A liquid pump of the present disclosure includes a container, a shaft, a bearing, a pump mechanism, a storage space, and a liquid supply passage. The shaft is disposed in the container. The bearing supports the shaft. The pump mechanism pumps a liquid by rotation of the shaft. The storage space is defined in the container at a position outside the pump mechanism. The storage space stores the liquid to be taken into the pump mechanism or the liquid to be discharged to outside of the container after being expelled from the pump mechanism. The liquid supply passage is a flow path including an inlet open to the storage space and supplying the liquid stored in the storage space to the bearing.

It is a positive displacement, non-pulsating hydraulic pump with a double action piston that is non-reciprocating and generates fixed volume with high pressure. The piston moves in one direction through the inside of a toroid chamber in which two movable walls isolate the loading and unloading cavities. When a movable wall opens to give way to the piston the other movable wall splits two cavities within this chamber. When hydraulic pressure is supplied it works as a hydraulic motor, which allows the use of high efficiency and performance of the piston in the production of electric energy. It also substantially reduces size and considerably simplifies the mounting of the piston's operating mechanism. All of this improves performance of the hydrostatic transmission.

A vane pump has a rotor and a control slide mounted within an internal chamber of a housing. The rotor has a number of vane mounting openings and vanes. Rotation of the rotor generates a pressure differential between inlet and outlet ports of the pump to draw fluid in and output the fluid out. Both the vane mounting openings and vanes are arranged in pairs that are diametrically opposed to one another with respect to the rotor axis. The vanes in each said pair have an intermediate transfer member extending therebetween that shifts with one vane of each said pair retracting radially inwardly by engagement with the internal surface of the rotor receiving space for extension of the opposing vane of each said pair radially outwardly toward the internal surface of the rotor receiving space. The intermediate transfer member may be a pin provided between the vanes of the pair.

An oil pump, in particular an electric or electromotive auxiliary pump for a motor vehicle, having a housing having an inlet on the admission side and an outlet on the pressure side, in addition to a pump rotor which is inserted in the housing such that it can rotate about an axis, and having at least one rotor part, a flexible housing component which is in the form of an elastic press plate and which extends over the cross-sectional surface of the pump rotor. The flexible pressure plate is maintained, in an advantageous manner, in the edge area of the second housing parts.

A compressor includes a drive shaft having a main shaft and an eccentric portion, and a compression mechanism having a fitted tubular portion into which a fitted shaft portion of the drive shaft is fitted. The fitted shaft portion and the fitted tubular portion slide relative to each other with an oil film interposed between. The fitted shaft portion has first and second sliding surfaces formed as portions of an outer peripheral surface in the circumferential direction. The second sliding surface has a smaller axial width than the first sliding surface. A sliding portion between the fitted shaft portion and the fitted tubular portion has a gap adjacent to the second sliding surface into which a lubricating oil flows, and an oil retainer to keep the lubricating oil in the gap from flowing out toward an end surface of the fitted shaft portion.

A pump having a stroke ring which has an axial recess, a rotor which is received in the axial recess so as to be rotatable relative to the stroke ring, wherein the rotor has radial recesses in which delivery elements are displaceable received as viewed in a radial direction, a side plate which closes off the axial recess on a first side, a pressure plate which closes off the axial recess on a second side, wherein the pressure plate has at least one opening, wherein a pressure region of the pump is fluidically connected to external surroundings of the pressure plate through the at least one opening, and wherein at least one fluid path is provided from the pressure region of the pup into an under-vane region of the delivery elements, and a cold-start plate which is preloaded against the pressure plate by means of a spring element such that, at least when the pump is at a stand-still, the cold-start plate closes the at least one opening in the pressure plate to the external surroundings of the pressure plate. The pump is characterized in that the spring element is supported on the pressure plate so as to introduce preload forces into the cold-start plate, and in that the spring element is fastened to the pressure plate.

A production apparatus for a liquid containing gas bubbles includes a casing, a pump unit, and a gas bubble-mixing unit. The casing is provided with a main flow channel for a liquid, the main flow channel having a liquid inflow port and a liquid outflow port. The pump unit is disposed in the main flow channel and pumps the liquid to the liquid outflow port from the liquid inflow port. The gas bubble-mixing unit includes a first choke portion that is disposed in the main flow channel and has an inner diameter decreased and a gas supply channel that supplies the first choke portion with a gas.
