Abstract: A hydraulic machine having a housing, a cylinder block located in the housing and having axial pistons slidably movable in cylinders, a shaft rotationally connected to the cylinder block, and a swash plate in load engagement with the pistons of the cylinder block. The swash plate is pivotally mounted in the housing by at least one bearing, such that said swash plate is pivotally adjustable about a kinematic axis to alter a hydraulic displacement of the pistons in the cylinder block. The thrust pistons are located between the swash plate and the housing so as to urge the swash plate toward the cylinder block.

Abstract: A hydrostatic piston machine having a cylinder block with several cylinders, in which are slidably mounted pistons in load engagement with a reaction member via transmission members, each transmission member is connected to at least one of the piston or the reaction member via a spherical joint comprising a ball recess and a ball pivot comprising a convex spherical surface. The ball pivot has an ending rotational surface which is continuously connected to the convex spherical surface, created by rotating a continuous generating line around the axis of symmetry of the ball pivot, or at least one of the ball recess or the ball pivot has an end wall which is deformable under the loads acting on the spherical joint, so as to provide for an ending rotational surface having a curvature which is different from an initial curvature thereof.
