Abstract: A plurality of guide shafts which are disposed parallel to an input/output shaft (a first input/output shaft, a second input/output shaft) are assembled in a case body which holds a cylinder in which first and second piston sets, move reciprocally. A first guide bearing, which abuts both side surfaces of a first piston body and receives only lateral pressure generated by the reciprocal movement, and a second guide bearing, which abuts both side surfaces of a second piston body and receives only lateral pressure generated by the reciprocal movement, are assembled coaxially and separated in an axial direction on each guide shaft.

Abstract: In the rotary type cylinder device, a first crank shaft is revolved around a shaft and a composite piston assembly is revolved around the first crank shaft in a state where first rotational mass balance relating to first and second piston units around second virtual crank shafts, second rotational mass balance relating to the composite piston assembly around the first crank shaft and third rotational mass balance relating to the first crank shaft and the composite piston assembly around the shaft are uniformly produced by only first and second balance weights which are attached to end parts of the first crank shaft. Therefore, first and second piston units, which are attached to the second cylindrical sections, are linearly reciprocally moved in radial directions of a circular orbit of second virtual crank shafts, which has radius of 2 r, with relatively revolving around the shaft.

Abstract: A fluid rotary machine with a decreased footprint and a reduction in the number of parts. The fluid rotary machine has four heads wherein double-headed pistons are disposed inside cylinders in a crisscross arrangement. The rotational balance between rotational parts including the double-headed pistons is achieved only by first and second balance weights which are inserted and incorporated into both ends of a crank shaft coupled eccentrically to a shaft. The shaft is rotated for the double-headed pistons to linearly reciprocate in the cylinders. The fluid rotary machine has rotary valves for switching between the suction and discharge operations of the fluid for each cylinder chamber. The rotary valves are incorporated into a case to be coaxial and integrally rotatable with the shaft.

Abstract: Disclosed is a small rotary cylinder device wherein friction loss is reduced and energy is conserved by reducing effects of a reaction force applied from cylinders to pistons, which is incorporated in a piston composite body and which linearly reciprocates, the piston composite body being eccentrically connected to a first crank shaft rotating about a shaft. Guide bearings (1c) guide linear reciprocation of first and second piston assemblies (7, 8) attached to second tube bodies (6b), which are caused by rotating a first crank shaft (5) about a shaft (4) and rotating a piston composite body (P) about the first crank shaft (5), in the radial direction of a rolling circle of second imaginary crank shafts (14a, 14b), which has a radius 2r and which is centered at the shaft (4).

Abstract: An inexpensive, productivity-enhanced single-phase AC synchronous motor in which stabilized synchronous pull-in can be carried out by suppressing generation of counter torque during a starting operation. Starting operation is performed while the energizing range of motor current is suppressed such that the energizing direction of motor current waveform lagging in a phase behind the output waveform from a detection sensor (17) is switched at at least the zero cross point of the output waveform from the sensor when the number of revolutions of a permanent magnet rotor (1) reaches a predetermined number of revolutions in the vicinity of the synchronous number of revolutions.
