A rotor and/or stator dampening system includes a stator and/or rotor with a liner selected of one or more materials to achieve a desired dampening effect. In one implementation, a progressive cavity motor or pump includes a stator with an internal axial bore therethrough. The stator has a liner along an axial length thereof with an inwardly facing surface defining the internal axial bore therethrough. The liner has a plurality of axial sections with at least two of the plurality of axial sections being constructed of different materials. A compression resistant mechanism, such as a spring or spring-like device, is disposed within at least one of the axial sections of the liner. The progressive cavity motor or pump also includes a rotor that is disposed and is rotatable within the internal axial bore of the stator to form a moving chamber between the rotor and the stator.

Progressive cavity motor dampening system

A stator and a method of manufacturing at least a portion of a progressive cavity motor or pump include disposing a cylindrical shell within a cylindrical housing, disposing a stator mold within the cylindrical shell, disposing an elastomeric material between the stator mold and the cylindrical shell, removing the stator mold from within the elastomeric material, thereby forming an elastomeric material layer having a stator profile within the cylindrical shell, and removing the cylindrical shell from within the cylindrical housing, thereby forming a cartridge having the elastomeric material layer disposed within the cylindrical shell.
