Abstract

A hydrostatic axial piston machine ( 1 ), in particular an axial piston motor, has a rotating cylinder block ( 3 ) with a cylinder block body ( 3 a ) and a cylinder block neck ( 3 b ), and a drive shaft ( 14 ). Located in the cylinder block body ( 3 a ) are a plurality of piston bores ( 4 ) with pistons ( 5 ) that can move longitudinally and which are supported on a swashplate ( 7 ). Between the cylinder block neck ( 3 b ) which projects from the cylinder block body ( 3 a ) and extends in the direction of the swashplate ( 7 ) and the drive shaft ( 14 ) there is a synchronization gearing ( 20 ) and a braking device ( 25 ) that acts on the cylinder block ( 3 ). In the vicinity of the cylinder block neck ( 3 b ) within the axial dimension of the cylinder block body ( 3 a ), there is an additional synchronization gearing ( 21 ). The additional synchronization gearing ( 21 ) has a larger gear tooth clearance (S F ) in the vicinity of the cylinder block body ( 3 a ) than the synchronization gearing ( 21 ) in the vicinity of the cylinder block neck ( 3 b ).

Claims (33)

1. A hydrostatic axial piston machine, comprising:

a rotational cylinder block comprising a cylinder block body and a cylinder block neck, wherein the cylinder block body includes a plurality of piston bores with pistons that are moveable longitudinally in the bores and are supported on a swashplate;
