A two-way transducer for transfering power between two hydraulic circuits, e.g. to ensure uninterrupted hydraulic power in all the hydraulic circuits of a twin engined aircraft, even when one engine has failed. A body (1) has an elongate cavity (4) housing two barrels (14, 15) of cylinders (26) with pistons (28) slidably mounted therein. A common drive shaft (17) enables each barrel to drive the other. A wedge (16) located between the barrels provides two oblique surfaces (18, 19) for the piston heads to slide over. Sealing means (38, 39, 43, 44) to prevent fluid leaking from one circuit to the other. In operation one barrel operates as a swashplate type of motor driving the other barrel which then acts as a pump.

Hydraulic power transducer

This invention relates to hydraulic pumps. The pump includes essentially a casing (1), a barrel (3) capable of rotating on a slide face (2), the barrel comprising a plurality of pistons (16, 17) sliding in a reciprocating manner in cylinders (9, 10) provided in the casing, the pump being characterized essentially by the fact that it comprises structures (59, 54, 50, 52, 53) for sequentially applying the pressure prevailing in the cylinder on a given portion between a bearing block (26) made in the casing (1) and the part of said barrel (3) cooperating with the bearing block (26). The pump finds a particularly advantageous application in the area of those which must rotate at very high speed, for example in aeronautics.
