  • Patent number: 11105320
    Abstract: A control plate, for alternatingly fluidically connecting hydrostatic operating chambers, in particular of an oblique axis type axial piston machine, with pressure medium connections, includes a first end face, a second end face, at least a first recess, a first kidney-like control opening, and at least one through-recess. The first face extends transversely to a rotation axis. The second face faces away from the first face. The first recess is bounded in the first end face by the first control opening, and at least partially forms the at least one through recess, which extends toward the second end face from the first end face at an end portion of the first control opening, and which is arranged in or counter to a rotation direction of the rotation axis. An oblique axis construction type axial piston machine includes such a control plate.

  • Patent number: 10590908
    Abstract: A variable-displacement hydrostatic axial piston motor of bent-axis construction includes a drive shaft, a cylinder drum that pivots in a pivoting plane, and a one-piece port plate nearly symmetrical with a central plane and with two working ports. The motor further includes an adjusting device with an adjusting piston arranged in the port plate, a control valve arranged on the port plate and with a control valve piston, a feedback spring arranged in the port plate and clamped between the adjusting piston and the control valve piston, a counterbalance valve with a counterbalance spool, and two secondary pressure-limiting valves inserted as cartridge-type inserts into the port plate. The counterbalance spool is accommodated in a valve bore in the port plate. The two working ports are situated on the port plate opposite to the first side. The two secondary pressure-limiting valves are arranged on the same side as the port surfaces.

  • Patent number: 10094365
    Abstract: A hydrostatic axial piston machine of swashplate type of construction includes a rotatable cylinder drum that has a plurality of cylinder bores, which are arranged approximately axially, formed in the cylinder drum. A piston is inserted into each cylinder bore at one side. At the other side, each cylinder bore is freely connected via a respective passage opening to a face surface of the cylinder drum. The face surface bears against a static distributor disk. The respective mouths arranged at the face surface, or the passage openings as a whole, have a cross section that has two or four widenings with rounded corners so as to enlarge the cross-sectional area in relation to the circular shape.
