Hydraulic Motor with Anti-Cogging Features

Abstract:

An example hydraulic motor comprises: a stator comprising (i) a stator body having plurality of roller pockets, wherein the stator body comprises a plurality of grooves that are longitudinally-extending, and (ii) a plurality of rollers disposed respectively in the plurality of roller pockets; a rotor having a plurality of external teeth configured to engage with the plurality of rollers of the stator, such that the plurality of rollers and the plurality of external teeth define fluid chambers therebetween configured to expand and contract as the rotor rotates within the stator; and an anti-cogging passage configured to provide pressurized fluid from at least one of the fluid chambers to at least one groove of the plurality of grooves of the stator body, such that pressurized fluid provided to the at least one groove applies a radially-inward force on a respective roller toward the rotor.
