A gear pump includes gears received within a housing defining an inlet, an outlet and end plates. The gears have shaft portions on each of two sides of each of the two gears. The shaft portions are mounted in journal bearings. The journal bearings each have a gear side face adjacent one of the two gears. A remote face is on a remote side of the journal bearing remote from each of the two gears. There is a plurality of heat pipes in at least one of the journal bearings. The heat pipes move heat from the gear face of the at least one of the journal bearings to the remote face. The plurality of heat pipes is enclosed by the housing, and extend generally in an axial direction from an end adjacent the gear face to an end adjacent the remote face. A fuel supply system is also disclosed.

Method and apparatus for improving the performance, response, and durability of an electro-hydraulic active suspension system. The noise caused by hydraulic flow ripple is reduced and system response is improved.

A scroll compressor is provided, the scroll compressor comprises two scroll bodies each having a scroll rib and the scroll ribs engage each other to form at least one compression chamber, and the scroll compressor further comprises a drive shaft for driving a moveable scroll body of the two scroll bodies, wherein the moveable scroll body comprises a base plate which has two opposing sides, wherein on a first side of the two opposing sides the scroll rib is arranged and on a second side of the two opposing sides a hub is arranged, the hub comprising a receiving portion for a drive section of the drive shaft, and wherein the moveable scroll body comprises at least one passage from an interior of the receiving portion to a hub environment located around the hub at the second side of the two opposing sides.

A pump assembly comprising at least one housing and two gear wheels. The housing comprises at least one base plate and a cover element, which are interconnectable to form a pressure chamber. An outer circumferential surface of each of the two gear wheels has a toothing, and the gear wheels intermesh via the toothings to convey a fluid. The gear wheels are arranged along an axial direction in the pressure chamber between the base plate and the cover element. The pressure chamber is formed in the housing at least by two bores. The first gear wheel is arranged in a first bore and the second gear wheel is arranged in a second bore. Centering pins are provided for aligning the bores and the gear wheels with respect to one another, wherein all centering pins are arranged exclusively in the cover element or exclusively in the base plate.

A rotary compressor includes a casing including an oil reservoir configured to store lubricating oil inside, and a compression mechanism including a reciprocator and a support. The reciprocator defines a compression chamber and reciprocating along a first direction. The support has a support surface configured to support the reciprocator. The support surface includes a first groove and a second groove formed therein. The first groove extends along a second direction intersecting with the first direction and is configured to transfer the lubricating oil to the second groove. The second groove extends from a center of the first groove toward the compression chamber along the first direction.

A pump body assembly includes: a crankshaft, a first baffle plate and a second baffle plate. The crankshaft includes a first eccentric portion, a support shaft and a second eccentric portion which are arranged at intervals in an axial direction; the first baffle plate and the second baffle plate are arranged in sequence between the first eccentric portion and the second eccentric portion, a first round hole is arranged defined on the first baffle plate, the support shaft is arranged in the first round hole, so that the first baffle plate and the support shaft form a baffle plate bearing, and the baffle plate bearing has a stress relief structure for reducing a contact stress between the support shaft and the first baffle plate.

A cast for producing end plates for a pump assembly, the cast comprising a base portion and a pair of projections, the pair of projections providing material to machine bearing assembly housings for accommodating drive and idler shafts in the pump assembly. Also provided is an inner plate bushing for an end plate in a pump assembly, the inner plate bushing comprising a collar extending from a flange, the collar to be inserted into a mounting recess in the end plate with the flange seating flush with a surface of the end plate, the surface area of an end of the collar being larger than an inner surface of the flange.

A motor-pump system includes a first housing part, a hydraulic pump, an electric motor, and a sensor board. The hydraulic pump includes an outer gerotor rotationally supported on the first housing part and an inner gerotor rotationally supported on the first housing part. The electric motor includes a stator assembly rotationally fixed in the first housing part and a rotor assembly with a non-ferrous sensor target, fixed to the outer gerotor. The sensor board includes a plurality of sensor traces for inductively sensing a signal from the non-ferrous sensor target when the outer gerotor is rotated.

A compressor may include a shell, a bearing housing, an orbiting scroll, and a non-orbiting scroll. The bearing housing is supported within the shell and includes a central body and a plurality of arms. Each arm extends radially outwardly from the central body and has a first aperture. The orbiting scroll is supported on the bearing housing. The non-orbiting scroll is meshingly engaged with the orbiting scroll and includes a plurality of second apertures. Each second aperture receives a plurality of bushings and a fastener. The fastener extends through the bushings and into a corresponding one of the first apertures in the bearing housing to rotatably secure the non-orbiting scroll relative to the bearing housing while allowing relative axial movement between the non-orbiting scroll and the bearing housing.

A gear bearing structure for an external gear pump includes a driving gear and the driven gear accommodated rotatably in a pump body of the external gear pump, an inlet chamber formed on one side of a mesh portion of the driving gear and the driven gear, an outlet chamber formed on the other side of the mesh portion, a hollow cylindrical bushing for holding a rotational shaft of the driving gear or the driven gear with a lubricating liquid film formed between itself and the rotational shaft, and a ring plate spring disposed between the pump body and the bushing to urge the bushing so as to slidably contact with a side face of the one of the driving gear and the driven gear.
