A radial piston pump comprising a rotor mounted for rotation on a pintle. The rotor comprises a plurality of piston chambers, a piston being mounted in each of said chambers for reciprocal movement. The pump comprises a supply flow path which connects the piston chambers to a supply of low-pressure fluid, an exit flow path via which high-pressure fluid from the piston chambers leaves the pump, and an auxiliary flow path which connects another component of the pump to the piston chambers. The pintle comprises a plurality of flow galleries comprising a supply flow gallery forming part of the supply flow path, an exit flow gallery forming part of the exit flow path, and an auxiliary flow gallery forming part of the auxiliary flow path. The radial piston pump uses the pintle as a fluid manifold providing fluid to or from the pistons.

A pump includes a shaft to rotate about a longitudinal axis, a rotor, at least two arcuate slots extending continuously into and through the rotor, wherein each of the slots is curved along a longitudinal slot axis, and at least two arcuate vanes, each of the vanes being shaped to be slidably seated in one of the slots, each of the vanes being movable in the corresponding slot between an extended position with the external edge of the vane adjacent the interior sidewall of the housing, and a retracted position wherein the external edge of the vane does not extend beyond the cylindrical surface of the rotor. Each of the vanes is spaced from an adjacent vane about the rotor such that there is always at least one vane positioned between the fluid inlet and fluid outlet ports.

A pump, comprising:

an accommodating housing which forms a cup-shaped accommodating space comprising an end-facing wall and a circumferential wall; and

a pump insert which is arranged in the accommodating space, wherein the pump insert comprises:

a rotor;

a first housing part and a second housing part, between which the rotor is arranged such that it can be rotated about a rotational axis and relative to the first and second housing part; and

a stroke ring which surrounds the rotor,

wherein an annular sealing element which is arranged between the end-facing wall and the second housing part encloses a pressure space which is formed between the end-facing wall and the second housing part, wherein the pressure space is connected via an outlet channel to a delivery chamber which is formed between the rotor and the stroke ring, and

wherein the spring comprises a spring structure which is made of metal and which imbues the spring with its essential spring characteristics, wherein the sealing element is fastened to the spring structure.

A pump, comprising a pump insert which is arranged in an accommodating space of a cup-shaped pump housing. The pump insert comprises a first housing part and a second housing part between which a rotor is rotatably arranged, and a stroke ring which surrounds the rotor and is arranged between the first housing part and the second housing part. A spring flexing along the rotational axis is arranged between the accommodating housing and the second housing part. The spring comprises a spring structure which is made of metal and which imbues the spring with its essential spring characteristics along the rotational axis. The spring is supported towards the second housing part in a region which is arranged in axial alignment with the stroke ring in the direction of the rotational axis, and thus presses the second housing part against the stroke ring.

A motor includes a rotor assembly includes a rotor and a motor shaft secured to the rotor. The motor further includes stator coils. Circuitry of the motor includes electronic components that cooperatively operate to activate and deactivate the coils to cause the rotor assembly to rotate, and first and second power terminals. An electrically conductive outer housing surrounds the motor. An electrically conductive grounding tab is electrically connected to the first power terminal. The tab contacts a radially-inwardly facing surface of the outer housing to provide a electrostatic discharge path from the outer housing to the ground terminal.

A rotary vane pump or rotary vane motor including a rotatable rotor being eccentrically arranged within a rotatable cylindrical housing sleeve defining a freely rotary working chamber which takes out the relative sliding movement and friction inside to outer housing bearing. A partition element of a vane hingedly attached to the rotor; wherein the partition element travels with the rotor following the orbit of the housing incident to the expansion and contraction of the working space performing as a true dynamic radial seal; The rotor assembly along with the housing assembly being sandwiched between end-plates to fulfill dynamic side seal; The end-plates may contain pressure and non-pressure ports as well as holes for shaft, bearings, brackets and mounting hardware.
