A pivot cradle bearing (1) having a pivoting element (2) which is mounted to pivot in a housing (3) is provided in which an inner bearing shell (7), on which rolling bodies (4) are rolling, is held on the pivoting element (2). The inner bearing shell (7) is held by rivets (10) in a form-fitting manner on the pivoting element (2) in the circumferential direction of the bearing shell (7).

The present invention relates to a hydraulic pump system including a variable displacement pump that generates an outlet pressure. The hydraulic pump system also includes a control system that decreases a displacement volume of the variable displacement pump in response to an increase in the outlet pressure and increases a displacement volume of the variable displacement pump in response to a decrease in the outlet pressure.

The present disclosure relates to an axial piston machine, such as a pump or motor. The axial piston machine, in on example, includes a pivotable displacement adjustment plate, the displacement adjustment plate having a first side supported by a first hydrostatic support arrangement and a second side supported by a second hydrostatic support arrangement. Further, in the axial piston machine one or both of the hydrostatic support arrangements include a large area support and a small area support which can be fluidly separated from each other.

An axial piston pump including a housing, a cylinder block, and a swash block. The cylinder block is rotatable within the housing about a vertical axis and includes an array of openings in the cylinder block distributed about the vertical axis and an array of pistons reciprocatably movable within the respective openings. The swash block is rotatable about an axis of rotation that is transverse to the vertical axis, and the degree of rotation is configured to control the extent of reciprocation of the pistons as the cylinder block rotates. The swash block has arc shape conical bearing surfaces tilted relative to the axis of rotation that are configured to guide movement of the swash block rotationally about the axis of rotation and prevent movement of the swash block axially along the axis of rotation.

A method for treating laundry in a laundry washing machine (1; 201; 301; 401) having: a washing tub (3) external to a rotatable perforated washing drum (4) configured to receive laundry; a water supply circuit (5) to supply water into the washing tub (3); a detergent supplier (60) to supply detergent (D) into the washing tub (3); a rinse additive supplier (70) to supply at least one rinse additive (S) into the washing tub (3); a first recirculation circuit (30) suitable for withdrawing liquid from the bottom region (3a) of the washing tub (3) and for re-admitting such a liquid into the bottom region (3a) of the washing tub (3). The method has a washing phase (120) during which the laundry is washed with introduction of water and detergent (D) into the washing tub (3) and tumbled by rotation of the washing drum (4), at least one successive draining phase (125) for draining liquid from the washing tub (3) and at least one following rinsing cycle (130a, 130b, 130n; 130′n; 230a, 230b, . . . , 230n) during which the laundry is treated with the rinse additive (S). The rinsing cycle (130n; 130′n; 230n) has the steps of: introducing (140; 140′; 240) a quantity (Qs) of rinse additive (S) into the washing tub (3); introducing (140; 140′; 240) a first quantity (Q1w) of water (W) into the washing tub (3); activating (141; 141′; 241) the first recirculation circuit (30) for withdrawing liquid from the washing tub (3) and re-admitting the liquid into the washing tub (3) in such a way that the rinse additive (S) is diluted with the first quantity (Q1w) of water (W) at the bottom region (3a) of the washing tub (3); introducing (142; 142′) the diluted rinse additive into the perforated washing drum (4) in order to be absorbed by said laundry.

In a piston pump assembly, cradle bearings support a swash plate on an inner surface of a housing assembly. The cradle bearing and/or the corresponding portion of the housing inner surface may have undercut portions allowing deflection of an inward portion of the cradle bearing when the swash plate is subjected to pressure forces from hydraulic fluid compressed within pump cylinders by the pump pistons. Deflection of the cradle bearings allows increased contact pressure to be further distributed across the engaging surfaces of the swash plates and the cradle bearings.
