The invention relates to a pump (2) intended to pump an additive in an SCR system for a vehicle. The pump is configured to rotate in a first direction of rotation in order to convey additive stored in a tank towards an injector via an injection channel. The pump includes a chamber (23) which houses a gear system (22). The chamber (23) is in fluid communication with the tank and the injection channel via an inlet channel (24) and an outlet channel (25) respectively. The pump is such that the inlet channel and the outlet channel are arranged so that after draining the injection channel, the chamber collects and retains the additive.

Disclosed is a pump, in particular a high-pressure fuel pump, comprising at least one pump element (10) that has a roller tappet (20) inside which a roller (42) is rotatably mounted on a bearing bolt (44) by means of a bearing sleeve (46), said roller (42) rolling off a cam (22) of an input shaft (24). The bearing sleeve (46) is made of a plastic material, especially polyether ether ketone (PEEK) or polyphthalamide (PPA).

The present invention provides a method for producing a durable semispherical shoe which can be prevented from being subjected to seizure even in a dry lubrication state in which there is no lubricating oil at a start time of an operation of a swash plate compressor, can be restrained from deteriorating in its lubricating property due to generated frictional heat, and can be restrained from deteriorating in its strength at a production time and an injection molding die. A semispherical shoe (4), for a swash plate compressor, to be produced by the production method has a base material (5), consisting of a hard material, which has a hollow part along a central axis thereof and a resin layer, consisting of a resin composition, which is formed on a surface of a planar part, disposed on a periphery of the base member, which is to be subjected to sliding contact with the swash plate and on a surface of a spherical part, disposed on the periphery thereof, which is to be subjected to sliding contact with a piston. A resin-filled portion (8) where the resin composition is filled and an empty portion where the resin composition is not filled are formed in the hollow part of the base material. The resin-filled portion (8) and the resin layer are formed by injecting and filling the resin composition into a portion to be formed as the resin-filled portion (8) with the base material (5) being disposed inside a cavity (22) of the injection molding die.

A plunger pump includes a cylinder section having a cylinder chamber and a spacer section sliding against a portion of the plunger closer to a proximal end side than a portion of a plunger advancing and retracting into the cylinder chamber. The cylinder section is made of a material having first hardness, and the spacer section being made of a resin material having second hardness softer than the first hardness. A length in an axial direction from a proximal end of a sliding portion of the spacer section sliding against the plunger to a distal end of the spacer section is larger than a maximum stroke length of reciprocation of the plunger.

A screw rotor is made out of polymer. The screw rotor includes a shaft with a rotor body on it. The polymer of the shaft is reinforced with fibers. The shaft features elements that engage the rotor body or corresponding elements on the rotor body, such that the elements prevent an axial and/or rotational movement of the shaft with respect to the rotor body.

A screw compressor element may have a housing; a cylinder bearing including an inner ring, an outer ring, a raceway, and a cylindrical rolling element that contacts the inner ring and the outer ring at a location of the raceway thereof; and a ball bearing including an inner ring, an outer ring, a raceway, and a ball shaped rolling element that contacts the inner ring and the outer ring at a location of the raceway thereof, wherein a rotor is rotatably arranged by way of the cylinder bearing and the ball bearing.

A bush bearing having an outer lubricating layer, a manufacturing method therefor and a scroll compressor having same applied thereto, according to the present disclosure, includes a bush bearing comprising: a base member which has a cylindrical shape having no separated surfaces along the circumferential direction; and a lubricating member which is formed from a material having a lower rigidity and more excellent lubricity than the base member, and has a cylindrical shape having no separated surfaces along the circumferential direction by being integrally provided to the outer circumferential surface of the base member, wherein the cylindricity of the outer circumferential surface of the lubricating member satisfies a value that is within 0.6% of the average thickness of the lubricating member, and the lubricating member has carbon fiber contained in a resin base, wherein the carbon fiber has cut surfaces exposed on both ends of the lubricating member.

A refrigeration cycle apparatus includes a refrigerant and a refrigeration cycle circuit. The refrigeration cycle circuit includes a heat exchanger and a compressor, and circulates the refrigerant. The refrigerant is a single hydrofluoroolefin (HFO)-based refrigerant or a mixed refrigerant. In the mixed refrigerant, an HFO-based refrigerant is mixed at a mixing ratio of 10% by weight or more. The compressor includes a motor. The motor includes a resin component. The resin component includes a polyimide having a terminal blocked with a terminal group.
