  • Patent number: 5674060
    Abstract: A hydraulic gear machine, in particular an internal gear machine having two gear wheels which mesh with each other in a chamber of a multipart housing, a sealing plate arranged on the side of the two gear wheels axially between them and a housing part, and a pressure field which is present in the housing part on the high-pressure side, is open towards the sealing plate, and is adapted to be acted on by high pressure. The order to provide embodiments of the gear machine which differ in their direction of rotation with the use of many of the same parts, a second pressure field is present in the housing part and the first pressure field is present only on the one side and the second pressure field only on the other side of a center plane which is defined by the axes of rotation of the two gear wheels so that a piece of the housing part is still present between the two pressure fields.

  • Patent number: 4472123
    Abstract: In an internal gear pump comprising a ring gear and a pinion in mesh therewith to define a lunate cavity therebetween, a segmented part-lunate filler inserted in said cavity has supporting faces contacting a pin which extends axially through the cavity and is rotatable about its longitudinal axis. In operation, the resulting forces acting on the filler segments are transmitted to the pin by said supporting faces and produce a torque about the longitudinal pin axis.
