    Abstract: An axial piston device may be operated as a pump and includes a self-centering rotary valve. The device includes a stationary housing encompassing a shaft and the rotary valve. The rotary valve and the shaft are coupled to each other. Upon rotation, the rotary valve self-centers as a result of elimination of moments and forces within the pump. The inventive pump is a piston device. The valve is within a valve bore, which is a part of a manifold. A shaft is within the manifold and the shaft is attached at its distal end to a planar surface of the rotary valve. The shaft has a first axis of rotation and the rotary valve has a second axis of rotation. During operation of the pump, the first axis is often times offset from the second axis. The pump operates via a swashplate with reciprocating pistons while the housing remains stationary.

    Abstract: The compact, all-gear full-traction differential includes meshing pairs of side-gear worms and worm-wheel balance gears having a “hybrid” design. Preferably, the teeth of each side-gear worm have an involute profile but are cut with only plunge feed, while the teeth of the worm-wheel portions of the balance gears are helicoid worms having tip and root modifications made by a convex-shaped cutter. The side-gear worm teeth have a helix angle equal to or greater than 45° and significantly chamfered ends, and the gears are designed to provide a gear ratio between 1.5:1 and 2.5:1. The numbers of teeth in the spur-gear portion and worm-wheel portion of each balance gear and in each side-gear worm are all divisible by 2 or by 3, preferably by both 2 and 3.

    Abstract: Smaller and lighter hydraulic pump/motors provide remarkably improved volumetric efficiency with pistons having body portions substantially as long as the axial length of the respective cylinders in which they reciprocate. A plurality of respective lubricating channels form a single, continuous lubricating passageway entirely within the cylinder block and not connected by either fluid “input” or fluid “output” passageways, being replenished solely by a minimal flow of fluid to and from the valve end of each cylinder and passing between each respective cylindrical wall of each cylinder and the axial cylindrical body of each respective piston. Several embodiments are disclosed in combination with various spring-biased hold-down assemblies. The preferred embodiment includes a fixed cylinder block, a roller bearing mounting between the wobbler and rotor of a split-swash plate, with piston shoes contacting the wobbler directly without any intermediary apparatus.

    Abstract: A modular track suspension system is readily adapted for attachment to any presently manufactured full-size automotive vehicle built with a load-carrying frame, being easily substituted for the vehicle's conventional wheeled undercarriage either during or following final assembly. The module uses a pair of endless rubber tracks, one track under each respective side of the vehicle; and each track is frictionally driven by tandem pairs of dual-wheels with rubber tires, each tandem pair of wheels being driven, respectively, by an intermediately positioned drive-unit axle. The dual-wheels are each movable in a vertical plane, and each dual-wheel can move separately and independently of the similar independent movement of the other dual-wheel with which it is tandemly paired. Each dual-wheel is also resiliently biased in the direction of the terrain on which the vehicle is standing or moving. Driving torque is delivered to the two endless tracks through a plurality of differentials appropriately and simply connected directly with the vehicle's drive shaft. In all preferred embodiments, an additional differential that is connected with, and is responsive to, the operation of the vehicle's steering wheel superimposes additive and subtractive steering torques to the already differentiated driving torques being delivered to the left-side and right-side tracks for controlling the vehicle's direction.

    Abstract: A universal coupling directly transmits constant velocity between two shafts, while allowing the angle between the shafts to vary (e.g., by even more than 40.degree.) continuously during operation. The primary elements of the coupling are a pair of distinctive spherical gears. The term "spherical" is used to distinguish these distinctive gears from conventional "cylindrical" (spur and helical) and "conical" (bevel and hypoid) gears. Several forms of spherical gear teeth are specifically detailed and applied in designs appropriate for automotive constant-velocity joints.

    Abstract: A spool valve is provided with a stem portion that defines a fluid passageway formed by either (a) a single central support having a non-cylindrical curved surface shaped hydrodynamically, or (b) only a pair of sidewalls with, preferably, interior surfaces that are also shaped hydrodynamically. These stem passageways, which are designed to facilitate the flow of high-speed/high-pressure fluids controlled by the valve, are maintained in a predetermined orientation relative to the ports of the valve cylinders by a mechanism preferably including (a) a cam-following roller supported in a tang fixed to each spool and (b) a two-element cam that captures the roller within two of the parallel sides of a cam-track groove formed on the respective interior surfaces of each cam element.
