A2FM 60/61/63 and A2FE 60/61 Hydraulic Piston Pumps and Motors: Detailed Overview
I. Product Classification and Core Functions
1. A2FM Series (Swashplate Fixed-Displacement Motors/Pumps)
• Type: Swashplate axial piston motors/pumps with fixed displacement.
• Core Functions:
• Converts hydraulic energy (flow and pressure) into mechanical energy (torque and rotational speed), suitable for open or closed-loop hydrostatic transmission systems.
• Output rotational speed is proportional to flow rate and inversely proportional to displacement; output torque increases with the pressure differential between high-pressure and low-pressure sides, as well as displacement.
• Typical Applications: Construction machinery (e.g., concrete mixer trucks, rotary drilling rigs), mobile equipment (e.g., road rollers, cranes), and industrial machinery (e.g., rolling mill drives).
2. A2FE Series (Swashplate Variable-Displacement Pumps)
• Type: Swashplate axial piston variable-displacement pumps with adjustable displacement.
• Core Functions:
• Dynamically adjusts displacement based on system demands to optimize energy efficiency and response speed.
• Suitable for applications requiring flow control, such as load-sensing or pressure-compensated systems.
• Typical Applications: Injection molding machines, die-casting machines, and marine steering gear systems requiring precise flow control.
