ABSTRACT:
A gerotor motor of the valve-in-star type in which the star (27) is disposed adjacent a stationary valve plate (15). The stationary valve plate (15) defines a plurality N+1 of valve passages (69), extending through the valve plate. On the surface (73) of the valve plate (15) adjacent the endcap member (14), the valve plate defines a plurality of pressure relieving recesses (79), each one being disposed between a pair of adjacent valve passages (69). Each of the recesses (79) is in fluid communication with an O-ring groove (81), which is at low pressure. Thus, any leakage from a high pressure passage (69) to an adjacent low pressure passage (69) is received within the intervening relieving recess (79), substantially eliminating any separating forces between the endcap member (14) and the stationary valve plate (15) This results in substantially improved volumetric efficiency of the motor at higher pressure differentials.
