A compressor crankcase assembly is provided for an air compressor. In one example, a compressor crankcase assembly includes a crankcase made of a material comprising at least 50% by weight aluminum and a crankcase liner disposed within the crankcase. The crankcase has a protrusion that is at least partially disposed within the groove of the crankcase liner.

A high hardness sleeve or surface treatment to a predetermined hardness is used in a packing bore for a fluid end of a pump assembly. The bore is either treated to provide the hardness or a sleeve is used which is fitted in an oversized bore for preventing washout failure. The sleeve is welded into the pump block and machined to the proper size bore. Thereafter the bore is protected from washout failure at this location. Alternatively, a surface of the sleeve is polished which further reduces the wear on the part. The sleeve can be a stainless steel material hardened by heat treating process or otherwise treated or carbon steel sleeves with the predetermined bore hardness which could be welded into a suitable bore in the pump. However, other processes for hardening the stainless steel can be used as long as desired predetermined surface hardness is maintainable.

An axial piston machine may include a a housing having vapor, cylinder chamber and wobble-plate chambers. The machine may have cylinders arranged annularly around a shaft in the cylinder chamber and having pistons arranged therein in a translationally movable manner, a valve disk connected to the shaft in a rotationally fixed manner and arranged in the vapor chamber, and a wobble plate connected to one of the pistons via a cup and ball bearing and to the shaft in a rotationally fixed manner, the wobble plate being arranged in the wobble-plate chamber. The housing may have steam-chamber, cylinder, and wobble-plate housing parts connected to one another. A cylinder sleeve having a radially protruding collar may be provided in at least one cylinder, wherein the cylinder sleeve may be retained via the collar in a cut-out in the cylinder housing part, which may adjoin a parting plane between the vapor-chamber and cylinder housing parts. The vapor chamber may be closed off by a first cover, which may be connected to the vapor-chamber housing part and which may be designed as a shaped sheet-metal part.

A hydraulic piston pump includes a piston disposed in a blind housing bore of a piston housing and that reciprocates to generate a pumping action. To accommodate the piston, a piston cartridge is installed in each of the housing bores. The piston cartridge includes a piston sleeve having an inner sleeve periphery, a first outer sleeve periphery, and a second outer sleeve periphery. The inner sleeve periphery is configured to establish sliding contact with the piston. The first outer sleeve periphery has a first outer sleeve diameter that is larger than a second outer sleeve diameter associated with the second outer sleeve periphery. To seal against the blind housing bore, a liner cap having a cylindrical liner wall and an axial liner cover is disposed over the first outer sleeve periphery. The axial liner cover abuts a housing bore ceiling of the blind housing bore and can receive hydraulic fluid there through.

A fluid end includes a housing having a bore extending toward a cavity and a wear sleeve positioned within the bore. The fluid end also includes a plunger positioned within a plunger bore extending through the wear sleeve, the plunger reciprocating within the plunger bore. The fluid end further includes a wear sleeve retainer coupled to the housing and positioned to block axial movement of the wear sleeve, the wear sleeve retainer having external threads along a body that engage internal threads formed in the housing. The fluid end also includes an anti-rotation system, coupled to the housing, the anti-rotation system engaging the wear sleeve retainer to block rotation of the wear sleeve retainer in at least one direction. The fluid end further includes a packing nut coupled to the wear sleeve retainer.

A valve cover assembly and a liner retainer assembly configured to retain a plug, a liner, and/or a liner seal within or against a module or retention body of a fluid end of a pump. The valve cover assembly and the liner retainer assembly include pistons coupled to a retaining flange or a threaded gland. A bias applied to the pistons biases the retaining flange and a threaded gland that is coupled to the retaining flange, or the piston alone, into engagement with the module or retention body to retain the plug, the liner, and/or the liner seal on the module.

A pumping assembly is provided which is suitable for use in a variety of dosing pumps. The pumping assembly comprises a pump body with a pump bore, and a sleeve fixed within the pump bore. The sleeve has a first end, a second end and a sleeve bore. A plunger is adapted to enter the first end of the sleeve and to reciprocate within the sleeve bore. The sleeve has at least one port to allow fluid flow through a wall of the sleeve. The, or each, port is elongated in a direction substantially orthogonal to a direction of reciprocation.

A hydraulic rotating machine adapted to be actuated and rotated by supply and discharge of a working fluid includes a cylinder block to which a shaft is coupled, the cylinder block being configured to be rotate together with the shaft; a cylinder formed to have an opening portion on one end side of the cylinder block, a recessed portion being formed on an inner circumference of the cylinder; and a bush inserted from the opening portion of the cylinder and provided on the inside of the cylinder, the bush having a projection portion filled into the recessed portion by plastic deformation. The recessed portion is formed in such a manner that width along an axial direction of the cylinder becomes smaller toward the depth direction.

A compressor crankcase assembly is provided for an air compressor. In one example, a compressor crankcase assembly includes a crankcase made of a material comprising at least 50% by weight aluminum and a crankcase liner disposed within the crankcase. The crankcase has a protrusion that is at least partially disposed within the groove of the crankcase liner.

A fluid end includes a housing having a bore extending toward a cavity and a wear sleeve positioned within the bore. The fluid end also includes a plunger positioned within a plunger bore extending through the wear sleeve, the plunger reciprocating within the plunger bore. The fluid end further includes a wear sleeve retainer coupled to the housing and positioned to block axial movement of the wear sleeve, the wear sleeve retainer having external threads along a body that engage internal threads formed in the housing. The fluid end also includes an anti-rotation system, coupled to the housing, the anti-rotation system engaging the wear sleeve retainer to block rotation of the wear sleeve retainer in at least one direction.
