<p>A screw pump (20) with field refurbishment provisions has screws (40), a base (26), and shafts (50) for the screws (40). The screws (40) have helical flights that intermesh during rotation, and extend between inner and outer ends (44 and 42). The shafts (50) extend between inner and outer ends (68 and 74), and are cantilevered from the base (26) from about the inner end (68) thereof. Each screw (40) is formed with a hollow core (80) for receiving its shaft (50) such that the screw (40) slips onto the respective shaft (50) therefor over the outer end (74) of its shaft (50). The screw pump further includes a keyless locking mechanism (56, 58, 96, or 98) intermediate each shaft (50) and screw (40), which is operative to rotationally lock the shaft (50) and screw (40) together without a key or keyway.</p> |
