Abstract:
Techniques relate to a moving cavity motor or pump, such as a mud motor, including a rotor, a stator, and one or more apparatus for constraining (i.e., controlling or limiting) the movement of the rotor relative to the stator, where the apparatus for constraining is operable with the rotor catch. The motor may include a top sub, power section having a progressive cavity motor with a stator and rotor, a rotor catch, and an apparatus between a proximal and distal end of the rotor catch shaft. The apparatus may constrain the radial and/or tangential movement of the rotor catch shaft and the rotor.
Abstract:
A system and method are presented for improved performance of gerotor compressors and expanders. Certain aspects of the disclosure reduce porting losses in a gerotor system. Other aspects of the disclosure provide for reduced deflection in lobes of an outer rotor of a gerotor system. Still other aspects of the disclosure provide for reduced leakage through tight gaps between components of a gerotor system.

These parts are fitted into the central body, side seal and side seal having inlet opening and outlet opening connected by bypass regulated member. Compensating pistons of the planar compensating system are rigidly attached to the side seal. Pump with the continuously variable flow rate comprises at least one planar compensating system.
Abstract:
A hydraulic geroller (gerotor) motor, wherein an inner rotor of a revolving group has a plurality of lobes circumferentially spaced along an outer periphery of the inner rotor, and an orbiter of the revolving group includes an orbiting ring and rounded vane portions preferably formed by roller vanes contained in inner recesses of the orbiting ring for common orbiting with the orbiting ring about the fixed longitudinal axis. The orbiter also has fixed for orbiting therewith, fluid windows for directing fluid from the fluid ports to the revolving group. The windows may be formed in an integral portion of the orbiter or in a valve plate mounted for common orbiting with the orbiting orbiter. The valve plate cooperates with a stationary commutator plate or assembly to provide an efficient arrangement for the delivery and exhaust of hydraulic pressure fluid to and from the hydraulic motor.

Abstract:
A rotary piston machine 10 includes an enclosure 12 having a cavity 14 therein with arcuate side walls 16a,b,c defining a plurality of arcuate recesses 18a,b,c and a piston member 20 rotationally disposed in the cavity 14. The piston member 20 includes opposite ends 42 and 43 configured to rotationally engage the arcuate side walls 16a,b,c and the arcuate recesses 18a,b,c such that compression chambers 26a,b,c are ultimately formed via the piston member ends 42 and 43 cooperatively engaging two arcuate recesses 18a,b,c. The two piston member ends 42 and 43 each including first and second arcuate edges 44 and 46 that sequentially engage cooperating first and second edge portions 50a,b,c and 52a,b,c of respective arcuate recesses 18a,b,c, resulting in two relatively large seals between one end of the piston member 20 and an arcuate recess 18a,b,c during rotation of the piston member 20 until forming compression chambers 26a,b,c, thereby preventing a fuel-air mixture from “leaking” during the formation of the compression chambers 26a,b,c, resulting in maximum power output from the rotary piston machine 10.

Abstract:
A positive displacement machine with planetary motion and hypertrochoidal geometry, including an enclosure arrangement essentially constituted by a cylindrical piston (11), and a cylindrical enclosure (10) and by a third device in rotoidal connection with this piston and this enclosure, characterized in that the directrix of the piston or of the enclosure is hypertrochoidal or uniformly distant from a hypertrochoid. The machine can carry any type of fluid and can convert mechanical energy into hydraulic energy or vice versa, depending on the nature of the distribution selected for assuring the admission and escape of the fluid. This admission may furthermore be adjustable, to assure a variation in the displacement. For well-chosen geometries, the direct contact between the enclosure and the piston may be used to create the relative motion between the piston and the enclosure and to make it unnecessary to use a separate transmission.
