Introduction
‘A rotary pump is 2 positive displacement
pump, consisting of a chamber containing gears,
cams, screws, vanes, plungers or similar ele
ments actuated by relative rotation of the drive
shaft and casing, and which has no separate
inlet and outlet valves. These pumps are char-
acterized by their close running clearances.
Pumps covered in this section fall into two gen
eral classes, single rotor and multiple rotor.
+ Relationships between types and classes of
pumps are illustrated below.
Single Rotor Pump
A single rotor pump is a pump in which all of
the rotating pumping elements operate around a
single axis.
Multiple Rotor Pump
‘A multiple rotor pump is a pump in which the
rotating pumping elements operate around more
than one axis.

132Basic Types
There are four basic types in the single rotor
pump class and also four basic types in the
multiple rotor pump class.
Vane
In this type, the vane or vanes, which may
be in the form of blades, buckets, rollers, or
slippers, cooperate with @ cam to draw fiuid into
and force it from the pump chamber. These
pumps may be made with vanes in either the
rotor or stator and with radial hydraulic forces
on the rotor balanced or unbalanced. The vane:
in-rotor pumps may be made with constant or
variable displacement pumping elements. Fig. 2
illustrates 2 vane-in-rotor constant displacement
unbalanced pump. Fig. 3 illustrates @ vane:in
stator constant displacement unbalanced pump.
Piston
In this type, fluid is drawn in and forced out
by pistons which reciprocate within cylinders
with the valving accomplished by rotation of the
pistons and cylinders relative to the ports. The
cylinders may be axially or radially disposed and
arranged for either constant or variable displace
ment pumping. All types are made with multiple
nistons except that the constant displacement
radial type may be either single or multiple pis:
ton. Fig. 4 illustrates an axial, constant displace
ment piston pump,
Flexible Member
In this type, the fluid pumping and sealing
action depends on the elasticity of the flexible
member(s). The flexible member may be @ tube,
‘a vane, or a liner. These types are illustrated in
Figs. 5, 6, and 7, respectively.
Lobes
In this type, fluid is carried between rotor lobe
surfaces from the inlet to the outlet. The rotor
surfaces cooperate to provide continuous seal
ing. The rotors must be timed by separate
means. Each rotor has one or more lobes. Figs.
8 and § illustrate @ single and a three-lobe
pump, respectively.
