1. Product Overview
TheA4VG Seriesis a high-pressure axial piston variable-displacement pump developed by Bosch Rexroth, typically integrated with a motor to form a hydraulic power unit. Its core function is to provide adjustable pressure and flow for hydraulic systems through a swashplate-type piston mechanism, driven by a motor.
Typical Applications:
• Construction Machinery: Excavators, cranes, concrete pump trucks
• Industrial Equipment: Injection molding machines, die-casting machines, metal rolling mills
• Agricultural Machinery: Combine harvesters, irrigation systems
• Marine & Offshore Engineering: Deck machinery, steering gear systems

4. Motor Matching Guidelines
1. Power Matching:
• Motor power must be ≥1.1× the pump’s input power (accounting for startup surge and efficiency losses).
• Example: Pump requires 110 kW → Select a 132 kW motor.
2. Speed Synchronization:
• Motor rated speed must overlap with the pump’s allowable range (typically 500–2500 rpm).
• Variable-frequency motors enable wider speed adjustment (e.g., 200–3000 rpm).
3. Mounting Interface:
• Verify motor output shaft dimensions match pump input shaft (e.g., ISO 450 or SAE J-series flanges).
• Alignment tolerance: Axial deviation ≤0.1 mm, radial deviation ≤0.05 mm.
4. Protection Rating:
• Outdoor/harsh environments: Motor IP55 + Pump IP65 (dust/waterproof).
• Explosion-hazard zones: ATEX-certified motors required.

5. Selection Steps
1. Define System Requirements:
• Maximum operating pressure (bar), flow rate (L/min), power (kW).
• Load type (constant/fluctuating), daily runtime.
2. Select Pump Model:
• Use the displacement formula:Q=V×n×ηv1000 Q = \frac{V \times n \times \eta_v}{1000} Q=1000V×n×ηv
(Q Q Q=flow,V V V=displacement,n n n=speed,ηv \eta_v ηv=volumetric efficiency≈0.95).
• Example: For 200 L/min flow → Select A4VG 90 (theoretical flow 213 L/min @1500 rpm).
3. Match Motor:
• Calculate input power:Pin=P×Q600×η P_{in} = \frac{P \times Q}{600 \times \eta} Pin=600×ηP×Q
(P P P=pressure,Q Q Q=flow,η \eta η=total efficiency≈0.9).
• Example: At 300 bar pressure requiring 200 L/min → Input power ≈111 kW → Select a 132 kW motor.
4. Verify Control Mode:
• Open-loop: DA control (pressure compensation).
• Closed-loop: HD control (dual flow/pressure feedback).

6. Maintenance & Fault Diagnosis
• Daily Checks:
• Oil level (every 500 hours), oil temperature (≤80°C), abnormal noise.
• Leakage inspection (shaft seals, face seals).
• Scheduled Maintenance:
• Replace hydraulic oil every 2000 hours (ISO VG46 anti-wear oil recommended).
• Inspect bearings and swashplate every 5000 hours.
• Common Faults:【表格】
Symptom Possible Causes Solutions
Insufficient flow Swashplate jamming, control failure Clean variable piston, replace control valve
Pressure fluctuation Clogged suction filter, air ingestion Replace filter, check seals
Motor overheating Excessive pump load, misalignment Adjust displacement, realign components
