A valve plate of a hydraulic motor includes first and second pressure ports, and first and second oil grooves, the first and second pressure ports being alternately communicated with a cylinder bore in a cylinder block by bidirectional relative rotation in a state of being in contact with an end face of the cylinder block. Further, pad oil grooves communicating with the first oil groove and opened toward the end face of the cylinder block are provided in outer peripheral portions of the first and second pressure ports in a pad region, and the plurality of pad oil grooves is provided such that a proportion of an opening area to the end face of the cylinder block is larger at two end portions close to the second oil grooves than at a central portion separated from the second oil grooves in a circumferential direction of relative rotation.

A swashplate-type axial piston machine includes a housing and at least one working channel extending through a distributor plate. The at least one working channel opens out at an outside on the housing at an associated working port. The at least one working channel includes a first section and a second section. The first section extends over the entire distributor plate. The second section is arranged entirely in the housing. The second section directly adjoins the first section. A first rotary bearing has an outer circumferential surface that defines a circular cylindrical reference cylinder about the axis of rotation.

A hydrostatic axial piston machine includes a cylinder drum that rotates during operation and has a plurality of cylinder bores in which displacement pistons are arranged, each of which opens out in a control opening in one end face of the cylinder drum, and having a control part against which the cylinder drum bears with the end face and on which two kidney-shaped control ports in the form of circular arcs are provided. Between the two kidney-shaped control ports, a first changeover web and a second changeover web are formed, wherein two sets of compensating openings that are able to be overlapped by control openings are located in the changeover webs with one compensating opening of each set located in each changeover web, and the compensating openings in the two sets of compensating openings are connected together via respective compensating fluid paths.

A hydraulic pump motor includes: a cylinder block; a plurality of cylinder bores; a port block and a valve plate, the valve plate being provided with a high pressure port and a low pressure port, the port block being provided with a discharge oil passage and a suction oil passage, a piston disposed in each cylinder bore, and oil flowing through the discharge oil passage and the suction oil passage. Further, the valve plate is provided with a reproduction port at a bottom dead center side position, the port block is internally provided with a reproduction oil passage, and the reproduction oil passage passes through a first region on a side of the high pressure port of the virtual plane and passes through a second region on a side of the low pressure port of the virtual plane in the port block.

The at least one working channel opens out at an outside on the housing at an associated working port. The at least one working channel includes a first section and a second section.

A rotary displacement piston pump is disclosed having rotatable single or dual valve/port plate(s). The valve plate, being rotatable forward and/or rearward with respect to the rotation of the piston carrier, alters the phasing of the land area of the pumping action thereby altering the phasing of piston speed inasmuch as the land area can be moved to a position to accelerate the piston(s) in a pre or decompression phase. In this way, pump noise, from colliding pressure fronts within the respective high and low pressure plenums, can be “tuned” out of the pump by adjusting the phasing and position of the valve plate(s) and raising or lowering the pre and decompression pressure(s) as necessary. Pump volume can also be controlled by advancing or retarding the valve plate(s), either in or out of synch, so as to shorten intake/exhaust piston stroke and overlap fluid flow between respective intake/exhaust plenums.

A hydraulic drive device according to an embodiment includes a main pump and a single pressure gauge. The main pump controls discharge flow rates of a first hydraulic oil and a second hydraulic oil discharged into two or more first pressure oil supply passage and second pressure oil supply passage with a single swash plate. The main pump is a swash plate variable displacement type split flow hydraulic pump. The pressure gauge measures an intermediate pressure of the discharged fluid at a merging point between the first pressure oil supply passage and the second pressure oil supply passage. The discharge flow passage is controlled based on a pressure value obtained by the pressure gauge.

A hydraulic actuator includes a cylinder, a pump, an electric motor and a central block. The mechanism or the rotating parts of the pump are directly installed in an interior of the block, and the drive shaft of the pump is correspondingly mounted in walls or in covers of the block.
