A swashplate-type axial piston machine includes a housing, a first pivot bearing received in the housing, a drive shaft rotatably mounted in respect of an axis of rotation, a cylinder drum, a control plate, a third control aperture in the plate, and a first channel arranged in the housing. The first pivot bearing delimits a first and second housing space from one another. The drum and the plate are arranged in the first housing space. The plate has at least a first and at least a second control aperture. The first aperture is in fluidic exchange connection with a first fluid connection on the housing. The second aperture is in fluidic exchange connection with a second fluid connection on the housing. The third aperture is arranged in the peripheral direction between a first and a second aperture. The first channel fluidically connects the third aperture to the second housing space.
