🛠️ General Structural Parameters

  1. Housing: EN-GJL300 (GG300) high-strength cast iron, two-piece construction
  2. Gear Set: Carburized & hardened steel gears; Nitrided ductile iron pressure plates
  3. Bearings: Multi-component sliding bearings with external support, high radial load capacity
  4. Shaft Seal: Double radial oil seal; FKM fluororubber seal optional for high temperature / bio-oil applications
  5. Mounting Flange: SAE flange / European 4-bolt flange optional
  6. Ports: SAE standard flange ports, side / end port options available
  7. Rotation: Standard clockwise (CW), counter-clockwise (CCW) optional
  8. Integrated Valve Options: Built-in relief valve, anti-cavitation valve, load-sensing priority valve, solenoid bypass valve
  9. Combination Types: Multi-stage pumps available, e.g. KP20+KP30, KP30+KP35 with common inlet

💡 Selection Notes

  1. Continuous Pressure: Long-term operating pressure, the reference basis for system selection; Peak Pressure: Allowable for short-duration shock loads, not for continuous operation
  2. As displacement increases, allowable continuous pressure and maximum speed decrease accordingly
  3. KP35 is compact version. Shorter installation length than KP30 at the same displacement, ideal for machinery with limited mounting space
  4. KP40 Plus reinforced version with upgraded materials and higher shock resistance, for extreme working conditions such as mining and heavy-duty tippers.
