A thin valve plate for use in an axial piston hydraulic unit wherein valve plate ports are provided with slot shaped extensions passing through the valve plate to provide limited initial fluid communication between cylinder block ports and valve plate ports and wherein the thickness of the valve plate is no greater than one half the width of the slots. Furthermore, such valve plate facilitates economical manufacture wherein the slots and valve plate ports can be stamped in a hardened steel disk. |
