Abstract:
A rotary compressor includes a compressing unit including: an annular cylinder; an end plate having a bearing unit, and closing an end portion of the cylinder; an annular piston fitted in a rotation shaft in the bearing unit, performing an orbital motion inside the cylinder, and forming an operation chamber with the cylinder inner wall; and a vane protruding from a groove of the cylinder to the operation chamber, coming into contact with the annular piston, and partitioning the operation chamber into an inlet chamber and a compression chamber. The vane is formed of steel and has a diamond-like carbon layer on a sliding surface with respect to the annular piston. The annular piston is formed of Ni—Cr—Mo cast iron to which 0.15 wt % to 0.45 wt % of phosphorus is added, or formed of cast iron or steel, and has an iron nitride layer on its outer circumferential surface.

Abstract:
A semi-spherical shoe 1 includes an end face 1B which is disposed in sliding contact with a swash plate 3 and a semi-spherical surface 1A which is disposed in sliding contact with a semi-spherical recess 2A formed in a piston 2. A spherical recess 1C is formed in the top portion of the semi-spherical surface 1A to define a space 4 which serves as a reservoir of lubricant oil between the spherical recess 1C and the semi-spherical recess 2B. If the volume of the space 4 which serves as a reservoir of lubricant oil is increased, an accumulation of abraded power in the spherical recess 1C which forms the space can be prevented in a favorable manner.
Abstract:
A hardfacing for downhole progressing cavity pumps is disclosed as well as a method for producing same. The hardfacing consists of a metal carbide layer applied to the ferrous pump rotor body by way of plasma spraying and a top layer of metallic material having a lower hardness than the metal carbide. The metal carbide layer has a grainy surface with a plurality of peaks and intermediate depressions, the peaks being formed by metal carbide grains at the surface of the metal carbide layer. The thickness of the top layer is adjusted such that the depressions between the peaks of the metal carbide layer are completely filled thereby providing the rotor with a metal carbide hardfacing of significantly reduced surface roughness. In the process of the invention, the pump rotor, which may be provided with a molybdenum bonding layer, is plasma coated with the metal carbide and the resulting carbide layer is covered with the metallic material top layer. The top layer is polished either until the dimensions thereof are within the tolerances acceptable for the finished rotor or until a majority of the peaks of the carbide layer are exposed. The hardfacing significantly increases the service life of the rotor and stator of downhole progressing cavity pumps.
Abstract:
A low-friction piston construction for use in an oil-fed cylinder bore with the piston skirt relieved to define lands that are coated with SFL (graphite, MoS.sub.2, BN, and a special expoxy resin). A method of making such piston construction including provision of asperities on the skirt wall onto which the SFL coating is thermally sprayed and formation of small pockets at the mouth of the asperities to additionally act as oil replenishing reservoirs. A method of using such piston construction in an engine which comprises provisions of a slightly increased gap between the piston and cylinder wall and formation of a transferred SFL coating from the piston to the cylinder wall resulting in two polished microsmooth mating coatings, each attractive to oil films.
Abstract:
A wind turbine rotor (108) includes a first portion (160) of a shaft (134) fabricated from a first steel alloy having a first strength property value. The wind turbine rotor also includes a second portion (170) of the shaft fabricated from a second steel alloy having a second strength property value. The first strength property value is greater than the second strength property value. The second portion of the shaft is welded to the first portion of the shaft.
Abstract:
The invention has an object to enable oilless operation that is indispensable for a pump used to supply air to a fuel battery, to enable easy and accurate alignment between the axes of a pump mechanism and a motor, and to reduce the size of the whole pump. Used in the invention are a plate-like vane (109) made of a material having a self-lubrication property, and a front plate (111) and a rear plate (112) having a self-lubrication material on the respective slide surfaces, and a mechanical shaft (110) of the pump mechanism (102) is integrated with a motor shaft of a DC motor.
