    Researchers at Purdue University have developed a new piston/cylinder interface design for swashplate-type axial piston machines that features a circumferential groove. This groove reduces leakage and sealing problems without requiring advanced manufacturing techniques. Simulations show the new design achieves the same energy efficiency as a standard design operating at a 15% lower clearance. The grooved design's simplicity and macro-scale features lower manufacturing costs compared to techniques like micro-shaping. This technology can be adapted to existing axial piston machines through an inserted bushing.

    Swashplate-type axial piston machines are a favorite in fluid power applications because of their
    ability to operate at high pressure and their versatile control. The piston/cylinder interface of an
    axial piston machine contributes significantly to the machine's net energy dissipation due to
    leakages and viscous friction. Current solutions typically require micron-level machining which
    increases manufacturing costs.

    Researchers at Purdue University have developed a new design for the piston/cylinder interface
    with a circumferential groove which reduces leakage, improving the interface's sealing function
    without requiring advanced manufacturing techniques. From simulation, they have demonstrated
    that this design is able to achieve net energy dissipation at nominal clearance levels that is
    equivalent to the baseline unit operating at a 15 percent reduced clearance. These lessened
    tolerance requirements will reduce manufacturing costs. In addition, costs will be reduced by the
    simplicity and macro-scale of the grooved design compared with other techniques such as micro-
    surface shaping. This technology can be implemented into any existing swashplate-type axial
    piston machine via an inserted bushing.

    Advantages:
    -Cost efficient
    -Increased energy efficiency
    -No need for advanced manufacturing techniques
