ABSTRACT:
Variable displacement axial piston pumps are useful in outputting pressurized fluid to operate fluid actuators. The currently available center pivoted variable displacement axial piston pumps waste energy by compressing trapped volumes of oil during operation. The present variable displacement axial piston pump has first and second opposite sides of a swash plate pivotally connected to a pump housing by a pair of off-center pivots with the angle of the swash plate being controlled by first and second actuators connected to the opposite sides of the swash plate. Each of the off-center pivots includes a pair of pivot pins connected to the housing and releasably pivotally seated in a pair of semi-cylindrical pockets formed in the opposite sides of the swash plate. The first actuator at the first side of the swash plate holds the semi-cylindrical pocket seated against the pivot pin while the second actuator controls pivotal movement of the swash plate about the first off-center pivot. The off-center pivots are preferably located such that the trapped volume of oil is minimized and remains substantially constant between the minimum and maximum displacement settings of the swash plate.
