A rotary piston pump with at least two double- or multi-lobe rotary pistons rotating in opposite directions, the drive shafts whereof include seals, wherein the seals are constituted as slip ring seals or lip seals or stuffing-box seals, which in each case are disposed on the shaft shoulder belonging to the respective rotary piston, and one slip ring per seal is provided with a locking device, which includes a large number of fixing positions. The seals are pushed onto a tubular shoulder of the rotary piston, the rotary piston is introduced into the pump housing, the securing element is connected to the slip ring seal in a form-fit manner by rotation of the rotary piston and the shaft shoulder is then rigidly connected to the drive shaft.

The purpose of the present invention is to suppress the occurrence of unevenness in a rotor of an internal gear pump, suppress the formation of gaps between the end surfaces (side surfaces) of an inner rotor and an outer rotor, and to prevent a decline in volume efficiency. Thus, the pump device of the present invention includes an internal gear pump (10), in which an inner rotor (13) is inscribed to an outer rotor (12), and includes a plate member (7) which is provided to an end surface of the rotors. The plate member (7) is formed of a material having high hardness, has a shape that does not block a suction port (150), has a through-hole (73) formed therein, and has O-ring grooves (71,72), which each have a continuous shape and house an O-ring formed therein.

A gas processing system includes a vessel defining a cavity for processing a gas. The vessel includes a process gas inlet for accepting process gas at an input pressure, and a process gas outlet for discharging process gas at an output pressure. The gas processing system further includes a shaft coupled to the vessel and a multistage sealing system comprising multiple seals spaced along the shaft. The shaft is configured to transfer mechanical energy to or from gas in the vessel. Each adjacent pair of seals defines a corresponding pressure space therebetween. One of the pressure spaces is an equalizing pressure space in hydraulic communication with the process gas inlet via a flow line, such that in operation, pressure in the equalizing pressure space is maintained at an equalized pressure with respect to a pressure in the process gas inlet.

Disclosed is a hub and a bearing which cooperate to hold a shaft in steady axial alignment with a rotor. In a preferred embodiment, the shaft is coupled to the rotor of a fluid gear pump. The gear pump is located in a pump assembly between a front cover and a rear casing. A hub receiving pocket is formed in the front cover, and the hub is connected to the front cover for receipt within the hub receiving pocket. The bearing is surrounded by the hub such that the shaft runs through the bearing to be coupled to the rotor of the gear pump. A pair of high pressure seals are located within the hub at which to surround the shaft and prevent leakage. The bearing being surrounded by the hub stabilizes the shaft to minimize wobbling in response to axial and radial loads to which the shaft is subjected while rotating.

A screw compressor for compressing a working medium is designed to be provided with: first and second screw rotors that suck, compress, and deliver the working medium; a first bearing that freely rotatably supports one end side of the first screw motor whose one end side is coupled to a rotating shaft of a power source; a casing that houses the first screw rotor and the first bearing; a shaft sealing member that is located on an opposite side of a tooth profile unit for the first screw rotor relative to the first bearing inside the casing and seals a through hole in the casing, through which a shaft of the first screw rotor coupled to the output shaft of the power source is inserted; a partition wall that isolates the first bearing from the shaft sealing member inside the casing; and a liquid supply route that is provided in the casing and has a first liquid supply opening for supplying a lubricating liquid to the first bearing and a second liquid supply opening for supplying the lubricating liquid to the shaft sealing member.

A geared fuel pump (4) operates to supply a determined flow but at low or zero pressure rise. It is planned to add gland packing (46) between support bearings (19) of the pinions (11), or between some of them, to provide hydrodynamic lift for these bearings, by delimiting a closed cavity (47) to provide lift by a fluid with better viscosity properties instead of using the fluid itself that is pumped. Possible application to fuel pumps for aircraft engines, in which the pump (4) is a high pressure pump associated with a low pressure pump.

A sliding vane pump is provided including a pump assembly having a housing with a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet formed therein, a lining member received in the housing defining a substantially cylindrical inner surface and a rotor arranged inside the lining member, defining a substantially cylindrical outer surface. The inner surface of the lining member and outer surface of the rotor define a working space therebetween. The pump assembly also comprises a plurality of vanes received in slots formed about the rotor outer surface. Each vane is arranged to slide in the radical direction with respect to the rotor such that an outer edge of the vane contacts the lining member inner surface, thereby dividing the working space into working chambers. Rotation of the rotor draws fluid from the fluid inlet working into the working chambers, which is ejected into the fluid outlet.

A rotary seal (10) for a fluid handling machine comprising first circular body (12) with circumferential surface (28) and second circular body (16) with similar surface (27), such that the bodies when coaxially assembled, the circumferential surface (28) and similar surface (27) mate with each other forming a sealing surface contact. An internal end face (33) of rotary seal (10) is exposed to fluids with an inclination, such that the fluid pressure on internal end face (33) adds to contact force at sealing contact surface. The first circular body (12) is continuous and second circular body (16) with a split (17) has a spring characteristic such that two ends formed by the split (17), force away from each other, hence exerting a radial force on circumferential surface when assembled with first circular body (12) and compensating for circumferential wear during operation. The second circular body (16) exerts combination of axial, radial and tangential forces on circumferential surface (28) which results in force closure at sealing surface contact.

A screw compressor has first and second screw rotors that suck, compress, and deliver a working medium; a first bearing supporting one end of the first screw rotor coupled to a rotating shaft of a power source; a casing housing the first screw rotor and first bearing; a shaft-sealing member located on an opposite side of a tooth profiler for the first screw rotor relative to the first bearing and seals a through hole in the casing, through which a shaft of the first screw rotor coupled to the output shaft of the power source is inserted; a partition wall isolating the first bearing from the shaft-sealing member; and a liquid-supply route that is provided in the casing and has a first liquid supply opening for supplying a lubricating liquid to the shaft-sealing member and a second liquid supply opening for supplying the lubricating liquid to the first bearing.

A rotary compressor of an embodiment has a rotating shaft, an electric motor, a compression mechanism, a balancer, and a balancer cover. The compression mechanism has a cylinder, a main bearing, and a sub-bearing. The balancer is provided on the rotating shaft on a second side of the sub-bearing in an axial direction thereof. The balancer cover covers the balancer. A lubricating oil supply path that opens on a second side end face in the axial direction is provided in the rotating shaft. A supply hole that allows the supply path to communicate with the outside of the balancer cover is formed in the balancer cover at a position facing the supply path in the axial direction. A seal mechanism that seals between the balancer cover and the rotating shaft is provided between the balancer cover and the rotating shaft while allowing relative movement between the balancer cover and the rotating shaft in the axial direction.
