Abstract

A hydraulic pump with two rotation directions has axial pistons bearing against a swashplate, the pump with a head having two chambers to be connected to a high-pressure circuit and to a low-pressure circuit. A port plate in the form of a flat plate is arranged between a rotary barrel and the head and has two identical ports passing through the thickness of the flat plate. The port plate pivots about an axis to be able to occupy two angular positions according to the direction of rotation of the pump. The pump has a hydraulic-control device for controlling the angular position of the port plate and is able automatically to bring about a change in angular position of the port plate when the direction of rotation of the pump is reversed, under the effect of a pressure differential between the two chambers of the head.
