Hydrostatic radial piston machine and piston for a hydrostatic radial piston machine

A hydrostatic radial piston machine, comprising:

• a cylinder block defining a plurality of cylinder bores;
• and
• a plurality of pistons guided radially displaceably in the respective cylinder bores and configured to delimit a working space in each case with the cylinder bore, the pistons being supported on a cam ring in each case via a roller such that they carry out a stroke in the case of a relative movement between the cam ring and the cylinder block,
• wherein the roller is mounted hydrostatically such that it is configured to be rotated on a roller cage configured approximately as a cylinder segment, and a hydrostatic pressure groove formed in a plain bearing face, the hydrostatic pressure groove being in pressure medium connection with the respective working space, and
• wherein the pressure groove is positioned in such a way that a gap which opens during operation of the radial piston machine between the outer circumference of the roller and the plain bearing face does not pass, or passes only insubstantially, in pressure medium connection with the pressure groove.
