| A new generation of radial piston pumps by Moog |
13 April 2006 - Moog Controls
Low noise, greater reliability, easy control options are demands on modern piston pumps. To lower both the noise emission and the high and low-pressure pulsation, the number of pistons of a radial piston pump is increased from 7 to 9. By means of CFD and FE calculation the suction path of the RKP is optimized as a compromise between hydraulic (low pressure drop, small inductivity) and mechanic (small deformation, low stresses) functionality. Pressure drop along the suction path was reduced by 20%. The sound emission of the new radial piston pump generation was reduced by up to 5dB(A) in sound power that corresponds to a reduction of wide more than 50%. A new stroke ring design eliminates a possible place of wear. The DCP (Digital Interface Pump) is a new servo radial piston pump adjustment based on a new pilot valve with digital onboard electronics offering an enhanced functionality. |
