  • Patent number: 11365763
    Abstract: A bearing attachment system for a pump product having a seal carrier and a cover plate. The attachment system is configured to produce a force deflection curve that provides a clamping force on a pair of tapered roller bearings such that a tight bearing endplay on the tapered roller bearings is maintained through a full range of manufacturing tolerances. The geometric shape of the cover plate and the top surface of the seal carrier provide the desired deflection characteristics.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 6, 2019
    Date of Patent: June 21, 2022
    Assignee: Danfoss Power Solutions Inc.

  • Publication number: 20160017997
    Abstract: A servo piston having an elongated member with a first end and a second end. The second end has a servo piston head disposed within a servo piston bore. The servo piston head has at least two grooves disposed about an outer edge of the servo piston head. At last one sealing ring is received within each groove. The use of rings in at least two grooves reduces side/transversal vibration and the servo bore load. At the same time, the space between the two grooves creates a pressurized oil squeeze film between the servo piston head and servo piston bore, sealed by the rings, which provides both a sealing and damping function at the same time.
