Abstract
A device, system, and process for turning hydraulic pressure into rotational force and for turning rotational motion into hydraulic pressure. An example of the device/system for performing the process comprises actuators, rotationally positioned between two thrust plates that are fixed in a housing at an angle to a rotational axis and in parallel to each other.
Claims13
A process of turning a rotor, comprising:
- applying hydraulic pressure to a first side of a first piston of a first actuator that is connected in a fixed position with the rotor such that when the first actuator rotates around an axis of the rotor, the rotor turns on the axis of the rotor, wherein the applying hydraulic pressure to the first side of the first piston makes the first actuator apply pressure to a first plate, the first plate having a center that is co-axial with the axis of the rotor, and the first plate being fixed at an angle to an axis of the first actuator;
- and
- applying hydraulic pressure to a second side of the first piston making the first actuator apply pressure to a second plate, the second plate being fixed at the angle to the axis of the first actuator;
- wherein the applying hydraulic pressure to the first side of the first piston of the first actuator comprises supplying fluid from a first source that is independent from a second source for the applying hydraulic pressure to the second side of the first piston.

A system for turning a rotor, the system comprising:
- means for applying hydraulic pressure to a first side of a first piston of a first actuator that is connected in a fixed position with the rotor such that when the first actuator rotates around an axis of the rotor, the rotor turns on the axis of the rotor, wherein the applying hydraulic pressure to the first side of the first piston makes the first actuator apply pressure to a first plate, the first plate having a center that is co-axial with the axis of the rotor, and the first plate being fixed at an angle to an axis of the first actuator;
- means for applying hydraulic pressure to a second side of the first piston making the first actuator apply pressure to a second plate, the second plate being fixed at the angle to the axis of the first actuator;
- and
- means for exhausting the fluid from the first side of the first piston during the applying pressure to the second side of the first piston.

A system for turning a rotor, comprising:
- an actuator;
- a first plate having a center that is co-axial with an axis of the rotor and fixed at an angle to an axis of the actuator;
- a piston of the actuator that is connected in a fixed position with the rotor such that when the actuator rotates around the axis of the rotor, the rotor turns on the axis of the rotor, wherein a first side of the piston is configured to receive fluid pressure thereby making the actuator apply pressure to the first plate;
- and
- a second plate fixed at the angle to the axis of the actuator, wherein a second side of the piston is configured to receive fluid pressure thereby making the actuator apply pressure to the second plate;
- and
- a first source of fluid for supply to the first side of the piston that is independent from a second source of fluid for supply to the second side of the piston.
