    摘要: A submersible multi-stage labyrinth-screw pump, having a rotor shaft; an end seal for the rotor shaft; an axial unloading unit integrated into the end seal of the rotor shaft; a lower radial bearing; a longitudinal channel, which connects a high-pressure zone at an exit for the rotor and the chamber of the axial unloading unit of the shaft, the axial unloading unit comprising a thrust block with a wear-resistant insert, a thrust collar, mated with a segment of the end seal, the end seal housing, a spring, a thrust ring, and a seat sleeve of the end seal, wherein the end seal of the rotor shaft's axial unloading unit operates as follows, when high pressure appears in the chamber of the rotor shaft's axial unloading unit, the fluid is kept from unproductive flows by hermetic contact of the ground insert of a segment and a seat of the end seal.
