  • Patent number: 12460634
    Abstract: A pump for conveying a fluid includes a casing with a casing inner wall, a pump interior, an inlet opening, an outlet opening, a displacement assembly, and a radial protective element arranged in the pump interior in order to line at least one radial section of the pump interior, the radial protective element bearing against a radial section of the casing inner wall. A fastening element is provided which can be arranged in a fastening position in which the fastening element bears against an edge of the radial protective element and in the process fastens the radial protective element in the pump interior, wherein the fastening element has a longitudinal extent which extends from a first axial end of the pump interior along a recess arranged in the casing inner wall.

  • Patent number: 10982671
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rotary piston pump comprising a housing with a housing interior, an inlet opening, and an outlet opening; a first rotary piston which is mounted within the housing interior in a rotational manner about a first rotational axis; and a second rotary piston which is mounted within the housing interior in a rotational manner about a second rotational axis. The first rotary piston and the second rotary piston engage into each other in a region between the first and the second axis and displace liquid. The first rotary piston has a frame assembly which comprises multiple mutually spaced plates and is at least partly filled and enveloped with a polymer material.

  • Patent number: 9212659
    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for sealing a pump chamber of a rotary lobe pump vis-a-vis a fluid-free region of the rotary lobe pump, in particular in the region of a shaft duct, wherein the apparatus has two or more sealing elements, which can be disposed adjacent to a front side of a rotary piston disposed on a shaft in the pump chamber of the rotary lobe pump in such a way that a labyrinth gap extends between the sealing elements, said labyrinth gap being arranged in a radial direction relative to the shaft and in an axial direction in order to extend the seal land. According to the invention, the seal land is larger in a radial direction relative to the shaft than the seal land in an axial direction relative to the shaft.
