Abstract

An end part of a piston on a front edge side is formed so as to have a crowning of a 1.2-order to 2.5-order curve where a length is 10% or more and 80% or less of a length of a cylindrical part and a height is 10% or more and 160% or less of a clearance. An end part of a cylinder block on a front edge side is formed so as to have a crowning of a 1.2-order to 2.5-order curve where a length is 8% or more and 60% or less of the length of a cylindrical part and a height is 12% or more and 125% or less of the clearance.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A piston of an axial piston pump motor comprising:
a cylindrical part having an outer circumferential surface which is slide-fitted to an inner circumferential surface of a piston chamber of a cylinder block so as to be capable of advancing and retreating with a clearance between the outer circumferential surface and the inner circumferential surface, wherein
crowning processing has been performed on a protrusion end part situated on a side protruding from the piston chamber in an axial direction of the outer circumferential surface so as to form, in a cross section in the axial direction of the outer circumferential surface, a 1.2-order to 2.5-order curve within a range in which a length is 10% or more and 80% or less of a length of the cylindrical part and a height is 10% or more and 160% or less of the clearance in case of using a front edge of the protrusion end part as a standard, and
a tilt angle of the end part subjected to the crowning processing is within a range of 0° or more and less than 1°.

2. An axial piston pump motor comprising:
a housing;
a cylinder block which is accommodated in the housing and connected to an output shaft, the cylinder block having a plurality of piston chambers; and
the piston of the axial piston pump motor according to claim 1 , wherein
a length subjected to the crowning processing is a length equal to or longer than a length of the outer circumferential surface of the piston protruding from the piston chamber at a bottom dead center.

3. An axial piston pump motor comprising:
a housing;
a cylinder block which is accommodated in the housing and connected to an output shaft, the cylinder block having a plurality of piston chambers; and
the piston of the axial piston pump motor according to claim 1 , wherein
crowning processing has been performed on an insertion end part situated on a side inserted into the piston chamber in an axial direction of the outer circumferential surface of the piston so as to form, in the cross section, a 1.2-order to 2.5-order curve within a range in which a length is 10% or more and 60% or less of the length of the cylindrical part and a height is 10% or more and 160% or less of the clearance in case of using a rear edge of the insertion end part as a standard,
a tilt angle of the insertion end part subjected to the crowning processing is within a range of 0° or more and less than 1°, and
a length of the insertion end part subjected to the crowning processing is a length which is 0.1 times or more and 0.5 times or less as long as a length of the outer circumferential surface of the piston protruding from the piston chamber at a bottom dead center.

4. The piston of an axial piston pump motor according to claim 1 , wherein crowning processing has been performed on an insertion end part situated on a side inserted into the piston chamber in the axial direction of the outer circumferential surface so as to form, in the cross section, a 1.2-order to 2.5-order curve within a range in which a length is 10% or more and 60% or less of the length of the cylindrical part and a height is 10% or more and 160% or less of the clearance in case of using a rear edge of the insertion end part as a standard.

5. A cylinder block of an axial piston pump motor comprising:
a plurality of piston chambers disposed at intervals from one another in a circumferential direction of an output shaft, each of the piston chambers having an inner circumferential surface, into which a cylindrical part of a piston is inserted with a clearance so as to be capable of advancing and retreating, wherein
crowning processing has been performed on an end part situated on an insertion side of the piston in the inner circumferential surface of each of the piston chambers so as to form, in a cross section in an axial direction of the inner circumferential surface, a 1.2-order to 2.5-order curve in a range in which a length is 8% or more and 60% or less of a length of the cylindrical part and a height is 12% or more and 125% or less of the clearance in case of using a front edge on the side, into which the piston is inserted, as a standard, and
a tilt angle of the end part subjected to the crowning processing is within a range of 0° or more and less than 1°.
