An axial piston machine in a slanted axis design with constant displacement volume is disclosed. A tapping opening is arranged in the first reversing region, which can be brought into fluid exchange connection with one of the openings in each case by rotating the cylinder drum. The tapping opening is permanently connected to a pre-compression chamber via a connection channel, which runs completely in the housing. The pre-compression chamber is formed closed with the exception of the connection channel, wherein it is arranged completely in the housing.
