  • Patent number: 8465253
    Abstract: A pump housing of a rotary pump has a pump chamber in which an impeller can rotate, an intake port, an output port similar to the intake port, the intake and output ports having respective axially oppositely directed flanges centered on a flange axis, and respective unitary projections on the flanges each formed with a respective flat extending parallel to the flange axis. The flats form only two axially spaced mounting points for securing the pump to a support surface extending parallel to the axis.

  • Patent number: 8196286
    Abstract: A coil-holding assembly for an electrical machine has coil holders made of plastic and on which coils of a stator can be wound. The coil holders are formed and pivotal on an outer edge of a planar central plastic support by integral film hinges between a winding position parallel to a plane of the support and a bent-up position perpendicular to the plane. Thus the coils can be wound on the holders in the parallel position thereof and the holders are then moved into the bent-up position for use in the electric machine.

  • Patent number: 7938404
    Abstract: A shaft extending along and rotatable about an axis and a housing surrounding a portion of the shaft are provided with a seal assembly having an inner ring fixed on and rotatable with the shaft and having a pair of axially oppositely directed outer faces and a pair of outer slide rings axially flanking the inner ring and having inner faces axially sealed on the inner-ring outer faces. The outer rings, the housing, and the inner ring form an annular housing compartment surrounding the shaft. A blocking compartment on the housing is separate from the housing compartment. The inner ring is formed with a radially throughgoing passage having an inner end open on the shaft and an outer end open into the housing compartment. The housing is formed with a bore between the housing compartment and blocking compartment.

  • Patent number: 7520454
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cutting tool pertaining to a centrifugal pump for liquids loaded with solids. Said cutting tool comprises a rotating cutting body comprising at least one opening forming a cutting edge and through which the liquid flows, the lateral surface of the cutting body facing the rotationally fixed opposite surface that also comprises at least one opening through which the liquid flows. The lateral surface of the cutting body, facing the opposite surface, is curved in a convex manner, and the opposite surface is curved in a correspondingly concave manner.
