A housing of an axial piston device is provided with a drain port for discharging the retained oil to the outside and a supply oil passage for guiding lubricating oil, which has been supplied from an oil source, toward a first hydraulic axial piston member. The drain port is arranged so as to bring about such a retained-oil level that a second hydraulic axial piston member, which is disposed below the first hydraulic axial piston member, is partially or entirely immersed in the retained oil while the first hydraulic axial piston member is not immersed in the retained oil.

An accumulator membrane is disclosed. The accumulator membrane may include a generally cylindrical tube having a side wall with a first end a second end. A lip may be located at the first end, and may form a pocket with the side wall. An extension may protrude from the second end at an angle generally perpendicular to the lip and co-axial with the generally cylindrical tube.

In a piston including a plurality of piston rings, a state where a difference in differential pressure between the piston rings is eased is maintained even after passage of time, and the life of the piston rings is extended. A piston includes a piston body in which a plurality of ring grooves is formed, and a plurality of piston rings respectively arranged in the ring grooves. In the piston, a leakage groove is formed on a low-pressure side surface of the ring groove, and in a state where the piston ring is abutted with the low-pressure side surface while being abutted with a cylinder, the leakage groove ensures communication between a high-pressure side space and a low-pressure side space with respect to the piston ring.

A transmission includes a case, a clutch pack, a piston. The case defines a bore that transitions along a step from a first to a second diameter. The piston is disposed within the bore. The piston has first and second seals that engage the case along the first and second diameters, respectively. The piston defines a chamber that is encompassed by the piston, the case, the first seal, and the second seal. The piston is configured to engage a clutch pack when hydraulic fluid is channeled into the chamber.
