A fuel pump includes a cam arrangement surrounding a rotor and disposed within a spacer ring. The cam arrangement is configured to deterministically translate relative to the spacer ring and the rotor during stroking of the pump. An involute gear set provides an interface between the cam arrangement and the spacer ring. In some cases, the involute gear set is configured to provide a linear translation of the cam arrangement along a timing line. In other cases, the involute gear set is configured to provide a linear translation of the cam arrangement at an angle relative to the timing line.

A rotary device includes a shaft, a rotor coupled to the shaft, and a stator having a cam surface. Vanes reside within slots of the rotary device and engage with the cam surface. A first seal couples to the rotor and includes first grooves that extend in a direction substantially parallel to a rotational axis of the shaft. A second seal couples to the stator and includes second grooves extending in the direction substantially parallel to the rotational axis. A third seal couples to the rotor and includes third grooves extending in the direction substantially parallel to the rotational axis. A fourth seal couples to the stator and includes fourth grooves extending in the direction substantially parallel to the rotational axis. The first grooves and the second grooves, as well as the third grooves and the fourth grooves, from labyrinth seals for the chambers of the rotary device.

An automotive liquid pendulum vane pump includes a pump housing, a rotor ring with circular undercut recesses, a rotor hub with vane slots, and pendulum vanes which connect the rotor ring and the rotor hub. Each vane slot has a substantially plane contact wall slot with a tangential contact nose in an opening region and a diving recess. Each pendulum vane has a circular pendulum head which defines a pendulum hinge which corresponds to a circular undercut recess, a circular pendulum foot which is radially shiftable and pivotable in a vane slot, a vane leg which connects the circular pendulum head and the circular pendulum foot, and a contact path with a contact path surface which contacts the tangential contact nose in a rotational contact sector. A radial inner end of the contact path surface defines an inner tangential projection which temporarily dives into the diving recess.

A dual vane pump system includes first and second vane pumps having first and second rotors with a plurality of vanes moving radially inwardly and outwardly of the first and second rotors, and into contact with an inner surface of the first and second outer liners. A first pre-pressurization passage connects a first pump inlet in the first pump that is at discharge pressure to a second pump outlet in the second pump which is upstream of the second discharge opening. There is a coupling connecting the first and second rotors for rotation together. The pre-pressurization passage extending through the bearing.

A compressor structure includes a vane rotor and a cylinder eccentrically disposed around the vane rotor. The vane rotor has a vane impeller. The vane impeller is in tangential contact with the cylinder to define an eccentric crescent vane chamber. A vane is radially slidably received in the vane impeller. An outward extending top end of the vane tightly abuts against the inner circumferential wall of the vane chamber, whereby the vane chamber is partitioned into an intake section and a compression exhaustion section. When the vane rotor rotates, the vane is driven to drive the cylinder to complete gas compression operation. When rotating, the vane is simply swung at a fixed position of the cylinder, the friction of the compressor can be lowered. The communication of the gas outlet is regulated so that the compression ratio of the compressed gas exhausted from the compressor can be changed.

Disclosed is a vane motor including: a casing including a casing including an inlet port and an outlet port, through which a pressurized fluid comes in or out; a rotor being installed in the casing, turning around a rotational shaft by the pressurized fluid and including a rotor body which has a substantially cylindrical shape and an axis coinciding with an axis of the rotational shaft and a plurality of vanes which is installed in grooves formed on an outer circumferential surface of the rotor body and has a portion protruding from the groove and the portion having a length varied in accordance with a rotational phase, and an inner liner of a cylindrical shape which is installed in the casing and receives the rotor therein, in which a distal end of the vane comes into contact with an inner wall surface of the inner liner while the pressurized fluid is retained therein until the pressurized fluid flowing through the inlet port of the casing is discharged from the outlet port of the casing, and an imaginary rotational axis of the inner liner is spaced apart from a rotational axis of the rotational shaft in a parallel state, but is able to rotate together with the rotor when the rotor turns.

According to the present invention, when the rotor turns, the distal ends of the vanes contact against the inner wall surface of the casing, so that the inner wall surface of the casing and the vanes are worn out, to increase a frequency of replacement and repair and since the energy consumed by the abrasion is decreased and is used to generate the rotational force, the energy converting efficiency of the vane motor is improved.
