8. Applications (A3H56 Series)
-
Plastic Injection Molding Machines: Suitable for medium-sized injection molding machines, providing stable hydraulic power for mold clamping, injection and other processes, with flexible flow adjustment to adapt to different product molding requirements.
-
Hydraulic Presses: Applied to medium-tonnage hydraulic presses (100-500 tons), ensuring stable pressure output and stepless flow adjustment, improving pressing efficiency and product quality.
-
Machine Tools: Used in CNC lathes, milling machines, grinding machines and other equipment, providing high-pressure hydraulic power for feed, clamping and other mechanisms, ensuring precise operation.
-
Other Industrial Equipment: Suitable for metal forming equipment, hydraulic power units, and auxiliary hydraulic systems in metallurgy and mining, where medium displacement and high pressure are required.
9. Important Notes (A3H56 Series)
-
Displacement adjustment should be performed under no-load or low-load conditions (≤50% rated pressure) to avoid excessive mechanical stress and damage to internal components such as piston and swashplate.
-
Ensure precise alignment between the pump drive shaft and the motor shaft (coaxiality ≤0.15 mm) to prevent shaft deformation, bearing wear and abnormal noise.
-
Install a pressure relief valve (adjusted to ≤400 bar) and high-precision filter in the hydraulic system to protect the pump from overpressure and contamination, which is crucial for extending service life.
-
Regular maintenance is required: replace hydraulic oil every 1500 – 2000 operating hours, and clean or replace the oil filter every 500 operating hours; check the oil level and oil quality regularly.
-
Avoid long-term operation at low speed (below 800 min⁻¹) and high pressure, as this will reduce efficiency, increase energy consumption and shorten the service life of the pump.
-
Check the seal for leakage regularly; replace the seal immediately if leakage is found to prevent oil loss and system contamination; NBR seals are not suitable for high-temperature environments (above 80 °C), please choose FKM seals if needed.
