YUKEN A16-F-R Piston Pump

Overview

The YUKEN A16-F-R is a flagship small-displacement model in the A Series variable piston pump family, specifically engineered for medium and small-sized industrial equipment requiring precise flow control and compact installation. Leveraging YUKEN’s 60+ years of hydraulic engineering expertise, this pump integrates flange-mounted design, clockwise rotation, and high-efficiency variable displacement technology to deliver reliable fluid power solutions for light industrial and automated production scenarios. Its optimized compact structure and low-noise performance make it an ideal choice for space-constrained machinery.

Core Technical Specifications

1. Displacement & Flow Performance

  • Displacement: 16 cm³/rev (optimized for medium-flow precision applications)
  • Rated Flow: 28.8 L/min (at 1800 rpm, rated pressure)
  • Maximum Flow: 57.6 L/min (at 3600 rpm, peak operating speed)
  • Flow Adjustment Range: 0~57.6 L/min (stepless regulation via swashplate angle control for on-demand oil supply)

2. Pressure & Speed Capabilities

  • Maximum Working Pressure: Up to 21 MPa (varies by pressure range code: B=7 MPa / C=16 MPa / H=21 MPa)
  • Adjustable Pressure Range: 1.2~21 MPa (model-dependent, precise matching for light to medium load cycles)
  • Rated Speed: 1800 rpm
  • Operating Speed Range: 600~3600 rpm (supports rapid actuation and low-speed pressure holding)
  • Overload Capacity: Withstands 110% of maximum pressure for 3-minute cycles (enhanced structural integrity for intermittent heavy loads)

3. Efficiency & Energy Saving

  • Volumetric Efficiency: ≥98% (tested at 16 MPa, 1800 rpm)
  • Total Efficiency: ≥90% (15%~20% energy savings compared to conventional fixed-displacement pumps)
  • Variable Displacement Mechanism: Adaptive swashplate design eliminates throttling losses, reducing power consumption in partial-load operations.

4. Noise & Temperature Control

  • Low Noise Level: ≤57.3 dB(A) (at 1800 rpm, rated pressure) – industry-leading for small-displacement pumps
  • Heat Generation: Oil temperature rise ≤35℃ under continuous operation (25% lower than standard small pumps), minimizing cooling system requirements.

Control Modes & Adaptability

1. Control Options

  • Pressure Compensation Control (Type 01): Standard configuration with external pilot pressure signal (0.3~3.5 MPa) for stepless pressure adjustment, response time ≤0.4 seconds
  • Electromagnetic Dual-Pressure Control (Optional Type 02): DC24V signal-driven high-low pressure switching (PL/PH) for automated small-scale production lines
  • Standard Model Configuration: A16-F-R-01-B-K-60 / A16-F-R-01-C-K-60 (flange mounting, clockwise rotation, pressure compensation control, flat key shaft extension)

2. Installation Flexibility

  • Mounting Type: Flange (F) installation as standard (optional base (L) mounting available)
  • Rotation Direction: Clockwise (R) rotation (standard); counterclockwise (L) rotation available on request
  • Port Position: Side (S) interface as standard for convenient pipeline layout
  • Shaft Extension: Flat key (K) design ensures stable power transmission in medium-torque applications
  • Dimensions: Compact footprint (compatible with A Series mounting standards) for space-constrained equipment.

Application Fields

The A16-F-R excels in light to medium-duty industrial scenarios:

  • Small Injection Molding Machines: Powers mold clamping and injection for precision plastic components (e.g., electronic enclosures, medical parts) with minimal pressure fluctuation
  • Light Industrial Machinery: Ideal for shoe-making machines, hollow forming machines, and small die-casting equipment
  • Precision Forging Machinery: Delivers stable pressure for small-part stamping, bending, and pipe-bending processes
  • Automated Production Lines: Compact design and fast response adapt to robotic arms and automated assembly equipment
  • Test Equipment: High precision and low noise suit hydraulic test benches and laboratory apparatus

Reliability & Maintenance

  • Structural Design: Lightweight yet robust housing for vibration resistance in high-speed operations

2. Maintenance Requirements

  • Hydraulic Oil: ISO VG46 anti-wear hydraulic oil (NAS Class 9 or higher), replacement every 2000 hours
  • Filter Maintenance: Independent ≤5μm filtration circuit for control oil path, cleaning required every 400 hours
  • Routine Inspection: Aligns with YUKEN A Series maintenance standards – includes pressure calibration, seal inspection, and lubrication checks

Key Advantages

  • Compact flange-mounted design (F) and clockwise rotation (R) for seamless integration into small machinery
