BRAKE MECHANISM FOR A RADIAL PISTON UNIT
20240328381 · 2024-10-03 ·

A hydrostatic radial piston unit of the cam-lobe type of construction including a non-rotary, stationary casing. The stationary casing includes a through hole defining a rotational axis of the hydrostatic radial piston unit. A rotary casing is mounted rotary to the non-rotary, stationary casing in an axial overlapping area. A park brake mechanism includes at least two brake discs arranged adjoined in the overlapping area. An end cover closes the non-rotary casing on a rear end side of the hydrostatic radial piston unit facing away from the rotary casing. The end cover pre-tensions a disc spring against a disc-shaped brake piston both located in the rear end portion of the stationary casing to generate an axially oriented spring force. The force can be forwarded by the brake piston to at least one brake pin arranged in an axially oriented bore in the stationary casing, in order to press the brake discs against each other when the brake piston on the face opposite to the disc spring is not forced to move towards the end cover.

BRAKING SYSTEM FOR A HYDRAULIC MACHINE

A hydraulic machine (1) comprising first and second brake elements (92, 93), a spring washer (65) tending to urge the first and second brake elements (92, 93) in a braking direction, and a brake release piston (61) configured to act on the spring washer (65) in a direction opposing the braking direction, the hydraulic machine being characterized in that the brake release piston (61) comprises a primary brake release piston (61a) associated with a primary brake release chamber (62a), and a secondary brake release piston (61b) associated with a secondary brake release chamber (62b), said primary and secondary chambers (62a, 62b) extending radially around the shaft (2) in such a manner that projections of the primary brake release chamber (62a) and of the secondary brake release chamber (62b) onto a plane perpendicular to a longitudinal axis (X-X) defined by the axis of rotation of the hydraulic machine (1) are superposed, at least in part.

Flushing circuit for a hydraulic machine

A hydraulic machine including an improved sweep circuit, adapted to form a primary sweep stream circulating from an inlet orifice successfully in a proximal portion, in a middle portion and in a distal portion of the hydraulic machine, then in the middle portion and in the proximal portion up to an outlet orifice.

Radial Piston Machine having Braking Means Secured against Twisting

A radial piston machine includes a housing, rotor, first braking member, and brake ring with a second braking member. The rotor is mounted in the housing to be rotatable relative to an axis of rotation, and has an end face facing in a direction of the axis of rotation. The first braking member is positioned on the end face. The housing has a body defining a ring-shaped extension relative to the axis of rotation. The brake ring is positioned to surround the extension and is configured to be movable in the direction of the axis of rotation so as to bring the second braking member into braking engagement with the first braking member. The brake ring is further configured to positively engage with an inner radial side of the extension to limit a twisting between the housing and brake ring.

Radial piston hydraulic motor
09556735 · 2017-01-31 · ·

The invention relates to a radial piston hydraulic motor. The radial piston hydraulic motor comprises a cam ring provided, with a wave-shaped inner surface and radial cylinders provided in the inner part inside the cam ring and pistons that move therein as well as rollers coupled to the pistons so as to follow the inner surface of the cam ring. By the effect of the working pressure of hydraulic oil conveyed to the cylinders, the rollers that are pressed against the inner surface of the cam ring provide a rotating movement of the cam ring and the inner part relative to each other. The hydraulic motor is provided with disengaging members disengaging the rollers coupled to the pistons from contact to the inner surface of the cam ring when the working pressure stops acting in the cylinders for bringing the hydraulic motor into freewheeling. The hydraulic motor is provided with a control coupling which, when the prevailing pressure of hydraulic oil in the working pressure line that leads to the cylinders drops below a specific level, automatically disengages the cylinders from the working pressure line and couples the hydraulic motor into freewheeling.
