qHigh efficiency operation
with minimal power loss
All the performance of the original
new VDR series mechanisms
combines with precision machin-
ing for a pump that minimizes
power loss, especially at full cut-
off.
wQuiet operation
Journal bearings with a proven
record on IP pumps plus new suc-
tion and discharge port configura-
tions reduce operating noise and
deliver quiet operation with mini-
mal vibration, even in the high-
pressure range.
eCompact and simple
design, easy operation
Compact and quiet, VDS Series
variable vane pumps are economi-
cal and easy to handle. A simple
design allows use in a wide range
of hydraulic systems.
rPrecise characteristics,
prompt response
Prompt response at both ON-OFF
and OFF-ON ensures instanta-
neous, stable, high-precision oper-
ation.
tSolidly built for high effi-
ciency and long life
VDS Series pumps are built to
last, with a design that incorpo-
rates years of NACHI experience
and know-how. Specially selected
materials and skilled workman-
ship provide outstanding durability
along with stable, high-efficiency
operation.
¡Handling
zThe direction of rotation for this
pump is clockwise (rightward) when
viewed from the shaft side.
xDrain piping must be direct piping up
to a point that is below the tank fluid
level, and back pressure due to pipe
resistance should not exceed
0.03MPa.
cWhen adjusting pressure, pressure
is increased by clockwise (right-
ward) rotation of the adjusting screw
and decreased by counterclockwise
(leftward) rotation.
vWhen adjusting the flow rate, the
flow rate is decreased by clockwise
(rightward) rotation of the adjusting
screw and increased by counter-
clockwise (leftward) rotation. The
graph on the right provides general
guidelines for the relationship
between the rotation angle of the
flow rate adjusting screw and the no-
load discharge rate.

at the 0° position.
The broken line shows the flow volume

nThrust Screw
The thrust screw is precision adjust-
ed at the factory during assembly.
Never touch the thrust screw.
See callout 9 in the cross-section
diagram on page V-4.
mInitial Operation
Before operating the pump for the
first time, put the pump discharge
side into the no-load state and then
repeatedly start and stop the motor
to bleed all air from inside the pump
and the suction piping. After confirm-
ing that the pump is discharging oil,
continue the no-load operation for at
least 10 minutes to discharge all the
air from the circuit.
,For the hydraulic operating fluid, use
an R&O type and wear-resistant type
of ISO VG32 to 68 or equivalent (vis-
cosity index of at least 90). Use
hydraulic operating fluid that pro-
vides kinematic viscosity during
operation in the range of 20 to
150mm
2
/s.
.The operating temperature range is
15 to 60°C. When the oil temperature
at startup is 15°C or less, perform a
warm-up operation at low pressure
until the oil temperature reaches
15°C. Use the pump in an area where
the temperature is within the range
of 0 to 60°C.
