  • 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: 6772863
    Abstract: A brake appliance for gerotor motors has a disc assembly brake comprising interacting discs that are subjected to opposing forces from pressurized fluid in one direction to disengage the discs, and from primary and secondary spring forces in the other direction to engage the discs.

  • 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. The external toothing has teeth with concavely shaped tooth sides having a smaller curvature at the axial ends than in the area of the axial center.

  • Patent number: 6158993
    Abstract: The invention concerns a hydraulic motor (1) having at least one gearwheel set section (2), a supply section (3) and a front section (4) on which an output arrangement (15) can be fixed, the sections (2 to 4) being connected with each other in the axial direction by fixing bolts (11).It is desired to simplify the production and the service during operation for such a motor.For this purpose several bores (17) are provided, which penetrate the motor (1,) from one axial end (21) to the other, in which connection bolts (6) are arranged, which are provided with an engagement area (18) on the side of the front section (4).

  • Patent number: 5215453
    Abstract: A gear wheel assembly of the type having an externally toothed gear wheel and an internally toothed ring wheel with the gear wheel having one less tooth than the ring wheel and the wheels having eccentrically spaced axes with said gear wheel being rotatable about the gear wheel axis which in turn is orbitable about the ring wheel axis. Each tooth of the gear wheel has a flank on each side of the tip thereof with each said flank having a shallow recess formed thereon. Each such recess has three successive curved sections with each such recess starting and ending with the same tangent as the respective adjacent part of the associated flank. With this gear construction an automatic braking action is generated in the absence of hydraulic pressure.
