A piston pump includes: a tilting mechanism configured to bias a swash plate in accordance with a control pressure; a support spring configured to support the swash plate; and a regulator configured to control a control pressure guided to the tilting mechanism in accordance with a self-pressure of the piston pump. The regulator has an outer spring and an inner spring configured to be extended and compressed by following tilting of the swash plate; and a control spool configured to be moved in accordance with a biasing force from the outer spring and the inner spring, the control spool being configured to regulate the control pressure, and the outer spring and the inner spring and the support spring are provided adjacent to each other and in parallel with respect to the swash plate.

Fluid pressure rotating machine

A hydraulic rotating machine includes a case, a cylinder block housed in the case and having a plurality of cylinders, a piston reciprocatively inserted into the cylinder; a swash plate configured to reciprocate the piston as the cylinder block rotates, a tilt control piston configured to biase the swash plate and control a tilt angle of the swash plate, and a stopper mounted to the case, the stopper being configured to define a minimum tilt angle of the swash plate. The stopper has a sliding surface for slidably supporting the tilt control piston.
