A fluid displacement apparatus includes a stator section with a rotor therein. The stator section includes a cylindrical casing, a helically-convoluted chamber section within the cylindrical casing, and a rigid sleeve within the cylindrical casing and separate from the helically-convoluted chamber section. The rigid sleeve includes a circular internal bore. The rotor is rotatably disposed within the cylindrical casing. The rotor includes a helically-lobed section disposed within the helically-convoluted chamber section, and a circular cylinder section disposed within the rigid sleeve. The circular cylinder section provides a fluid passageway between the rigid sleeve and the circular cylinder section. Side loads from the rotor are distributed along a contact line at any point of rotation of the circular cylinder section within the rigid sleeve.

A stator assembly for a progressive cavity pump or a progressive cavity motor includes connectors for connecting functional elements and at least one stator, the stator including an outer pipe as well as a lining subject to wear which is disposed inside the outer pipe, the at least one stator being disposed between the connectors such that a cavity extending across the entire stator assembly for housing a rotor is created. Between at least one of the connectors and at least one stator adjacent thereto and/or between adjacent stators an adhesion region is provided, whereby in the adhesion region an adhesive is disposed in such a way that between the at least one connector and the at least one stator adjacent thereto and/or between said respectively adjacent stators a substance-to-substance connection is created.

A method for repairing a worn portion in an inner diameter surface of a bore of a cast iron part is disclosed. The inner diameter surface of the bore may have an original surface geometry prior to wear. The method may comprise forming a crescent-shaped pocket in the inner diameter surface of the bore to remove the worn portion, installing an insert in the crescent-shaped pocket, and post-machining the insert to form a crescent-shaped insert that is flush with the original surface geometry of the bore inner surface diameter.

A cam liner for use in an integrated drive generator has a cam liner body extending between a first end spaced from the second end by a first distance. The body is generally cylindrical. An outer diameter of the cam liner defines a second distance. A ratio of the first distance to the second distance is between 0.90 and 1.00. An integrated drive generator and a method are also disclosed.

A method for decoupling a liquid ring pump component from a liquid ring pump for facilitating maintenance services, the liquid ring pump comprising a housing defining an annular chamber and a shaft passing into the chamber, the component being disposed around the shaft and coupled between the shaft and the housing, the method comprising: coupling, using a first fixing member, a first end of the shaft to the housing thereby to prevent or oppose movement of the shaft relative to the housing in at least a radial direction; and, thereafter, sliding the component along the shaft in a direction along the shaft from the housing towards the first end of the shaft, thereby spacing apart the housing and the component.

A pump includes a housing having a first end and a second end and extending along a longitudinal axis and a discharge casing having a first end coupleable to the second end of the housing. The discharge casing extends along the longitudinal axis coaxial to the housing. A dismounting device includes a first dismount casing and a second dismount casing disposed between the discharge casing and the second end of the housing. The dismounting device extends along the longitudinal axis coaxial to the housing and the discharge casing.

An oil-lubricated slide vane rotary vacuum pump with a slide vane unit, and with an oil separating and reconditioning device, wherein oil and gas are separated by separating devices, possibly complemented by oil coolers and/or oil pumps. One or more monitoring and/or servicing devices are provided, and the oil separating and reconditioning device is installed in an oil separating and reconditioning housing. Side walls extend transversely to a plane of rotation of a slide vane rotor, and define a longitudinal extent of the oil separating and reconditioning housing. The one or more monitoring and/or servicing devices are arranged only in one or more cover parts which are attached to one or both end walls of the oil separating and reconditioning housing. The oil separating and reconditioning housing is formed with the side walls, the bottom wall and the top wall without being configured for a monitoring and/or servicing device.

A method for repairing a worn portion in an inner diameter surface of a bore of a cast iron part is disclosed. The inner diameter surface of the bore may have an original surface geometry prior to wear. The method may comprise forming a crescent-shaped pocket in the inner diameter surface of the bore to remove the worn portion, installing an insert in the crescent-shaped pocket, and post-machining the insert to form a crescent-shaped insert that is flush with the original surface geometry of the bore inner surface diameter.

A scroll-type fluid machine and maintenance method for same are provided in order to improve reliability and workability by supplying sufficient grease to necessary parts of an orbiting bearing or auxiliary crank bearing without entailing a complicated operation during maintenance. The scroll-type fluid machine includes a fixed scroll, an orbiting scroll, a casing provided on the outer side of the orbiting scroll in the radial direction, a drive shaft, an orbiting bearing supporting the drive shaft with respect to the orbiting scroll, and a piping supplying a lubricant to the orbiting bearing. The orbiting scroll is provided with a boss plate that is attached to the drive shaft, the piping is provided in the boss plate, and the tip of the piping faces toward an opening provided between the casing and the fixed scroll or toward an opening provided in the fixed scroll or the casing.

An improved repair method and repair kit for gerotor pumps that have become damaged or worn via insertion of a wear plate to directly contact the gerotor and engine casing in order to allow the pump to create a sound seal once more.
