Quimby Screw Pumps use closely matched screws which mesh to form pockets
of fluid. Each shaft has a left-hand screw and a right-hand screw, for
hydraulic pressure balance. |
|
On the left is a side view. The animation on the right is a top (or bottom)
view. The inlet is at each end and the outlet is in the middle. The two
shafts are geared together and revolve at the same rate, up to about 1750
RPM. |
|
Quimby Screws often pump oil, which lubricates the meshing gears. They
have no valves or small parts to wear out or break, and the stuffing boxes
are in the low pressure part of the pump where they are less prone to wear. |
A Quimby Screw can pump 4,000 gallons per minute at 1,000 P.S.I.
