Description

B & C Hydraulics BD series vane pumps are suitable for the most demanding of industrial and mobile hydraulic systems. The design provides versatile, reliable, high long-term volumetric efficiency and low noise levels.

All the components subject to wear are contained in a cartridge unit that can be easily removed for inspection and/or replacement without disconnecting the pump from the circuit, drastically reducing expensive machine down time. The cartridge contains a rotor, vanes and pins, a cam ring and two supports.

During operation the rotor is driven by a splined shaft coupled to the drive unit. As the rotation speed increases, centrifugal forces, in combination with the pressure generated behind the vanes, push the vanes outwards, where they follow the profile of the cam with a sufficient contact pressure to ensure adequate hydraulic sealing. The two opposed pumping chambers formed by the elliptical profile of the cam cancel out radial loads on the shaft bearings, thereby giving them extremely long lifetimes.

The special design of the double-lip vanes makes the BD series pumps particularly suitable for applications requiring high pressure levels and very low noise emissions.

The B & C Hydraulics BD series pumps are available in:

• three versions of single pump: BD02, BD04, BD05 – from 10 to 227 litres/minute at 1000 rpm
• four versions of double pump: BD22, BD42, BD52, BD54 – from 20 to 385 litres/minute at 1000 rpm, with input powers of over 328 KW at maximum pressure and speed

The BD series pumps are extremely compact and are supplied with SAE norm hydraulic flanges and shafts. This makes them very easy to install and guarantees their interchangeability with other similar pumps.
