Abstract:
Hydraulic devices are shown and described that can include a rotor, vanes and a ring. The rotor can be disposed for rotation about an axis. The plurality of vanes can each include a vane step. Each of the plurality of vanes can be moveable relative to the rotor between a retracted position and an extended position where the plurality of vanes work a hydraulic fluid introduced adjacent the rotor. A roller can be mounted to a tip of each of the plurality of vanes. The ring can be disposed at least partially around the rotor. The rotor can include one or more passages for ingress or egress of a hydraulic fluid to or from a region adjacent the vane step and defined by at least the rotor and the vane step.
