Abstract: A rotary fluid pressure device (11) is disclosed of the type having a fluid displacement means (17), an inlet port (57), an outlet port (61) and a valve means (55) which cooperates with a housing (21;101;201) to define a main flow path communicating from the inlet to the volume chambers of the mechanism (17) and then to the outlet. The device includes an arrangement such as an orifice (89) or shuttle valve (111) having its inlet in communication with the main flow path downstream of the contracting volume chambers (29). The motor includes a lubricant flow path (81,83; 107,109; 207) which provides lubricant to the bearings and shaft splines. The orifice (89) or shuttle valve (111) provides a generally constant flow of lubricant despite variations in the motor load or motor speed.
