Abstract
A stator for a progressive cavity pump or motor includes a stator housing having a longitudinal axis. In addition, the stator includes a stator insert of a material moulded within the housing. The stator housing includes an outer tube having an inner surface. The stator housing also includes a plurality of framework elements disposed on the inner surface of the outer tube. Further, the stator housing includes at least one recess in the inner surface of the outer tube. The conjunction of the framework elements and the at least one recess define a plurality of chambers receiving insert material therein whereby the insert material is mechanically fixed axially, radially and torsionally within the outer tube.
