Abstract
A rotary gas separator for use with a progressive cavity pump which includes a separation housing having an internal separation chamber with a bladed separator rotatably mounted therewithin for separating introduced fluid into a gas constituent and a liquid constituent. Coupling mechanisms are mounted on a first end of the bladed separator for connection to a rotor of a progressive cavity pump, and for permitting limited longitudinal movement and limited transverse movement between the bladed separator and the rotor to prevent bearing failure within the drive train of the pump.
