Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Vane pump (10) mechanical losses are reduced by removing vane friction losses and replacing them with lower magnitude journal bearing fluid film viscous drag losses. A freely rotating cam ring (70) is supported by a journal bearing (80). A relatively low sliding velocity is imposed between the cam ring and the vanes (26). This permits the use of less expensive and less brittle materials in the pump by allowing the pump to operate at much higher speeds without concern for exceeding vane tip velocity limits.

Why it's free to use
- Filed March 27, 2002 and granted March 15, 2011. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended March 27, 2022.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by March 27, 2024.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
