An apparatus for removing rubber stator material from inside a housing includes a head, at least one blade, and an actuator. For example, the apparatus can be used to core out rubber material from the housing so new material can be molded therein. Also, the apparatus can be used to cut back excess rubber material newly molded in the housing. The head is rotated about an axis and is moved along the axis relative to the housing. The at least one blade is pivotably connected to the head and removes the rubber stator material at least partially from inside the housing with the rotation and movement of the head through the housing. The actuator is associated with the at least one blade and is operable to adjust a pivot of the at least one blade relative to the head.

The refrigerant compressor includes a compressor casing (2); an oil sump (13) arranged in the compressor casing (2); and an oil level sensor arrangement (14) configured to detect an oil level in the oil sump (13), the oil level sensor arrangement (14) including a tubular element (16) secured to the compressor casing (2) and a floating element (17) surrounding the tubular element (16) and being movably mounted with respect to the tubular element (16). The compressor casing (2) includes a passage opening (24) and dimensions of the tubular element (16), the floating element (17) and the passage opening (24) are defined to allow an insertion and a removal of the tubular element (16) and the floating element (17) into and out of the compressor casing (2) through the passage opening (24).

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a scroll-type fluid machine for which maintenance can easily be performed in necessary locations, and a maintenance method for said fluid machine. The present invention provides a scroll-type fluid machined characterized by being provided with a main body unit for compressing a fluid, and a motor unit for driving the main body unit; the main body unit having a fixed scroll, a revolving scroll, a main body casing, and an autorotation-preventing mechanism that is held by the revolving scroll and the main body casing and that prevents autorotation of the revolving scroll; the motor unit having a rotor, a stator for causing the rotor to rotate, a shaft that rotates integrally with the rotor, a motor cover for housing the rotor and the stator, and a main bearing that is secured to the interior by the motor cover and that supports the shaft; a distal end of the shaft having an eccentric part; the main body unit and the motor unit being connected via the eccentric part; and the main body casing and the motor cover being fastened by a fastening member.

A method for fixing rotary pistons in a rotary piston pump and a method for dismantling rotary pistons of a rotary piston pump, where the rotary piston pump has two counter-rotating rotary arranged in a pump space on drive shafts. The rotary pistons each include a seating for the drive shafts. The respective drive shaft is arranged and fixed with an end region in the seating of the respective rotary piston. A diameter of the drive shafts in the end region can be widened elastically. In an operational state, in which the rotary pistons are arranged on the respective drive shafts, a frictional connection is formed between the respective seating of the rotary piston and the end region of the respective drive shaft.

A progressive cavity pump is provided, having a stator section and a rotor section axially aligned with and surrounded by the stator section, a drive shaft connection section and a suction chamber, arranged between the stator section and the drive shaft connection section; wherein the suction chamber is configured such that it can be disassembled without moving the stator section or the drive shaft connection section, thereby facilitating the performance of maintenance operations.

A stator for eccentric screw pumps with a stator casing for an elastomer body for accommodating a rotor, the elastomer body being provided with at least one collar, wherein the collar is disposed in a recess between the stator casing and a connection body, wherein the fixing of the elastomer body in the stator casing is to be improved. The stator casing includes for this purpose open cavities, recesses and/or elevations at least at one side on the end face.

A lubricant receptacle for a vacuum pump is provided. The lubricant receptacle comprises a lubricant reservoir, a lubricant separator and an exhaust. A first gas connection is provided between a gas outlet of the lubricant reservoir and a gas inlet of the lubricant separator. For connecting a gas inlet of the lubricant reservoir with the vacuum pump, a second gas connection is provided, while a first lubricant connection is provided for connecting a lubricant outlet of the lubricant reservoir with the vacuum pump. Further, another lubricant connection is provided between a lubricant outlet of the lubricant separator and the lubricant outlet of the lubricant reservoir and/or an additional lubricant connection for connecting the lubricant outlet of the lubricant separator with the vacuum pump is provided. At least one of the gas connections and one of the lubricant connections is selectively coupleable. Furthermore, a vacuum pump system having such a lubricant receptacle and a vacuum pump is provided.

A cartridge vane pump includes: a side plate brought into contact with first end surfaces of the rotor and the cam ring; a cover brought into contact with second end surfaces of the rotor and the cam ring, the cover attached to the body; and an O-ring provided in an outer circumference of the side plate, the O-ring being configured to seal a gap between the outer circumference of the side plate and an inner circumference of the body. The side plate has: a first flange portion configured to restrict movement of the O-ring towards the rotor side; a second flange portion configured to restrict movement of the O-ring towards an opposite side from the rotor. The first flange portion is formed to be able to compress the O-ring with the body in an axial direction of the driving shaft.
