An axial piston machine has a swash plate and an adjusting device having an adjusting cylinder and a double-acting adjusting piston which is longitudinally movable in the adjusting cylinder and includes a piston and a piston rod, which is fixedly connected to the piston and is articulated to the swash plate. The joint between the adjusting piston and the swash plate is a movable swivel joint having a joint body receptacle on one part and a joint body on the other part of the adjusting piston and the swash plate. The joint body is closely guided in the joint body receptacle in the direction of movement of the adjusting piston, is rotatable about an axis of rotation running parallel to the pivot axis of the swashplate, and is movable with a directional component perpendicular to the direction of movement of the adjusting piston and perpendicular to the axis of rotation.

Hydrostatic axial piston machine of swash plate construction

A hydrostatic axial piston machine includes a housing, a cylinder barrel, and a drive shaft, which are connected together and mounted in the housing so as to rotate jointly about a first axis. The machine also includes a swash plate mounted in the housing so as to pivot about a second axis to adjust a swept volume of the machine. The machine further includes a hydraulic actuating apparatus, which has an actuating piston that delimits an actuating chamber. The machine also includes a regulating valve attached to a flange face of the housing. The regulating valve has connections situated in the flange face that are used to communicate hydraulic fluid to and from the actuating chamber. The flange face is arranged obliquely so as to enclose an angle with the second axis that is greater than 0&#xb0; and smaller than 90&#xb0;.
