Abstract:
An inclined-axis variable displacement unit comprising an output shaft (1), mounted in a housing (4), and a cylinder block (10), the cylinder block (10) being connected to the output shaft (1) via a synchronizing articulation (18), and via working pistons (11) which can be displaced in the cylinder block (10), the cylinder block (10) being mounted in a pivoting body (5) which can be pivoted in relation to the axis of the output shaft (1) by an adjusting means, characterized in thatthe adjusting means is arranged on that side of the pivoting body (5) on which the output shaft is located; wherein the adjusting means comprises at least one pair of control pistons (12, 13), in each case the first control piston (12) being guided displaceably in a first control cylinder (16) and the respectively second control piston (13) being guided displaceably in a second control cylinder (17), the first control piston (12) being displaced in the opposite direction to the second control piston (13) during a rotation of the pivoting body (5); and wherein the pivoting body ends of the first and of the second control piston (12, 13) are connected to a cylinder segment (52) via first and second articulation connections (14, 15), said cylinder segment, in turn, being connected to the pivoting body (5).
