Abstract
Recently, bent-axis-type axial piston pumps driven by rods being in extensively used in the world, because of simple design, lightweight, effective cost. So, to guarantee the quality of bent-axis-type axial piston pumps driven by rods, it is necessary to know characteristics of the driving mechanism of rods. But, as they perform both reciprocating and spinning motions, it is difficult to understand driving mechanism. In this paper, I studied the theoretical driving mechanisms of cylinder block driven by rods through geometric method. I found that the cylinder block was driven by one rod in limited area and the driving area was changed by rod's tilting angle and cylinder block's swivel angle.
