The present invention relates to an engine or pump called rotary piston engine or pump, comprising a shape of revolution F relative to a delta axis, and rotatably movable about said delta axis in relation to an envelope V, and n cavities distributed over the perimeter of F. In each cavity is housed a rotating roller, characterized in that at least one roller has its center angle determined so as to obtain the closed volumes it delimits, as large as possible.

Lobe pumps have rings which can be located at least partially in at least one of cover plates and rotors, if not both to provide at least thrust bearings to space the rotors from the cover plates. Some rotors may have voids in ears to make the rotor lighter in weight with the voids potentially capped, symmetrically disposed, arcuately shaped and/or have other desirable features. Some rotors may have ears extending beyond cutouts which may extend beyond hubs, if not beyond hub extensions as well which may receive cover spigots thereabout. Some rings may act as radial bearings as well when located in the cover spigots.

An electric pump actuator for a continuously variable transmission includes a gear wheel pump, a first electric motor, a second electric motor, and an electric control unit. The gear wheel pump has a first gear wheel and a second gear wheel meshing with the first gear wheel. The first electric motor is for actuating the first gear wheel, and the second electric motor is for actuating the second gear wheel independent of the first gear wheel. The electronic control unit is arranged to control the first electric motor to transmit a first torque to the first gear wheel, and control the second electric motor to transmit a second torque to the second gear wheel that is set against the first torque in at least one rotation angle range.

A high speed, rotary lobe gear pump assembly is provided which combines a positive displacement lobe gear pump having wipers with a centrifugal pump utilizing an impeller. The centrifugal pump feeds high pressure fluid flow directly into the lobe gear pump allowing the gear pump to rotate at high speeds without cavitation. The high speed capability of the pump assembly allows the lobe gear pump to operate without speed reduction gearing for the motor shaft.

A rotor comprises a central body configured to rotate. A lobe extends perpendicularly from the central body along an lobe axis. A curved leading periphery and a curved trailing periphery are on opposite sides of the lobe axis. A V-shaped rib spans between the curved leading periphery and the curved trailing periphery. A first hollow space is bounded by the V-shaped rib, the curved leading periphery, and the curved trailing periphery. The first hollow space is distal with respect to the central body along the lobe axis. A second hollow space is bounded by the V-shaped rib, the central body, the curved leading periphery, and the curved trailing periphery. The second hollow space is proximal with respect to the central body along the lobe axis. The rotor can comprise a plurality of stacked, stamped sheets to form a helically twisted supercharger rotor.
