Functional description

Depending on the version, progressive cavity pumps are used for pumping low-viscosity to
high-viscosity media. They can be used for food and pharmaceutical, cosmetic and chemical
products as well as for mineral oil products. Depending on the substance to be pumped and
the required performance level, different materials and motors are used. Each progressive
cavity pump can be operated with different motors.

Components

Progressive cavity pumps consist of the following freely configurable or interchangeable
modules:
 Motor connection
 Pump shaft
 Pump tube
 Rotor
 Rotor shaft (only with 3-A approval, replaces rotor and pump shaft)
 Stator
 Stator housing
 Seals/O-rings
 Mechanical seals
Due to the modular principle, the components can differ in size and design. In the following,
the differences between the gearbox version F 570 and the motor flange version F 580 are
illustrated in an example on the basis of an immersion depth of 1000 mm. Both variants are
also available in a version for horizontal use, which only differ in design of peripherals and a
clamp connection at the stator housing. The fixation in horizontal position is realised by
means of a pump trolley or console and is not considered in the following.
