Many factors need to be considered when selecting an axial piston pump: First, determine the operating pressure range. For industrial applications, the A4VSO series with a nominal pressure of 350 bar is usually selected, and for mobile machinery, the A10VSO series with a nominal pressure of 250 bar can be selected. The flow demand determines the displacement size. For continuous operation, 70-80% of the rated flow of the pump should be selected as the operating point. In terms of control mode, fixed equipment often uses a constant pressure variable pump (A4VSO DR), and load-sensitive pumps (A10VSO LRDS) are selected for energy saving. When the installation space is limited, consider the through-drive design, and multiple pumps can be connected in series. The ambient temperature affects the selection of oil viscosity, and the low-temperature starting characteristics need to be considered in cold areas. For closed-loop applications such as mobile machinery, select the specially designed A4VSG or A10VZG series. Low-noise designs, such as A2FO metering pumps, should be selected for noise-sensitive occasions. In addition, compatibility with existing equipment, maintenance convenience, and supplier technical support capabilities must also be considered.
