Abstract: The body of the proposed axial piston machine incorporates a cylinder block ith cylindrical spaces. The axes of the cylindrical spaces are parallel with the longitudinal axis of the engine crankshaft and the cylindrical spaces accommodate reciprocating pistons. Each piston is connected to one end a rod. The other end of the rod is articulated with the swash plate, which is mounted via a first support, on the inclined journal of the shaft installed on supports in the body and which is articulated to the body by universal joints. The machine of the invention provides a second spherical support for the swash plate. The second support is connected with the frame and the center of the support is essentially aligned with the geometric center of the connecting member of the universal joints. The bisector plane which is the plane of symmetry of the universal joints passes through the center of the support.

Abstract: A 7-cylinder axial-piston internal combustion engine has a casing (33) inded for connection with a cylinder block (2). Formed in the casing (33) coaxially with shaft (11) is a cavity which receives a drive gear 41 on an end of the shaft (11). The drive gear (41) is in mesh with a gear wheel (42) installed in the casing (33) and kinematically connected to a ring-shaped member (68) having external radial projections (71, 72) and an internal ring gear (83). The member (68) is kinematically connected to actuating members. A zone A of engagement of the drive gear (41) with the gear wheel (42) communicates with a header (54) for oil supply. A zone B outside the engagement of the drive gear (41) with the gear wheel (42) communicates with a source of lubrication.
