The AR16/AR22 pump belongs to the axial piston pump family, which utilizes a series of pistons arranged in a circular pattern within a cylindrical block.
These pistons are actuated by a rotating swashplate, which converts the rotary motion of the input shaft into linear motion of the pistons. This mechanism allows the pump to generate hydraulic pressure by displacing fluid in a controlled manner.
One of the primary specifications of the AR16/AR22 pump is its displacement capacity. The pump is available in two versions: the AR16 with a displacement of 16 cc/rev (cubic centimeters per revolution) and the AR22 with a displacement of 22 cc/rev. The displacement capacity determines the volume of fluid that the pump can deliver per revolution and is an essential parameter for sizing hydraulic systems.
Another important specification of the AR16/AR22 pump is its maximum operating pressure. These pumps are designed to handle high-pressure applications, and the maximum operating pressure for both models is typically around 350 bar (35000 kPa) or 5075 psi. This high-pressure capability makes the AR16/AR22 pump suitable for demanding hydraulic systems that require efficient power transmission.
The efficiency of the AR16/AR22 pump is another notable feature.
These pumps are designed to minimize energy losses and maximize overall system efficiency. The efficiency is typically above 90%, which means that a significant portion of the input power is effectively converted into hydraulic power, resulting in reduced energy consumption and improved system performance.
The AR16/AR22 pump also offers a range of additional features and options to enhance its versatility and functionality. These pumps can be equipped with various control options such as pressure compensators, load-sensing controls, and electro-hydraulic proportional controls. These controls allow the pump to respond to changes in system demand and maintain consistent pressure or flow, optimizing the overall system performance.
Furthermore, the AR16/AR22 pump is designed for durability and long service life. It incorporates high-quality materials, precision engineering, and advanced sealing technologies to ensure reliable operation even in harsh operating conditions. The pump is also designed for easy maintenance, with accessible components and service points, facilitating routine inspections and repairs.
