Hydrostatic axial piston machine

A hydrostatic axial piston machine, comprising:

• a pot-like housing that has a housing base and a housing jacket, the housing jacket defining an open side of the pot-like housing;
• a connection plate that closes the pot-like housing at the open side;
• a rotatably mounted cylinder drum that is located in an interior formed by the housing and the connection plate, the cylinder drum having a plurality of cylinder chambers;
• and
• a plurality of pistons arranged respectively in the cylinder chambers of the cylinder drum, the pistons configured to execute a stroke movement during operation,
• wherein each cylinder chamber is configured to be alternately connected via a cylinder chamber opening to a low-pressure control opening and a high-pressure control opening of a resting control part at which two switching regions, within which a respective piston reverses its movement direction in a dead center, are located between the low-pressure control opening and the high-pressure control opening, and
• wherein, in the switching region, the cylinder chambers are configured to be connected via a connecting line to a fluid volume located in the interior, the fluid volume extending between the connection plate and the housing such that the fluid volume is sealed to the interior by the connection plate and the housing.
