Abstract (en)

A pump and motor assembly (10) for supplying fluid to a double acting hydraulic cylinder the ends of which are connected to two exit ports (1, 2) provided on the pump housing (11). A single acting piston (5) reciprocates and rotates simultaneously on the piston axis with the reciprocating motion imparted by a single row ball bearing (13) mounted on the piston (5) and inclined at an angle to the piston axis and having a single point on the outer race of the single row ball bearing (13) restrained. The pump includes two one way check valves (25, 26 and 27, 28) in passages between a reservoir (24) and the exit ports (1,2) that allow fluid to be drawn into the pumping chamber (7) when the attached cylinder is expanding. A bleed valve, constructed using two balls (30, 31) allows fluid displaced by the rod of a double acting cylinder to be returned through a third passage (35) to the reservoir (24) when the attached cylinder is retracting. <IMAGE>
