    摘要: An electric coolant pump is used as an auxiliary water pump in a vehicle. The pump includes radial mounting of the shaft (4) is provided by means of a coolant-lubricated radial sliding bearing (41) arranged between the pump impeller (2) and the rotor (32). A dry-running electric motor (3) with a radially inner stator (31) and a radially outer rotor (32) is accommodated in a motor chamber (13) separated from the pump chamber (10). A shaft seal (5) is between the radial sliding bearing (41) and the motor chamber (13). The rotor (32) is bell-shaped with an inner surface facing the shaft seal (5) and being fixed to the shaft seal (5) to axially overlap with the shaft (4). The motor chamber (13) has an opening to the atmosphere, which is closed by a liquid-tight pressure equalization membrane (6) that is permeable to vapor.

    摘要: In an electrical coolant pump, preferably for use as an additional water pump in a vehicle, a radial bearing of the shaft is provided by means of a radial slide bearing lubricated with coolant on the separating element which is disposed between the pump impeller and the rotor. A dry-running electric motor has a radially inner stator and a radially outer rotor is accommodated within the motor chamber. A shaft seal is disposed between the radial slide bearing and the motor chamber. The rotor is formed in a cup shape, the inner surface of which faces the shaft seal and is fixed to the shaft in an axially overlapping manner. The motor chamber has an opening to the atmosphere which is closed by a liquid-tight and vapor-permeable pressure equalizing membrane. The separating element is configured as a support flange with a separating portion and an axial projection into the motor chamber, to which the stator is attached. The control unit is disposed between the separating element and the stator in the axial direction.

    摘要: An electrically driven gerotor pump has a gerotor which comprises a stationary outer gerotor element with an inner toothing that is axially delimited by two chamber walls, wherein each chamber-forming foot section of the inner toothing is paired with a pressure valve which is connected to the outlet. The gerotor also comprises an inner gerotor element with an outer toothing which is guided in the outer gerotor element in a circumferential manner on an eccentric section of the shaft and is mounted in, a rotatable manner so as to mesh with the inner toothing.

    摘要: The invention relates to an oscillating piston pump for liquid and gaseous fluids, comprising: a pump housing having at least two sector-shaped working chambers, which are diametrically opposed relative to a pivot axis arranged in-between; an oscillating piston, having at least two displacement portions which extend diametrically relative to the pivot axis and are each received pivotably in one of the working chambers; an electric drive, which moves the oscillating piston alternately on a pivot movement between two turning points delimited within the working chambers; a group of outlet valves, which ensure the discharge of a volume displaced from the working chambers to a pump outlet; and a group of inlet valves, which ensure the entry of a volume flowing into the working chambers from a pump inlet. The group of outlet valves or inlet valves is arranged on both sides of each working chamber and communicates through the pump housing with the pump outlet or the pump inlet. The other group of inlet valves or outlet valves is arranged in the oscillating piston and communicates via a cavity in the oscillating piston with the pump inlet or the pump outlet.

    摘要: The invention relates to a shaft bearing having a seal arrangement to prevent steam leakages that can occur in the event of temperature fluctuations or pressure fluctuations between a liquid medium on the one side and a gaseous medium on the other side of the compact bearing, wherein, between a primary radial seal and a rotation bearing portion, a lubrication space surrounding a shaft circumference is arranged that receives a volume of lubricating grease that has a higher viscosity than a lubricating oil and a coolant; and a volume compensator for compensating a temperature-dependent volume fluctuation is provided that comprises a compressible material, and is arranged vertically in interaction with the volume of the lubricating oil and/or the volume of the lubricating grease.

    摘要: An electric screw coolant pump for integration into a temperature control circuit of an assembly of which the temperature is to be controlled. An accommodation housing includes a feeder line and a return line of the temperature control circuit, which open into a cavity. A part of the cavity surrounds a spindle housing and communicates with an outlet opening of the spindle housing as well as the feeder line. A sealing element, which provides a seal between a suction side and a pressure side, is arranged towards an end surface of the axial end of the inserted spindle housing.
