The purpose of this study is to explain the loss mechanism between piston shoe and swash plate of axial piston units and to derive new presuppositions for developing a new unit or improving an existing one. The film thickness was measured at constant pressure to find out the correlation between speed and the drag flow effect. The behavior of the film thickness between piston shoe and swash plate in the real unit was described through combining a squeeze-film-effect with a drag flow effect.
