Abstract:
A piston (8) is provided in a motor main body (4). A first motor chamber (9) is provided above the piston (8) and a second motor chamber (10) is provided below the piston (8). A pilot valve element (18) is provided so as to protrude from the piston (8). When a supply/discharge valve (13) is moved to its upper limit position or its lower limit position by the movement of the pilot valve element (18) in an up-down direction, a first valve member (25) of the supply/discharge valve (13) switches between supplying and discharging pressure fluid to and from the first motor chamber (9) and a second valve member (26) of the supply/discharge valve (13) switches between supplying and discharging pressure fluid to and from the second motor chamber (10).
Abstract:
A dual pneumo-hydraulic pump unit is provided. The dual pneumo-hydraulic pump unit includes a central pneumatic cylinder that works in the center of two hydraulic piston pumps. The two hydraulic piston pumps are mounted parallel to the plunger of the central pneumatic cylinder, positioned one on each side. Compressed air or other pressurized gases are used to move the central pneumatic cylinder, as a source of motor energy to pump oil under pressure to a hydraulic pressure accumulator for later activation of hydraulic actuators.
Abstract:
An air-to-hydraulic fluid pressure amplifier comprising an air cylinder having an internal reciprocating air piston; a first hydraulic cylinder having a first valve fitting and a first internal hydraulic ram that is slidably positioned within the first hydraulic cylinder; a second hydraulic cylinder having a second valve fitting and a second internal hydraulic ram that is slidably positioned within the second hydraulic cylinder; a first flow control valve and a second flow control valve; a first plunger-operated pilot valve and a second plunger-operated pilot valve. Each of the first and second plunger-operated pilot valves comprises an inlet port, an outlet port, a plunger, a barrel, and a compression spring.
Abstract:
An end cap assembly for a reciprocating air motor comprises a pilot valve and an end cap body. The pilot has a valve stem. The end cap body comprises a central bore for receiving an air motor rod, a valve bore in which the pilot valve is disposed such that the valve stem extends through the end cap body, and an air port extending through the end cap body. The air port has a contour to direct air toward the valve stem.
Abstract:
A “HYDRAULIC PRESSURE GENERATION UNIT WITH PNEUMATIC ACTUATION” in particular a multifunction unit activated by low pressure air, consisting of at least one pump (1), preferably two pumps (1 and 2), which are pneumatically automated, comprising a pneumatic cylinder (5) with a medial plunger (7), in addition to two symmetrical and opposite hydraulic plungers (8 and 9) limiting an upper hydraulic chamber (1 A and 2 A) and another lower hydraulic chamber (1 B and 2 B) having different volumes, wherein since they work in parallel and out-of-phase a reduced oil volume is required and the pulsating movement thereof is removed.
Abstract:
An air-driven pump system comprising an efficiency valve. One or multiple efficiency valves integral to the pumping system prevent overfilling of the air chambers, thereby reducing the amount of air used by the system while decreasing the energy wasted by the system.
Abstract:
A high pressure double membrane pump has a central housing (3), two cylindrical pump chambers (7,8), a coupling rod (4) which moves back and forth when the pump is in operation and which has a pump piston (9), two membranes which divide each of the pump chambers (7,8) into a product chamber (11,12) and a compressed air chamber (1,2) with changing volumes of which the membranes have a peripherally mounted membrane body (15). In the central area of the membrane body (15) a rigid implant body (17) is embedded which is equipped with a dog (18) which is connected to one end of the coupling rod (4), and a pneumatic control unit for the alternating impinging of compressed air upon the compressed air chambers. In the area of the compressed air chambers (1,2) a rigid supporting ring (20) is pushed onto the dog (18) between the end of the coupling rod (4) and the inner side of the membrane (5). The diameter of said supporting ring is between 50% and 95% of the diameter of the working surface of the membrane (5), and the periphery thereof is formed as a rounded shoulder (21) facing away from the membrane body (15).
Abstract:
A compressor system that is configured to compress the fluid from low pressure source to a higher pressure magnitude is powered from the same low pressure fluid source. The compressor system includes two piston assemblies that are coaxially coupled to one another, and that are of differing cross sectional areas. The low pressure fluid is used to move the larger piston assembly, which is in turn used to move the smaller piston assembly. Low pressure fluid is selectively admitted to the smaller piston assembly, and movement thereof is used to compress the low pressure fluid to a higher pressure magnitude. The compressor system uses a fluidic bistable amplifier, which also coupled to the low pressure fluid source, to control low pressure fluid flow to the larger piston assembly, to thereby control its movement.
