A bent-axis type variable displacement hydraulic machine provided with one of a hydrostatic radial bearing and a hydrostatic thrust bearing to support hydraulic reaction forces exerted on a cylinder block. The hydraulic machine is adapted to draw out a high oil pressure corresponding to a tilt angle of the cylinder block through a variable throttle means or through a control valve, and to supply the pressure of the hydrostatic radial or thrust bearing to thereby impart a hydrostatic supporting capacity commensurate with a tilt angle of the cylinder block and stably support a rotational shaft while minimizing oil leaks.
