located within the housing, and a thrust bearing assembly located within the housing for axially supporting the orbiting scroll. The thrust bearing assembly comprises a first plate fixed to the orbiting scroll, a second plate spaced apart from the first plate, a ball bearing located between the first plate and the second plate, the ball bearing being configured to roll against the first and second plates during orbiting of the orbiting scroll, and a coupling structure extending axially between the housing and the second plate to couple the housing to the second plate, wherein the coupling structure is engaged with the second plate, and wherein the coupling structure comprises a spring arranged to push the coupling structure against the second plate.
