Three Screw Pumps
Menu
Working Principle
- One Power screw and two Idler screws running in the three precision bores in the housing or liner
- Profiled Screws form a liquid tight seal between the threads
- As the screws rotate, cavities are formed, where liquid gets trapped and conveyed from suction chamber to discharge chamber
- The power rotor does not rotate the idlers. The hydraulic forces acting on screw flanks turn the idlers without torque thus reducing the friction
- The idlers simply roll over the root diameter of power screw and float freely in housing/liner bores
- A balance piston on Power rotor takes care of axial thrusts
- Ball bearing is only for axial positioning of Rotor and safer operation of mechanical seal
