Abstract:
A bearing carrier has a bearing body including a first material. The bearing body has an exterior surface defining a bridge land with a finger cut and rotatably supports a first and second gear. The first and second gears intermesh with one another for pressurizing fluid traversing the gears between a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet defined in a housing enveloping the bearing carrier. The bridge land is defined in a second material integral with the first material.
Abstract:
Carbon dioxide compressors having one or more coatings with wear surfaces having electroless surface coatings are provided. Alternatively, propane compressors are contemplated having wear surface coatings. The coating is electrolessly applied and may comprise nickel and wear resistant particles, such as boron nitride. The electroless surface coatings for use with compressor machines improve corrosion and wear resistance, as well as anti-friction properties for compressors processing CO2 or C3H8 containing refrigerants. In certain aspects, a scroll machine has an Oldham coupling and/or lower bearing comprising aluminum and has an electroless surface coating comprising nickel boron nitride particles disposed on one or more wear surfaces. In other aspects, a reciprocating compressor has a wear surface, such as on a connecting rod and/or piston coated with an electrolessly applied nickel and boron nitride particle layer. Methods for making the electroless surface coatings are also provided.

Abstract:
An inner rotor having excellent corrosion resistance, which has an outer gear serving as a component of an internal gear pump, and an outer rotor having excellent corrosion resistance, which has an inner gear engaging with the outer gear. The inner rotor and outer rotor of are made of Cu—Ni-based sintered copper alloy that contains 12 to 50% by mass of Ni, 5 to 20% by mass of Sn, 0.5 to 5% by mass of C, and if necessary, further contains 5 to 20% by mass of Zn, 0.1 to 0.9% by mass of P, and a balance being Cu and inevitable impurities.
