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.

Abstract: Shaft with a fixed component, where the connection between the shaft body and the component is provided via combined cohesion and interlock. The interlock is achieved by way of example via profiling of the components, and permits correct positioning of the component on the shaft body in a radial direction with respect to the shaft body. The cohesion is provided by means of an adhesive layer composed of high-strength structural adhesive, by way of a jointing method that avoids any substantial heating. The cohesive connection fixes the component on the shaft body in an axial direction with respect to the shaft body. Under operating conditions, forces acting on the component are therefore transmitted both by way of the cohesive connection and also by way of the interlock connection.
