Hydraulic machine having axial user ports

A hydraulic machine comprising:

• a housing,
• a rotor rotatably mounted in said housing, said rotor having outer teeth,
• a shaft to which said rotor is fixedly mounted for rotation therewith,
• an outer gear rotatably mounted having inner teeth for cooperation with said outer teeth of said rotor, said housing being adapted to support said outer gear from the outside,
• a commutator mounted sideways with respect to said rotor and said outer gear with a control disc therebetween, said commutator having a plurality of control slots, said control slots forming a first group and second group, said commutator being stationary with respect to said housing,
• supply and discharge bores provided in said control disc,
• a control housing for receiving said commutator and mounted to said control housing,
• a first ring chnanel and a second ring channel axially spaced in said control housnig, said first and second ring channels extending radially and surrounding said commutator,
• user ports disposed in said control housing,
• wherein said commutator is configured to allow said user ports to extend from said housing in an axial or radial direction.
