  • Patent number: 8235680
    Abstract: A radial cylinder hydraulic motor having continuously variable displacement capabilities includes: oscillating hydraulic cylinders which are driven to oscillate through an eccentric crankpin formed on the motor shaft and carrying a radially movable ring adapted to be shifted along the radial direction of the crankpin by actuation of opposed counteracting hydraulic cylinders housed within the crankpin; a hydraulic control circuit for controlling and adjusting the positions of said counteracting hydraulic cylinders in a continuous manner; an electronic control circuit adapted to control the hydraulic control circuit and process signals from at least one position sensor arranged to detect the positions of said oscillating cylinders; a rotary joint for hydraulic conduits through which said counteracting hydraulic cylinders are controlled and adjusted.
