A rubber compound for use in a stator in a positive displacement motor. The rubber compound includes a fiber reinforcement, wherein fibers in the fiber reinforcement create a grain direction in which “with the grain” is generally orthogonal to “across the grain”. In some embodiments, the rubber compound has a first value for 25% tensile Modulus across the grain and a second value for 25% tensile Modulus with the grain, wherein the first value is at least 10% lower than the second value. In such embodiments, the fiber reinforcement may further include a fiber loading of greater than 5.0 phr of fibers. In such embodiments, the rubber compound may further have a 25% tensile Modulus of greater than 400 psi across the grain and a 50% tensile Modulus of greater than 700 psi across the grain.

A full-metal anti-high temperature cycloid downhole motor comprises an outer tube, a stator, a rotor, a partition plate, a flow distribution disc, and a flow guide mechanism. The inside of the stator is provided with N grooves , the inner side walls of the N grooves form an annular inner contour surface; the rotor is formed with N−1 rotating heads provided along the axial direction of the outer tube, and each rotating head is provided with an embedding slot, one side of the embedding slot is provided with a notch, a rotor copper rod that can be in rolling engagement with the inner contour surface through the notch is provided in the embedding slot, and there is a changing gap between the outer wall of the rotor copper rod and the inner wall of the embedding slot.

A progressing cavity device operates as a motor to impart torque to a bit. A stator of the device defines an internal profile having uphole stages with a first dimension being less than a second dimension of downhole stage. A rotor has an external profile with a constant outer dimension along its length. Disposed in the stator, the rotor defines cavities with the stator and is rotatable with pumped fluid progressing in the cavities from the uphole to downhole to transfer torque to the drive toward the downhole end. Although the rotor is subjected at the downhole end to a reactive torque from the bit, the interference fit of the rotor's constant dimension with the stator's downhole stages is less than with the uphole stages, which can mitigate issues with heat buildup in the downhole stages. The device can also operates as a progressing cavity pump.
