Radial piston device with reduced pressure drop
A radial piston device includes a housing, a pintle attached to the housing and having a pintle shaft, a rotor rotatably mounted on the pintle shaft and having cylinders, pistons displaceably received in the cylinders, and a drive shaft coupled to the rotor and rotatably supported within the housing. The radial piston device includes mechanisms for reducing a pressure loss of hydraulic fluid flowing into the pintle shaft.
