An axial piston pump includes a housing with a cover plate assembly, a rotor with reciprocable pistons rotatably mounted with a drive shaft and a swashplate assembly tiltably mounted relative to the drive shaft and engaged with outer ends of the pistons. A holddown spring is incorporated within the swashplate assembly and positioned outside the rotor such that the holddown spring tilts with the swashplate assembly and does not rotate with the drive shaft. The holddown spring applies a force holding the piston outer ends against the swashplate assembly and the rotor against the cover plate assembly.

The invention relates to a hydraulic device having, in a housing, a rotor, which can rotate about a first axis, with pistons and chambers on both sides of the rotor, which can rotate about a second axis and are formed by a cylindrical wall and a piston. The cylindrical walls are rotatable about a second axis (m1 and m2) and the first axis, such that, during rotation of the rotor, the volumes of the rotor chambers on one side of the rotor and the rotor chambers on the other side of the rotor alternatively have a minimum value.

A positive displacement hydraulic pump/motor assembly (1) includes a rotary cylinder block (3) having a central axis (5) and a generally circular array of cylinders (6) disposed in parallel relationship around the axis. A corresponding plurality of axial pistons (10) is reciprocably disposed within the respective cylinders. A drive shaft (12) effects rotation of the cylinder block about the central axis and a drive plate (15) is disposed at one end of the cylinder block (3) to effect sequentially staggered reciprocation of the pistons (10) in response to rotation of the cylinder block. A stationary valve plate (20) is disposed at an opposite end of the cylinder block. The valve plate (20) includes a valve face (21) adapted for sliding rotational engagement with a complementary mating face (22) formed on the cylinder block. The valve plate further includes at least one inlet port (24) adapted for fluid communication with a source of hydraulic fluid and at least one outlet port (26) adapted for fluid communication with an hydraulic load. The ports (24, 26) are disposed such that in use, hydraulic fluid is progressively drawn into the cylinders in sequence as the respective pistons are displaced away from the valve plate and subsequently expelled from the cylinders as the pistons are progressively displaced toward the valve plate. The pump/motor assembly further includes lift-off means in the form of an hydraulic lift-off piston (40) and cylinder (41), selectively operable to displace the cylinder block marginally away from the valve plate, thereby to minimise rotational resistance between the respective mating valve faces (21, 22) under predetermined operational conditions. The pump/motor assembly is adapted for incorporation into an energy management system operable in a driving mode, a braking mode and a neutral motor to provide supplementary drive from regenerative braking in a vehicle.

The hydraulic apparatus may either be a quiet hydrostatic drive with an axial piston pump and an axial piston motor or may be a quiet pump unit formed by two axial piston pumps. In either case, the apparatus includes two rotatable cylinder blocks disposed on opposite sides of a rotationally stationary valve block and tied together by a rod which transmits forces between the two cylinder blocks so that any force tending to unseat one cylinder block from the valve block tends to seat the other cylinder block against the valve block. A resiliently yieldable sealing ring on one end portion of the rod defines a pressure chamber which receives oil at working pressure to automatically increase and decrease the axial clearance between the cylinder blocks and the valve block as the working pressure increases and decreases, respectively.

A hydrostatic pump or motor unit having a rotating cylinder biased into contact with a valve surface in proportion to separating forces to maintain sealing contact without excessive pressure. In an axial piston type hydrostatic unit, the rotating cylinder block engaging a fixed annular valve plate and the swash plate reciprocate the pistons in the cylinders to deliver fluid from the cylinders through the valve plate. A biasing motor between the cylinder block and a member axially fixed relative to the valve plate and a control system to provide a biasing control pressure provides a biasing force varying as a function of the separating force between the valve plate and cylinder block. In one arrangement the biasing motor has an internal cylindrical surface on the cylinder block and an external cylindrical surface on a fixed portion of the housing with a pair of annular pistons therebetween, one engaging in abutment on the cylinder block and the other engaging in abutment on the fixed housing portion to form a motor chamber supplied with biasing control pressure fluid to provide an auxiliary bias proportional to this pressure. In another arrangement the inner cylindrical surface is formed on the shaft rotating with the cylinder block. The biasing control system in one modification provides a biasing pressure proportional to speed and in another modification proportional to speed, power system pressure and displacement. A one or two step speed governor is mounted in the cylinder block.
