  • Publication number: 20170314618
    Abstract: Among other things, a bearing assembly comprising a hybrid coating is provided. A bearing assembly may comprise a substrate having a surface and a hybrid wear resistant coating over the surface of the substrate. In an example, the substrate may be an inner radial bearing and/or and outer radial bearing within a bearing assembly. The hybrid wear resistant coating may comprise a high wear resistant coating and a low wear resistant coating. The high wear resistant coating may comprise a wear resistant matrix over the surface and a set of wear resistant elements within the wear resistant matrix. In an example, wear elements within the set of wear elements may comprise tungsten carbide. The low wear resistant coating may be over a low wear area of the surface. In an example, the low wear resistant coating may be positioned between the first high wear resistant coating and a second high wear resistant coating.

  • Patent number: 7878774
    Abstract: A Moineau style stator includes a helical cavity component having reinforced helical lobes. The lobes are reinforced with a three-dimensional network of physically bonded aggregate particles. The network of bonded aggregate provides a porous skeletal-like structural reinforcement. Pore volume between the bonded aggregate particles may optionally be partially or substantially filled with an elastomer. An elastomer liner is typically deployed on an inner surface of the helical lobes to promote a rotational interference fit with a rotor.
