  • Patent number: 9945231
    Abstract: The invention specifies a hydraulic vane-type machine (1) having a stator (2) and having a rotor (3) which has multiple vanes (4), each of which vanes is radially displaceable in a guide (5) in the rotor (3), bears against an inner circumference (6) of the stator (2), and, together with the rotor (3), the stator (2) and in each case one side wall (7) at each axial end of the rotor (3), delimits working chambers whose volumes vary in the event of a rotation of the rotor (3) relative to the stator (2). It is sought to obtain a certain degree of freedom for the design of the inner circumference. For this purpose, it is provided that each vane (4) has, on its radially inner side, an abutment surface (17) which bears radially at the outside against a cam disk (15).

  • Patent number: 9279424
    Abstract: The invention concerns a vane cell machine with a stator and a rotor having radially displaceable vanes arranged in guides, said vanes bearing on an inside of the stator and bordering, together with the rotor, the stator and a side wall, work chambers at each axial end of the rotor. It is endeavored to provide a vane cell machine that has a good internal tightness, in which the wear is still kept small. For this purpose, in a radially internal area the side wall comprises an insert that is axially movable in the side wall and has a pressure application surface axially inside and axially outside.

  • Patent number: 6832903
    Abstract: A valve member includes an axially movable spool valve rotatably mounted in the valve member to cause the way that fluid is communicated between the inlet and outlet ports of the device and the volume chambers thereof. An outer surface of the spool has a configuration to react to fluid pressure to effect the timing between the gear set and the valving of valve member and that the timing therebetween will be adjusted when the spool valve is moved axially. A valve actuator comprising a spring loaded plunger controlled by fluid pressure at the inlet and outlet ports is in physical contact with one end of the valve spool.

  • Patent number: 6264567
    Abstract: The invention concerns a machine arrangement with a first machine having a first rotation connection, a second machine having a second rotation connection, and a shaft for transmission of a torque, the shaft being unrotatably connected with both rotation connections. In this connection it is desired to minimize the effects of alignment errors on mounting the two motors. For this purpose the shaft (5) has, at least in one end, an external toothing (6) engaging with an internal toothing (8, 9) of the machine at this end, said external toothing permitting a swivel movement of the shaft (5), the teeth (10) of said external toothing (6) having concavely extending tooth flanks (11, 12), whose axial ends (15, 16) are less curved than their area of the axial centre.

  • Patent number: 6203439
    Abstract: A hydraulic machine with an orbiting displacement element connected unrotatably with an output shaft via an intermediary shaft, the intermediary shaft having at least at one end an external toothing, which engages an internal toothing, which permits a swivel motion of the intermediary shaft.

  • Patent number: 5772419
    Abstract: A hydraulic machine with two displacement elements (2,3) rotatably movable relative to one another, namely, a gearwheel (2) and an annular gear (3) of which the number of teeth is one more than the number of teeth (N) of the gearwheel (2), in which machine the tooth form of a least one displacement element (2,3) is defined at least over sections by a trochoid-type curve T=f (RC, E, RT) as the function of a reference circle radius RC, an eccentricity E and a generating circle radius RT. In a machine of that kind, it is desirable for the efficiency and the running behaviour to be improved and for wear to be reduced. To that end, of the parameters (RC, E, RT) determining the function f, at least one parameter varies in the circumferential direction periodically with the period of a tooth pitch (Z).

  • Patent number: 5649815
    Abstract: A hydraulic machine is disclosed, with an annular gear with internal teeth and, eccentrically mounted in the annular gear, a gearwheel with external teeth which engage with the internal teeth, the internal teeth comprising one more tooth than the external teeth and the contour of the external teeth being formed by an envelope of a system of generating circles, the midpoints of which lie on a trochoid which, as a rolling circle rolls without slipping on a base circle, can be generated by the movement of a point lying on a radial ray of the rolling circle co-rotating with the rolling circle. A method of producing the contour of a rear wheel of such a machine is also disclosed. In such a machine it is desirable to realize a satisfactory inner seal and low Hertzian stresses. To that end, the spacing of the point from the midpoint of the rolling circle is larger than the radius of the rolling circle.
