1. Model Nomenclature Explanation
1.1 GHP1A-D-8-FG Model Nomenclature
-
GHP: High-pressure external gear pump series, designed for continuous high-pressure operation (up to 250 bar), superior pressure resistance vs. ALP series.
-
1A: Size group (GHP1), displacement range 1–10 cm³/rev, compact dimensions for small-flow systems.
-
D: Flange mounting, rigid installation with minimal vibration.
-
8: Displacement code (theoretical displacement = 7.8 cm³/rev).
-
FG: Special options – F = integrated pressure relief valve (overload protection); G = mechanical seal (high-pressure, leak-proof).
1.2 ALP2A-D-25-FG Model Nomenclature
-
ALP: Standard-pressure external gear pump series, aluminum alloy body, cost-effective for medium-pressure systems.
-
2A: Size group (ALP2), displacement range 9–34 cm³/rev, balanced flow-pressure performance.
-
D: Flange mounting, European standard 4-hole interface.
-
25: Displacement code (theoretical displacement = 17.9 cm³/rev).
-
FG: Special options – F = pressure relief valve; G = mechanical seal (long service life, -10°C to +80°C).

9. Installation Instructions
General Requirements
-
Mount on rigid base; align motor-pump shaft (coaxiality ≤0.1 mm) to avoid vibration.
-
Suction line: tight seals, diameter ≥ pump inlet, length ≤1.5 m, height ≤500 mm.
-
Use clean, filtered hydraulic oil (ISO 4406 cleanliness class 18/15 or better).
-
Prime pump before first start: fill inlet chamber with oil to prevent dry running.

-
Secure flange with 4×M6 bolts, torque 60±5 Nm.
-
Connect suction/pressure lines; use bonded seals to prevent leaks.
-
Rotate shaft manually to confirm smooth rotation.
ALP2A-D-25-FG (Flange Mounting)
-
Secure flange with 4×M8 bolts, torque 70±5 Nm.
-
Ensure proper alignment; use flexible coupling if misalignment exists.
-
Check all connections for tightness before startup.
10. Operation Instructions
-
Before startup: check oil level, vent air from system, open all valves.
-
Idle run: operate 2–3 minutes at low pressure (<50 bar); check noise, leaks, temperature.
-
Gradually increase pressure to working level; confirm relief valve functions correctly.
-
Operating limits: do not exceed max pressure/speed; monitor housing temp (<80°C).
-
Shutdown: reduce load to zero, stop motor, close isolation valves.
11. Maintenance & Troubleshooting
Routine Maintenance
-
Oil change: Every 2000 operating hours; replace filter element.
-
Seal check: Every 1000 hours; replace mechanical seal if leaking.
