A swash plate type liquid-pressure rotating device includes a movement restricting mechanism configured to restrict a movement of a spherical bushing relative to a rotating shaft toward a first side in an axial direction. The movement restricting mechanism is a restricting member such that a portion of the spherical bushing which portion is located at the first side in the axial direction contacts the restricting member. The swash plate type liquid-pressure rotating device further includes: a stopper attached to the rotating shaft; and a gap adjusting member. The gap adjusting member is inserted into a gap G3 formed between the stopper and the bearing when the spherical bushing, the retainer plate, the shoe, and the swash plate tightly contact one another in the axial direction. The gap adjusting member restricts a movement of the rotating shaft relative to the casing toward the first side in the axial direction.

An axial variable displacement piston pump includes a drive shaft disposed on an axis, a piston barrel comprising a plurality of pistons disposed about the drive shaft, and a swash plate disposed about the drive shaft. Each of the piston barrel and the swash plate are rotationally coupled to the drive shaft such that the drive shaft is configured to simultaneously drive rotation of each of the piston barrel and the swash plate.
