A radial piston machine includes at least one piston unit with a piston and at least one rolling element rotatably mounted in a rolling element receptable of the piston. The piston of the piston unit is polished.

Piston unit and hydrostatic radial piston machine

A piston unit includes a piston which has a rolling element seat configured to rotatably support a rolling element. The rolling element seat has a bearing surface with a surface coating composed of a polymer compound or with a ceramic surface coating.

Piston unit and hydrostatic radial-piston machine

A piston unit for a radial piston machine includes a piston and a roller or a roller element. The roller or roller element has a circular cylindrical jacket apart from a chamfer. A hydrostatic pressure- or force-relief element is provided in a contact area between the piston and the roller. The hydrostatic pressure- or force-relief element forms a pressure field in the contact area. The roller or roller element also has one or two end-face holes. Due to the hole(s), the roller is slightly weakened at the associated end section such that Hertzian stress is reduced at the same associated end section.
