  • Patent number: 8720601
    Abstract: Pressurized air pick device with variable control that comprises a cylinder and piston assembly for actuating a picking member, and a distribution portion with variable control of the pressurized air to said cylinder and piston assembly, the distribution portion including an upper body, a lower ring and a movable fluid-distribution slider capable of sliding between the body and the ring, characterized in that the distribution portion is housed in the cylinder of the cylinder and piston assembly at the upper portion thereof and coaxially therewith, the variable control for the fluid is housed in the head of the cylinder closing the upper portion of the cylinder connected to a fluid-supply section, and said upper portion of the cylinder includes two channels for conveying pressurized air in tight communication with the distribution portion through the radial channels thereof.

  • Patent number: 4561831
    Abstract: A rotary hydraulic device of the displacement pump type having coaxial rotor and stator and vanes axially slidable in the rotor, the stator comprising at least one bottom surface formed with a variable number of deformations having rectilinear zones suitable for the operation on the recesses by the vanes. The recesses are made in movable elements of the stator such that the depth of the recesses can be made variable thus providing a device of variable capacity. The device is applicable to brakes and dampeners, as well as to engines and pumps.

  • Patent number: 4492541
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rotary electrohydraulic device of the volumetrical pump type having stator and rotor as well as vanes axially slidable in said rotor. According to the invention, the intermediary space between the rotor and the stator has an axial longitudinal circulary variable interval partly defined by a continuous stator bottom surface of a constant width, said slidable vanes coming to bear constantly and totally on said continuous bottom surface, which is single for a considered set of said vanes. The device according to the invention is mainly applicable as a brake or slackening means but can also work as a motor and a pump.

  • Patent number: 4331223
    Abstract: An electrohydraulic rotary brake comprises an inner core, at least one energizing winding, a cylindrical amagnetic insert and an annular part outside the core and the insert. A cylindrical bore is excentric with respect to the cylindrical peripheral surface of the insert, recesses being provided with magnetizable sliding vanes and a brake fluid. On a rotary shaft, are mounted lateral flanges in fluid-tight manner, the inner core being fast to the rotary shaft and to the insert, all three being arranged so as to constitute a rotor for the brake. The annular part outside the core and the insert constitutes an annular stator to which the lateral flanges are fixed and with the bore excentric with respect to the peripheral surface of the insert constituting the outer part of the rotor.
