Abstract: An axial piston machine includes a housing, a drive shaft, and a cylinder drum. The drive shaft is mounted in the housing so as to be rotatable with respect to a first axis of rotation. The cylinder drum is mounted so as to be rotatable with respect to a second axis of rotation. The cylinder drum has at least one cylinder bore that linearly guides an elongate piston. The piston has a first end connected to the drive shaft by a ball joint and a section in the form of a circular cone which tapers toward the first end. The piston also has a spherical section at the second end that is situated opposite the first end. The cone-shaped section merges without offsets and kinks into the spherical section. The piston has a flat end face at the second end which defines a plane that intersects the spherical section.

Abstract: An axial piston engine, in particular pump or motor, includes a housing, a drive shaft, and a cylinder drum. The drive shaft is mounted in the housing so as to be rotatable with respect to a first axis of rotation. A bearing body is received in the cylinder drum rotatably with respect to a second axis of rotation. The bearing body is connected to the drive shaft via a first ball joint that has a joint center lying on the first axis of rotation. The cylinder drum has at least one circular-cylindrical cylinder bore in which an elongated piston is displaceably received. A first end of the piston is connected to the drive shaft via a second ball joint. The at least one cylinder bore is arranged at an inclination to the second axis of rotation.

Abstract: A piston (2) for a piston engine, in particular for an axial-piston engine (1) of the inclined-axis type, comprises a conical section (26), a neck region (19) and a ball end (9) which is formed onto said neck region (19), a clearance (15) which is constructed in the piston and a pin (14) which is constructed in said clearance (15). The wall (20) of the piston (2) has different thicknesses of material in different sections of its axial length.

Abstract: The invention relates to a hydrostatic drive comprising at least one hydraulic pump (1) and a first and a second hydraulic motor (6, 25), which are respectively connected to said hydraulic pump (1) by means of two service lines (4, 41, 5, 5?) and whose absorption volume can be regulated by means of a regulator (40, 41). One respective hydraulic motor (6, 25) for a drive train is provided per respective right or left vehicle side. The regulators (40, 41) are actuated by a respective regulator piston (7, 26). The regulator pistons (7, 26) of both hydraulic motors (6, 25) can be subjected to a force by means of a common high pressure, which equals the highest pressure that prevails in the service lines (4, 41, 5, 5?) of both hydraulic motors (6, 25). Each force is opposed to a respective counter-force, which is generated by a control pressure in a control pressure chamber (11, 11?).
