The present disclosure relates to an adjusting device for adjusting the swash plate of an axial piston machine comprising an adjusting piston, which is connected to the swash plate of the axial piston machine via an adjusting lever, and a regulator for adjusting the adjusting pressure acting on the adjusting piston in dependence on a control force acting on a control piston of the regulator, wherein the adjusting piston is connected to the control piston via a feedback spring. In accordance with the present disclosure the feedback spring is at least partly received in a pot-shaped recess of the control piston.

A radial piston hydraulic motor comprising a box frame with a cam ring connected thereto, pistons in a piston frame and press rollers in the pistons, which press rollers can be pressed by means of the pressure of a hydraulic fluid, such as hydraulic oil, against an inner surface of the cam ring. The piston frame comprises connections between the interior space and passages, and a shutter valve is provided within each connection for controlling the hydraulic fluid flow through the connection between the passages and the interior space. The shutter valve is arranged to allow hydraulic fluid to flow from the passage into the interior space, when the pressure in the working pressure inlet passage, in the return passage and in the interior space is equal, i.e. the motor is in free-rotating state.

An object is displaced alternately in opposite directions, using a hydraulic power unit having a rotatable body which includes the shaft of a hydraulic machine having electronically commutated valves. A motor drives the rotatable body. The hydraulic machine drives an actuator to displace the object in use. Energy is transformed from rotational kinetic energy of the rotatable body to elastic strain energy or elastic strain and gravitational potential energy of the object during a pumping phase and rotation of the rotatable body slows, but does not change direction. The potential energy then drives the hydraulic machine to motor and the rotatable shaft speeds up again, storing rotational kinetic energy. The displacement of the hydraulic machine is controlled throughout to match a time varying demand taking into account the varying speed of rotation of the rotatable shaft. The motor provides energy to compensate for losses and the process can repeat cyclically.

An axial piston machine of oblique axis design has a pivot angle that is adjustable via a set piston and a control valve and includes a first valve slide that is linearly movable relative to a first valve axis and is connected at two opposite ends to a first or a second fluid port. The first valve slide has a central region that defines a control point at which the lower of pressures at the first and second fluid ports act. The control point is connected via a fixed first throttle and a second throttle to a housing interior. A second valve slide that is linearly movable relative to a second valve axis is configured to adjust the second throttle. The first valve axis is arranged between the set piston and the control valve or a region of the control valve and is oriented transverse to the adjusting axis.
