VANE PUMP PVH2-1X/041RA15DMB

General project planning notes

Intended use

Vane pumps are intended for the assembly of hydraulic drive systems in machine and system construction.

Technical data

The system or machine manufacturer must ensure compliance with the permissible technical data and operating conditions. The pump itself does not contain a device to prevent operation outside the permissible data. It is possible to operate the pump outside of the permissible technical data to a certain extent; the express written consent from Bosch Rexroth is, however, required. All specified technical performance features are median values and apply with the specified general conditions. In case of modifications to the general conditions (e.g., viscosity), the technical data may change as well. Scatter corresponding to the relevant state of technology is possible.

Hydraulic project planning

Air bleeding option for commissioning

For Rexroth PVH vane pumps, a manual or switchable air bleeding option for the initial commissioning or any recommissioning after maintenance and repair work is to be provided. The air bleeding point is to be set in the pressure line before the first valve or check valve. Air bleeding may be performed with a maximum counter pressure of 0,2 bar.

Suction line

The line cross sections are to be dimensioned for the specified flows such that an ideal suction speed of 0,6 to 0,6 m/s is achieved on average. The suction speed should not exceed a maximum value of 2 m/s.

The suction cross sections at the pump itself are designed for the maximum flow and therefore serve only as reference. In case of continuous operation at rotational speeds lower than the permissible maximum speed, the suction tube diameter is also to be dimensioned smaller than the suction port of the pump depending on the actual suction speed.

Overall, the suction line is to be designed so that the permissible inlet working pressure is maintained. Bends and a combination of suction pipes from several pumps are to be avoided. If the use of a suction filter is unavoidable, it must be ensured on the system side that the lowest permissible inlet working pressure is not exceeded even if the filter is contaminated.

Ensure the air tightness of the transitions and the pressure resistance of the suction hose with respect to the external air pressure.

The immersion depth of the suction pipe should be selected as large as possible (at least 100 mm at the lowest fluid level). Depending on the internal reservoir pressure, the viscosity of the operating medium and the flow conditions within the reservoir, no vortex may form even at maximum flow. There is otherwise a risk of air being drawn in. Return fluid and case drain fluid must not be immediately be drawn in again.

Pressure line

Sufficient burst resistance of the pipes, hoses and connecting elements must be ensured for pressure lines. The cross sections should be based on the maximum flow in order to avoid additional excessive loading of the pump due to back-pressure. Here, you must also take into account the pipe losses over the entire pressure line length and other line resistances (e.g., bends, pressure filters).

Pressure safeguarding

The PVH vane pump does not include any devices for adherence to the maximum working pressure. The setting and safeguarding of the permissible working pressure must be ensured on the system side.

The pressure-relief valves necessary for this purpose are to be designed with consideration given to the maximum flow and the rate of pressure increase that will occur such that the permissible intermittent working pressure is not exceeded.
