The present invention is an apparatus, system and method for use of a mud motor having a bearing assembly, a transmission having torque and thrust transfer couplings with a catch pin interface, a power section, a rotor catch assembly, and a cross over sub-valve.

The objective of the present invention is to provide a scroll-type fluid machine, and a method for assembling this scroll-type fluid machine, with which an eccentric shaft and a non-eccentric part can be positioned easily in the same step, while allowing a main body unit and a motor unit to be separated and connected without being disassembled. To achieve this objective, this scroll-type fluid machine is equipped with a main body unit having a main body casing, a fixed scroll, and an orbiting scroll, and a motor unit having a drive shaft for driving the main body unit, and a motor casing, wherein the drive shaft protrudes from the motor casing and is attached to a slewing bearing of the main body unit, positioning holes into which a positioning member is inserted are formed on their respective opposing mating surfaces of the motor casing and the main body casing, and the dimensional difference between main-body-casing-side insertion opening of the positioning hole and the motor-casing-side end surface of the slewing bearing in the axial direction is less than the dimensional difference between the main-body-unit-side tip ends of the drive shaft and the positioning member in the axial direction.

A vacuum pump for pumping a gas includes a pump housing which defines a pump cavity, a shiftable vane, a pump rotor body, a separate axial rotor retaining arrangement, and a radial friction bearing. The pump housing includes a closed housing wall. The pump rotor body includes a vane slit which supports the shiftable vane to define rotating pumping chambers, an axial low-pressure end which is axially supported by the closed housing wall so that a gas pressure inside the pumping chambers is present at the low-pressure end, and an axial high-pressure end. The pump housing is fluidically open at the axial high-pressure end so that atmospheric pressure is present. The axial rotor retaining arrangement includes a retaining sheet body arranged in a transversal plane which axially in part blocks the axial high-pressure end. The radial friction bearing is arranged axially between the vane slit and the axial high-pressure end.

An eccentric screw pump, comprising a rotor that extends along a longitudinal axis of the rotor from a drive end to a free end, a stator housing with an internal cavity that extends along the longitudinal axis from a stator inlet opening to a stator outlet opening and that is designed to accommodate the rotor, a drive motor with a drive shaft that is coupled with the rotor to transmit a torque, a first cardan joint which is placed within the transmission of the torque between the drive shaft and the rotor, and a stator outlet flange that is arranged in flow direction behind the rotor. The stator outlet flange comprises a flange connection plane that is oriented non-vertically to the longitudinal axis.

A screw compressor is provided with: a compressor body in which a screw rotor is accommodated in a rotor casing; a motor in which a rotator and a stator are accommodated in a motor chamber, the motor for rotationally driving a rotor shaft through use of a motor shaft; axial liquid supplying parts, provided on an anti-rotor side of the motor shaft; a motor shaft cooling part which is a cavity extending in the axial direction inside the motor shaft, the motor shaft cooling part for cooling the motor shaft by circulating a cooling liquid through the inside of the cavity thereof; and a liquid outlet part positioned on a rotor side of the motor shaft or a motor side of the rotor shaft and fluidically connected to the motor shaft cooling part so as to extend radially inward from an outlet opening formed in an outer surface of the motor shaft or the rotor shaft.

A screw compressor includes compressor bodies, a motor disposed in a side of the compressor bodies, a gear box coupled to the compressor bodies and transmitting the drive force of the motor to a screw rotor, and a tubular coupling casing coupling the gear box and the motor and having horizontal axis. The coupling casing has a work hole in the horizontal direction. The work hole is used for maintaining a coupling accommodated in the coupling casing. The coupling casing has a rib extending in the up-down direction. It is thus possible to avoid reduction in the rigidity of the coupling casing with no cost increase, and to improve maintainability.

A motor vehicle vacuum pump includes a pump rotor, a coupling element, and a clutch arrangement. The clutch arrangement locks or releases the coupling element to/from the pump rotor so that the coupling element rotates together with or is released from the pump rotor. The clutch arrangement comprises a bolt holder connected to the pump rotor or to the coupling element to rotate therewith, an axially displaceable guide body, and a catch body connected to the coupling element or to the pump rotor to rotate therewith. The bolt holder comprises a bolt guide and a bolt body displaceable therein. The guide body is assigned to the bolt holder and comprises a guiding surface inclined with respect to an axial plane. The bolt body is forced radially into a locking position via the guiding surface. The catch body has a catch depression wherewith the bolt body engages in the locking position.

A driveshaft assembly for a compressor includes an unloader assembly and a driveshaft. The unloader assembly includes an unloader and a counterweight. The unloader assembly is rotationally supported by a bearing. The unloader includes a flank surface that is slidably engaged with a flank surface on the driveshaft.

A compressor may include a shell, orbiting and non-orbiting scrolls, an unloader bushing assembly and a drive shaft. The unloader bushing assembly may include a drive bushing and a spring. The drive bushing includes an outer surface engaged with the orbiting scroll and may define an opening extending from a first bushing end to a second bushing end. The spring may include a body disposed within the opening of the drive bushing and may include first and second spring ends with at least a portion of the first spring end extending laterally from the body and overlapping the first bushing end. At least a portion of the second spring end may extend laterally from a body and overlap the second bushing end to secure the spring within the drive bushing. The drive shaft may include a crank pin disposed within the opening of the drive bushing and engaging the spring.

A coupling assembly arranged between an input shaft and a rotor shaft of a supercharger includes a first hub, a second hub, a first side coupling assembly, a second side coupling assembly, a central hub and a plurality of coupler pins. The first hub is mounted for concurrent rotation with the input shaft. The second hub is mounted for concurrent rotation with the rotor shaft. The first side coupling assembly has a first side coupling body and a first side elastomeric insert. The first side coupling body includes an inboard body portion having a first series of pockets and an outboard body portion having a second series of pockets. The first side elastomeric insert has a first and second plurality of lobes. The pockets of the first and second series of pockets are tangentially offset relative to each other and each receive respective first and second plurality of lobes therein.
