Abstract
A hydrostatic axial piston machine with a swashplate construction formed with an axially short construction. The cylinder block has a plurality of bores received in movable pistons. The pistons are each supported by respective slippers through a slipper joint on a swashplate. The center points of the slipper joints are located in a plane, the intersection point of the plane with the axis of rotation of the cylinder block is in an end surface of the cylinder block that contains the piston exit openings or in an area of the cylinder block that is adjacent to the end surface. The cylinder block is rotationally mounted in the vicinity of the intersection point of the plane with the axis of rotation. The center points of all the slipper joints are preferably located inside the axial extension of the bores in the cylinder block so that transverse piston forces are absorbed direction in the cylinder block. The slipper joints may be connected by a connecting rod with the corresponding slipper. The cylinder block may include an external bearing system connected with a centrally located torque rod.
