The present invention relates to a dry-running, oil-free orbiter vacuum pump with an improved bearing arrangement consisting of a material pairing capable of dry-running A pivot bearing with a bearing cavity open towards the pump chamber for receiving a pivot head of a blocking slide is arranged inside the pump housing. The orbiter vacuum pump capable of dry-running is characterized in particular in that at least one sliding surface of the pivot bearing allocated to the bearing cavity or to the pivot head is made of a composite material including a solid lubricant.

The present invention relates to a dry-running, oil-free orbiter vacuum pump, on which a friction-optimized surface is provided on components. The dry-running orbiter vacuum pump comprises inter alia a pump housing with a cylindrical pump chamber and an orbiter eccentric piston with a guide slot and a cylindrical exterior surface, a cylindrical cross-section of the orbiter eccentric piston being smaller than a cylindrical cross-section of the pump chamber. At at least one of a radial air gap and an axial air gap formed in the cylindrical pump chamber between the orbiter eccentric piston and the pump housing at least one sliding surface is arranged in a manner exposed to the air gap; wherein the at least one sliding surface comprises a microstructure including cavities for decreasing an exposed surface of the at least one sliding surface.

Some implementations of this invention relate to energy systems and more particularly to rotating componentry enabling shaft work, propulsion drive, electric power generation, jet propulsion and/or thermodynamic systems related to aerothermodynamic thrust and shaft power, waste heat recovered shaft power, ventilation, cooling, heat, pressure and/or vacuum generating devices. Some implementations pertain to the art of vane assemblies for eccentrically placed rotating partial admission compressors and expanders that may either be used together or in conjunction with other mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and/or pneumatic machineries. Some implementations further relate to fluid energy recovery mechanical devices, targeting the field of gas turbine engines, internal combustion engines, furnaces, rotary kilns, coolers and refrigeration rotary components and/or expansion nodes. Other implementations are described.
