Patent ID: 8167580

Claim:
An axial piston machine, comprising: a housing, which receives an eccentric disk and a rotatably mounted cylinder drum with cylinders and pistons, the pistons being reciprocatable in the cylinders, the ends of the pistons projecting from the cylinders being supported via sliding blocks against a sliding surface on the eccentric disk, and a holding-down device, by which the sliding blocks are held in abutment with the sliding surface, wherein a pressure prevailing in a pressure chamber creates a pressing force under the sliding blocks, adjacent a throttling point, and partially compensates for a force that is exerted by the holding-down device on the sliding blocks through a hydraulic pressure between an annular seating surface of the sliding blocks and a support surface of the holding-down device, wherein the throttling point comprises a connection throttle in the sliding blocks, the connection throttle being connected to a groove between the holding-down device and the sliding blocks, and wherein the annular seating surface is provided between the connection throttle and the groove on the sliding blocks.
