The present invention relates to a rotary engine comprising a stator, a first rotor rotatably mounted on the stator about a rotational axis of the first rotor, and a second rotor rotatably mounted on the stator about a rotational axis of the second rotor parallel to the rotational axis of the first rotor such that the second rotor is eccentrically mounted to and surrounding the first rotor, wherein the first rotor comprises a first cylinder with a piston chamber limited by a translationally displaceable first piston with a first rod fixed to an outer side of the second rotor on an end of the first rod outwardly projecting from the first cylinder towards the outer side of the second rotor and fixed to the first piston on the other end of the first rod, wherein the first rotor further comprises at least one second cylinder, each of the at least one second cylinder comprising a piston chamber limited by a translationally displaceable second piston with a second rod coupled to an outer side of the second rotor on an end of the corresponding second rod outwardly projecting from the respective second cylinder towards the outer side of the second rotor and fixed to the corresponding second piston on the other end of the corresponding second rod, and wherein the end of each second rod coupled to the outer side of the second rotor is supported such that the end is rotationally displaceable along a limited curved guide path within the second rotor.

A housing of an axial piston device is provided with a drain port for discharging the retained oil to the outside and a supply oil passage for guiding lubricating oil, which has been supplied from an oil source, toward a first hydraulic axial piston member. The drain port is arranged so as to bring about such a retained-oil level that a second hydraulic axial piston member, which is disposed below the first hydraulic axial piston member, is partially or entirely immersed in the retained oil while the first hydraulic axial piston member is not immersed in the retained oil.

A drive device incorporating a hydraulic pump having a swash plate. At least two structural ribs and skirting ribs are located on and extend along the length of the swash plate. A plurality of thrust ribs may be formed on an inner housing surface and adjacent to respective contact surfaces on the swash plate, the thrust ribs being located so that at least one, but fewer than all, of the ribs can be in contact with its respective contact surface on the swash plate at a time, permitting rotation while limiting axial movement of the swash plate. A trunnion shaft includes a free end disposed so as to be accessible from outside the housing through a bore formed therein, and a control arm having a shaft portion extends into and supports the distal free end of the trunnion shaft within the bore.

A rotational combustion engine that generates force from the reciprocal motion and centripetal motion of one or more pistons that is then converted into rotational motion of a first cam and second cam wherein the cams are separated by a 2-3 degree horizontal offset and an angle of 60 degrees as well as camshaft assembly and driving shaft to provide power to an entity such as an automobile.

A cylinder block including plurality of piston chambers formed at intervals in circumferential direction; plurality of pistons fitted in respective piston chambers movable in expanding and contracting directions to reciprocate in the expanding and contracting directions; a valve plate in contact with the cylinder block rear end surface and including first and second ports communicating with piston chambers. A portion of each ports is close to a top dead center switching land formed between first and second ports as a portion having a narrow opening width in a rotation radial direction of the cylinder block. An auxiliary port is formed at the valve plate switching land. Auxiliary port pressure is maintained lower than pressure of a side port that is the first or second port. When the piston chamber lacks communication with the side port (first or second port), the piston chamber and auxiliary port communicate with each other.

An inclined-axis axial piston machine includes a housing, a drive shaft and a cylinder barrel. The drive shaft is mounted in the housing so as to be rotatable with respect to a first axis of rotation and is integral with a flange. Each piston is coupled to the flange via a ball joint. A multiplicity of counting perforations are arranged in a periodically distributed and continuous manner over an outer circumferential surface of the flange. The housing accommodates a sensor arranged opposite the counting perforations such that rotation of the drive shaft causes a signal change at the sensor. Each counting perforation is formed integrally from the flange, in the form of a recess having a single continuous perimeter. A side wall of the recess, starting from the perimeter, extends uninterruptedly, without sharp bends or offsets, over the entire circumference of the perimeter.

A motor-hydraulic machine unit includes an electric motor, a hydraulic machine, and a connection body that has a planar connection surface which delimits first and second working connections. The first and second working connections are each in fluid exchange connection with the hydraulic machine via an assigned first fluid duct in the connection body. The electric motor and the hydraulic machine have a common axis of rotation which is arranged substantially parallel to the connection surface. The hydraulic machine and the electric motor are arranged on opposite sides of the connection body in the direction of the axis of rotation. The connection body is traversed by a drive aperture in the direction of the axis of rotation. The electric motor and the hydraulic machine are in rotary drive connection in a region of the drive aperture.
