Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to an improvement in a radial piston machine having a stationary member, a cylinder body rotatable about the stationary member and having cylinder bores, pistons reciprocable in the cylinder bores, a piston-control ring adjacent the cylinder body, and glide shoes on the pistons and in sliding engagement with the control ring. According to the improvement the member and the pistons are of case-hardened steel, the cylinder body is of alloyed pearlitic cast iron, and the control ring is of steel.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
122 words
A radial piston machine, comprising a stationary member; a cylinder body mounted on said stationary member for rotation with respect thereto and having a plurality of cylinder bores bounded by internal surfaces, said stationary member and said cylinder body having neighboring contact regions of case-hardened steel and alloyed pearlitic iron, respectively, in sliding contact with one another; pistons mounted in said cylinder bores for reciprocation therein and having external surfaces in sliding contact with said internal surfaces, said pistons and said cylinder body having portions of case-hardened steel and alloyed pearlitic iron, respectively, defining said external and internal surfaces; a piston-control ring of steel adjacent said cylinder body; and glide shoes on said pistons and in sliding contact with said piston-control ring.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
122 words
