Rexroth A10VSO45DRG/31R-VPA12N00 Hydraulic Pump
Overview
The Rexroth A10VSO45DRG/31R-VPA12N00 is a high-performance axial piston variable displacement pump manufactured by Bosch Rexroth. As part of the A10VSO Series 31, this pump features a swashplate design and is engineered for open-circuit hydraulic systems, delivering precise control of fluid flow and exceptional reliability in demanding industrial and mobile applications. The A10VSO series is widely recognized for its high power density, excellent suction characteristics, low noise operation, and long service life.
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 from zero to maximum displacement.
DRG Remote Pressure Control — The pump is equipped with DRG control, which is a remote pressure control system. Unlike standard DR pressure control where the pressure setting is adjusted locally on the pump, DRG allows the maximum pressure setting to be adjusted remotely via an external pilot relief valve connected to the control port. This remote control capability is particularly useful in applications where multiple pumps operate in parallel and share a common pressure setting, as it allows all pumps to be controlled simultaneously from a single remote relief valve. The DRG control maintains a constant maximum pressure at the pump outlet within the setting range of 50 to 350 bar.
Nominal Displacement & Pressure Ratings — The pump has a maximum geometric displacement of 45 cm³ per revolution. It operates at a nominal pressure of 280 bar (4,060 psi) and can withstand maximum intermittent pressures up to 350 bar (5,076 psi). At its nominal speed of 2,600 rpm, the pump outputs 117 L/min, developing 55 kW of hydraulic power for cylinders or motors.
Excellent Suction Performance — The A10VSO series features superior suction characteristics with a minimum absolute inlet pressure requirement of 0.8 bar to prevent cavitation. This ensures reliable operation even under challenging inlet conditions and promotes consistent fluid flow.
Low Noise Operation — The pump is designed for low operating noise with low pressure pulsation, enhancing operator comfort and supporting environmental compliance in noise-sensitive industrial environments.
Long Service Life & Robust Construction — Designed with high-quality materials, a robust cast iron construction, and wear-resistant components, the pump is built for long-term reliability in demanding environments. The drive shaft can withstand both axial and radial loads.
Short Control Response Times — The pump features short control response times, ensuring rapid adaptation to changing system demands and precise operation in dynamic hydraulic applications.
High Power-to-Weight Ratio — The pump offers an excellent power-to-weight ratio. It weighs approximately 23.5 kg (without through-drive), contributing to space-saving installation and efficient system design.
Through-Drive Capability — The pump supports through-drive capability (N00 indicates no through-drive in this specific configuration, but the series supports it), allowing for the mounting of additional pumps up to the same nominal size directly onto it without requiring separate coupling mechanisms. This allows for versatile multi-circuit system configurations.
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.
Standardized Mounting & Porting — The pump features an ISO 2-hole mounting flange (ISO 3019-2 / SAE J744 Type A). The VPA12N00 porting configuration includes specific sealing and shaft configurations, with N00 indicating no through-drive.
FKM Shaft Seal with NBR Housing Seals — The pump is equipped with NBR (nitrile rubber) seals for the housing and an FKM (fluoroelastomer) shaft seal, ensuring compatibility with standard mineral oil-based hydraulic fluids (HLP according to DIN 51524-2).
Wide Operating Range — The pump operates effectively with mineral oil-based hydraulic fluids across a wide viscosity and temperature range. The maximum continuous fluid temperature is +110°C, with a maximum case pressure of 2 bar absolute and a maximum inlet pressure of 10 bar.
Key Functionalities
Stepless Variable Displacement — The flow rate can be infinitely varied by adjusting the swashplate angle, providing precise, stepless control over hydraulic output across the entire operating range from zero to maximum displacement. This allows the pump to optimize flow according to actual needs, improving overall system efficiency.
Remote Pressure Control — The DRG control system is the defining feature of this pump. It allows the maximum system pressure to be set remotely via an external pilot relief valve connected to the control port. When the system pressure reaches the set maximum, the pump automatically reduces its displacement to a low-flow standby state, maintaining constant pressure while protecting the system from overpressure conditions. When the pilot valve is de-energized, the pump operates at a low standby pressure (approximately 15 bar), allowing for no-load starting.
Open-Circuit Hydrostatic Transmission — The pump is specifically designed for open-circuit operation, where fluid returns to the reservoir after each cycle, making it ideal for industrial and mobile hydraulic systems requiring consistent and powerful operation.
Multiple Pump Configurations — The through-drive capability allows the pump to serve as a primary unit driving secondary pumps (gear pumps or axial piston pumps up to the same nominal size), reducing system complexity and enabling compact, space-saving hydraulic system designs.
Energy Efficient Operation — The DRG pressure control ensures that the pump delivers only the flow required to maintain the set pressure, automatically adjusting displacement in response to system demands. This reduces hydro-mechanical losses, minimizes heat generation, and lowers power consumption compared to fixed displacement systems.
High Reliability & Low Maintenance — With its robust construction, high-quality materials, wear-resistant components, and proven design, the pump ensures long-term operational stability with minimal maintenance requirements, reducing downtime and total cost of ownership.
