An outer gear and an inner gear expand and contract volume of pump chambers formed between both the gears, and rotate to suction fuel into the pump chambers and then discharge fuel from the pump chambers sequentially. The inner gear includes an insertion hole that is depressed along its axial direction. A joint member includes a main body portion that is fitted to a rotary shaft, a foot portion that extends from the main body portion along the axial direction and is inserted in the insertion hole with a clearance therebetween, and a protruding portion that protrudes from the foot portion toward a rotation progress side of the inner gear and has its width in the axial direction further narrowed toward a top portion of the protruding portion.

A disposable fluid pump is provided with a housing including first and second faces, with a sidewall extending between the first and second faces. The housing defines a chamber, with an inlet and an outlet in fluid communication with the chamber. An impeller is rotatably mounted within the chamber and includes a plurality of flexible vanes. Such a pump may be incorporated into a disposable fluid flow circuit that is adapted to be mounted on a durable hardware for processing a fluid. In such a fluid flow circuit, the fluid pump may be integrated into a cassette of the circuit or, alternatively, the inlet and outlet of the fluid pump may be directly connected to fluid flow conduits of the circuit.

The present invention relates to a Moineau pump-type quantitative liquid-discharging apparatus including a stator in which a slot hole is formed, a main shaft including a first shaft part and a second shaft part, which are eccentric with respect to each other, and a rotor which extends from the first shaft part and is inserted into the slot hole, first and second slide bearings to which the first shaft part and the second shaft part are rotatably coupled, respectively, and first and second sliders which guide the first and second slide bearings to move in directions to cross each other, wherein the movement directions of the first and second slide bearings are perpendicular to an extension direction of the rotor.

An electric hydraulic actuator is provided with an electric motor and a gear pump driven in rotation by the electric motor. The electric motor includes a motor housing and a rotating shaft supported by the motor housing so as to be freely rotatable. The gear pump has a drive gear into which the rotating shaft of the electric motor is inserted and a driven gear meshed with the drive gear. A pump housing is configured to accommodate the drive gear and the driven gear on one end and has an installation concave portion open at the other end for accommodating part of the motor housing. The motor housing is attached to the pump housing with a gap formed between the motor housing and the pump housing in a radial direction of the rotating shaft. The gap includes an O-ring to elastically support the motor housing in the radial direction.

A gerotor pump includes an inner gerotor, a wobble cancellation element, and an outer gerotor disposed radially between the inner gerotor and the wobble cancellation element. The inner gerotor includes a first outer peripheral surface with n first lobes equally spaced from one another in a circumferential direction, and n first depressions, each disposed between an adjacent pair of first lobes. The inner gerotor and the wobble cancellation element are coaxial. The wobble cancellation element includes a first inner peripheral surface with n+1 second lobes equally spaced from one another in the circumferential direction, and n+1 arcuate surfaces, each arranged between an adjacent pair of second lobes. The outer gerotor includes a second outer peripheral surface including n+1 outer depressions complementary to and arranged to engage the second lobes, and a second inner peripheral surface comprising n+1 inner depressions complementary to and arranged to engage the first lobes.

A pump comprises: a housing: a stator disposed inside the housing; a pump gear which is disposed to correspond to the stator and which includes an external gear and an internal gear; and a magnet disposed on the external gear, wherein the magnet includes a first outer circumferential surface, the external gear includes a second outer circumferential surface, and the curvature of the first outer circumferential surface can be smaller than the curvature of the second outer circumferential surface.

Lubricant pump systems and associated methods for aircraft engines are provided. The method includes receiving an input torque, dividing the input torque between a first load path receiving a first portion of the input torque, and a second load path receiving a second portion of the input torque. A first lubricant pump of the aircraft engine is driven via the first load path using the first portion of the input torque. A second lubricant pump of the aircraft engine is driven via the second load path using the second portion of the input torque. When a malfunction of the second lubricant pump occurs, the method includes ceasing to drive the first lubricant pump and the second lubricant pump using the input torque.

A pump includes a stator and a rotor axially between a fluid inlet section and a fluid outlet section. The stator includes a plurality of radially inwardly extending legs; and a plurality of electrical windings disposed about the radially inwardly extending legs. The attenuating circuit includes a capacitor electrically wired in parallel with each winding and at least one switch electrically connected to the capacitor. During energization of the electrical winding, the switch electrically connects the capacitor to an electrical ground and the electrical power source creates a voltage in the capacitor. Following a de-energization of the plurality of electrical windings, the switch isolates the capacitor from the electrical ground and the capacitor discharges the voltage through the electrical winding, creating a decaying oscillating current that attenuates residual magnetization in the winding.

A pump assembly comprising a casing having a first pump chamber defining a first flow path and a second pump chamber or more defining a second flow path. A first pump stage includes a first shaft mounted to the casing for rotation about a rotation axis, a first pair of intermeshing gears disposed in the first flow path of the first pump chamber, the first pair of intermeshing gears interfacing each other in operative engagement, one intermeshing gear of the first pump stage mounted on the first shaft. A second pump stage includes a second shaft mounted to the casing for rotation about a rotation axis different than the rotation axis of the first shaft, a second pair of intermeshing gears disposed in the second flow path of the at least second pump chamber, the second pair of intermeshing gears interfacing each other in operative engagement, one intermeshing gear of the second pump stage mounted on the second shaft. A transmission drivingly engages the first shaft to the second shaft.

Aspects described herein relate generally to rotary compressors that incorporate a flywheel within to significantly reduce the compressor vibration and drive torque ripples as well as to achieve a higher overall electro-mechanical efficiency and potentially lower combined costs of BLDC rotary compressors and their drive electronics.
