Abstract: A fluid-powered rotary table formed of a base and a rotary housing which sealingly cooperates therewith along a planar surface. A toroid-shaped annular cavity is formed between the base and the rotary housing which are rotatable relative to one another along a central axis perpendicular to the plane and the toroid-shaped annular cavity. The annular cavity is divided into two fluid-tight annular segments by a stationery block affixed to the base and projecting into the cavity and a rotary block affixed to the rotary housing and projecting into said cavity. By admitting or removing fluid from each of the annular cavity segments the rotary housing may be moved relative to the base.

Abstract: A fluid-powered lift unit having a plurality of pistonrods attached to a piston which translates axially but within a tube. The tube is provided with an end cap and a base which in conjunction with the piston defined two fluid-tight regions. The pistonrods extend from the piston and sealingly extend through the end cap thereby preventing piston rotation and causing the lift unit to be rigid with the piston in the extended or contracted position.
