viscosity ν in mm2/s
Attention:
For the operation with water-containing HF-fluids the variable
pump KVA is not suitable.
Viscosity range
We recommend that a viscosity (at operating temperature) for
optimum efficiency and service life purposes of
νopt = opt. operating viscosity 16...36 mm2/s
be chosen, taken the tank temperature (open circuits) into
account.
Limits of viscosity range
The following values apply in extreme cases:
νmin = 5 mm2/s
short term (t < 3 min.) at max. permitted temperature
tmax = 115°C.
νmax = 1600 mm2/s
short term (t < 3 min.) with cold start (p < 30 bar,
n ≤ 1000 rpm, tmin = -25°C).
Note that the maximum hydraulic fluid temperature of 115°C
must not be exceeded locally either (e.g. bearing area). The
temperature in the bearing area is - depending on pressure and
speed - up to 12 K higher than the average case drain tempe-
rature.
This axial piston unit can not be operated in a temperature
range of less than -25°C.

Details regarding the choice of hydraulic fluid
The correct selection of hydraulic fluid requires knowledge of
the operating temperature in relation to the ambient tempera-
ture, in an open circuit the tank temperature.
The hydraulic fluid should be selected so that within the
operating temperature range, the operating viscosity lies within
the optimum range (νopt) (see shaded section of the selection
diagram). We recommend that the highest possible viscosity
range should be chosen in each case.
Example: At an ambient temperature of X° C an operating tem-
perature of 60° C is set in the circuit. In the optimum viscosity
range (νopt; shaded area) this corresponds to the viscosity
classes VG 46 or VG 68; to be selected: VG 68.
Please note: The case drain temperature, which is affected by
pressure and rotational speed, is always higher than the tank
temperature. At no point in the system may the temperature be
higher than 115°C.
If this cannot be achieved due to unusual operating parameters
or high ambient temperatures, please contact us.

Filtration
The finer the filtration, the cleaner the fluid and the longer the
service life of the axial piston unit.
To ensure proper function of the axial piston unit, the hydraulic
fluid must have a cleanliness level of at least
20/18/15 according to ISO 4406.
At very high hydraulic fluid temperatures (90°C to max. 115°C),
a cleanliness level of at least
19/17/14 according to ISO 4406 is required.
Please contact us, if these cleanliness levels cannot be achie-
ved.

The pressure control keeps the pressure in a hydraulic system

Installation Notes
General
During commissioning and operation, the axial piston unit must be filled with hydraulic fluid and air bled. This is also to be obser-
ved following a relatively long standstill as the system can be drained through the hydraulic lines.
The case is connected to the inlet port S. A seperate case drain to tank is not required.
Exception: version with DRS control. When using the DRS control a drain line from port T to tank is mandatory to maintain thermal
stability.
In all operating conditions, the suction and drain line must flow into the tank below the minimum fluid level.
The minimum suction pressure at port S must not fall below 0,8 bar absolute.
Installation position
As to the examples mentioned below.

General Notes
– The KVA pump is designed to be used in open circuits.
– Project planning, assembly and commissioning of the pump require the involvement of trained personnel.
– The working and functional ports are only designed to accommodate hydraulic piping.
– There is a danger of burns from the pump and especially the solenoids during and shortly after operation. Suitable safety
precautions, e.g. protective clothing plan.
– The characteristic curve may shift depending on the operating status (operating pressure, fluid temperature) of the pump.
– Tightening torques:
- The tightening torques specified in this data sheet are maximum values and may not be exceeded (maximum value for screw
thread). Manufacturer specifications for the max. permissible tightening torques of the used fittings must be observed!
- For DIN 13 fastening screws we recommend checking the tightening torque individually according to VDI 2230
Edition 2003.
– The data and information contained herein must be adhered to.
