Abstract
The present invention is for a bearing arrangement by a device for transmission of power where linear motion is transmitted into rotating motion or the like. The bearing means at the cam disc machine according to the invention is so made that the rotating cam disc is enclosed by a stationary housing whereby bearing between the stationary and rotating parts is arranged only on one side of the cylinder bore and in connection to the outgoing shaft.
Claims6
A power machine comprising:
- a common cylinder having a bore formed therein;
- two pistons disposed in said bore in opposed facing relation with respect to each other and being constructed and arranged to synchronously reciprocate within said bore in opposite respective directions;
- a transmission mechanism for converting linear reciprocating movement of said two pistons into a rotating movement, said transmission mechanism comprising:
- a stationary disc;
- a rotating disc, said rotating and stationary discs being operatively coupled to each other and to said two pistons to convert reciprocating movement of said pistons into rotation of said rotating disc;
- and
- an output shaft attached to said rotating disc by a connecting part;
- a housing fixed to said stationary disc which at least partially encloses said rotating disc;
- and
- at least one bearing assembly rotationally supporting at least one of said shaft and said connecting part, wherein said output shaft and said connecting part extend to only one side of said common cylinder so that said at least one bearing is disposed on said one side of said common cylinder.
