A method of manufacturing a piston for hydrostatic axial and radial piston machines by non-machining forming, by filling a material that is in a substantially unresistant, formable state into a mold defining a piston outer contour which is closed on all sides, in which at least one supporting core is arranged spaced from the inner contour of the mold to remain in the completed piston to define a core region in the interior of the piston that is closed on all sides, then solidifying the material forming a piston with high strength characteristics and low weight, and removing the completed piston with the enclosed supporting core. The invention also comprises a piston for a hydrostatic axial or radial piston machine, made integrally of high-strength material in a non-machining forming process, such as by casting, sintering or the like, having in its interior at least one core region surrounded by the high-strength material and containing a supporting core that is provided to take up forces acting on the piston when in operation and which, during formation of the piston defines the core region, which supporting core is lighter than the high-strength material it replaces in the core region.

Piston for hydrostatic axial and radial piston machines and method for

A piston for axial piston machines in the form of a hollow body with an axial cavity therein into which an insert is inserted and is secured axially by means of a collar in the wall of the hollow body surrounding the insert overlapping its outer end face is designed so that while ensuring simple and economical manufacture, stable support of the filler piece and a stability of the shaft of the piston is obtained. This is achieved by providing the collar by pressing the wall of the hollow body, which is longer than its final length, into a plurality of oppositely disposed recesses or into an annular recess in the insert and by cutting the piston formed in this way to length in the general region of the recesses or the annular recess.

Piston for axial piston machines

A piston for an axial piston machine, comprising a hollow body having an axial cavity into which a filler piece of a material of lower specific gravity than the material of the piston is inserted which at least partially fills said cavity, said filler piece being secured axially in the cavity by a shoulder projecting radially inwards from the hollow body, is to be designed so that with simple construction a stable axial securing of the filler piece is ensured. This is achieved in that the filler piece has a recess arranged between its ends on its outer surface into which the section of the hollow body overlapping the recess is pressed in a form fitting and force locking manner.
