Abstract

A hydraulic axial piston machine is disclosed, with a cylinder drum (2), which has at least one cylinder (3), in which a piston (6) is mounted so as to be axially displaceable, and with a control counter-plate (11 ) which, on rotation of the cylinder drum (2) and the control counter-plate (11 ) relative to one another, connects the cylinder (3) in dependence upon its position with a fluid inlet (14) and a fluid outlet (15). With a machine of that kind, it is desirable to improve balancing out of the forces necessary for effecting a seal between the cylinder drum (3) and the control counter-plate (11). For that purpose, between the cylinder drum (2) and the control counter-plate (11 ) there is arranged a pressure plate (17) which engages the cylinder drum (2) via the intermediary of a spring element (21), the pressure plate (17) having a through-opening (20) associated with the cylinder (3), which through-opening is connected to the cylinder (3) in a fluid-tight manner.
