Performance of the hydrostatic high-pressure drive systems is affected by the changes of working fluid’s volume. Presence of air bubbles in the fluid cause this problem to be even more serious. To study this phenomenon precise measurements of fluid’s bulk modulus are necessary. Differ-ent measurement methods are applied, but they are either limited to low pressure range or give inaccurate results. To solve the problem the new...

Hydraulic satellite machines are known and produced in many versions, recognizable by the number of humps on their inner rotor and external gear, and therefore by the number of cooperating gears (satellites). All known shapes were however designed on the base of preliminary assumption that rotor’s and external gear’s pitch lines are formed by merging arcs, tangent to each other in the. This assumption makes calculations easier,...

Artykuł prezentuje budowę i działanie hydraulicznej pompy satelitowej pompy. Zbudowane i przebadane prototypy nowej pompy wykazały się wysokimi parametrami pracy i zdolnością tłoczenia różnych cieczy: oleju, wody i emulsji HFAE. Mechanizm pompy tworzą dwie nieokrągłe uzębione bieżnie: zewnętrzna obwodnica i wewnętrzna planeta oraz umieszczone pomiędzy nimi koła zębate (satelity). Obecny kształt planety i obwodnicy powoduje szybkie...
