5 Product description
5.1 Performance description
The axial piston variable double pump generates, controls and regulates a
hydraulic-uid ow. It is designed for mobile applications such as construction
machinery.
Refer to data sheet 93223 and the order conrmation for the technical data,
operating conditions and operating limits of the axial piston unit.
5.2 Product description
The A21VG is a variable double pump with two axial piston rotary groups in
swashplate design for hydrostatic drives in closed circuits. The two ows are
proportional to the drive speed and the displacement. The ow can be steplessly
changed by controlling the cradle (11). Both circuits can be adjusted independent
of one another. For axial piston units with swashplate design, the pistons are
arranged axially with respect to the drive shaft.
In the closed circuit, the hydraulic uid ows from the hydraulic pump to the
consumer (e.g. the hydraulic motor) and from there directly back to the hydraulic
pump.
There is a high-pressure side and a low-pressure side which alternate depending
on which side is under load.
