A hydrostatic variable displacement unit is provided having a swash plate which serves to adjust the stroke of displacement pistons in a cylinder block and can be pivoted in its angular position by means of a servo system, the servo system having at least one servo piston with two servo-piston end surfaces which are in each case assigned a servo cylinder and a servo-piston rear surface, and the servo cylinders, by means of the assigned servo-piston end surfaces, in each case bounding a servo-cylinder pressure space. The servo piston is acted upon by a spring arrangement having at least one spring arranged outside the servo-cylinder pressure space and clamped between two spring plates. The two spring plates are acted upon by the springs in the direction of a stop of the particular servo cylinder that is situated on its side such that in the neutral position, the spring plates bear against the servo-piston rear surfaces and against the stop of the particular servo cylinder.
