A hydraulic motor having radial pistons, and comprising a cam, a cylinder block and a distributor. The cylinders of the cylinder block are connected to communication orifices (32A) situated in a communication face of the cylinder block, while the distributor has a distribution face in which distribution orifices (21A, 23A) are provided that are suitable for communicating with the communication orifices for rotating the motor. The cam is provided with a plurality of lobes (50, 50′), each of which has two ramps (51, 52), each ramp corresponding to a distribution orifice (21A, 23A). The edge of each of at least certain communication orifices (32A) has at least one notch (54A, 54B) suitable for establishing a small section of communication with a distribution orifice. The invention applies in particular to hydraulic motors having radial pistons for which the ratio between the number of cylinders and the number of cam lobes is in the vicinity of 1.
A hydraulic motor having radial pistons, and comprising a cam and a cylinder block that are suitable for turning relative to each other about an axis of rotation, the cylinder block having radial cylinders connected via cylinder ducts to communication orifices situated in a communication face of the cylinder block that is perpendicular to the axis of rotation, pistons mounted to slide in the cylinders being suitable for co-operating with the cam, which cam is provided with a plurality of lobes, each of which has two ramps, the motor further comprising a fluid distributor having a distribution face that is perpendicular to the axis of rotation and that is suitable for being in abutment against the communication face of the cylinder block, said distribution face being provided with distribution orifices comprising orifices suitable for being connected to a fluid feed and orifices suitable for being connected to a fluid discharge, the fluid distributor being constrained to rotate with the cam, so that there is one ramp of the cam that corresponds to each distribution orifice, said distribution orifices being suitable for communicating one after another with the communication orifices while the cylinder block and the distributor are turning relative to each other, an edge of each of at least certain communication orifices being provided with at least one notch suitable for establishing a small section of communication with a distribution orifice.
