Abstract

A hydraulic unit has a drive shaft (52) mounted in a manifold block (54) and coupled to a torque plate (80) on a central axis. A bent axis motive unit (60) has a yoke connected to the manifold block supported for rotation on the yoke. Hollow pistons (100) in cylinders in the cylinder block allow fluid to flow through a torque plate into and form the manifold without the necessity for passing fluid through an articulating member that pivots the cylinder block.
