Abstract
A hydraulic radial piston machine for stepplessly displaceable piston stroke has a plurality of pistons which are formed as roller bodies and abut linearly with their circular spherical regions against a control curve which is formed on a control ring displaceable relative to a cylinder body of the machine, wherein the control curve is formed as a symmetrical spatial curve such that the curve regions which form both the inner dead point for the pistons and the outer dead point for the pistons change in the displacement direction of the control ring.
Claims9
A hydraulic radial piston machine with steplessly adjustable piston stroke, comprising a control pin;
- a rotatable cylinder body arranged concentrically to said control pin and having a plurality of openings;
- a plurality of pistons which are formed as rolling bodies and distributed symmetrically over a periphery of said cylinder body in said openings;
- and means forming a control curve which is displaceable relative to said cylinder body and over which said pistons roll, said pistons having a circular cylindrical region which linearly abut against said control curve, said pistons being arranged in said cylinder body tiltably with their axes of rotation in a relatively small angular region;
- and a control ring axis-parallel with and displaceable relative to said cylinder body, said control curve being formed on said control ring as a symmetrical spatial curve such that said pistons are tilted by said curve within said openings, and the curve regions which form both an inner dead point for said pistons and an outer dead point for said pistons change in direction of displacement of said control ring.
