Inquire with your pump model and stator specifications — our engineering team will assess compatibility and provide a detailed technical response.
Our brand provides professional overall technical solutions in fluid machinery and engineering. We specialize in industrial control and drive equipment, mechanical seals, and overseas field engineering solutions. Our ecosystem of specialized technologies and product brands empowers our clients with high-caliber technical guidance, commercial support, and integrated product solutions — including pumps, frequency converters, servo drives, PLC-HMI, industrial control cabinets, motors, mechanical seals and systems, couplings, gearboxes, and engineering solutions (overseas on-site 3D scanning reverse molding of pump replacement parts to your satisfaction, and on-site equipment debugging services by overseas dispatched engineers).
In a progressing cavity pump, the stator and rotor form the core sealing mechanism. The stator's internal double-helix elastomer liner creates stationary cavities; the rotor's single-helix profile rotates inside these cavities, creating a positive displacement action that moves fluid from suction to discharge.

Q1: Can I replace the stator liner without replacing the entire stator assembly?
A: Separately replacing the elastomer liner on an existing steel shell is generally not recommended because the bonding process requires specialized vulcanization equipment and the steel shell surface preparation is critical for adhesion. A complete stator assembly (shell + bonded liner) is the standard replacement unit. Rebonding on-site is not reliable.
Q2: How do I know when the stator needs to be replaced?
A: The primary indicator is a sustained decrease in flow rate at constant speed. If the pump flow has dropped 10–15% or more from the baseline when the stator was new, and the rotor is in good condition, the stator has worn beyond acceptable clearance. Some operators also monitor pump efficiency or power draw to detect the increase in internal slip caused by stator wear.
Q3: Can the stator and rotor be replaced independently?
A: Yes. The stator and rotor are separate components with independent wear rates. A stator typically lasts 2–4 times longer than a rotor because it is stationary. They can be replaced independently as each reaches its service life; however, many operators replace both at the same overhaul to minimize downtime frequency.
