Abstract: An axial piston machine of the skew axis type with at least two independent working streams is described. In this at least two groups of working pistons are arranged in cylinder bores, each on a circle, whereby each group of working pistons delivers an independent working stream or provides a working stream with medium. Such an axial piston machine is constructed as a machine in which the delivery volume is continuously adjustable, and in which the angle of inclination of the cylinder drum can be changed by means of an adjusting mechanism. The entrainment of the cylinder drum only takes place through one of the groups of working pistons.
