A submersible well pump assembly has upper and lower seal sections connected between the pump and a motor. The seal sections have drive shafts with thrust runners that engage thrust bearing bases. The upper drive shaft will undergo a limited amount of downward movement toward the lower drive shaft in response to wear of the upper thrust bearing base. A spring between ends of the drive shafts transfers a portion of the down thrust on the upper drive shaft to the lower drive shaft prior to the limited amount of downward movement of the upper drive shaft toward the lower drive shaft being reached. A rigid stop member in the coupling transfers down thrust directly from the upper drive shaft to the lower drive shaft, bypassing the spring, only after the limited amount of downward movement of the upper drive shaft toward the lower drive shaft has been reached.

An electric pump includes: a motor housing; a pump housing adjacent to the motor housing; a rotor accommodated in the motor housing and axially supported by a rotating shaft; a stator disposed radially outward of the rotor and fixed to the motor housing; a pump unit accommodated in the pump housing and configured to suck and discharge a fluid by rotation of the rotor; and a cup-shaped can provided between the rotor and the stator to prevent the fluid in the pump unit from being introduced into the stator. A seal member is disposed between the can and the motor housing, and a communication path communicating inner and outer sides of the can is formed between the motor and pump housings at a position closer to an opening side of the can than the seal member.

A water pump includes: an upper housing formed with an inlet and an outlet of fluid; a lower housing installed to fit in a lower side of the upper housing, having a receiving space formed therein; a shaft fixing support having a lower part of a protrudedly formed shaft inserted in the center of a bottom part of the lower housing; an impeller installed around the shaft; a rotor configured by having a magnet installed around a rotor core; a stator installed inside the lower housing; a lower cover; a shaft upper part fixing support member installed in an upper side of the shaft erectedly inserted in the shaft fixing support; and a synthetic resin mold member formed with a first synthetic resin mold around an outer side of the shaft fixing support and around the shaft, and a second synthetic resin mold around an outer side of the rotor.

An aircraft cabin blower system includes: a transmission configured to receive mechanical power from a first part of a gas turbine engine in the form of a first transmission input; and an electrical circuit including a first electrical machine, a second electrical machine, and a power management system, wherein an output of the transmission is configured to drive a cabin blower compressor when operating in a blower mode, the first electrical machine being configured to receive mechanical power from a second part of the gas turbine engine and act as a generator to provide electrical power to the power management system, and the second electrical machine being configured to act as a motor providing mechanical power to the transmission in the form of a second transmission input, the second electrical machine being driven by electrical power from the power management system.

A method for providing artificial lift with an electric submersible pump system includes providing an electric submersible pump system having a motor, a pump assembly, a seal assembly, and a shaft assembly extending along a central axis from the motor to the pump assembly. The pump assembly includes two or more pump sections and a coupling with a transmission mechanism is located between the two or more pump sections. The motor rotates a motor shaft segment of the shaft assembly that is in engagement with a first pump section and starts the first pump section. One of the transmission mechanisms is moved from a disengaged position to an engaged position where the coupling conveys the rotation of the motor shaft segment to the adjacent shaft segment and starts another of the two or more pump sections.

The invention relates to a roof box for transporting luggage on a vehicle roof, comprising:a hollow body (1), which can be mounted on the roof rails (10) of a vehicle and which is provided with an opening (2a), through which it is possible to access the interior which is intended for luggage;a flap (3a), which is pivotally connected to the hollow body (1) and which can be pivoted from a closed position, in which it (3a) closes the opening (2a), to an open position, in which it (3a) does not obstruct the opening (2a), and vice versa;fastening means for fastening the hollow body (1), detachably if required, to the roof rails (10) of a vehicle. According to the invention, the opening (2a) is located in a side face of the hollow body (1).

A fan includes an impeller including an impeller plate and a motor including a rotor with a rotor plate. A protrusion of the impeller plate protrudes downward in an axial direction from a lower surface on a lower side in the axial direction toward the rotor plate. A plate spring of the rotor plate extends in a direction intersecting the axial direction and is bendable in the axial direction. At least a portion of the protrusion is accommodated in a hole of the rotor plate. The protrusion contacts a leading end of the plate spring while being accommodated in the hole. The plate spring is bent in the axial direction while the protrusion is in contact with the leading end of the plate spring.

Technologies are described for devices to couple a drive hub to a driven hub. The devices may comprise a drive hub contoured end connected to a first end of a spacer column and to a spacer drive hub flange. A portion of the drive hub contoured end may project radially out from the spacer column with a first contoured side and a first flat side and may allow movement in an axial direction and transmit torque and an axial load. The devices may comprise a driven hub contoured end connected to a second end of the spacer column and to a spacer driven hub flange. A portion of the driven hub contoured end may project radially out from the spacer column with a second contoured side and a second flat side and may allow movement in an axial direction and transmit torque and an axial load.

A coolant pump for a vehicle may include an impeller mounted at one side of a shaft and pumping a coolant; a pulley mounted at the other side of the shaft and receiving a torque; a coolant pump housing including an inlet to which the coolant inflows and a discharge port formed in a vertical to the shaft; a slider disposed to be movable in a longitudinal direction of the shaft to selectively block or open the discharge port; and a driver moving the slider, wherein a fine passage that the coolant is expelled to the discharge port is formed at the slider.
