According to the statistics collected by the operating personnel of power plants, the state of the cases and cores of TG stators, which for a long time operated in non-nominal modes (at a load of 70, 50, 30 % of the nominal) on TPP units, it was found that compared to the TGs that operated only in nominal modes, the value of vibration is higher.
In addition, the pump's installation footprint has been reduced for both conventional stators and the newer iFD-Stator.

When the all-metal screw pump works, the metal rotor carries out the eccentric planetary motion in the stator cavity, Thus, compared with the rubber screw pumps, in order to meet the requirements of rotational movement of the rotors in the stator cavity, clearance fit must be used for stators and rotors of all-metal screw pumps.
Since there are 6 vertically magnetized magnets on the stators and 2 vertically magnetized magnets on the mover, thus there are 6 x 2 pairs of magnets with parallel magnetization.
