II. Working Principle
The PV Series pump operates based on the swash plate axial piston principle:
-
The drive shaft drives the cylinder block to rotate, and the swash plate forces the pistons to make reciprocating linear movements in the cylinder block.
-
The reciprocating movement of the pistons changes the internal volume of the cylinder block, and the oil suction and discharge cycles are completed through the suction and discharge windows of the valve plate.
-
The variable displacement mechanism precisely adjusts the displacement (continuously adjustable from 0 to maximum displacement) by changing the swash plate angle.
-
The valve plate adopts an advanced design to ensure reliable sealing and low wear under high pressure.
III. Core Structural Features
-
Modular Design: The modular structure facilitates maintenance and replacement, provides high configuration flexibility, and supports strategic inventory management.
-
High Efficiency Performance: Optimized flow channel design and precision manufacturing processes ensure high efficiency and low energy consumption, reducing operating costs.
-
Rapid Response: The combination of a large variable displacement piston and a strong return spring achieves millisecond-level control response to adapt to dynamic load changes.
-
9-Piston Design: Compared with traditional 7-piston pumps, it has smaller flow pulsation, more stable operation and lower noise.
-
High Reliability: Heavy-duty bearing system and wear-resistant materials ensure long service life under harsh working conditions.
-
Multi-Functional Control: Supports multiple control combinations, including:
-
Standard pressure regulator
-
Power regulator (constant power control)
-
Load-sensing control
-
Electro-hydraulic proportional control, etc.
