  • Publication number: 20130022487
    Abstract: The invention relates to a vane pump comprising a pump housing that has a sleeve-shaped housing body, a bottom, and a cover, with the bottom and cover axially closing the housing body. The vane pump also has a rotor, which lies eccentrically in the housing body and which is rotatably mounted in the bottom and the cover, and one or more vanes which are movably mounted in the rotor in an axial direction. Each vane has bearing pins on the axial end faces thereof, with the bearing pins engaging in the bottom and the cover.

  • Patent number: 8210836
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a vane cell pump having an external rotor, an internal rotor and a plurality of vanes which are secured in a pivotable manner on the external rotor and which are displacably mounted in a radial manner in the inner rotor, essentially in radial slots. The external rotor is guided along the inner circumferential surface of a stator. The axis of the stator and the axis of the internal rotor are offset in relation to each other, and the stator can be adjusted in the radial direction in relation to the internal rotor and can be modified by the offset. Said stator is partially enclosed by a clamp which is mounted in a pivotable bearing in the housing of the vane cell pump. The clamp includes clamp arms which protrude on both sides of the pivotable bearing, which partially enclose, respectively, the stator.

  • Patent number: 8113794
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rotor pump having an internally toothed outer ring and an externally toothed inner ring which is mounted therein and intermeshes therewith, wherein the outer ring and the inner ring are arranged axis-parallel to one another, and the axes of the outer ring and of the inner ring are at a distance from one another, and the outer ring is connected to a hollow shaft motor with a stator which is fitted with windings, and to a rotor which is rotatably mounted therein, characterized in that the outer ring forms the rotor of the hollow shaft motor.

  • Patent number: 7802971
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a feed pump for hydraulic media having an input and an output. A pressure-reducing element is connected to the output, at the output of the element the system pressure being present and the output being connected to a consumer, wherein the output is connected to the first input of a pump controller, the second input being connected to the output of the pressure-reducing element, and wherein the pump controller adjusts the feed pump toward maximum delivery if the system pressure is smaller than a minimum pressure or if the system pressure is smaller than the feed pressure, and wherein parallel to the pump controller a pressure limiter is switched such that at the first input thereof the feed pressure is present and at the control input the system pressure is present, wherein the pressure limiter opens if the feed pressure is greater than a desired value.

  • Publication number: 20090078241
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for adjusting a displacement pump that has a variable volume flow rate in an internal combustion engine. Said method comprises the following steps: the displacement pump is driven; the fluid is conveyed to the consumption points in the internal combustion engine; at least one characteristic value is determined from the exhaust gas flow of the internal combustion engine; said characteristic value is forwarded to a control device as an actual value signal; the actual value signal is compared to a given target value; a control signal is preprocessed from the deviation between the actual value signal and the target value; the control signal is fed to an actuator; the volume flow rate of the displacement pump is modified by means of the actuator in accordance with the control signal; the steps of the method are repeated until the actual value signal is identical to the target value.
