<p>An internal gear machine of the kind having variable displacement fluid chambers formed between an orbiting outer gear (33) and a rotating inner gear (31) has the orbiting outer gear (33) retained in its orbiting motion by a plurality of roller dowells closely fitting in a locating ring (19) disposed radially outside the outer gear (33) and extending therefrom to be received in arcuate recesses on the radial outside of the outer gear (33) as it orbits. The locating ring (19) is connected to an end piece (15) of the internal gear machine along a plane of torsional stress and this connection is reinforced by providing the end piece (15) with recesses (45) disposed coaxially with the roller dowells (41) and extending the roller dowells (41) closely within the recesses (45). The roller dowells (41) thus extend across the plane or torsional stress and provide reinforcement.</p> |
