A3HM Series Yuken High Pressure Variable Displacement Piston Pumps

 Product Overview

The A3HM Series is Yuken’s specialized open-circuit variable displacement piston pump designed specifically for construction machinery and mobile equipment. Engineered with European and North American mobile market requirements in mind, it delivers exceptional performance in a compact, lightweight package ideal for space-constrained vehicle applications.

 Core Advantages

1. Compact & Lightweight Design

  • Drastically reduced size and weight compared to conventional mobile pumps
  • High power-to-mass ratio enables flexible installation in tight engine compartments
  • Optimized for vehicle-mounted applications where weight and space are critical

2. High-Pressure Capability

  • Rated pressure: 31.5 MPa (4569 PSI)
  • Maximum pressure: 35 MPa (5080 PSI)
  • Maintains stable performance under heavy shock loads common in construction work

3. High-Speed Compatibility

  • Maximum shaft speed: Up to 3,400 r/min (A3HM18 model)
  • Directly matches engine speeds without requiring additional reduction mechanisms
  • Reduces transmission complexity and energy losses

4. Excellent Efficiency

  • Volumetric efficiency: ≥95% at 35 MPa and 1800 r/min
  • Overall efficiency: ≥90% under rated conditions
  • Low energy consumption translates to better fuel economy for mobile equipment
