Abstract
A gerotor device includes a valving plate, a balancing plate structure, and a rotor positioned between the valving plate and the balancing plate structure. High pressure fluid flowing from the valving plate toward the rotor pushes the rotor toward the balancing plate structure. The balancing plate structure includes a balancing plate and a second plate. A cavity is defined between the balancing plate and the second plate. The balancing plate includes a fluid passage having a check valve and fluid passes through the fluid passage for pressuring the cavity. The balancing plate includes first and second relief holes extending through the balancing plate connected with the cavity.
