I. Core Functional Components (Directly Affect Pump Performance)
1. Piston
• Function: Reciprocates in the cylinder block to achieve oil suction and discharge.
• Material: High-strength steel (e.g., 42CrMo4) or ceramic-coated (wear-resistant).
• Common Issues: Wear-induced leakage, requiring periodic replacement.
2. Cylinder Block (Barrel)
• Function: Houses pistons, forming a sealed volume.
• Key Specifications: Bore precision (H7 grade), surface roughness (Ra≤0.4μm).
• Failure Modes: Eccentric wear or corrosion; inspect coaxiality.
3. Port Plate (Valve Plate)
• Function: Controls oil flow direction for suction/discharge switching.
• Design Types: Flat port plate, spherical port plate (for high-pressure pumps).
• Maintenance: Check seal band wear; regrind if necessary.
4. Swashplate
• Function: Converts rotational motion into piston linear motion (key for variable-displacement pumps).
• Angle Range: Typically 10°–30°, affecting displacement adjustment.
• Fault Symptoms: Stiction causing unstable flow.
5. Variable Displacement Piston
• Function: Adjusts swashplate angle via hydraulic/mechanical means to vary pump displacement.
• Control Methods: Manual, hydraulic servo, or electro-hydraulic proportional control.
II. Seals & Transmission Components (Prevent Leakage & Transmit Power)
1. Seal Kit
• Composition:
• Primary seals: U-cups, V-rings (for high-pressure sealing).
• Guide rings: PTFE-based (prevent metal-to-metal contact).
• Wiper seals: Block external contaminants.
• Replacement Interval: Every 2,000 hours or as recommended by the manufacturer.
2. Bearings
• Types:
• Cylindrical roller bearings (radial load).
• Thrust bearings (axial load, e.g., from swashplate).
• Failure Causes: Insufficient lubrication or overload.
3. Drive Shaft
• Connection: Splined shaft (torque transmission).
• Inspection Items: Keyway wear, dynamic balance (≤G2.5 for high-speed pumps).
4. Ball Joint
• Function: Connects pistons to the swashplate, allowing angular deflection.
• Material: High-chromium steel (e.g., 17-4PH), surface-hardened.
III. Auxiliary Parts (Support Pump Operation & Maintenance)
1. Filters
• Types:
• Suction filters (100μm precision, protect pump from large particles).
• High-pressure filters (10μm precision, protect system components).
• Differential Pressure Alarm: Replace filter element when ΔP≥0.35MPa.
2. Mounting Flange
• Standards: SAE flanges (e.g., SAE J518C, 4-bolt/6-bolt).
• Sealing Methods: O-rings or metal-face seals (e.g., DIN 24336).
3. Port Connectors
• Thread Types: BSPP (British parallel), NPT (American tapered).
• Pressure Rating: Typically ≥35MPa (for high-pressure pump ports).
4. Pressure Sensors
• Range: 0–400bar (select based on pump rated pressure).
• Output Signals: 4-20mA or 0-10V (compatible with PLC systems).
IV. Application Scenarios
1. Construction Machinery(e.g., excavator main pumps)
• Critical Parts: Pistons, port plates, swashplates (withstand high shock loads).
• Maintenance Focus: Regularly check oil cleanliness (NAS 1638 ≤Class 7).
2. Industrial Hydraulic Systems(e.g., injection molding machines)
• Critical Parts: Variable displacement pistons, seal kits (require precise displacement control).
• Fault Diagnosis: If flow is insufficient, inspect variable mechanism for stiction.
3. Marine Steering Gear(High reliability required)
• Critical Parts: Drive shafts, bearings (require corrosion protection).
• Spare Parts Strategy: Stock swashplate assemblies (avoid offshore repair difficulties).
