Patent ID: 8764297

Claim:
An adjustable axial piston machine comprising: a housing; and a bearing shell which is arranged on the housing and has an annular-section-shaped bearing section with an inner end and at least one bearing shell region which extends in a plane and has an outer end, wherein a bearing surface which corresponds in its geometry to the bearing section is provided on the housing, wherein an outer supporting force point lies at the outer end, and an inner supporting force point lies at the inner end of the bearing shell end region on a straight line which extends tangentially to the bearing section at the inner supporting force point, and wherein the inner supporting force point and the outer supporting force point are subjected to a supporting force essentially parallel to the straight line when a force is present in the circumferential direction of the bearing section and wherein when a force is present in the circumferential direction of the bearing section, the bearing shell is supported on the housing by means of the outer supporting force point.
