    Abstract: Vane geometry is an important parameter affecting the lubrication conditions of hydraulic vane machines. A simple thermo-elasto-hydrodynamic lubrication (TEHL) model was used to calculate the friction between vane tip and cam-ring of the hydraulic vane machines. Effect of vane geometry and its dimensions on hydraulic vane machines was theoretically... Show More

    Abstract: Axial piston machine of swashplate type is the common design widely used for many hydraulic applications because of its simplicity, compact design and low cost. However, this simplicity has a negative effect for piston transverse forces which limits machine performance. The main target of this study is to investigate a feasible design of a fixed di...

    Abstract: Swashplate axial piston machines are simple, compact and low price. This simplicity is at the expense of piston transverse forces which limits machine characteristics. The aim of this study is to propose more effective developed design using roller piston bearing. Ball bearing was proposed to reduce transverse forces acting on the piston end of the... Show More
