YUKEN A7H、ARL1 Piston Pump

1. YUKEN A7H Series High-Pressure Variable Displacement Piston Pumps

1.1 Overview

The YUKEN A7H series is a high-pressure variable displacement piston pump developed by YUKEN Industrial Co., Ltd., as an expansion of the high-pressure variable pump lineup following the A3H series. It is designed to meet the requirements of high-pressure and large-flow hydraulic systems, featuring excellent stability and adaptability, and is widely used in various industrial machinery and hydraulic equipment.

1.2 Key Features

  • High Pressure & Large Displacement: It achieves a rated pressure of 35 MPa and a maximum pressure of 40 MPa, with available theoretical displacements of 180 cm³/rev and 270 cm³/rev, effectively meeting the demand for high-pressure and large-flow applications.
  • Compatible with Combined Pumps: The non-drive side adopts SAE standard mounting, allowing additional pumps to be connected to realize pump compounding, which enhances the flexibility of system configuration.
  • Fire-Resistant Hydraulic Fluid Compatible: Under certain conditions, it can use water-glycol and fatty acid ester-based fire-resistant hydraulic fluids, expanding its application scope in special working environments.
  • Multiple Control Modes: It offers various control modes, including pressure compensator control (model suffix R01S), constant power control (model suffix R09S), and external-mounted constant power control (model suffix R09RS), to adapt to different system working requirements.

2. YUKEN ARL1 Series Variable Displacement Piston Pumps

2.1 Overview

The YUKEN ARL1 series is a compact, low-noise, and high-efficiency pressure compensator type variable displacement piston pump. Based on the mature technology and high reliability of YUKEN’s A series and AR series piston pumps, it covers a small displacement range and is suitable for hydraulic systems requiring compact installation space and low noise operation.

2.2 Key Features

  • Compact and Lightweight: Compared with YUKEN’s AR series piston pumps, its weight and volume are reduced by 40%, making it easy to install in limited space.
  • Low Noise: The noise level is as low as 55 dB(A) (representative value of ARL1-16) when measured 1 meter behind the pump at 7 MPa and 1500 r/min, effectively reducing environmental noise pollution.
  • High Reliability: It inherits YUKEN’s years of piston pump manufacturing experience, with stable performance and long service life, ensuring continuous and reliable operation of the hydraulic system.
  • Pressure Compensator Control: It adopts pressure compensator control (model suffix R01), which can automatically adjust the displacement according to the system pressure, achieving energy-saving operation.

2.5 Notes on Use

  • Air Bleeding: Ensure complete air bleeding from the pump interior and pipeline to avoid vibration; it is recommended to install an air release valve on the discharge side.
  • Start-up Preparation: Inject 285 cm³ of clean hydraulic oil through the oil filler before initial operation; adjust the hydraulic circuit to ensure the pump discharge oil returns directly to the tank or the actuator moves without load at startup to avoid cavitation.
  • Pressure Adjustment: The pump is set to the minimum pressure at the factory; adjust the pressure by turning the pressure adjustment screw (clockwise to increase pressure), with an adjustment amount of 1.5 MPa per full rotation of the screw; tighten the lock nut after adjustment.
  • Displacement Adjustment: The pump does not have a built-in displacement adjustment function; install a flow control valve if necessary.
