  • Patent number: 11236747
    Abstract: An eccentric screw pump for pumping fluids or flowing conveying media from a suction side to a pressure side, which includes a rotor and a stator, the stator being flexible and is connected to the pump housing on one side, in particular on the suction side. The rotor is connected to the drive shaft by means of an articulation. When the eccentric screw pump is in the idle state, there is no sealing contact at least in areas between the rotor and the stator in the sealing areas. When the eccentric screw pump is in the operating state, the stator is surrounded, at least in sections and/or, essentially, on the periphery by the conveying medium. The rotor and the stator are brought into contact with each other in the operating state along the sealing area.

  • Patent number: 9617995
    Abstract: A rotary piston pump with at least two double- or multi-lobe rotary pistons rotating in opposite directions, the drive shafts whereof include seals, wherein the seals are constituted as slip ring seals or lip seals or stuffing-box seals, which in each case are disposed on the shaft shoulder belonging to the respective rotary piston, and one slip ring per seal is provided with a locking device, which includes a large number of fixing positions. The seals are pushed onto a tubular shoulder of the rotary piston, the rotary piston is introduced into the pump housing, the securing element is connected to the slip ring seal in a form-fit manner by rotation of the rotary piston and the shaft shoulder is then rigidly connected to the drive shaft.

  • Patent number: 9617992
    Abstract: A rotary piston pump for the delivery of liquids and for the delivery of liquids containing solids. The rotary piston pump includes a pump housing which is provided with an inlet and an outlet. The pump housing includes a lining. Disposed in the pump housing, or inside the lining, are at least two counter-rotating rotary pistons, which form pump spaces during their rotation. During the rotational movement, the rotary pistons are sealed against one another, against the pump housing and against the lining. Disposed in the pump housing and/or in the lining, in the spatial vicinity of the inlet and/or the outlet, are means with which the pulsation can be reduced or even completely prevented.

  • Patent number: 9611850
    Abstract: A method and a device for fixing and synchronizing rotary pistons in a rotary piston pump involves introducing the rotary pistons into the pump space of the rotary piston pump. A shaft stub of each rotary piston is then pushed through a pump rear wall onto a driveshaft provided for the respective rotary piston. The rotary pistons are aligned and synchronized in the pump space via a template, the template being fixed detachably to a pump housing. The shaft stubs of the respective rotary piston are connected, after the synchronization, in each case via a clamping device in a friction-locked manner to the respective driveshaft, outside the pump space.

  • Patent number: 7104770
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the arrangement of a stator and a spare stator. In order to avoid a permanent correction in the length of the driving shaft, the spare stator is connected to the instantaneously operated stator or is configured in a single piece. Upon occurrence of a defined amount of wear, this stator combination is merely reversed through 180° relative to the longitudinal axis or an intermediate tube is inserted so that the spare stator arrives in the rotor region.

  • Publication number: 20040057846
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an eccentric screw-type pump. Due to their contact with the product to be pumped, the rotor and the stator of an eccentric screw-type are subject to a permanent wearing process. As the exchange of corresponding components subject to wear involves down times or requires special tools, the inventive eccentric screw-type pump is provided with a spare unit including, in particular, the stator, the rotor, the shaft, the driving shaft and the seal.
