The invention concerns an element comprising an annular body (9) provided
with two series of pins (10, 12) projecting from at least one side of the
body (9), the pins (10) of a first series being engaged in grooves (7) of
the fixed volute (3) and the pins (12) of a second series being engaged
in grooves (8) of the mobile volute (4), to provide an orbital movement
of the mobile volute (4) relative to the fixed volute (3), the contact
surfaces of the pins (10, 12) of a common series with the walls of the
grooves of the corresponding volute being parallel and the contact
surfaces of the pins (10, 12) belonging to two series of pins being
perpendicular. The annular body (9) is made of a first metal with a
specific density and the pins are made of a second metal having a lower
density than that of the first metal.
