Abstract
A coupling arrangement (63;107;229) for use in a fluid pressure device including a gerotor gear set (15;83;205). The gerotor gear set includes an orbiting and rotating star (21;95;209). In a motor embodiment (FIGS. 1-4 and FIG. 6), the coupling (63;229) transmits the orbital and rotational movement of the star (21;209) to an output shaft (29;203). In a steering unit embodiment (FIG. 5) the orbital and rotational movement of the star (95) is transmitted as rotational follow-up movement to a sleeve valve (101). In either case, the invention eliminates the need for the conventional solid dogbone arrangement, thus making the device much less expensive and more compact, and giving the designer greater flexibility with regard to various options, such as the provision of thru-shaft capability for a motor.
