Abstract
In a fluid power converter, such as a hydraulic pump or motor, having a rotor and stator with vanes in both the rotor and stator, the improvement in the vane slots on one or both of the rotor and stator in which a ramp is provided on both sides of the open ends of each slot. The ramps are directed outwardly towards the annular space between the rotor and stator for allowing a crossing vane to cam out of the opposing slot thereby preventing the crossing vane from catching in the opposing slot.
