Abstract: An axial piston machine for at least one of a pump and a motor operation includes a housing, connection plate, piston drum, and working piston. The connection plate is connected to the housing. The piston drum is arranged on a rotatable drive shaft in the housing interior and defines at least one cylinder bore. The working piston is arranged in a longitudinally displaceable manner in the cylinder bore. The cylinder bore delimits a cylinder space having a changeable volume. The cylinder space is configured to connect to at least one pre-compression space via at least one hydraulic connection. The at least one pre-compression space is defined by a cavity within the connection plate. The cavity is defined by the connection plate and a closing element. The closing element is arranged between the connection plate and the housing interior.

Abstract: A planetary friction gear mechanism (10) for a fluid energy machine (1), wherein a gap (24) for supplying lubricant (M) to a thrust collar (20) is formed, at least in sections, between an inner side (21a, 22a) of respective annular elements (21, 22) of the thrust collar (20) and adjacently arranged end sides (16a, 16b) of a plurality of planetary gears (16, 17, 18). Also a method for operating a planetary friction gear mechanism (10), and to a fluid energy machine (1).
