PM10 - Variable displacement pump POCLAIN HYDRAULICS

Inlet pressure
Charge pump inlet pressure is key for acceptable pump life and performances. A continuous inlet pressure of not less than 0,8 bar abs. [11.6
PSI abs.] is recommended. An continuous inlet pressure less than 0.5 bar abs. [7.2 PSI abs.] indicates inadequate inlet design or a restricted
filter. Pressures less than 0.5 bar abs. [7.2 PSI abs.] can happen at cold start, but should increase with oil temperature.
Theoretical output
Theoretical output flow is a function of pump displacement and speed. It is relevant to size the rest of the circuit. Theoretical flow does not take
into account losses due to leakage or variations in displacement. Refer to performances, page 6, for volumetric and overall efficiencies at
various operating speeds and pressures.
Poclain Hydraulics recommandations for fluid
Poclain hydraulics recommends the use of hydraulic fluids defined by the ISO 15380 and ISO 6743-4 standards.
For temperate climates, the following types are recommended.
• HM 46 or HM 68 for fixed installations.
• HV 46 or HV 68 for mobile installations.
• HEES 46 for mobile installations.
These specifications correspond to category 91H of the CETOP standard, parts 1, 2 and 3 of the DIN 51524 standard,
and grades VG32, VG 46 and VG68 of the ISO 6743-4 standards.
It is also possible to use ATF, HD, HFB, HFC or HFD type hydraulic fluid upon Poclain Hydraulics specific approval of the
components’ operating conditions.
Standardized designations for the fluids
• HM : Mineral fluids having specific antioxidant, anticorrosion and antiwear properties (HLP equivalent to DIN 51524
parts 1 and 2).
• HV : HM mineral fluids providing improved temperature and viscosity properties (DIN 51524 part 3).
• HEES :Biodegradable fluids based on organic esters.
It is also possible to use a fluid that meets the biodegradability criteria and is compatible in the event of
accidental food contact. The BIOHYDRAN FG 46 fluid designed by the company Total has undergone testing of
its properties and performance on our test benches. Since this type of fluid has not yet been categorized, it is the
responsibility of machine manufacturers to validate its compatibility with all of the components used in order to
guarantee that the intended functions will be fulfilled and this for the desired life time of all equipment items.
During operation, the temperature of the oil must be between 0°C [32°F] and 80°C [176°F]; the minimum and
maximum temperatures may be exceeded momentarily by ± 20°C [± 68°F] for a duration of less than 30 minutes.
For all applications outside these limits, please consult with your Poclain Hydraulics’ application engineer.
Pump storage
If the pump stays on stock for more than 6 months, a status verification must be performed before you install it on a
machine. Pay attention to sealing condition, rust presence and free rotation of shaft.
