Abstract:
1. An axial piston machine of a swashplate construction, comprising: work pistons located so that they can move longitudinally in a cylinder drum in a housing, which work pistons are each supported by a sliding block on a swashplate, wherein the sliding blocks are secured against lifting up from the swashplate by a retaining plate that rotates in rotational synchronization with the cylinder drum, wherein the retaining plate is fixed in position in an axial direction by a retaining device, and wherein the retaining device comprises a groove-shaped swashplate recess in the swashplate into which the retaining plate can be inserted, wherein the groove-shaped swashplate recess is located on an extension on an outside periphery of the swashplate, wherein the groove-shaped swashplate recess and the extension do not extend over the entire periphery but are continuous and end in an area above a longitudinal center plane of the housing, and wherein the groove-shaped swashplate recess has an opening configured to allow installation of the retaining plate by insertion of the retaining in a vertical direction into the groove-shaped swashplate recess.
