The invention relates to a rotary piston machine, comprising a housing (10) and a piston (12) which is situated in a hollow area of the housing (10) in such a way that it can rotate and which is rotationally fixed to a shaft (18) that passes through the housing (10). At least one inlet channel and at least one outlet channel for guiding a working fluid in or out of the hollow area are configured in the housing (10). According to the invention, the hollow area has a section which is configured in the form of a cylindrical ring cavity that is coaxial to the shaft (18). The piston (12), as a ring piston, is configured in the form of a cylindrical tubular section which engages in the ring cavity of the housing (10) and is axially displaceably guided in said ring cavity. The end surfaces (20,26) of the ring cavity and the ring piston (12) facing away towards each other are configured as constant wavy surfaces with an axially parallel amplitude. The inlet and outlet openings are located within an axial area of the lateral surface of the ring cavity that is determined by the maximum axial interval of the wave hollows of the end surfaces (20,26) facing towards each other. |
