An axial piston micropump is disclosed, having a cylinder drum, in which
several cylinders are provided a swash plate, with respect to which the
cylinder drum is rotatable. It is desirable for such a micropump to have
a small displacement combined with a long service life and in which the
displacement or delivery volume can be achieved with great accuracy. For
that purpose, at least two cylinders are provided, of which at least one
is in the form of a working cylinder which has an associated working
piston, while at least one other cylinder is in the form of a balance
cylinder and has an associated balance piston.
