A fluid power apparatus for converting steam to hydraulic energy having one or more pairs of linear steam and linear hydraulic cylinders arranged symmetrically and with their axis parallel about a steam generator. The rod ends of the cylinders are connected to a wobble plate. Valving directs steam in and out of the steam cylinders and as the steam cylinders reciprocate, the corresponding hydraulic cylinders will be reciprocated generating hydraulic fluid pressure. Valving is accomplished by valving plates rotated by the wobble plate or by means of a slide valve positioned by a wobble plate actuated linkage.
