🎛️ Advanced Control Options

Yuken offers 11 types of control methods to meet diverse system requirements :
  1. Pressure Compensator (FR/01 type): Automatically adjusts displacement based on system pressure, maintaining constant pressure while reducing flow at set pressure
  2. Solenoid Two-Pressure Control (2FR/02 type): Switches between two preset pressure levels via solenoid
  3. Proportional Electro-Hydraulic Control: Integrates amplifiers and sensors for precise pressure/flow regulation
  4. Load Sensing Control (LS): Matches flow to actual load demand, minimizing energy consumption
  5. Electric Proportional Flow Control: Provides stepless flow adjustment via electrical signal
  6. Torque Limiting Control: Prevents overload by limiting maximum output torque

🔧 Key Technical Advantages

  1. Exceptional Efficiency: Volumetric efficiency >98% and overall efficiency >90% (A Series at 16 MPa, 1800 rpm)
  2. Low Noise Performance: Advanced design reduces noise levels (A16 model: <65 dB)
  3. Energy Saving: Pressure/flow optimization minimizes heat generation and power consumption
  4. High Reliability: Precision-machined components, high-strength alloy pistons, and robust construction ensure long service life
  5. Versatile Mounting: Complies with JIS and ISO 3019-1/2 standards, with SAE options for mobile applications
  6. Wide Viscosity Range: Operates efficiently with hydraulic fluids from 20 to 400 cSt

📦 Typical Applications

Yuken variable displacement piston pumps are widely used in:
  • Industrial Machinery: Injection molding machines, die casting machines, hydraulic presses, machine tools (90% of machine tools applications use A Series)
  • Mobile Equipment: Excavators, loaders, forklifts, aerial work platforms, agricultural machinery
  • Specialized Systems: Medical equipment, semiconductor manufacturing, laboratory instruments, renewable energy systems
  • Automation: Robotic systems, material handling, hydraulic clamping devices

📌 Model Nomenclature Example

A16-F-R-01-C-K-32:
  • A16: Series (A) + Displacement (16 cm³/rev)
  • F: Flange mounting type
  • R: Rotation direction (clockwise)
  • 01: Control type (pressure compensator)
  • C: Frame size
  • K: Shaft type

💡 Selection Considerations

  1. Pressure Requirements: Match pump max pressure to system operating pressure (typically 80% of max rating)
  2. Flow Demand: Calculate required flow rate (Q = displacement × rpm × efficiency)
  3. Control Needs: Choose appropriate control type based on system functionality (pressure/flow/load sensing)
  4. Mounting & Connection: Ensure compatibility with ISO/JIS/SAE standards
  5. Fluid Compatibility: Use recommended hydraulic fluids within specified viscosity range
  6. Environmental Conditions: Consider temperature, vibration, and contamination levels
