Abstract: A connector assembly comprising a pin connector assembly, a socket connector assembly, and an insulating member. The pin connector assembly comprises a generally cylindrical shape with an outer surface, an inner spring, and mechanically coupled to an electrical cable. The socket connector assembly comprises a generally cylindrical in shape with an inner surface, an outer spring, and mechanically coupled to an electrical cable. The contact surface stress between the pin connector and socket connector can be increased by the inner spring, the outer spring, or both. The contact resistance of the connectors is reduced by the increase in contact surface stress via the spring force. The insulating member can be threadingly coupled to the mated connectors.

Abstract: A bearing assembly for an electrical motor of an ESP pump assembly comprising an outer bearing sleeve with an inner surface and an anti-rotation device rotationally coupling the outer sleeve to a stator and an inner bearing sleeve with an outer surface and an anti-rotation device coupling the inner bearing sleeve to a drive shaft. A fluid film gap located between the outer surface and the inner surface generates a high pressure zone and a low pressure zone in response to a rotational motion of the inner bearing sleeve relative to the outer bearing sleeve. The high pressure zone generates a fluid exit zone and the low pressure zone generates a fluid inlet zone for the working volume of fluid within the fluid film gap. A fluid supply path with ports at the sides of the bearing can exchange a volume of cooling fluid with the volume of working fluid within the fluid film.

Abstract: An electric submersible pump (ESP) electric motor. The ESP electric motor comprises a drive shaft; a first metal compliance ring located around the drive shaft; a second metal compliance ring located around the drive shaft; a first bearing sleeve located around the drive shaft, located around the first metal compliance ring, and located around the second metal compliance ring, wherein there is an interference fit between the inside of the first bearing sleeve and the first metal compliance ring and between the inside of the first bearing sleeve and the second metal compliance ring; and a second bearing sleeve located around the first bearing sleeve and located inside an inner bore of a stator of the electric motor.
