YUKEN A37-E-R, A70-S-R Piston Pumps

Parameters of YUKEN Piston Pumps Models A37-E-R and A70-S-R

1. Model Interpretation

YUKEN A37-E-R and A70-S-R are variable displacement axial piston pumps, designed for medium to large-sized hydraulic systems requiring high pressure, high efficiency, and reliable performance. The A series piston pumps feature a compact swash plate design, low noise operation, and excellent controllability, making them widely used in industrial machinery, construction equipment, and mobile hydraulic applications. The model suffixes “E-R” and “S-R” indicate specific control options and structural configurations, with differences primarily in displacement range, maximum operating pressure, and control features to adapt to diverse system requirements.

1.1 Model Coding Rules (Unified for Both Models)

  • A: Series code, indicating YUKEN A series variable displacement axial piston pump, featuring a robust swash plate design for high pressure and high efficiency operation.
  • 37/70: Nominal displacement code, representing the maximum displacement of the pump (37 cm³/rev for A37, 70 cm³/rev for A70), which directly determines the flow capacity of the pump.
  • E/S: Control type code, indicating the specific control mechanism:
    • E: Electro-hydraulic proportional control (proportional solenoid for remote flow and pressure adjustment).
    • S: Manual servo control (manual adjustment with servo feedback for precise flow control).
  • R: Rotation direction code, indicating the standard clockwise rotation (viewed from the shaft end), suitable for most hydraulic system configurations.
  • Additional Code Explanation: Complete model typically includes mounting type, shaft specification, and design number:
    • Mounting type: F (flange mounting), S (spline shaft).
    • Shaft specification: Standard keyed shaft or splined shaft for direct coupling to prime movers.
    • Design number: 10/11/12, indicating specific design variations (installation dimensions remain unchanged for minor design changes).
Note: The two models share the same basic structure (variable displacement axial piston pump with swash plate design), with differences primarily in nominal displacement, flow capacity, maximum operating pressure, and control mechanism to meet diverse application requirements.

6. Installation and Operation Notes

  • Before installation, check the pump model, nominal displacement, control type, and rotation direction to ensure they match the system requirements.
  • Mount the pump on a rigid base using suitable mounting bolts and torque specifications (refer to YUKEN technical documentation) to prevent vibration and ensure stable operation.
  • Align the pump shaft with the prime mover (motor/engine) shaft accurately (concentricity ≤ 0.1 mm) to avoid shaft bending and bearing damage.
  • Use a flexible coupling to connect the pump and prime mover, absorbing vibration and reducing mechanical stress on the shaft and bearings.
  • Connect the hydraulic lines correctly: pressure port (P) to the system pressure line, tank port (T) to the oil tank line, and control ports (X/Y) to the control system lines; reverse connection will cause pump failure and system damage.
  • Fill the pump with hydraulic oil before starting to ensure proper lubrication of internal components and prevent dry running.
  • Prime the pump by rotating the shaft manually (5-10 revolutions) to remove air from the pump and hydraulic lines before starting.
  • Start the pump at low speed (≤1000 rpm) and no load, gradually increasing the speed and load to the rated values to avoid sudden pressure changes causing equipment damage.
  • Maintain hydraulic oil cleanliness at NAS 7 level or higher, and install a high-precision filter (≥10 μm) in the system to prevent impurities from damaging the pump’s internal components (swash plate, piston, cylinder block).
  • The operating temperature of the hydraulic oil should be controlled within -10°C to 80°C; excessive temperature will affect the service life of the seal and pump performance.
  • Regularly inspect the pump for oil leakage, abnormal noise, and pressure fluctuations; if any abnormality is found, stop the system immediately for inspection and maintenance.
  • When adjusting the flow or pressure, follow the YUKEN technical manual and ensure the system is in a safe state to avoid injury or equipment damage.
  • When replacing parts, use only genuine YUKEN replacement parts to ensure compatibility and maintain pump performance; non-genuine parts may cause reduced efficiency, increased noise, and premature failure.
  • Do not disassemble the pump without authorization; if maintenance is required, refer to the YUKEN technical manual or contact professional maintenance personnel.
  • Store the pump in a dry, clean, and well-ventilated environment when not in use, protecting it from dust, moisture, and corrosion.
