    Abstract: The invention relates to a radial reciprocating engine (1) having cylinders (5) arranged in a cylinder carrier (16) and a piston element (21) arranged in each cylinder (5) that is connected to a guide element (22), wherein the guide element (22) runs on a slide surface (14), whereby a stroke movement is imposed on the piston element (21). Since the piston element (21) is spherical at least in the region of the piston element (21) which seals the inner walls (51) of the cylinder (5) during the stroke movements, a linear seal is created, which enables a more compact design in comparison to radial pumps with cylindrical piston elements.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining a present state of wear of a hydrostatic machine during the operation of the hydrostatic machine. The hydrostatic machine comprises a drive with variable rotational speed and a hydrostatic pump, wherein the drive is designed to drive the hydrostatic pump for generating a volume flow of a fluid, and wherein the hydrostatic machine is connected to a fluid transport channel in which the fluid is transported in a manner driven by the hydrostatic machine. The method has a step for determining a first torque of the drive at a specified drive vector. Furthermore, the method has a step for ascertaining a second torque of the drive at the specified drive vector using a first calculation method, and in addition, the method has a step for determining the present state of wear of the hydrostatic machine using a second calculation method, in order to compare the first determined torque and the second ascertained torque to one another.
