Rated Speed: The rated speed of the hydraulic pump for the Caterpillar 320GC and 323GX excavators is generally in the range of 1000 - 2000 rpm. Operating within this speed range ensures efficient performance and stable operation while minimizing wear and tear on internal components like pistons, cylinder blocks, and valves. Staying within the rated speed helps maintain the pump's reliability and extends its service life.
Maximum Speed: The maximum allowable speed is approximately 2500 rpm. Continuous operation at the maximum speed can lead to increased wear and a reduced lifespan of the pump. It is advisable to keep the pump's operation within the rated speed range to avoid potential damage and ensure the long-term functionality of the hydraulic system.
