The bachelor thesis contains basic information about hydrostatic pumps. In the first chapter, there is a basic dividing of hydraulic machines, it is followed by a brief charakteristic of the hydrostatic and hydrodynamic machines with their advantages and disadvantages. The main part is devoted to the hydrostatic pumps. At the beginning, there is dividing pumps, it is suplemented by principle operation of the individual types with transport parameteres, relations for calculating the geometric volume and with their advantages and disadvantages. At the end there are some basic formulas for calculating the hydrostatic pumps with their theoretical and real characteristics
