Zusammenfassung: | A rotary actuator includes one or more rotor vanes ( 40 ); an endplate ( 60 ); a corner seal ( 30 ) being positioned between the rotor vanes ( 40 ) and the endplate ( 60 ); a vane seal ( 20 ); a high pressure chamber and a low pressure chamber; and a single channel ( 22 ) extending from a lower portion of a vane seal groove ( 25 ) to a common channel ( 28 ) beneath the vane seal ( 20 ), wherein the high pressure chamber is in fluid communication with the corner seal ( 30 ) via the single channel ( 22 ) and the common channel ( 28 ). The common channel ( 28 ) may be formed in the rotor vane ( 40 ) or provided separately in a rotor vane flow sleeve ( 21 ) positioned along an interior surface of the rotor vane ( 40 ). The single channel ( 22 ) is machined from the bottom of the vane seal groove ( 25 ) to the area behind the corner seal ( 30 ). A second set of endplates ( 60 ), corner seal ( 30 ), single channel ( 26 ) and common channel ( 29 ) may be provided at an axially opposite end of the rotor vane ( 40 ) from the first set channels in each rotor vane ( 40 ). |
