A4FO22 and A4FO28 Fixed Displacement Pumps/Motors: Detailed Overview
I. Product Positioning and Core Features
The A4FO22 and A4FO22 are axial piston fixed displacement pumps from Rexroth's A4FO series, featuring a swashplate design tailored for open-circuit hydraulic systems. Their key characteristics include:
1. Flow Proportional to Speed/Displacement: Output flow is determined by drive speed and pump displacement, ideal for applications requiring stable flow rates.
2. High-Pressure Performance:
• A4FO22/28: Rated pressure of 400 bar, peak pressure of 450 bar, meeting high-load demands.
3. Low Noise and Long Service Life: Optimized design reduces operational noise, while wear-resistant components extend durability.
4. Multi-Pump Compatibility: Supports series or parallel configurations for complex hydraulic systems.
5. Through-Shaft Drive: Enables integration of additional pumps or motors, simplifying system layout.

III. Typical Applications
1. Construction Machinery:
• Concrete Pump Trucks: Drives hydraulic cylinders for concrete delivery.
• Cranes: Controls lifting, luffing, and slewing motions.
• Excavators: Powers auxiliary hydraulic systems for bucket and boom operations.
2. Industrial Equipment:
• Injection Molding Machines: Provides high-pressure hydraulic power for precise molding.
• Metal Die-Casting Machines: Manages mold opening/closing and product ejection.
3. Other Fields:
• Marine Steering Gear: Supplies stable steering force.
• Wind Turbine Yaw Systems: Drives gearboxes for nacelle orientation adjustments.
IV. Selection Guidelines
1. Flow Requirements:
• For systems requiring ≤79 L/min, prioritize the A4FO22.
• For flows near 84 L/min, the A4FO28 is more suitable.
2. Pressure Matching:
• Both share the same rated pressure, but the A4FO28 delivers higher torque at equivalent speeds, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications.
3. Speed Limitations:
• The A4FO22 supports speeds up to 3,600 rpm (suited for high-speed drives), while the A4FO28 is capped at 3,000 rpm—ensure system speeds do not exceed limits.
4. Installation Space:
• Both have similar weight and dimensions, but the A4FO28’s larger displacement requires verification of installation clearance.
V. Usage Precautions
1. Pre-Startup Oil Filling: The pump housing must be fully filled with hydraulic oil to prevent dry running damage.
2. Low-Speed No-Load Startup: After initial installation or prolonged shutdown, run at low speed without load until system air is purged.
3. Suction Port Pressure: The minimum suction pressure at port S must not fall below 0.8 bar to avoid cavitation.
4. Installation Position:
• If the pump is positioned below the oil tank level, prime the housing via the drain port before startup.
• If installed above the tank level, avoid layouts where the shaft is horizontal with the suction port facing downward.
5. Piping Design:
• Suction or drain lines must maintain a minimum immersion depth of ≥200 mm (relative to the tank’s lowest liquid level).
• Maximum allowable suction line length: ≤800 mm.
