Dynamic lubrication characteristics between a piston and a cylinder in an axial piston pump and motor have been calculated under mixed-lubrication conditions. The calculated results have shown that half-frequency whirling of the piston occurs under some operating conditions and specifications such as low supply pressure, narrow clearance and long sealing length between the piston and the cylinder, in a manner similar to the oil whirl phenomenon in journal bearings. The whirl phenomenon has been confirmed by measurements of piston motion.
