Abstract

See full text

A vane actuation mechanism for an axial vane rotary device includes a cylindrical outer housing that defines an internal cylindrical chamber. A rotor assembly having a drive shaft is rotatably mounted within the internal cylindrical chamber. A cylindrical guide slot is held in proper rotational position within the internal cylindrical chamber. A plurality of modified vanes are disposed on the rotor core. The modified vane has a recess in the top of the vane. A shear block having a general 'T' shape is disposed in the recess of the vane and is secured to the vane. Part of the shear block is disposed within the guide slot to act as a guide member. The guide slot can be formed from a single cylindrical member. The single cylindrical member is cut to form two cylindrical guide slot members. The edges of the cylindrical guide slot members form the guide slot. The guide slot urges the shear block as the vanes rotate.
