A sliding-vane pump includes a housing in which a cylindrical fluid chamber is formed, and a conveyor rotor which is rotatable in the fluid chamber and is guided on a circumferential wall of the fluid chamber. In the fluid chamber, the conveyor rotor delimits at least one conveyor chamber having a volume which is variable by rotation of the conveyor rotor, and a drive motor having a rotor which is attached rotationally fixedly on a drive shaft. The conveyor rotor is arranged positionally fixedly on the drive shaft and the drive shaft is radially mounted in the housing by means of the conveyor rotor.

Electricity generators are provided that can include: members having opposing bases that include chambers to facilitate the conversion of source energy to mechanical energy with one of the members rotating in relation to another of the members and a housing about the rotating member. Generator components can be operably engaged to the housing and rotating member to generate electricity. Methods for generating electricity are also provided. The methods can include: rotating a first cylindrical member in relation to a fixed second member about a center rod along a shared axis within a housing; and generating electricity between conductive components along both the sidewalls of the first cylindrical member and the housing.

A pump for fluid material includes a housing and a rotor member within the housing mounted to rotate between a passageway end plate and a drive end plate each having inward facing cam surfaces. The housing, plates, and rotor member in assembly form a passageway between a passageway cam surface and a first side of the rotor member. This places the passageway's intake opening and discharge opening in communication with each other along the passageway. The rotor member's vane elements are configured to slide laterally and move reciprocally as the rotor member rotates, moving the fluid material being fed into the intake opening, through the passageway, and finally out the discharge opening.

Provided is a variable displacement vane pump with a control slide and a first and second control chambers. Also, the pump has a control system for controlling delivery of pressurized lubricant to the chambers. The control system includes a control device configured for movement between at least a first control position and a second control position. The control device may include its own housing and/or include discs configured for relative movement. The pivot pin may include grooves for delivering a flow from the outlet to the control system. In the first control position, pressurized lubricant is delivered to the first control chamber and the second control chamber is vented, which increases the output flow of the pump. In the second control position, pressurized lubricant is delivered to the second control chamber and the first control chamber is vented, which decreases the output flow of the pump.

The present disclosure is applicable to all gear trains using a journal bearing as a means of supporting gear shaft rotation. It is related in some embodiments to a system and method for supplying lubricant to the journal bearings of a gear-turbofan engine gear train when the fan rotor is subjected to a wind-milling condition in both directions, either clockwise or counter-clockwise.

An embodiment provides a vane pump device includes a pump unit that includes a high pressure side discharge through-hole which discharges oil at a first discharge pressure, and a low pressure side discharge through-hole which discharges oil at a second discharge pressure lower than the first discharge pressure; and a housing which accommodates the pump unit, and includes a high pressure side discharge outlet through which oil discharged from the high pressure side discharge through-hole of the pump unit is discharged to the outside, and a low pressure side discharge outlet through which oil discharged from the low pressure side discharge through-hole is discharged to the outside, and in which the high pressure side discharge outlet and the low pressure side discharge outlet are formed to face the same direction.

A pump, comprising:

an accommodating housing which forms a cup-shaped accommodating space comprising an end-facing wall and a circumferential wall; and

a pump insert which is arranged in the accommodating space, wherein the pump insert comprises:

a rotor;

a first housing part and a second housing part, between which the rotor is arranged such that it can be rotated about a rotational axis and relative to the first and second housing part; and

a stroke ring which surrounds the rotor,

wherein an annular sealing element which is arranged between the end-facing wall and the second housing part encloses a pressure space which is formed between the end-facing wall and the second housing part, wherein the pressure space is connected via an outlet channel to a delivery chamber which is formed between the rotor and the stroke ring, and

wherein the spring comprises a spring structure which is made of metal and which imbues the spring with its essential spring characteristics, wherein the sealing element is fastened to the spring structure.

The present disclosure relates to a variable displacement vane pump, in particular for oil, comprising a body having a cavity wherein a movable ring slides in the longitudinal direction over the rotor which rotates around an axis and which is provided with vanes which are radially supported on the inner surface of the fixed ring of fixed eccentricity relative to the rotation axis of the rotor, and with movement means in the longitudinal direction of the movable ring according to a pilot pressure between a position corresponding to the maximum volume of the plurality of chambers, the return elastic spring being in this position at its maximum length, and a predetermined end position corresponding to the minimum volume of the plurality of chambers, the return elastic spring being in this position at its minimum length by action of the displacement in the longitudinal direction of the movable wall which occurs simultaneously to the longitudinal displacement of the plurality of vanes and of the movable ring.

A vane cell machine includes a housing, rotor, curved ring, spring, and pressure piece. The rotor is configured to rotate about a rotation axis and includes a plurality of plate-like wings that are radially displaceable. The curved ring surrounds the rotor and delimits a movement path of the wings. Each pair of adjacent plate-like wings delimits a corresponding operating chamber. The housing surrounds and enables displacement of the curved ring. The spring is positioned between the curved ring and the housing, is pretensioned, and is configured to load the curved ring. The pressure piece is positioned between the spring and the curved ring, and sealingly abuts the housing and the curved ring so as to delimit a first and second pressure chamber from each other. The housing and the curved ring further delimit the first and second pressure chambers.

A pump including a rotor; a first housing part and a second housing part, between which the rotor is arranged such that it can be rotated about a rotational axis relative to the first and second housing part; at least one positioning element which positions the second housing part with respect to its angular position about the rotational axis relative to the first housing part; and a spring, wherein the second housing part is arranged between the spring and the rotor, wherein the spring is fastened to the at least one positioning element or the second housing part.
