Abstract
An adjustable rotor and/or a radial piston machine which may utilize an adjustable rotor. The rotor has a primary eccentric rotatable around an axis and a secondary eccentric adjustable in position relative to the primary eccentric. The radial piston machine includes a plurality of piston cartridges arranged radially around the axis and both high pressure and low pressure fluid distribution systems. Multiple units may be axially coupled. A single unit may handle a variety of fluids in various combinations.
Claims8
An adjustable rotor mechanism supported around an axis with two eccentric sub-mechanisms comprising:
- A. a primary eccentric moveable with respect to said axis and having an outer surface,
- B. a secondary eccentric moveable with respect to said axis and with respect to said primary eccentric and having an inner surface, and
- C. said outer surface of said primary eccentric and said inner surface of said secondary eccentric being differently spaced from said axis to provide at least three cavities between said surfaces.
