Abstract

See full text

Various examples are provided for progressive cavity pumps and motors. In one example, among others, a progressive cavity pump (or motor) includes a stator having a hyperboloidal internal bore including a plurality of spiral lobes, and a rotor comprising a plurality of spiral lobes positioned within the hyperboloidal internal bore of the stator. A longitudinal axis of the rotor is non-planar, non-parallel, and non-intersecting with a longitudinal axis of the stator. The stator can include an elastomeric material coating the hyperboloidal internal bore of the stator, which can reduce the effect of friction and abrasion during operation. The elastomeric material can include fluoro-based elastomers, other elastomeric materials or combinations thereof. For example, a fluoromonomer such as tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) or a fluoropolymer such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) can be used. The rotor can be configured to allow for displacement to adjust an interference fit between the rotor and the stator.
