Technologies are generally described for clearance adjustments in twin-screw pump assemblies. A twin-screw pump assembly may include a conically shaped portion of a drive shaft enveloped by a bushing. For clearance adjustment, both clamping nuts of the drive shaft, which provide pretention to the bushing and secure an axial position of a threaded screw to the drive shaft, may be removed on the flow side of the pump assembly and the bushing loosened to adjust the angularity between bushing and drive shaft. The bushing may then be pushed over the conically shaped portion and both clamping nuts re-assembled. In some examples, a clamping nut of the driven shaft may be designed and used as removal/loosening tool for the drive shaft bushing.

An automobile vacuum pump includes a pump chamber with a pump rotor, an outlet chamber, a partition wall separating the pump chamber from the outlet chamber, and an outlet valve in the partition wall. A compressed gas is discharged from the pump chamber into the outlet chamber via the outlet valve. The outlet valve is formed by a valve opening in the partition wall, a valve seat arranged around the valve opening, and a leaf spring provided as a valve body. The leaf spring includes a spring body which includes a fastening site where the spring body is fixed to the partition wall, and a spring-body-side stopper. The spring-body-side stopper is arranged so that a first distance between the spring-body-side stopper and the fastening site is larger than a second distance between the fastening site and an opening edge of the valve opening which is closest to the fastening site.

Lobe pumps have rings which can be located at least partially in at least one of cover plates and rotors, if not both to provide at least thrust bearings to space the rotors from the cover plates. Some rotors may have voids in ears to make the rotor lighter in weight with the voids potentially capped, symmetrically disposed, arcuately shaped and/or have other desirable features. Some rotors may have ears extending beyond cutouts which may extend beyond hubs, if not beyond hub extensions as well which may receive cover spigots thereabout. Some rings may act as radial bearings as well when located in the cover spigots.

A compressor includes a shell that defines an enclosed space inside the shell, an electric motor unit located in the enclosed space of the shell and configured to generate a driving force, and a compression unit located in the enclosed space of the shell and configured to compress refrigerant. The compression unit includes a cylinder and a piston that is configured to reciprocate in the cylinder based on the driving force transmitted from the electric motor unit. The shell includes a plurality of heat radiation fins that are located at an outer circumferential surface of the shell and that are configured to emit heat generated inside the shell to an outside of the shell.

A scroll compressor includes a drive bush disposed in one end portion in an axial direction of a main shaft, and configured to be eccentrically rotated in accordance with rotation of the main shaft, a pair of angular bearings arranged back-to-back, and respectively clearance-fitted to an outside of the drive bush, a compression unit that has a boss portion which protrudes from an end plate of a movable scroll and in which the angular bearings are interference-fitted to an inner peripheral surface of the boss portion, and a preload application unit configured to apply a preload to the angular bearings in a direction in which the angular bearings are configured to move toward each other.

Provided is a compressor apparatus comprising: a casing defining appearance of the apparatus; and a drive portion coupled to an inner circumferential surface of the casing and configured to rotate a rotatable shaft; a compression portion coupled to the rotatable shaft and configured to compress fluid, wherein the compression portion apparatus is characterized in that the drive portion and the compression portion are fixed to the fastening member which is detachably attached to at least one of the side face of the drive portion or the side face of the compression portion and thus, the combination of the drive portion and the compression portion is coupled to an inner circumferential surface of the casing. Further, provided is a manufacturing method of the compression portion apparatus.

A scroll compressor that includes a housing and scroll compressor bodies disposed in the housing. A motor is disposed within the housing and operably connected to a drive shaft for driving one of the scroll compressor bodies. The drive shaft is rotationally supported at one end by a crankcase which includes a bearing housing and a bearing. The crankcase includes a plurality of openings or gas passages passing through the crankcase, as well as a plurality of generally cylindrical sections positioned respectively between adjacent openings. The cylindrical sections define contact regions which can engage an inner periphery of the housing when the crankcase is mounted therein.

A flange is held by a peripheral wall of an intermediate housing member and a peripheral wall of a motor housing member. In this state, bolts are passed through the intermediate housing member and the flange and are threaded to a peripheral wall of the motor housing member, thereby integrally fixing a shaft support housing member to the intermediate housing member and the motor housing member. Thus, the shaft support housing member sufficiently receives the fastening force of the bolts. Vibration of the shaft support housing member is therefore easily suppressed. The intermediate housing member includes a peripheral wall. Thus, the intermediate housing member has a higher stiffness than in a case in which the intermediate housing member does not have the peripheral wall.

A gerotor pump includes a casing including a pumping chamber, a fixed gear being inserted into the casing and rotating at a fixed position, including a plurality of teeth formed inside a cylinder, and including at least one fluid hole at one end of the cylinder to allow a fluid to flow from the pumping chamber or into the pumping chamber, a moving gear provided inside the fixed gear and including one less number of teeth than a number of the plurality of teeth of the fixed gear and movable in an axial direction, a gear block arranged inside the fixed gear and movable in the axial direction, a gear ring arranged outside the moving gear and movable with respect to the moving gear in the axial direction, a gear ring cover provided at one end of the casing and including a hole in which the gear ring is rotated.

The present invention refers to a progressive cavity pump developed for tintometric dosing machines. The proposal set out in the present invention is to make precision dosages through pumping by just one stator and rotor stage. The PCP proposal enhances the traditional constructive arrangement for tintometric application. The object makes precision dosages through pumping by just one stator and rotor stage, reducing the length of the pump, facilitating the manufacture of its components and requiring less robustness of the transmission components and of the drive motor. Therefore, the present invention has a simplified transmission system, uses special geometry for fastening the stator, optimizes the bearing of the drive shaft and its sealing element, reduces the dimensions of the components and uses a low torque motor.
