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 device for pumping a viscous fluid includes two positive displacement rotary pumps, a first pump (1) and a second pump (2), wherein each pump has an inlet (3, 4) for fluid at a suction side and an outlet (5, 6) for fluid on a discharge side, wherein the inlet (3) of the first pump (1) is connected to a reservoir of the viscous fluid by a connection (14) pipe or hose, wherein the apparatus further includes an intermediate part or connection (7) having an inlet (8), a first outlet (9) and a flow path (10) for fluid, wherein the outlet (5) of the first pump is connected to the inlet (8) of the intermediate part and the outlet (9) of the intermediate part is connected to the inlet (4) of the second pump, such that during the pumping the viscous fluid is forced from the reservoir through the first pump (1), through the intermediate part (7) and through the second pump (2) to the outlet (6) of the second pump.

A pump housing of an oil pump includes a suction port that supplies oil to a pump room, a discharge port that discharges oil from the pump room, and a seal portion that suppresses leakage of oil from the pump room to outside of the pump room. A shaft of the oil pump includes a small diameter portion and a large diameter portion having different diameters, the small diameter portion is connected to the inner rotor, and the shaft and the inner rotor integrally rotate. The seal portion is in contact with a side surface of the inner rotor extending in a diameter direction of the shaft, and also extends to a region in the diameter direction on an inner side smaller than the large diameter portion in the diameter direction.

A pump stage assembly including at least two pump suction stages and at least one pump pressure stage. The pump suction stages and the pump pressure stage are arranged spaced apart from one another in a pump housing PG and have a common drive shaft. The pump suction stages are formed by a first assembly of intermeshing external gearwheels that lie in a first plane, and the pump pressure stage is formed by a second assembly of intermeshing external gearwheels that lie in a second plane. A first delivery volume flow can be drawn in from a first region of a dry sump by a first pump suction stage, and a second delivery volume flow can be drawn in from a second region of the dry sump by a second pump suction stage. The two delivery volume flows intermix in the pump housing before they reach an oil tank.

A fluid transfer pump that has a housing, a body portion movable within the housing between a first position and a second position, a gear coupled to the housing, a body cavity defined partially between the body portion and the housing, and an aperture defined in the housing that selectively provides a fluid to the body cavity. When the fluid is applied to the body cavity at or above a pilot pressure, the body portion is in the first position adjacent to the gear and when the fluid is applied to the body cavity at a fluid pressure lower than the pilot pressure, the body portion is in the second position and spaced from the gear.

A fluid delivery system includes a reservoir for storing fluid, a rotary pump having a first pump port and a second pump port, a first fluid conduit connecting the first pump port to the reservoir, and a second fluid conduit connecting the second pump port to the reservoir. The rotary pump rotates in a first delivery direction in a normal mode and in a second delivery direction in an alternative mode. A first valve separates the first pump port from the reservoir when the rotary pump is in its alternative mode, and a second valve separates the second pump port from the reservoir when the rotary pump is in its normal mode.

A bearing assembly includes a bearing defining a bearing bore therethrough with a plurality of spring bores circumferentially distributed around the bearing bore. A respective spring is seated in each of the spring bores. Each spring is has a flared end that is larger in diameter than a main section of the spring. The flared end of each spring engages its respective spring bore.

A transfer pump configured to move a hydraulic fluid in a hydraulic fluid management system of a hydraulic system of a vehicle including a transmission. In one embodiment, the transfer pump moves the fluid from a differential case to a hydraulic reservoir coupled to the transmission. The transfer pump is a positive displacement pump including an unloading device, such as a sealing plate, that is resiliently biased against the pump during a normal operation but is moved away from the pump upon the application of a pilot pressure. The result is an open chamber for the pump gears to turn without developing pressure, to thereby reduce parasitic losses.
