  • Self-lubricating pump throat seal
    Patent number: 10774830
    Abstract: A pump housing includes an integral vent flow path extending between a low-pressure region and the reservoir. The vent path provides fluid communication between the downstream side of a throat seal dividing the low-pressure region from a high-pressure region and the reservoir. Lubricant flows through the vent path from the reservoir to the low-pressure region to provide lubrication to the throat seal.
    Type: Grant

  • Electronic pump motor control
    Patent number: 9618156
    Abstract: A motor control system for a lubricant pump motor comprises a pump system power input, a motor drive, a current sensor, a lubrication controller, and a drive controller. The pump system power input is configured to supply system power. The motor drive is configured to drive the lubricant pump motor using the system power. The current sensor is disposed between the pump system power input and the motor drive to sense an input current of the system power. The lubrication controller configured to provide motor activation signals. The drive controller is disposed to receive the motor activation signals via an isolated digital input, and to control the motor drive as a function of the sensed input current and a user-defined current set-point, in response to the activation signals.
