<p>A piston type hydraulic pump characterized by a relief clutch apparatus which functions to detect the occurrence of contaminates in the pumping oil and to automatically protect the internal working components of the pumping mechanism from damage by such contaminates. More specifically, the relief clutch is arranged to automatically and substantially instantly relieve the pumping pistons from the forces of the piston driving cam upon the occurrence of any abnormal forces imposed on any one of the pistons by binding action of the contaminates. Hence actuation of the pistons is automatically stopped prior to the occurrence of irreparable damage to the machine.</p> |
