Abstract

A hydrostatic assembly including a primary pump formed by a swash plate type axial piston engine and at least one coaxial secondary pump formed by a swash plate type axial piston engine. An elongated input shaft extends through the primary pump and is non-rotatably connected to the cylindrical drum of the primary pump. A control base is axially aligned with the cylindrical drum of the primary pump and forms a control surface opposite the closed end of the cylindrical drum of the primary pump. A recess is formed in the control base and the secondary pump is at least partially located in the recess and is non-rotatably connected to the elongated input shaft so that the secondary pump drives the primary pump.
