A process for constructing a hybrid material part includes mixing a metal powder and a binder to form a compounded mixture, heating the compounded mixture, injecting the compounded mixture into a first mold to form a green part, and debinding the green part to form a brown part. The process further includes sintering the brown part to form a sintered part, and over-molding the sintered part with a plastic in a second mold of an injection molding machine to form the hybrid material part. A hybrid material pump part is disclosed as well.

An improved screw pump such as, for example, a twin screw pump is disclosed. In one embodiment, the screw pump includes a casing, first and second intermeshing rotors, and a liner positioned between the first and second rotors and the casing. In use, the liner is arranged and configured to bend and/or pivot in unison with the first and second rotors under the axial hydraulic pressure experienced by the screw pump during use. In one embodiment, the liner may be arranged and configured to include an asymmetric axial stiffness to facilitate bending of the liner. In another embodiment, the liner may be arranged and configured in multiple segments, the segments being arranged and configured to pivot to approximate the bending of the rotor shafts.

A progressing cavity device operates as a motor to impart torque to a bit. A stator of the device defines an internal profile having uphole stages with a first dimension being less than a second dimension of downhole stage. A rotor has an external profile with a constant outer dimension along its length. Disposed in the stator, the rotor defines cavities with the stator and is rotatable with pumped fluid progressing in the cavities from the uphole to downhole to transfer torque to the drive toward the downhole end. Although the rotor is subjected at the downhole end to a reactive torque from the bit, the interference fit of the rotor's constant dimension with the stator's downhole stages is less than with the uphole stages, which can mitigate issues with heat buildup in the downhole stages. The device can also operates as a progressing cavity pump.

It is intended to provide a vacuum pump so that without upsizing the vacuum pump, noise and vibration are reduced, heat dissipation property is secured, and the casing is downsized. Therefore, at least one turning part is provided in an exhausting path formed in a casing body. The casing body is formed of a material whose thermal conductivity is higher than that of a rotor and vanes, and a cylinder part where the vanes slide is press fitted in the casing body.

A water pump with a stator, a chamber defined inside the stator, a ring arranged inside said chamber having a radially outer surface in contact with a radially inner surface of the stator, and a rotor arranged inside the ring and rotatable around a rotation axis. The rotor has a plurality of vanes movable along respective radial directions and having respective radially outer ends in contact with a radially inner surface of the ring. The ring is made of a material having a friction coefficient lower than friction coefficient of metal materials.

The invention relates to a screw spindle pump, with a housing (2) which surrounds a delivery chamber (5), two spindles (7, 8), namely a drive spindle (7) and an opposed running spindle (8), a housing insert (6) which is arranged in the housing (2) and in which the spindles (7, 8) are accommodated, at least one bearing element (13, 13), which is connected to the housing insert (6) and on which bearings (12) of the spindles (7, 8) are arranged, and with at least one housing cover (14, 14), closing a housing opening. It is the object of the invention to provide a screw spindle pump at which maintenance and inspection work can be carried out more simply and cost-effectively. The invention achieves this object in that the bearing element (13, 13) together with the housing insert (6) and the spindles (7, 8) accommodated therein forms a unit (15) which, after the housing cover (14, 14) is taken off, is removable from the housing (2) through the housing opening.

A vane pump is configured to discharge a working fluid introduced into one side of a rotary chamber formed between an outer cam ring and a rotor to the other side of the rotary chamber, wherein a through slit extending in a circumferential direction of the outer cam ring is formed in a corresponding portion of the outer cam ring corresponding to the side to which the working fluid is introduced into the rotary chamber.

A conveyor device is disclosed for at least conveying a fluid with at least one conveyor chamber, with at least one dimensionally stable conveyor chamber element that at least partially delimits the conveyor chamber, with at least one elastically deformable and, in particular, annular conveyor element, particularly a conveyor membrane, that delimits the conveyor chamber together with the conveyor chamber element and is arranged on the conveyor chamber element, and with at least one pressing unit intended for generating an inhomogeneous pressing force, particularly at least in a non-conveying state of the conveyor element, at least in a sealing region between the conveyor element and the conveyor chamber element along a maximum overall extent of the sealing region, particularly along a maximum circumferential extent between the conveyor element and the conveyor chamber element.

A free-mold stator for a progressing cavity pump can comprise a housing include an inner housing surface defining an uninterrupted helical profile, and a liner including an inner liner surface and an outer liner surface. The inner liner surface and the outer liner surface can each define an uninterrupted helical profile, and the inner housing surface of the housing can be adapted to receive the outer liner surface to prevent lateral and rotational movement between the liner and the housing.
