A pump for conveying a fluid includes a casing with a casing inner wall, a pump interior, an inlet opening, an outlet opening, a displacement assembly, and a radial protective element arranged in the pump interior in order to line at least one radial section of the pump interior, the radial protective element bearing against a radial section of the casing inner wall. A fastening element is provided which can be arranged in a fastening position in which the fastening element bears against an edge of the radial protective element and in the process fastens the radial protective element in the pump interior, wherein the fastening element has a longitudinal extent which extends from a first axial end of the pump interior along a recess arranged in the casing inner wall.

A screw compressor (100), comprising a screw rotor (110) and a spool valve (120). The screw rotor (110) comprises a suction head end (111) and an exhaust tail end (112). Gas is sucked in from the suction head end (111) and compressed gas is discharged from the exhaust tail end (112). The spool valve (120) comprises a working side (125) for sealing a compression chamber of the screw rotor (110). The working side (125) comprises a spool valve head end (121) and a spool valve tail end (122) and can do a reciprocating motion along the axis direction of the screw rotor (110). When the spool valve (120) moves to a suction capacity adjusting position (240), the spool valve head end (121) is located at the inner side of the suction head end (111) of the screw rotor (110), and a suction capacity adjusting distance (D2) is formed between the spool valve head end (121) and the suction head end (111) so that the suction capacity of the screw compressor is adjusted. The suction capacity of the screw compressor (100) can be adjusted by means of the spool valve (120), so that the problem of motor temperature and exhaust gas temperature limits of conventional variable frequency screw sets is effectively solved and the operational range and the load regulation ability of the screw compressor are expanded.

A gerotor pump includes a rotor wherein only on the face wall of the rotor that lies adjacent to a pressure kidney and a suction kidney, a lubrication surface inclined in the direction of rotation of the rotor, relative to the surface plane of the face wall of the rotor, is disposed on each tooth, in each instance, over its tooth height, either starting directly in the center tooth plane or starting offset ahead of the center tooth plane in the direction of rotation of the rotor, which surface is formed from a level surface or multiple, always level partial surfaces that follow one another, which enclose an angle of inclination relative to the surface plane of the face wall of the rotor, in each instance, which angle lies in the range from 0.2 to 7, in each instance.

A mechanical lubricant pump includes a control ring which shifts between a maximum and a minimum eccentricity position, the control ring having a circumference with anti-spring and pro-spring hydraulic surfaces, a pump rotor having slidable vanes which rotate in the control ring, a preload spring which pushes the control ring into the maximum eccentricity position, a hydraulic pilot chamber which pushes the control ring into the minimum eccentricity position, a hydraulic pressure control circuit which controls a gallery pressure by regulating a pilot chamber pressure, and a hydraulic outlet chamber which surrounds a part of the circumference. The hydraulic pilot chamber is charged with a pump outlet pressure or with the gallery pressure of an engine. The hydraulic outlet chamber is charged with the pump outlet pressure and is connected to the pump outlet for a pressurized lubricant. The anti-spring hydraulic surface is larger than the counter-acting pro-spring hydraulic surface.

A method of lining an inner surface of a tubular with a polymer, includes positioning a polymer injecting head within the tubular, forming an annular space between the injecting head and an inner surface of the tubular, injecting polymer through the injecting head into the annular space, and moving the polymer injecting head longitudinally relative to the tubular while injecting polymer.

Sealing in rotary positive displacement machines based on trochoidal geometry that comprise a helical rotor that undergoes planetary motion within a helical stator is described. Seals can be mounted on the rotor, the stator, or both. The rotor can have a hypotrochoidal cross-section, with the corresponding stator cavity profile being the outer envelope of the rotor as it undergoes planetary motion, or the stator cavity can have an epitrochoidal cross-section with the corresponding rotor profile being the inner envelope of the trochoid as it undergoes planetary motion. In some embodiments, the geometry is offset in a manner that provides advantages with respect to sealing in the rotary machine. In multi-stage embodiments, the rotor-stator geometry remains substantially constant or varies along the axis of the rotary machine.

A cam liner for use in an integrated drive generator has a cam liner body extending between a first end spaced from the second end by a first distance. The body is generally cylindrical. An outer diameter of the cam liner defines a second distance. A ratio of the first distance to the second distance is between 0.90 and 1.00. An integrated drive generator and a method are also disclosed.

Disclosed is a vane pump comprising a cam ring accommodated in a pump housing, a rotor accommodated rotatably with respect to a rotational shaft in the cam ring, and a plurality of vanes coupled to the rotor to discharge fluid, wherein the cam ring has a ring shaped inner profile varied between a maximum radius (Rmax) and a minimum radius (Rmin) in a circumferential direction with respect to the rotational shaft, and the ring shaped inner profile comprises: a cycloid curve passing through a maximum radius point; a circular arc passing through a minimum radius point; and a tangent line connecting the cycloid curve to the circular arc with a tangential curvature.

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.

A pump sleeve for an inversion pump in an integrated drive generator has a pump sleeve body extending between a first end and a second end, the first end being at a location adjacent an enlarged endplate. The body extends to the second end with a generally cylindrical body portion having a bore of an inner diameter from the first end to the second end, and between the first and second ends for a distance. A ratio of the first distance to the inner diameter being is 1.8 and 2.0. In addition, an integrated drive generator is disclosed as is a method of replacing an accessory drive gear in an integrated drive generator.
