Patent attributes
An axial piston machine utilizing a swashplate design has a cylinder drum (3) that is mounted so that it can rotate around an axis of rotation (2). The cylinder drum (3) is provided with cylinder bores (4), in each of which a piston (5) is mounted so that it can be displaced longitudinally. The pistons (5) are each supported by a sliding shoe (7) on a swashplate (8). The sliding shoes (7) are in a functional connection by means of a retaining device (16), in particular a retaining plate (15), that rotates synchronously with the cylinder drum (3). The sliding shoes (7) are in a functional connection with a moment generating device (25), by means of which an opposing moment can be generated on the sliding shoes (7) that counteracts the tipping moment.
