NACHI IPH Series Gear Pump: Technical Deep Dive & Application Guide
(Internal Gear Pump High-Pressure Series)
------
1. Core Design Principles
A. Structural Breakdown
• Gear Pair:
• Outer Gear (Driving Gear): Helical-toothed design for smooth rotation.
• Inner Gear (Driven Gear): Crescent-shaped gear with 5–7 teeth (model-dependent).
• Key Advantages:
• Low Pulse Flow: Helical gears reduce flow ripple by >80% vs. traditional spur gears.
• Self-Priming: Can operate with suction pressures as low as0.3 bar(critical for vertical installations).
B. Efficiency Curves
【表格】
Parameter IPH-2A (2.1 cc/rev) IPH-6C (15.2 cc/rev)
Volumetric Eff. 92% (rated) 90% (rated)
Mechanical Eff. 88% (1800 RPM) 85% (1800 RPM)
Total Eff. 81% (rated load) 76% (rated load)
Note: Efficiency drops ~5% when operating at ≤50% rated flow.

2. Model-Specific Specifications
A. Flow Rate & Pressure Range
【表格】
Model Flow (cc/rev) Max Pressure (bar) Typical Use Case
IPH-2A 2.1–5.0 250 Small CNC machines
IPH-4B 4.2–12.0 250 Plastic injection
IPH-6C 15.2–30.0 250 Press machinery
IPH-8D 35.0–60.0 210 Mining excavators
B. Mounting & Interface Standards
• Port Sizes: SAE 4-bolt (standard), DIN 24° taper (optional).
• Shaft Configurations:
• Straight Shaft: For direct coupling to electric motors.
• Splined Shaft: For torque-critical applications (e.g., wind turbines).

3. Performance Benchmarks vs. Competitors
A. Noise Level Comparison
【表格】
Pump Type Noise (dB @ 1800 RPM) Key Differentiator
NACHI IPH-4B 68 Helical gear damping
Yuken PV2R2 75 Spur gear resonance
Parker PGP315 72 Noise-reduction baffle
Application Impact: IPH pumps enable30% longer hydraulic line lifedue to reduced cavitation noise.
B. Energy Efficiency
• IPH vs. Vane Pumps:
• IPH-6C: 90% efficiency at 1800 RPM (vane pumps: ~85%).
• Cost Saving: $1,200/year in electricity for a 20 kW system (10% energy reduction).

4. Maintenance & Troubleshooting
A. Critical Failure Modes
【表格】
Failure Root Cause Solution
Gear Wear Low oil viscosity (<15 cSt) Switch to ISO 46 hydraulic oil
Shaft Seal Leak Over-tightening (≥120 Nm) Follow torque specs (80–100 Nm)
Cavitation Noise Inlet pressure <0.5 bar Install suction accumulator
B. Recommended Service Intervals
• Oil Filter: Replace every1,000 hours(β10 ≥ 200 filter required).
• Shaft Seals: Replace every5,000 hours(or after 3 seal leaks).
• Gear Inspection: Annual for ≥6-year-old pumps.

5. Upgrade Paths for Existing Systems
A. Retrofit Recommendations
【表格】
Original Pump IPH Replacement Benefits
Yuken PV2R2-10 IPH-2A-32 30% lower noise, 15% higher efficiency
Parker PGP320 IPH-4B-40 20% smaller footprint, 10% lower power draw
B. Arctic/Desert Modifications
• Arctic Kit (-40°C):
• Preheater: 1 kW inline heater for oil.
• Viscosity Control: ISO 32 oil + thermal insulation.
• Desert Kit (+60°C):
• Cooling Fan: Forced-air cooling (reduces oil temp by 15°C).
• High-Viscosity Oil: ISO 68 oil for extended life.
