Swash plate-type axial, piston pump

Abstract

A swash plate-type axial piston pump, in particular for hydraulic systems, has a cylinder drum () rotatable about an axis of rotation () in a pump housing () and in which pistons () are arranged axially movable. The actuating ends of the pistons are accessible from outside of the cylinder drum () and are supported at least indirectly on a swash plate (). In order to set the stroke of the pistons () and the fluid system pressure generated, the swash plate can be swiveled to the desired angle of inclination relative to the axis of rotation () by an adjustment device (), which has at least one swiveling lever () that can be deflected and returned in at least one direction by an actuator and that each has in at least one hydraulically actuated actuating cylinder () one actuating piston () acting on one end on an articulation point () of the swivel lever (). One actuating piston () has at its end, facing away from the articulation point (), a guide surface (), which is an integral part of the actuating piston () and is in contact with an assigned guide surface () of the actuating cylinder (). At least one compensator () is orients the guide surfaces () in their respective positions relative to each other.
