Abstract
A displacement machine for compressible media includes at least two shafts. Each of the shafts has a rotor which is configured as a profiled body with the profiles of the rotors engaging one another in the manner of gearwheels during rotation and running without contact relative to one another. Each of the shafts is driven by an electric motor. The angular positions of each shaft is determined by an associated synchro resolver. Each of the synchro resolvers has a rotor and emits an electronic signal to the electric motor of the shaft such that the motors are electronically synchronized. Each of the shafts further has a gearwheel, with the gearwheels engaging one another and having an angular clearance which is smaller than that of the profiled bodies. At least one of the gearwheels is directly connected to the rotor of the synchro resolver associated with its shaft and both gearwheels together are releasably connected as a unit to the shaft.
