Abstract
A plurality of guide shafts which are disposed parallel to an input/output shaft (a first input/output shaft, a second input/output shaft) are assembled in a case body which holds a cylinder in which first and second piston sets, move reciprocally. A first guide bearing, which abuts both side surfaces of a first piston body and receives only lateral pressure generated by the reciprocal movement, and a second guide bearing, which abuts both side surfaces of a second piston body and receives only lateral pressure generated by the reciprocal movement, are assembled coaxially and separated in an axial direction on each guide shaft.
Claims4
A rotary cylinder device converting rotation of an input/output shaft, which is rotatably supported by a case body, into reciprocal movement of a plurality of piston sets, which are perpendicularly arranged with respect to an eccentric cam, according to the principle of hypocycloid,
- wherein a plurality of guide shafts, which are disposed parallel to the input/output shaft, are assembled in the case body, which accommodates a piston unit having first and second piston sets assembled to the eccentric cam and positioned in an axial direction, and
- wherein a first guide bearing, which abuts both side surfaces of a first piston body and receives only lateral pressure generated by the reciprocal movement, and a second guide bearing, which abuts both side surfaces of a second piston body and receives only lateral pressure generated by the reciprocal movement, are assembled coaxially and separated in the axial direction on each of the guide shafts.
