  • Patent number: 11453015
    Abstract: A rotor of a centrifugal separator, including a central shaft, a plurality of identical discs arranged in a stack on the central shaft, the central shaft having on an outer circumference an engagement contour for a rotationally fixed, axially slidable engagement with a corresponding contour on an inner circumference of the discs, the engagement and corresponding contours engageable with one another in multiple rotational positions at a circumferential distance from one another, and each disc having spacing elements situated at a disc circumferential distance from one another, which spacing elements hold each two adjacent discs at an axial distance from one another, forming an intermediate flow gap having a gap dimension. The spacing elements are formed and configured such that, via different rotational positions relative to one another of adjacent discs, at least two different axial dimensions of the flow gap between adjacent discs may be set.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9217432
    Abstract: A pendulum-slide pump may include a rotatingly mounted inner rotor connected via at least one pendulum with an outer rotor. The inner rotor may define a plurality of radial grooves configured to receive the pendulum. The grooves may have two groove walls that continues via a rounded region into a shared groove base. The rounded region may have variable groove radii and continue with at least a reduced curvature jump into the groove base or the groove walls. The groove radii may be greated in the translation to the groove walls and to the groove base than therbetween.
