Abstract
A hydraulic axial piston machine (1) is disclosed, having a cylinder drum (3) with at least one cylinder (4), in which a piston (5) is arranged to move back and forth, which piston bears by way of a slider shoe (7) against a swash plate (8), wherein a pressure plate (9) is provided which holds the slider shoe (7) in contact with the swash plate (8) and is supported against the cylinder drum (3) by way of a ball-and-socket joint (10) comprising a ball-like body (12) and a counterpart (13). In such an arrangement, one would like to avoid weakening the pressure plate by the ball-and-socket joint. To that end, a part of the ball-and-socket joint (10) is provided with a supporting surface (17) which extends substantially parallel to the surface of the pressure plate (9) and by means of which this element (12) lies in face-to-face contact with the pressure plate (9).
