PORT PLATE FOR INTEGRATED DRIVE GENERATOR
A port plate for use in an integrated drive generator has a body defining a semi-cylindrical charge port communicating with two circumferentially smaller charge port portions. A diametrically opposed working pressure port has three smaller working pressure ports. A center plane is defined extending through a center axis of a bore within the body and equidistance between circumferential ends of the charge port and the working fluid port. A first angle is defined between the plane and a circumferential end of the smaller charge port. The first angle is between 15 and 25 degrees. An integrated drive generator and a method are also disclosed.
CAM LINER FOR INTEGRATED DRIVE GENERATOR
A cam liner for use in an integrated drive generator has a cam liner body extending between a first end spaced from the second end by a first distance. The body is generally cylindrical. An outer diameter of the cam liner defines a second distance. A ratio of the first distance to the second distance is between 0.90 and 1.00. An integrated drive generator and a method are also disclosed.
