Function
q The rotation and torque of the engine are
transmitted to the shaft of this pump. Then, this
pump converts the rotation and torque into
hydraulic energy and discharges hydraulic oil
according to the load.
q It is possible to change the delivery by chang-
ing the swash plate angle.
Structure
q Cylinder block (7) is supported to shaft (1) by
spline (a), and shaft (1) is supported by the
front and rear bearings.
q The tip of piston (6) is a concave ball, and shoe
(5) is caulked to it to form one unit. Piston (6)
and shoe (5) form a spherical bearing.
q Rocker cam (4) has flat surface (A), and shoe
(5) is always pressed against this surface as it
slides in a circle. Rocker cam (4) also slides
around ball (11) using it as fulcrum.
q Piston (6) carries out relative movement in the
axial direction inside each cylinder chamber of
cylinder block (7).
q Cylinder block (7) carries out rotation relative
to valve plate (8) while sealing the pressurized
oil, and this surface ensures that the hydraulic
balance is maintained correctly.
q And oil in each cylinder chamber of cylinder
block (7) is available for suction or discharge
through valve plate (8).

Operation
1. Operation of pump q When center line (X) of rocker cam (4) is the
q Cylinder block (7) rotates together with shaft same as the axial direction of cylinder block (7)
(1) and shoe (5) slides on plane (A). At this [s wa s h pl at e an gle = 0], th e d iffer en ce
time, rocker cam (4) slants around ball (11), between volumes (E) and (F) inside cylinder
changing the angle of inclination (a) of the cen- block (7) is 0, so pump does not suck and dis-
ter line (X) of rocker cam (4) in the axial direc- charge, and no pumping is carried out. [The

rocker cam (4) and the axis of cylinder block to the pump delivery.
(7), plane (A) works as a cam for shoe (5).
q Accordingly, piston (6) slides inside cylinder
block (7) and a difference is made between
volumes (E) and (F) in cylinder block (7). As a
result, each piston (6) sucks and discharges oil
by (F) (E).
q In other words, cylinder block (7) rotates, and
the volume of chamber (E) becomes smaller,
so pressurized oil is discharged during this
process. At the same time, the volume of
chamber (F) becomes larger and the oil is
sucked in this process. [In the figure, chamber
(F) is at the end of the suction stroke and
chamber (E) is at the end of the discharge
stroke.]

2. Control of delivery
q If swash plate angle (a) is increased, the differ-
ence between volumes (E) and (F) is
increased, or delivery (Q) is increased. Swash
plate angle (a) is changed with servo piston
(10).
q Servo piston (10) reciprocates straight accord-
ing to the signal pressure of the servo valve.
This straight line motion is transmitted to
rocker cam (4). Then, rocker cam (4) sup-
ported on ball (11) sways around ball (11).
