  • Patent number: 11378078
    Abstract: What is concerned is an eccentric screw pump having at least one stator (1), a rotor (2) rotating in the stator, a drive (3) for the rotor, a pump housing (4) which is connected to the stator (1) and has at least one inlet opening (6) for the medium to be conveyed, a connection housing (14) arranged between the pump housing (4) and drive (3), a connection shaft (9) which is connected to the drive (3) and is arranged at least in certain regions in the connection housing (14), and a coupling rod (10) which is arranged in the pump housing (4) and is connected to the connection shaft (9) via a drive-side joint (11) and to the rotor (2) via a rotor-side joint (12). The drive-side housing connection piece (16) can be demounted in such a way that the drive-side joint (11) can be exposed for maintenance or demounting.

  • Patent number: 11326595
    Abstract: An eccentric screw pump has a stator, a rotor in the stator, a drive for the rotor, and a pump housing between the stator and the drive and having an opening between for receiving the medium being pumped. A releasable drive-end coupling connects a connecting shaft of the drive to a coupling rod, and a rotor-end releasably connects the coupling rod to the rotor at a separation point. A rotor stub connects the rotor to the rotor-end coupling and is separable from the rotor at the separation point. A drive-end housing collar secures the pump housing to the drive. A rotor-end housing collar has a fixed first element fixed relative to the pump housing and an axially displaceable second element that is releasably fixable to the stator and that can be pushed axially toward the housing opening of the pump housing onto the first element to expose the separation point.

  • Patent number: 10648337
    Abstract: The invention relates to an eccentric screw pump, comprising at least one stator (1) composed of an elastic material and a rotor (2) that can be rotated in the stator (1), the stator (1) being surrounded by a stator casing (3) at least in some regions. The stator casing (3) consists of at least two casing segments (19) as a longitudinally divided casing and forms a stator clamping device, by means of which the stator (2) can be clamped against the rotor (1) in the radial direction.

  • Patent number: 8764420
    Abstract: An eccentric-screw pump has an axially split stator having axially opposite intake and output ends and an elastomeric liner defining an axially throughgoing passage. Respective intake and output housings are releasably secured to the intake and output ends of the stator. An axially extending screw rotor in the passage has an end in the intake housing. A drive includes a rotatable universal joint having a pair of relatively swivelable parts in the intake housing. Respective generally complementary formations on the end of the rotor and on one of the universal-joint parts can fit axially together to rotationally couple the one universal-joint part with the rotor. A latch secures the formations axially together for angular force transmission between the one universal-joint part and the rotor.
