Abstract
An axial piston machine may include a rotor rotatably mounted in a housing. A plurality of cylinders may be arranged in a ring around the rotor. A plurality of pistons may each be arranged within each of the plurality of cylinders and may be constructed and arranged to selectively translate within the plurality of cylinders. A plurality of inlet openings may be defined in a cylinder head and at least one outlet opening may be defined in the housing. The plurality of cylinders may be in operative communication with the plurality of inlet openings and the at least one outlet opening. An inlet channel may be defined in the cylinder head and may extend to each of the plurality of inlet openings. An outlet channel may be defined in the housing and may be in operative communication with the at least one outlet opening. A bypass channel may be defined in the housing and may extend from the cylinder head into one of the outlet channel or a swashplate space. A bypass valve may be connected to the cylinder head or may be integrated with the cylinder head. The bypass valve may be constructed and arranged to selectively apportion a working medium to the inlet channel and the bypass channel based on a switching position of the bypass valve.
