Pressure compensator design, simulation and performance evaluation of a variable displacement swash plate type axial piston pump

Year 2021, Volume: 39 Issue: 2, 123 - 130, 02.06.2021

Abstract

This work presents a simple design procedure of a pressure compensator of a swash plate type variable displacement axial piston pump (VDAPP). The route of the work mainly focuses on static design through balancing the torque given by the pump pistons, rate cylinder and stroking cylinder on the swash plate during cut-in (maximum flow) and cut-off (minimum flow) pressure condition of the system with an objective of minimizing the output pressure ripples. The outcome in terms of pressure from the dynamic simulation of the designed compensator with pump has been compare with experimental result obtained from a reference commercial pump has compensator with duel spool. The model has been used for performance prediction for wide variations of the load valve area settings.
