  This contribution studies the impact of the rotor-stator interaction in a
single-stage progressing cavity pump on the flow rate and pressure.
Specifically, we investigate the effect of the rotor movement on the sealings
formed with deformable stators for various speeds and pressures. Sealings are
reconstructed with the help of a geometric 3D model. We analyze the tangential
and radial deviation of the rotor from its reference path and show that the
radial deviation affects the flow rate, whereas the tangential deviation
affects the pressure dynamics. The conjectures are confirmed with a laboratory
test setup.
