ASR Series Yuken AC Servo Motor Driven Pumps
1. Product Overview
The YUKEN ASR Series is an innovative electro-hydraulic integrated servo pump system that directly drives a piston pump with an AC servo motor, enabling stepless variable control of pump output by adjusting the motor speed from 0 to maximum rotational speed. It combines the advantages of both electric and hydraulic systems, and is primarily designed as a high-efficiency hydraulic power source for industrial machinery, with excellent responsiveness and repeatability, particularly excelling in precision molding applications.
2. Core Features
1. Excellent Energy-Saving Effect
-
On-demand oil supply: Adjusts flow and pressure in real-time according to system requirements, eliminating overflow losses
-
Energy savings of 30-70%: Compared to traditional fixed displacement pump systems with throttling control, with power consumption less than half that of hydraulic machines and equivalent to that of full electric machines[3];
-
Reduced heat generation: Lower energy consumption minimizes hydraulic oil temperature rise, extending oil life, reducing cooling system load, and allowing for a significant reduction in fuel tank capacity;
2. Compact Integrated Design
-
All-in-one unit: Integrated motor and piston pump assembly, saving up to 40% in both mass and volume compared to the AR series variable displacement piston pumps, realizing a highly lightweight and compact design;
-
Simplified piping: Reduced hydraulic connections improve system reliability and reduce leakage risks
-
Lightweight construction: Easier handling and installation compared to separate motor-pump configurations
3. Precision Control Performance
-
Precise speed/torque control: Equipped with a special high-power servo motor (SPM) and variable displacement piston pump, utilizing YUKEN’s dedicated AMSR controller for closed-loop control, with flow control hysteresis and repeatability both less than 1%, no additional encoders required[3];
-
Fast response time: Servo motor control enables rapid acceleration/deceleration and pressure changes, with excellent ultra-low speed molding and continuous pressure holding performance;
-
Stable pressure holding: Maintains consistent pressure during molding cycles, improving product quality consistency
4. Low Noise and Environmental Protection
-
EMC filter: Environmentally friendly design reduces electrical noise interference
-
Lower carbon footprint: Energy efficiency contributes to reduced greenhouse gas emissions
