  • Patent number: 10066484
    Abstract: A piston motor includes a bush in the form of a curved plate held in sliding contact with a back surface of a tiltable swash plate, a supply/discharge passage formed on the casing including a swash plate port formed on the swash plate and open on the back surface of the swash plate and a bush port penetrating through the bush and provided from a piston to the swash plate, and an elastic ring interposed between the casing and the bush and surrounding an opening end of the bush port.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 6, 2014
    Date of Patent: September 4, 2018
    Assignee: KYB Corporation
    Inventors: Hiroki Kato, Takeru Hosokawa
  • Patent number: 9856851
    Abstract: An opposed swash plate type fluid pressure rotating machine in which a first piston and a second piston projecting from opposite ends of a cylinder block reciprocate in a cylinder, respectively following a first swash plate and a second swash plate includes a center spring for biasing the cylinder block toward the second swash plate. A housing hole (biasing force receiving part) for receiving a biasing force of the center spring is formed on one end part of the cylinder block. The tip of a second neck (reaction force receiving part) for receiving a reaction force from the second swash plate is formed on the other end part of the cylinder block. The cylinder block is biased only toward the second swash plate by the center spring.

  • Patent number: 9464629
    Abstract: A servo regulator that causes a servo piston to move on the basis of working fluid pressure in two pressure chambers includes: a sleeve that is inserted into an insertion hole formed in a case and has a supply port capable of supplying a working fluid from a fluid pressure source to one of the pressure chambers; a spool valve disposed in the sleeve so as to be biased by a biasing member; and a solenoid that is attached to the case in order to drive the spool valve via a plunger. The sleeve includes a pressure receiving portion on which a fluid pressure of the working fluid from the fluid pressure source is exerted, and is pressed against an end surface of the solenoid by a biasing force acting on the pressure receiving portion.

  • Publication number: 20150240636
    Abstract: An opposed swash plate type fluid pressure rotating machine in which a first piston and a second piston projecting from opposite ends of a rotary cylinder block reciprocate in a cylinder, respectively following a first swash plate and a second swash plate includes a first tilt bearing for tiltably supporting the first swash plate, a first tilt driving piston for tilting the first swash plate in a direction intersecting with an axis of rotation of the cylinder block, a second tilt bearing for tiltably supporting the second swash plate, and a second tilt driving piston for tilting the second swash plate in a direction intersecting with the axis of rotation of the cylinder block.
