The article describes the influence of displacement of the swash plate rotation axis on the efficiency of axial piston pumps. The dead space volume was defined as the volume of the working chamber in the extreme position of the piston at the end of the pumping phase and its variability was determined as a function of the position of the axis of rotation of the swash plate and the swing angle of swash plate. The influence of swash plate rotation axis displacement on leaks between piston and cylinder was determined. It has been proven that displacement of the swash plate rotation axis reduces the dead space volume and leaks, thus improving the volumetric efficiency visible at small swash plate swing angles. The results of a comparative study of the volumetric and total efficiency of a modified design of a pump that allows the rotation axis to be repositioned are presented. The efficiency curves for the swash plate rotation axis crossing the shaft rotation axis and for the displaced swash plate axis of rotation are compared. The article also presents the author’s construction of an axial piston pump with displaced swash plate rotation axis with a follow-up mechanism of capacity change controlled by a stepper motor. The diagram and view of the test stand are shown, as well as the results of tests of volumetric and hydromechanical pump efficiency.
