Rexroth A4VSO180DR/30R-PPB13N00 Hydraulic Pump
Overview
The Rexroth A4VSO180DR/30R-PPB13N00 is a high-performance axial piston variable displacement pump manufactured by Bosch Rexroth. As part of the A4VSO series, this pump features a swashplate design and is engineered for open-circuit hydraulic drive systems, delivering precise control of fluid flow and exceptional reliability in demanding industrial applications. The A4VSO series is widely recognized for its high power density, low noise operation, and very long service life across industries such as metallurgy, mining, marine, and heavy machinery.
Technical Features
Swashplate Axial Piston Design — The pump utilizes a swashplate-type axial piston variable displacement design specifically tailored for open-circuit hydrostatic transmissions. The flow output is proportional to the input drive speed and displacement volume, and by adjusting the swashplate angle, output flow can be infinitely varied.
High Displacement & Pressure Ratings — The pump has a displacement of 180 cm³ per revolution, placing it in the medium-to-high flow range within the A4VSO series. It operates at a nominal pressure of 350 bar (5,076 psi) and can withstand maximum intermittent pressures up to 400 bar (5,800 psi).
DR Constant Pressure Control — The pump is equipped with DR constant pressure control. This control mechanism maintains a stable system pressure regardless of load variations. When the system pressure is below the DR valve setting, the pump operates as a fixed displacement pump; when the set pressure is reached, the DR valve activates, reducing displacement to maintain constant pressure and supply only the oil volume required by the system.
Excellent Suction Performance — The A4VSO series features superior suction characteristics, ensuring reliable operation even under challenging inlet conditions and reducing the likelihood of cavitation. The pump's self-priming capability allows for consistent performance during oil suction.
Through-Drive Capability — The pump features through-drive capability, allowing for the mounting of additional pumps up to the same nominal size directly onto it without requiring separate coupling mechanisms. This modular approach facilitates flexible system design and expansion.
Low Noise & Low Vibration Operation — The pump operates with low working noise and low flow pulsation, enhancing operator comfort and supporting environmental compliance. The A4VSO series achieves noise levels that make it suitable for noise-sensitive industrial environments.
Long Service Life & Robust Construction — Designed with high-quality materials, wear-resistant components, and special long-life, high-precision aerospace-grade full roller bearings, the pump is built for long-term reliability in demanding industrial environments.
High Efficiency — The A4VSO series delivers high efficiency with volumetric efficiency of approximately 95% and overall efficiency of around 90%, contributing to energy savings and reduced operating costs.
Short Control Response Times — The pump features short control response times, ensuring quick adaptation to changing system demands and precise operation in dynamic hydraulic applications.
High Power-to-Weight Ratio — The pump offers a high power-to-weight ratio, contributing to space-saving installation and efficient system design.
Flexible Mounting Options — The pump features ISO and SAE standard flanges for easy integration, with optional shaft types including parallel key or splined shafts.
Wide Operating Range — The pump operates effectively with mineral oil-based hydraulic fluids (HLP according to DIN 51524) across a wide viscosity and temperature range. The recommended operating temperature range is -25°C to +90°C, with a viscosity range of 10 to 1000 mm²/s.
Key Functionalities
Variable Displacement Flow Control — The flow rate is proportional to the drive speed and displacement and can be infinitely varied by adjusting the swashplate angle, providing precise, stepless control over hydraulic output across the entire operating range.
Constant Pressure Regulation — The DR pressure compensator maintains a constant system pressure regardless of load variations. When the pump reaches the set pressure, the controller reduces displacement to match system demand, ensuring stable performance and protecting downstream components. The variable pump delivers only the hydraulic oil required by the consumer, minimizing energy waste.
Open-Circuit Hydrostatic Transmission — The pump is specifically designed for open-circuit operation, focusing on controlling the direction and magnitude of fluid flow within hydraulic systems. This configuration is ideal for applications where the fluid returns to the reservoir after each cycle.
Multiple Pump Configurations — The through-drive capability allows the pump to serve as a primary unit driving secondary pumps, reducing system complexity and eliminating the need for separate couplings and mounting arrangements.
Energy Efficient Operation — The DR constant pressure control enables energy savings compared to fixed displacement pumps in dynamic load scenarios, reducing hydro-mechanical losses, heat generation, and power consumption. High volumetric efficiency (95%) and overall efficiency (90%) contribute to reduced operating costs.
Overload Protection — The pump incorporates built-in high-pressure relief valves to protect the system from excess pressure, ensuring safe operation under varying load conditions. Peak pressure capability up to 400 bar provides a safety margin for transient pressure spikes.
Clockwise Rotation — The pump is designed for clockwise rotation when viewed from the shaft end, denoted by the "R" in its model code, ensuring proper operation and compatibility with other hydraulic components.
High Reliability & Low Maintenance — With its robust construction, high-quality components, and wear-resistant design, the pump ensures long-term operational stability with minimal maintenance requirements. The design life exceeds 10 years under normal operating conditions.
