ABSTRACT:
An axial motor (100) driven by opposed pistons/cylinder (101a–105b, 111a–115b) pairs arranged in a circular array about a central axis of the motor (100). The opposed pistons (101a, 101b; 102a, 102b; 103a, 103b; 104a, 104b; 105a, 105b) in each pair are linked by a corresponding connecting rod (106–110), which transfers the thrust from the pistons (101a–105a) to an output shaft via a power transmission apparatus (300) and z crank (114) arrangement. Reciprocating couplings disposed in the transmission apparatus (300) connect the connecting rods (106–110) to the apparatus (300). During operation, the reciprocating couplings oscillate to retain the connecting rods (106–110) substantially aligned with the corresponding piston pair to reduce side thrust on the pistons.
