A rotary hydraulic device of the displacement pump type having coaxial rotor and stator and vanes axially slidable in the rotor, the stator comprising at least one bottom surface formed with a variable number of deformations having rectilinear zones suitable for the operation on the recesses by the vanes. The recesses are made in movable elements of the stator such that the depth of the recesses can be made variable thus providing a device of variable capacity. The device is applicable to brakes and dampeners, as well as to engines and pumps.

Rotary hydraulic axially slidable vane device of variable capacity

The invention relates to a rotary electrohydraulic device of the volumetrical pump type having stator and rotor as well as vanes axially slidable in said rotor. According to the invention, the intermediary space between the rotor and the stator has an axial longitudinal circulary variable interval partly defined by a continuous stator bottom surface of a constant width, said slidable vanes coming to bear constantly and totally on said continuous bottom surface, which is single for a considered set of said vanes. The device according to the invention is mainly applicable as a brake or slackening means but can also work as a motor and a pump.
