Abstract
In a swash-plate type hydrostatic piston engine, a drive unit (10) and a swash plate (17) are received by a pot-shaped housing (1b). According to the invention, the pot-shaped housing (1b) is configured such that it is able to receive drive units (10a, 10b) of at least two rated quantities of a specific product series of the hydrostatic piston engine.
Claims16
A hydrostatic piston engine comprising:
- a drive unit having a rated quantity;
- a swash plate;
- a housing configured to accommodate the drive unit, the housing comprising a top end defining a top opening through which the drive unit is received in the housing, the housing further comprising a bottom end opposite to the top end;
- and
- a lid-shaped bearing flange releasably attached to the top end of the housing for closing the top opening of the housing, the lid-shaped bearing flange having an inner surface on which a bearing shell is provided, the swash plate being arranged on the bearing shell, such that the swash plate can be assembled from the top opening of the housing;
- a driving shaft rotatably mounted in the housing, the driving shaft being connected fixedly in terms of rotation to the drive unit and penetrating the housing in a through-hole in a manner which is outwardly sealed,
- wherein the drive unit is formed by a cylinder drum connected fixedly in terms of rotation to the driving shaft, the cylinder drum comprising a piston bore in which a piston is mounted for reciprocal movement, the piston being axially supported on the swash plate,
- wherein an auxiliary pump is arranged in a region of the housing opposing the drive unit, and wherein, for mounting auxiliary pumps of different depths, corresponding lids with different axial offsets are provided.
