Abstract: An eccentric screw pump has a stator, a rotor rotating in the stator, a drive, and a pump housing connected to the stator and having at least one inlet or outlet opening for a medium to be conveyed. A connecting shaft driven by the drive rotates concentrically with an axis, and a connecting housing connected between the pump housing and the drive at least partially surrounds the connecting shaft. A coupling-side shaft seal lies between the connecting shaft and the connecting housing, and a coupling rod in the pump housing is connected to the connecting shaft at a drive-side end and to the rotor at a rotor-side end thereof and generating eccentric movement of the rotor-side end on concentric rotation of the connecting shaft. A sensor is mounted in or on the connecting housing adjacent the connecting shaft for detecting or measuring deviation from axially concentric rotation thereof.

Abstract: An eccentric screw pump has at least one stator of elastic material and extending along an axis, a rotor rotatable about the axis in the stator, and an axially split stator housing at least partially surrounding the stator and, formed by at least two housing segments. A stator-clamping device presses the housing segments radially against the stator and thereby presses the stator against the rotor. It has one or more movable adjusting elements that bear radially inward on the housing segments for radially adjusting and clamping the stator and one or more actuators connected or provided with the adjusting elements for automatically positioning the housing segments.

Abstract: The invention relates to an eccentric screw pump comprising at least one stator (1) made from an elastic material and a rotor (2) that is rotatable in the stator (1), wherein at least some regions of the stator (1) are surrounded by a stator casing (3), and the stator casing (3), as a casing split along its length, consists of at least two casing segments (19) and forms a stator clamping device by means of which the stator can be clamped against the rotor (2) in the radial direction, wherein the stator clamping device has one or more movable adjusting elements which work on the casing segments (19) to adjust and clamp the stator. Said pump is characterised in that the stator clamping device comprises one or more actuators which are connected to the adjusting elements or are equipped with adjusting elements for an automated advancement of the stator.
