Pump having a unitary body
In an embodiment, a pump includes a pump housing formed as a singular body. The pump housing may include a mounting feature adjacent a first end of the pump housing. The mounting feature may be configured for mounting the pump relative to a prime mover. A drive system cavity may be formed in the first end of the pump housing, and sized to receive at least a portion of an axial drive system. A pump cylinder may extend inwardly into the pump housing from the drive system cavity. A piston guide plate may be configured to be affixed within the drive system cavity. The piston guide plate includes a piston guide associated with the pump cylinder. The piston guide may be configured to at least partially receive a pump piston therethrough for facilitating alignment and axial movement of a pump piston within the pump cylinder.

VARIABLE STROKE PUMP
A variable stroke high pressure pump is disclosed. The pump uses a wobble plate design with dynamically variable tilt to provide continuous adjustment of pump stroke length and output. Dynamically variable tilt is accomplished using a linearly actuated tilt thruster rotationally coupled to the drive shaft to maintain a selected tilt of the wobble plate through the rotation of the wobble plate.

CRADLE BEARING AND CRADLE BEARING SUPPORT
A cradle bearing for supporting a swashplate of a variable hydraulic axial piston. The cradle bearing is of an angular ball bearing type or includes, with respect to the bearing axis, a tapered inner race and/or a tapered outer race. A swashplate for a variable hydraulic axial piston unit including a first and a second cradle bearing zone spaced to each other in axial direction of a swashplate tilt axis, suitable for supporting the swashplate in a housing of a variable hydraulic axial piston unit, wherein the first cradle bearing zone is inclined with respect to the swashplate tilt axis. A variable hydraulic axial piston unit of the swashplate type including a swashplate which is supported rotatable in the housing of the variable hydraulic axial piston unit at a first bearing zone by a tapered bearing and at a second bearing zone by regular cylindrical cradle bearing or a journal bearing whose axis is aligned with the swashplate tilt axis.

Electric power and thermal management system
Disclosed herein is an electric power and thermal management system in which, when a shaft is rotated due to an operation of a power part, generation of electric power and a circulation of a fluid are performed together so that the generation of the electric power and a circulation structure of oil are integrated, and thus a layout can be reduced, and a structure can be simplified. In addition, in a state in which the generation of the electric power and the circulation structure of the oil are integrated, a circulation amount of the oil is adjusted according to an angle of an inclined plate constituting a pumping mechanism so that an oversupply of the oil to parts through which the oil is circulated can be prevented.
