Abstract

A piston and slipper arrangement for a hydraulic pump or motor includes a tortuous fluid flow passage through the piston to a fluid pressure recess in the thrust face of the slipper at the opposite end of the piston. The fluid passage is formed by a plurality of spaced, cylindrical pockets interconnected by restricted flow channels which tangentially join the pockets.
