  • the tongue 142 is then positioned on the lower surface 135a and, with a suitable striking tool, the tongue 142 is crimped with the material of the upper surface 135b ( figure 8h and 8g , after hatch crimping).
  • the thickness of the tongue 142 must therefore be less than the difference in level of the step between the two surfaces 135a, 135b.
  • the groove 134 therefore has a greater width than the width of the tongue 142.
  • the bearing 140 In terms of assembly, it is either possible to fit the bearing 140, then the roller 120 and crimp by passing the tools through the groove 134, or to fit the bearing 140, crimp it and fit the roller 120. If the pad 140 surrounds the roller 120 at more than 180 ° to maintain it, the roller 120 can be inserted in force thanks to the elasticity. Alternatively, the crimping is carried out by embossing the material of the groove. There is therefore no need for staging.
  • FIG. 8i Another variant for holding the pad 140 is presented in figures 8i, 8j and 8k .
  • An axial bore 137 is made in the centering element 130, inside the grooves 134.
  • the bore is substantially parallel to the axis of rotation RR '(dotted on the figure 8i ) and aims to create a recess inside which the tongue 142 can come to block.
  • the hole 137 is at the bottom of the recess 112.
  • the tongue 142 has a greater length than that of the groove 134 (see figure 8k ).
  • a hole 137 is made for each groove 134.
  • the pad 140 is inserted, the tongues 142 of which are elastically deformed in the grooves 134, so that once the bottom of the recess has been reached 112 has been reached, the tongues 142 are deployed in the respective hole 137 . If the deformation is not elastic, the tongue 142 can be inserted or folded back by a punch.
  • a hole is drilled at the bottom of the recess, along an axis parallel to the rolling axis R-R '. This hole makes it possible to insert a tab provided on the pad therein and to limit the line contact, in the case of a standard roller, since the hole is located on the top of the convexity.
  • the centering element 130 comprises a groove 136, preferably centered on the rolling axis RR 'and incorporates a pin 138 ( figure 9b ) housed in the groove 136.
  • the groove 136 is not centered.
  • This pin 138 comprises a finger 138a, able to be inserted into the groove 136, and a friction element 138b projecting towards the inside of the recess 112, along the rolling axis R-R ', in order to come into contact with the roller 120.
  • the geometry of the friction element 138b and / or of the roller 120 can be adapted.
  • a straight pin may be suitable.
  • the pin may have a surface curved towards the inside of the recess 112.
  • a standard roller, of cylindrical shape of revolution is suitable.
  • the pin 138 and more precisely the friction element 138b can incorporate a friction material such as bronze or plastic. This material can be in the form of a ball attached to the pin.
  • the friction element 138b extends either over the entire width (or substantially) the entire width of the recess 112, or only part of it. By only a part is meant less than 50% of the width of the recess 112.
  • the finger 138a has the shape of a tenon, which slides in the groove 136 parallel to the sliding axis C-C '.
  • crimping can be carried out after insertion of the pin.
  • the upper surface of the finger 138 is located 1 to 3 mm below a part of the upper surface of the piston at the location of the crimping.
  • the pistons described above find application in particular in hydraulic machines M0 as described in the introduction and whose roller is in permanent contact with the lobed cam M1, and illustrated in figure 10 . In other words, whether the machine is operating, stopped, disengaged or engaged, the roller 120 touches the lobed cam.
  • These machines include a cylinder block M3 within which is radially disposed a plurality of cylinders M2 inside which slides a respective piston 1 when the roller 120 rolls on the lobed cam M1.
  • the M3 cylinder block rotates a drive shaft M4.
  • springs are generally placed under the pistons, resting on the cylinder block and on the lower part 110b of the piston 110.
  • the pistons described above also find application in hydraulic machines such as those described in the introduction and whose piston is retractable in its associated cylinder.
  • An M5 system for managing the pressure of the machine casing is then provided.
  • the pistons retract into their cylinders, which disconnects and deactivates the hydraulic machine.
  • return springs can be provided to return the pistons to the bottom of their cylinder. The two methods can be used together.
  • the roller 120 must then be held in the cradle recess 112 so that it does not fall into the machine. There is then a pad 140 in the cradle recess 112 which closes more than 180 ° around the recess. When the roller 120 is disposed in the recess 112, the pad closes more than 180 ° around the roller, so that it is held radially. Shapes of attachment of the bearing 140 are obtained in the piston by metal deformation.
  • the bush enters the piston by elasticity, or alternatively, it is placed before the striking of forms 118.
  • the roller enters the bush by elastic deformation thereof, and then it is held.
  • the piston presented here is in fact designed to be able to be manufactured by these different processes.
  • a forming apparatus comprising at least two elements movable in translation with respect to one another is used to apply a uniaxial compressive force to a material to be formed. No force or movement in any other direction is exerted on matter.
  • a step of lining a pad is implemented, that is to say a pad is arranged in the cradle recess.
  • the body 110 comprises a peripheral annular groove or groove 150, preferably located at the level of the lower part 110b (see figures 2a and 2b for example).
  • the groove 150 is adapted to receive a seal or sealing ring (not shown and generally referred to as a “segment”), intended to rest slidably on the internal surface of the associated cylinder and thus isolate the cylinder 2 in two parts when the piston 1 is installed.
  • the body 110 of the piston 1 may have a constant diameter over its entire length along the sliding axis CC 'outside the cradle 112 and the aforementioned groove 150 (see figure 3a for example ).
  • the diameter of the body 110 at the level of the lower part 110b, typically below the peripheral groove 150, can thus be less than the diameter beyond the peripheral groove 150, that is to say towards the upper part 110a. In this way, the part of the body 110 below the groove 150, more fragile, is not in contact with the cylinder 2.
  • This narrowing shape can be achieved by the aforementioned methods (see above).
  • the shape of the body 110 of the piston 1 can also be narrowed at the axial ends along the sliding axis CC 'of the piston 1, in the upper part 110a and lower part 110b, in order to optimize the pressure stresses in use (not shown in the figures).
  • this embodiment has an adaptation of the shape of the recess 112 and of the pad 140.
  • the upper part 110 has at least one boss 118 oriented towards the inside of the recess 112.
  • the recess 112 has a semi-cylindrical shape and over a certain axial length (along the axis R-R ') located near at one end, the radius of the semi-cylinder is smaller so that a recess (the boss 118) extends from the upper part 110a towards the interior of the recess 112.
  • the boss 118 does not project in a balcony above the recess 112, which would otherwise mean that the opening angle is not always greater than 180 °. Therefore, the boss 118 is not provided on the centering elements 130.
  • the radius is constant over the entire axial length of the recess 112
  • the pad 140 has near each angle, on two opposite sides, a cutout 144 forming a recess, each cutout allowing the installation of the pad 140 at the level of the bosses 118 (see figure 11b ).
  • the pad 140 Before installation, the pad 140 has a substantially rectangular shape. On each of two opposite faces, the two slits are made, extending in the direction of the other opposite face. For reasons of symmetry, the two cuts 144 are each made at the same distance from the respective nearest edge.
  • the depth of the bosses 118 is less than the thickness of the pad 140, to avoid there being any risk of friction with the roller 120.
  • the bosses 118 are produced before the pad 140 is fitted. Preferably, they come from of the uniaxial process for obtaining the piston 110.
  • the piston 1 can include material reserves 117 at the edge of the recess 112. In this way, when the pad 140 is placed, a crimping can be carried out using a punch on each material reserve, which is deformed to cover the end of the pad 140 and block it in the recess 112 ( figure 12b ). This technique is advantageous for a rigid pad 140. It makes it possible to obtain an assembled piston 1, ie comprising the segment and the bearing which do not come apart. Such a piston is then ready for use.
  • the pad 140 may include at least one cut angle 141, in order to free up space to allow the material displaced by the crimping to come and block the pad 140, without the material reserves 117 extending out of the socket. recess 112.
  • the four angles are cut.
  • the cut angle 141 for crimping is 1 to 3 mm below a portion of the top surface of the piston at the crimping location.
  • the cut angle 141 is located in a plane perpendicular to the axis CC 'and passing substantially at the level of the axis RR'.
  • the pad 140 shown does not necessarily have a shape complementary to the centering element 130 as has been presented in the previous embodiments.
  • the figure 12b can then illustrate a sectional view at the cut corners.
  • planar surface cannot be defined as convex or concave. It should therefore be understood as “strictly convex” or “strictly concave”.
