A hydraulic pump or motor having a rotor carrying radially disposed pistons. In one embodiment, the connection for introducing and withdrawing fluid at the rotor is made by manifolds which are in complemental, sliding contact against a surface of the rotor. Piston-like projections on the manifold are exposed to the pressurized fluid flowing through the apparatus to hold the manifolds in tight sealing engagement against the rotor surface. The effects of centrifugal force on the operation of the apparatus are minimized by mechanically securing the pistons against outward radial movement during high speed rotation, and by admitting and withdrawing fluid at locations relatively near the axis of rotation of the rotor. An alternate embodiment is disclosed which has a floating rotor so that the pressure of the operating fluid is used to effect a tight seal at the junction of the stationary and rotating components in the high pressure region.
