Innovative Bearings and Valves

This technology consists of the following eight (8) technological innovations.

  1. Non-return Valve-like Device, consisting of a saddle and a sluice made of a metal alloy that allows for its compression. The innovative valve has the following characteristics:
    • Increased service life by more than 10 times;
    • Improved valve hermetic seal, with consequent higher pump output;
    • Improved choking of water polluted by solid elements.
  2. Innovative Multi-Purpose Roller Carriage for conveyor belts, which can be assembled without the requirement for any change in conveyors with either flexible or rigid stands. The innovation has the following characteristics:
    • Increased service life;
    • Improved output of conveyors with rotations;
    • Unification of roller-bearing elements for both straight and turning conveyors;
    • Cost reduction for roller replacement during repair work;
    • Reducing precision requirements for production and assemblage of bearing mount assemblies.
  3. Mechanical Diode, in the form of a specially designed clutch with self-braking of reverse motion. The clutch can be applied in lifting devices, as well as in general and road construction equipment, and can replace conventional worm gears with low efficiency of direct motion. The innovation has the following advantages:
    • No energy supply requirement for braking;
    • An independent assembly isolated from the drive gear vibration, which provides for reliable self-braking;
    • Relative small weight.
  4. Self-Braking Reducer based on Intermediate Rolling Elements, consisting of a self-braking clutch and a ball gear. The innovation has the following advantages:
    1. Relative small weight;
    2. Enhanced strength;
    3. High interlocking coefficient, providing for larger overload capacity.
  5. Self-Braking Hydraulic Device which can be incorporated in the gear of a wide range of lifting mechanisms without the requirement for an additional brake. The invention combines the properties of both axial-piston and radial-piston hydraulic devices, with the following advantages:
    • Relative small weight;
    • Increased working capacity with a smaller number of cylinders;
    • Decreased working pressure at the same torsion torque;
    • Increased torsion torque at constant pressure.
    • Enhanced reliability
  6. Multiple Gearing, which can be applied in tool building or transport machine engineering. The innovative gearing reduces overall consumption, particularly in transport machines operating at lower gears.
  7. Rotation Combustion Engine, which can be applied in transport engineering, or as a compressor or hydraulic device. The innovation consists of three elements, 2 of which are rotating (a piston and a cylinder having different rotation axes), and a non-rotational part. The non-rotational element can be replaced by either rotational ones and vice versa depending on the switching mode. The innovation has the following advantages:
    • All parts have rotational freedom. There are no connecting rods, which reduce efficiency at high rpm;
    • Ring packing of pumping chambers is a simple and low-cost solution to the problem of angular multiplexing of Wankel's rotary engine;
    • The innovation allows for convertibility of the compressor into a hydraulic engine;
    • The piston doesn't exert any pressure on the cylinder walls;
    • While having a higher efficiency, the size of the compressor is 5-10 times smaller than conventional compressors;
    • With a piston diameter of 100mm and 70mm of travel, the compressor develops up to 30 KW of power;
  8. Damper Bearing, consisting of a conventional frictionless bearing, with some parts made of a hyper-elastic material based on a titanium nickel alloy. The innovative device can be used in synchronous couplings, ball-screw gears, ball and roller friction gears and gears with periodical races. The innovation has the following advantages:
    • Noise reduction;
    • Longer service life under any operating condition, including high and long term load impact;
    • Simplified assembly.
