Title:
RADIAL PISTON ENGINE WITH GUIDE ROLLERS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1999046504
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention concerns a technically optimised radial piston engine comprising a cam ring and a cylinder block arranged so as to rotate about an axis of rotation relative to the cam ring and having a plurality of cylinders oriented in the radial direction of the cylinder block. A piston capable of being radially displaced is located in each cylinder, resting on the cam ring via a roller. Said roller is mounted on the piston so as to rotate about an axis parallel to that of the cylinder block and rests axially, relative to its axis of rotation in the cylinder, against roller guides arranged on its surfaces. Said radial piston engine is characterised in that the roller guides are integrally mobile with the roller associated with them, in the piston stroke direction, and thereby driven by the roller both when the piston performs a loaded stroke and an idle stroke, without any contact occurring between the roller guides and the cam ring. The pistons are rotationally fixed by a torsional stop which is separate from the roller guide.
