A11VO75 EP2D is an open‑circuit swashplate axial piston variable displacement pump manufactured by Rexroth of Germany. EP2D refers to the integrated electro‑proportional and pressure cut‑off control valve dedicated for this pump. As a core power unit for mobile hydraulic systems, it enables stepless displacement control via electrical signals and system pressure cut‑off protection, widely used in heavy‑duty high‑pressure construction machinery.
Model Code Explanation
- A11VO: Series of open‑circuit swashplate axial piston variable displacement pump
- 75: Nominal displacement of 75 cm³/r (theoretical maximum output flow per revolution)
- EP2: 24V electro‑proportional displacement control, accepting 0~10V or 4~20mA electrical control signals to linearly adjust swashplate angle and precisely regulate output flow
- D: Built‑in DR pressure cut‑off function. When system pressure reaches the preset value, pump displacement is forced to zero to provide high‑pressure overflow protection
Operating Principle of EP2D Control Valve
1. Electro‑proportional Flow Control (EP2)
An electrical control signal energizes the proportional solenoid to drive the pilot spool and adjust the supply pressure of the swashplate servo cylinder. The swashplate angle changes linearly from 0 to 100% corresponding to the control signal, allowing stepless adjustment of pump displacement between 0 and 75cc/r to match load flow demand with high energy efficiency.
2. Constant Pressure Cut‑off (Function D)
An integrated pressure feedback valve actuates when system load pressure exceeds the preset value, returning the swashplate to zero displacement. The pump stops delivering flow and only maintains system pressure, preventing excessive heat generation from high‑pressure overflow and protecting the hydraulic system and engine.
3. Integrated Structure
EP2D is a one‑piece valve assembly. The proportional solenoid, pilot valve, servo valve and pressure cut‑off valve are all mounted on top of the pump body without additional external control valves, featuring compact installation and fast response.

II. Key Specifications
1. Displacement & Flow Rate
• Displacement:75 cm³/rev(theoretical value). Actual flow depends on rotational speed and volumetric efficiency.
• Flow range: Approximately189 L/min(theoretical) at rated speed (e.g., 2550–3000 rpm).
• Speed range: Typically1800–3250 rpm, adjustable based on operating conditions to prevent overheating or excessive wear.
2. Pressure Ratings
• Rated pressure:350–400 bar(varies by model variant, e.g., suffixes likeNZD12K04may affect pressure range).
• Peak pressure: Short-term tolerance to higher pressures is possible, but long-term operation should stay within rated limits for extended service life.
3. Control Modes
• Supports multiple control options, such asLR (pressure compensation),DR (remote pressure control), andEP2D (electro-proportional control).
• EP2Dindicates electro-proportional control, enabling precise adjustment of pump displacement or pressure via electrical signals (e.g., 0–10V or 4–20mA). Ideal for automation or closed-loop control applications.
