The lubrication states of piston-cylinder pairs were the key to determining the service life of axial piston pumps. Therefore, a textured piston-cylinder pair was proposed to reduce the failure risk of oil film under low-pressure stroke. A textured lubrication model for piston-cylinder pairs was established based on a dynamic node mesh to address the variable support length of piston. Besides, the pressure equation was discretized by using a finite difference method, the pressure and thickness distribution of oil films were obtained by a double-layer cycle of film pressure and eccentricity. The influences of working parameters and texture parameters on lubrication characteristics were analyzed. The results show that the greater the texture radius and texture area ratio, the better the antifriction effectiveness, and the order of the effect in reducing friction(from high to low) is: texture area ratio, texture radius, texture depth. Both increasing the texture radius and decreasing the texture depth may enhance the bearing capacity of oil film, and a texture area ratio of 30% has higher adaptability. Combined with loading test, the maximum reduction in friction coefficient of textured specimen compared to that of non-textured specimen is as 29.8%. The results may provide some references for frictional design of axial piston pumps.
