This article deals with study of contact pressure/gap distribution on a bolted joint of ahydrostatic transmission. The study was performed via numerical analyses with support of ANSYS afinite element method software package. The main focus in the results evaluation is aimed onevaluation of the contact pressure/gap on the bolted joint after tightening individual bolts and afterapplying operational loads on the hydrostatic unit. Operational loads in the analyses wererepresented by applying of an operational pressure into the individual areas of the unit. Theoperational pressure was applied in two time steps of the Finite Element Method analysis to simulatenormal and reverse mode of the hydrostatic transmission. Numerical results were verified throughexperimental measurements carried out by using FujiFilm tests.
