Abstract: A rotor unit for an eccentric screw pump, comprising a drive shaft which is drivable by means of a drive element of the eccentric screw pump, a helical rotor, and a flex shaft connecting the drive shaft to the rotor, wherein the flex shaft is at least in part accommodated within in the drive shaft, and wherein between the flex shaft and the drive shaft a gap extending around the flex shaft is provided, which allows for a radial movement of the flex shaft within the drive shaft.

Abstract: A method for metering a liquid or pasty product in a pressure-regulated manner, has the following steps: metering the product into a mixing chamber using a metering pump; ascertaining a product pressure of the product according to the mixing chamber; ascertaining a deviation of the product pressure from a specified target pressure; and opening or closing a pressure regulating valve provided on an outlet nozzle of the mixing chamber based on the pressure in order to equalize the product pressure and the target pressure, wherein the product pressure is reduced when the pressure regulating valve is opened and increased when the pressure regulating valve is closed.
