  • Publication number: 20210324852
    Abstract: The gear pump may have a casing, a main shaft and rotating means connected to one end of the main shaft and configured to rotate the main shaft. Housed by the casing, a toothed wheel and at least one other toothed element are intermeshed with the toothed wheel. The other end of the main shaft is connected to one of the toothed wheel and the casing. Rotating the main shaft relative to the rotating means rotates the toothed wheel and the at least one other toothed element relative to the casing, thereby generating the flow. The other one of the casing and the toothed wheel is configured to be rotated around an axis defined by the main shaft for varying a flow rate of the generated flow.

  • Publication number: 20210317830
    Abstract: Provided is a hydraulic orbital machine and a method of adjusting a hydraulic orbital machine comprising a first and a second lobed disk which rotate eccentrically about a rotation axis and within respective rotors; the machine is characterized by the fact that it has adjustment means designed to mutually angularly offset the angles at which, when the machine is at a standstill, the chambers defined between the lobed disks and the stator have minimum volume.

  • Patent number: 11092174
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a piston for hydraulic machines with axial positions, comprising a head connected to a stem which is extended along a longitudinal axis and forms a bottom arranged at the opposite end with respect to said head. The piston is further provided with at least one intake duct passing within it and having a first and a second end, which are mutually opposite, open respectively at the head and at the bottom. The distinctive aspect of the invention is that the piston also comprises at least one distribution duct passing within it, which has a first and a second end, which are mutually opposite, the first end of which is in fluid communication with the intake duct and the second end of which is open at the head, the piston being provided monolithically.

  • Publication number: 20210190095
    Abstract: Hydraulic systems and methods comprising a source of hydraulic pressure; a hydraulic load; and an energy recovery circuit. The source of hydraulic pressure is fluidly connected to the hydraulic load through a first hydraulic channel with an orifice. The energy recovery circuit includes a recovery channel which is fluidly connected at its first end to the orifice on the side of it which is connected to the source of hydraulic pressure, and which is fluidly connected at its second end to a hydraulic motor.

  • Publication number: 20210156369
    Abstract: A piston hydraulic device comprises a cylinder block having a plurality of cylinder assemblies and is rotatable about a first rotation axis. Each cylinder assembly comprises a cylinder and a piston. A port plate has a first port and a second port that are angularly spaced relative to the first rotation axis. A plurality of first conduits connect respective cylinders alternately to the first port or the second port. At least one second conduit is connected to a fluid reservoir. At least one directional control valve is positioned in the first conduit and fluidly connects to the second conduit. The at least one directional control valve connects the cylinder to the port plate in a first position and to the fluid reservoir in a second position. A controller is operatively associated with the directional control valve for switching between the first and the second positions.

  • Publication number: 20210108623
    Abstract: A bent-axis axial-piston hydraulic machine may have a cylinder block being movable circumferentially about a first rotation axis. The machine may also have a transmission shaft which is functionally associated with the cylinder block and which can rotate about a transmission axis incident on the rotation axis. The machine may also have a distributor, and a device for angular offsetting which is associated with the distributor to rotate the distributor to cause a variation of effective cubic capacity while a geometric cubic capacity of the machine remains constant. The corresponding method for adjusting the capacity of a bent-axis axial piston hydraulic machine is also disclosed.
