Claims
- 1. A hydraulic device including a housing with a rotor revolvingly borne in said housing and provided with working chambers which are subjected to a displacement member for enlarging and reducing said chambers for the reception and expulsion of a fluid and control means provided in said device for the control of flow of fluid and for the control of the movements of said displacement members,
- wherein said device includes a piston and a piston shoe, said piston forms a piston head and said piston shoe forms an inner face and an outer face,
- wherein said piston head forms a part cylindrical bearing face of a constant first radius around a second axis of normal direction relatively to a first axis longitudinally through said piston,
- wherein said inner face forms a hollow part-cylindrical face of a second radius substantially equal to said first radius, whereby said inner face may lay upon said bearing face and is able to pivot thereon,
- wherein said outer face of said piston shoe is able to slide along a respective guide face of a piston stroke guide,
- wherein said piston head forms retaining faces of third radii around said second axis,
- wherein retaining members are fastend to said piston shoe and include holding faces of fourth radii around said second axis substantially equal to said third radii, whereby said holding faces are able to slide along said retaining faces when said piston shoe pivots on said piston head,
- whereby said piston and piston shoe are fastened together by said retaining members with said retaining faces and said holding faces of said piston and retaining member,
- wherein said piston forms a cylindrical outer face around said first axis,
- wherein said piston head forms lateral extensions parallel to said second axis and extending beyond the outer diameter of said piston whereby said part cylindrical bearing face extends along the entirety of said piston head with its lateral extensions and thereby beyond the outer diameter of said piston,
- wherein said piston shoe extends laterally beyond said extensions of said piston head to form reception portions for the fastening of said retaining members thereon,
- wherein said retaining faces of said piston head are formed on said lateral extensions,
- whereby said retaining members are located laterally of said piston head and of said outer diameter of said piston,
- wherein passages are extended through said piston to meet passage means which extend through said piston shoe;
- wherein fluid pressure balancing pockets are provided in the radial outer face of said piston shoe and fluid pressure pockets are also provided in and through at least one face of the bearing bed whereon the piston shoe pivots on said piston while said passage and said passage means communicate from said cylinder to said fluid pressure pockets;
- wherein sealing lands surround and seal said fluid pressure pockets to form with said fluid pressure pockets hydrostatic bearings between the guide face of the piston stroke guide wherealong the radial outer face of the piston shoe slides and between the faces of the bearing bed for the pivotal movement of the piston shoe on the said bearing bed of said piston, and;
- wherein the areas of said hydrostatic bearings exceed the cross-sectional area of said piston,
- whereby said hydrostatic bearings are of such a large area that the sealing lands and guide portions of the pivot face and of the radial outer slide face of the piston shoe remain at all times loaded with a force per area which never exceeds the pressure per area in the fluid which flows through the cylinders of said device.
