Talk:Axial piston pump

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Closely resembles swashplate engine

I was copyediting the swashplate engine article, and thought if that could be operated in reverse as a pump; so I found this article. Are axial piston pumps and swashplate engines exactly the same thing? If so, should these articles be merged or should information about use as a motor on this article moved to swashplate engine? For now, i've added a "see also" link for both articles in order to help both readers and editors find these two related articles. SGJ 12:26, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Start at the beginning

In Wikipedia the Hydraulics is not described very good. One should start at the beginning with "hydraulics". Subsequnetly pumps motors cylinders etc

Subsequently axial pistonpumps, gearpumps etc

Subsequently adjustable pumps like adjustable axial pistonpumps etc etc Jeff 12:24, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
