  • the return spring, the damping piston act that this pressure fluid from the pressure fluid reservoir via the Check valve and, if necessary, the throttle element as soon as the damping piston is in Direction of an increase in the volume of the damping cylinder is freely movable. This ensures that the damping cylinder is instantly filled with pressurized fluid is refilled and thus the swiveling movement of the swashplate or swashplate immediately follows.
  • the pressure medium reservoir can be a leakage fluid collecting space according to claim 4 be in the vicinity of the damping element, the leakage fluid collecting space usually through the housing interior of the axial piston machine is formed.
  • the swash plate or swash plate can be a first according to claim 5 Swivel position with a larger angle of inclination and a second swivel position have a smaller angle of inclination and between these two Be swiveling back and forth.

  • the return spring holds the damping piston on the Swash plate according to claim 10 or on the stationary counterpart according to claim 8 on surcharge.
  • the swash plate can also according to claim 11 on the side facing away from the piston Side have a first and a second stop surface, each having a stop for form the first and second swivel positions of the swash plate.
  • FIG. 1 and 2 show an axial longitudinal section through an only partially shown, Axial piston machine 1 developed according to the invention.
  • the in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 Axial piston machine 1 shown by way of example is designed in a swashplate design and comprises a cylinder block 2, in which several, evenly on a pitch circle Distributed cylinder bores 3, 4 are provided.
  • pistons 5, 6 are arranged movably.
  • the cylinder bores 3, 4 are over Connection channels 7, 8 with the kidney-shaped control openings 9, 10 of a stationary Control disc 11 connected.
  • the cylinder block 2 rotates about the cylinder block axis 12, see above that the cylinder bores 3, 4 cyclically with one at the control opening 9 connected, not shown low pressure line and one at the control opening 10 connected, not shown high pressure line can be connected.
  • the pistons 5, 6 are formed into spherical heads 13, 14 at the ends facing away from the control disk 11, the sliding shoes 17, 18 assigned by the pistons 5, 6 in spherical bearings 15, 16 are stored.
  • the pistons 5, 6 are designed as hollow pistons and each have one Piston recess 19, 20 on.
  • the piston recesses 19, 20 are over Connecting channels 21, 22 of the pistons 5, 6 and further via connecting channels 23, 24 of the Sliding shoes 17, 18 for hydrostatic relief with on the sliding shoes 17, 18 provided pressure pockets connected.
  • the pistons 5, 6 are supported by the sliding shoes 17, 18 on a sliding surface 26 Swashplate 25 from.
  • the swash plate 25 is pivotable about a pivot axis 27 mounted and has a first stop surface 28 on the side facing away from the pistons 5, 6 and a second stop surface 29. If the swash plate, as shown in Fig. 1, is in contact with a stationary counterpart 30 on its first stop surface 28 Swash plate or its sliding surface 26 with a first, relatively large angle of inclination inclined with respect to the cylinder block axis 12. If the swash plate, as in Fig.
  • the swash plate or its sliding surface 26 is opposite the cylinder block axis 12 with a second, smaller than the first angle of inclination Inclination angle inclined to the cylinder block axis 12.
  • the inclination of the Swash plate 25 is therefore in the embodiment between two discrete Swivel positions by means of a swivel device which is only indicated schematically 31 can be swung back and forth.

  • the damping piston 40 is also by means of a in the damping cylinder 42 arranged return spring 43 on the stationary Counterpart 30 brought to the plant.
  • the stationary counterpart 30 can e.g. act as a housing end plate.
  • the damping cylinder 42 is over a Check valve 44 and an inlet channel 45 with which the swash plate 25 and Cylinder block 2 surrounding housing interior 46 connected as a leakage fluid collection space serves and is filled accordingly with leakage fluid.

  • the damping piston 40 is by means of Return spring 43 held on the stationary counterpart 30 in contact. Doing so Pressure fluid via the inlet channel 45 and the open check valve 44 and in parallel Via the throttle element 47 from the housing interior 46 filled with leakage fluid sucked in.
  • the damping cylinder 42 is filled via the inlet channel 45 and the check valve 44 so quickly that the damping piston 40 on the stationary Counterpart 30 is kept in constant investment.
  • the Swiveling process therefore slightly delayed and a continuous, not abrupt Swiveling movement of the swash plate 25 achieved.
