Axial piston machine with valve slides integrated into the connector plate

An axial piston machine, comprising:

• a housing;
• a driveshaft mounted rotatably in the housing relative to a first axis of rotation via at least one pivot bearing;
• a cylinder drum configured to rotate relative to a second axis of rotation and disposed in rotational drive connection with the driveshaft;
• a set piston received linearly movably in the housing in a direction of an adjusting axis, the set piston disposed in entraining connection with the cylinder drum such that a pivot angle between the first and second axes of rotation is adjustable, the housing having a first fluid port and a second fluid port that are connected to the cylinder drum such that a rotation of the cylinder drum involves a fluid flow between the first and second fluid ports when the pivot angle is different from zero;
• a control valve arranged coaxially to the adjusting axis;
• a first valve slide that is linearly movable in a direction of a first valve axis the first valve slide having a first end connected to the first fluid port and a second end connected to the second fluid port, the first valve slide having a central region that defines a control point and being configured such that a lower of pressures from a pressure at the first fluid port and a pressure at the second fluid port is connected to the control point, the control point connected via a fixed first throttle and further via a second throttle to an interior of the housing;
• and
• a second valve slide that is linearly movable in a direction of a second valve axis and configured to adjust the second throttle via movement of the second valve slide, the second valve slide acted upon by (i) a pressure at the control point in an opening direction of the second throttle and (ii) a first spring in a closing direction of the second throttle,
• wherein the first valve axis is (i) arranged in the direction of the adjusting axis between the set piston and the control valve or in a region of the control valve and (ii) oriented transverse to the adjusting axis.
