  • Patent number: 11183782
    Abstract: An adjustable neutral bar and adjustable neutral bar assemblies are provided. The bars and bar assemblies are adjustable to a desired number of taps. The bars and bar assemblies can have mating bar ends or clips that allow for easy connection of multiple bars to one another. Additionally, the bars and bar assemblies can have shear regions that allow for easy separation of a bar at a desired location.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 13, 2019
    Date of Patent: November 23, 2021
    Assignee: Hubbell Incorporated

  • Patent number: 8256697
    Abstract: A seal system including a sleeve configured to receive a rotatable shaft therein and a dynamic race configured to be rotatably coupled to the shaft. The seal system further includes a biasing element configured to urge the dynamic race into engagement with a static race to form a primary seal, and a shroud configured to be rotatably coupled to the sleeve and positioned radially outside the biasing element. The seal system also includes a sealing element configured to be positioned radially inside the biasing element and to sealingly engage the sleeve to provide a secondary seal to generally block fluid bypassing the primary seal.

  • Patent number: 7607903
    Abstract: An apparatus for removing a stator tube from a position about a rotor of a progressing cavity pump is provided. The apparatus includes an actuator assembly having a base and a piston which is longitudinally displaceable relative to the base, and a pusher rod. The base of the actuator assembly is removably attachable to a discharge end of the stator tube. The pusher rod is longitudinally releasably attachable to the piston at a plurality of locations along the length of the pusher rod and is located to engage the rotor when the base is coupled to the stator tube. The pusher rod is coupled to the piston and the piston is driven by the actuator assembly. With only slight modifications the apparatus may also be used to install the stator tube on the rotor when operated in a substantially opposite way.

  • Patent number: 7553139
    Abstract: A progressing cavity pump including a drive component configured to be rotated by a motor and a driven component that is magnetically rotationally coupled to the drive component. The driven component is fluidly isolated from the drive component. The pump further includes a wobble stator and a rotor positioned inside the stator and configured such that rotation of the driven component causes relative rotation between the rotor and the stator, which in turn causes material in the pump to be pumped therethrough.

  • Publication number: 20090068024
    Abstract: A progressing cavity pump heat management system including a progressing cavity pump and a controller. The controller is configured to receive data relating to the temperature of materials exiting the pump and the differential pressure across the pump to determine whether corrective action is required. The controller is configured such that if the controller determines that corrective action is required, the controller institutes corrective action to seek to reduce at least one of the temperature of materials exiting the pump or differential pressure across the pump.
