  • Patent number: 6368072
    Abstract: Sufficient pressure is produced in a pocket of a hydrostatic bearing when a corresponding cylinder is about to switch from a suction stroke to a discharge stroke in order to prevent solid contact of sliding faces. A plurality of cylinders are arranged on a circle around a center axis of a cylinder block rotatably supported in a housing. Pistons reciprocates in the respective cylinders. A suction port and a discharge port provided to the housing selectively communicate with the respective cylinders in accordance with a rotational position of the cylinder block. A drive shaft inclined relative to the center axis of the cylinder block, a rotation transmitting mechanism for transmitting rotation of the drive shaft to the cylinder block for rotating the cylinder block synchronously with the drive shaft, and a rotating disk rotating together with the drive shaft and cooperatively engaged with the pistons are further provided.
