Popis: This paper details application of a DLC(Diamond Like Carbon)-coating to the swash plate and the ball joint of pistons that make sliding contact with the piston shoes of an axial piston pump. This process, aimed to reduce the frictional and leakage power losses of the hydrostatic piston shoe bearings at the low speed range. At lower speeds than 100rpm, the positive effects of the DLC-coating on the power loss reduction of the hydrostatic piston shoe bearings could be confirmed. These effects resulted in little improvement in volumetric efficiency of the test pump, but the mechanical efficiency could be raised by up to 5% at 100rpm; here, the DLC-coated swash plate played a more dominant role than the DLC-coated ball joint. * Corresponding author: yshong@kau.ac.kr 1 Aerospace & Mechanical Engineering, Korea Aerospace University, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do 412-791, Korea 2 Aerospace & Mechanical Engineering, Graduate School, Korea Aerospace University, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do 412-791, Korea Copyright C 2014, KSFC This is an Open-Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial License(http:// creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0) which permits unrestricted non-commercial use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. 기호 설명  : Balance ratio  : Inclination angle of swash plate,∘  : Piston diameter, mm  : Recess diameter, mm  : Piston shoe diameter, mm  : Friction force on piston, N  : Lift force on piston shoe, N  : Normal load on piston shoe, N  : Cylinder pressure, bar  : Recess pressure, bar  : Recess ratio()
