Products and performance

The APF-A2FO series of fixed-displacement axial piston pumps is engineered for high reliability and precision. Utilizing advanced axial piston technology and a compact design, these pumps ensure stable and reliable performance. By employing the reciprocating motion of pistons within the cylinder block to draw in and discharge fluid, they maintain a constant hydraulic flow—a critical requirement for various industrial applications demanding steady hydraulic power.
This introduction focuses on Size NG 180 variant, featuring a fixed displacement of 180 cm³/rev. It supports a maximum operating speed up to 1450 rpm, delivering a rated flow of 261 L/min under optimal working conditions. Built for heavy-duty high-pressure operation, the pump achieves a nominal working pressure of 400 bar and can withstand intermittent peak pressure up to 450 bar. Optimized rotary assembly and reinforced bearing configuration suppress vibration and noise under high rotational speed, securing outstanding volumetric efficiency and extended service life during continuous cyclic operation.
Ideally suited for applications requiring constant flow, this series operates efficiently within a speed range of 1,320 to 5,600 rpm. Thanks to their exceptional performance and durability, these pumps are widely used in sectors such as industrial and factory automation, mobile machinery, renewable energy, the steel industry, marine applications, and offshore drilling platforms.

One-piece conical piston with sealed piston ring.
- The factory assembly clearance between piston ball head and slipper ball socket is normally 0.015~0.025 mm.
- After prolonged service, the clearance enlarges. Parts can still be used if the clearance does not exceed 0.3 mm.
- Overlarge clearance will cause increased pulsation of pump outlet pressure and flow.
- In serious cases, loose slippers and slipper detachment may happen, further resulting in severe pump damage.
- Once signs of pressure and flow pulsation are detected, inspect slipper looseness in advance and conduct slipper re-clinching promptly.
- After long-term operation, concave deformation will form on the flat surface of the swash plate.
- The workpiece can be surface-ground followed by nitriding treatment.
- If the removed material thickness (e.g. 0.2 mm) does not completely eliminate the original nitrided layer, re-nitriding may be omitted.
- Hardness inspection of the swash plate surface is mandatory in such cases.
- Excessive bearing internal clearance will break the normal clearance of friction pairs and damage the oil film thickness of hydrostatic support, shortening the service life of piston pumps.
- The average service life of general bearings reaches 1000 hours (roughly more than two years). Bearings shall be replaced as appropriate after exceeding this service period.
- Replace with bearings of the identical model marked on the removed old bearing, or verified interchangeable alternatives.
- If grooves are scratched on the swash plate surface by piston ball heads (applicable to radial piston pumps), laser cladding with alloy powder is recommended for repair.
- Laser cladding ensures high bonding strength and hardness of deposited material without reducing the hardness of surrounding base metal.
- Manual overlay welding with chromium-type welding electrodes is an alternative method. The repaired swash plate surface requires re-heat treatment, preferably in a nitriding furnace.
- Regardless of the repair method adopted, the original dimensional accuracy, hardness and surface roughness of the swash plate must be restored.

Main Causes and Troubleshooting Methods for Hydraulic Pump No Oil Suction / No Oil Discharge
  • Damage to the hydraulic pump, pump motor, or coupling between motor and pump. Replace the faulty pump, motor or coupling in a timely manner.
  • Too low oil level in the tank or excessively high pump installation position causes suction failure. Refill oil to the gauge level or adjust the pump height to keep the suction lift within the specified range.
  • Oil impurities and increased viscosity block the suction filter and oil pipe. Clean pipes and filters regularly and replace with qualified hydraulic oil as required.
  • Oil impurities and increased viscosity block the suction filter and oil pipe. Clean pipes and filters regularly and replace with qualified hydraulic oil as required.
Main causes and troubleshooting methods for hydraulic pumps discharging oil but lacking pressure and exhibiting reduced efficiency.
  • Severe wear of internal sliding parts leads to low volumetric efficiency and excessive axial/radial clearance. Replace the hydraulic pump or perform complete overhaul.
  • Damaged oil pipes and poor suction-side sealing cause air intake. Check all connections, reseal joints or replace damaged pipelines.
  • Blocked oil pipes and heavily contaminated filters. Clean pipelines and filters thoroughly to ensure full flow cleanliness.
  • Incorrect variable pump adjustment and severely worn relief valve spool. Readjust flow parameters and replace worn relief valve components for stable pump operation.
  • Motor speed below rated value and internal foreign impurities. Match the correct motor per specifications and clean internal impurities timely.
Major Causes of Excessive Noise During Hydraulic Pump Operation and Methods for Troubleshooting
  • Mostly caused by clogged filter, low oil level, air inhalation via oil seal and pipelines. Check tank oil level, repair pipelines, inspect pump seals, clean pipes and filters, and replace hydraulic oil periodically.
  • Excessively high oil viscosity, low oil temperature and entrained air bubbles. Select suitable hydraulic oil according to seasons.
  • Damaged coupling or misalignment between pump and motor leads to heavy vibration and loud noise. Inspect coupling wear, replace coupling and complete alignment strictly as installation requirements.
  • Operating speed exceeds rated value and mismatched driving motor. Reduce pump speed and select a suitable motor.
  • Worn shaft seal causes air intake; loose pump end cover bolts. Replace pump shaft seal and tighten cover bolts.
  • Low gear precision, poor contact or damaged internal parts of gear pump. Replace or grind gears, renew damaged components.
  • Insufficient axial clearance, out-of-tolerance perpendicularity or parallelism. Replace the gear pump entirely.
  • Blockage inside relief valve. Clean or replace the relief valve.
  • Vibration generated by unfixed pipelines. Secure all hydraulic pipelines firmly.
Main Causes of Oil Leakage from Hydraulic Pump Bodies and Methods for Rectification
  • Failure of the piston pump central spring breaks sealing between cylinder block and valve plate. Replace the spring and re-seal the mating surface.
  • Damaged oil seals or worn/poorly fitted gaskets at pipeline connections. Replace all defective sealing parts.
  • Severe wear of internal pump parts resulting in oversized operating clearances. Replace or refit the relevant components.
Main Causes of Hydraulic Pump Overheating and Troubleshooting Methods
  • Excessively high or low oil viscosity, and accumulated impurities after long service. Replace hydraulic oil in a timely manner and adopt oil with proper viscosity.
  • Heavy wear between pump side plates, shaft sleeves and gear end faces leads to overheating. Replace side plates, shaft sleeves or install a new hydraulic pump.
  • Small tank volume restricts heat dissipation and triggers high oil temperature. Increase tank capacity and expand heat dissipation area.
