General description
The A11VO is a variable pump of a axial piston swashplate design for use in open circuit hydrostatic drives.
It is suitable for use in either mobile or industrial applications. The pump operates under selfpriming condi

tion, with tank pressurisation or with charge pump (impeller). A wide variety of controls are available. Setting
of the constant power control is possible via external adjustments, even when the unit is operating. The
pump is equipped with a through drive to accept a gear pump or a second axial piston pump up to the same
size (100 % through drive). Output flow is proportional to drive speed and pump displacement and is ste

plessly variable between zero and maximum.
Constant power control (LRDS)

The constant power control controls the output

volume of the pump in relation to the operating
pressure so that, at a constant drive speed, the
preset drive power is not exceeded.

Operating pressure
pB (bar)

pB x Vg = constant
Setting range pB = Operating pressure
Start of control Vg = Displacement
Optimum power usage is obtained by accurately
following the power hyperbola.

Vgmin Displacement

Operating pressure applies a force on piston (3)

within the control piston on the rocker arm (2). An
externally adjustable spring force is applied to the
other side of the rocker to determine the power
setting.
Should the operating pressure exceed the set
spring force, the pilot control valve (1) is operated
via the rocker arm (2), allowing the pump to swiv

el towards zero output. This in turn reduces the
effective moment on the arm of the rocker, thus
allowing the operating pressure to rise in the
same ratio by which the output flow is reduced
(pB x Vg = constant).

HYDRAULIC

Pressure cutoff (LRDS)

Integral pressure cutoff (LRDS)
Integral pressure cutoff
Setting range

Operating pressure pB (bar)

The pressure cutoff is in effect a constant pres

sure cotrol which swivels the pump back to Vgmin
when the preset operating pressure is reached.
This function overrides the constant power con

trol, i. e. the constant power control is effective
below the the preset operating pressure. The
pressure valve cutoff (4) is integrated into the
control housing and is set in the factory to a fixed
pressure.
Setting range from 50 to 320 bar (size 35).
Settting range from 50 to 370 bar (size 60 250).

Vgmin

Displacement

Vgmax

Load sensing (LRDS)

The load sensing valve (5) is a flow control valve
which operates as a function of the load pressure
to regulate the pump displacement in order to
match the requirement of the consumer unit. The
pump flow is influenced by the external orifice
(control block, throttle) fitted between pump and
serviced unit, but is not affected by load pressure
throughout the the range below the power curve.

Operating pressure pB (bar)

The valve compares pressure before and after

the orifice and maintains the pressure drop (dif

ferential pressure) across the orifice and there

fore the pump flow constant.
If differential pressure increases, the pump is
swivelled back towards Vgmin, and differential
pressure decreases the pump is swivelled out to

wards Vgmax, until a balance is restored within the
valve.
pdiff = ppump pservice unit

Vgmin

1043

Displacement

Differential pressure may be set within the range

14 bar to 25 bar. The standard setting is 18 bar.
The standby pressure for zero stroke operation
(orifice closed) is approx. 2 bar above the differ

ential pressure setting. The constant power con

trol and the pressure cutoff are superimposed
on the load sensing valve, i. e. the load sensing
function operates below the set power hyperbola
and set pressure.

DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTION:
Hydraulic pilot units type TH6 operate on the basis of direct operating pressure reducing valves.
They comprise mainly the operating element (1), the valve cartridge comprising regulating spool (2), regulat

ing spring (3), return spring (4), plunger (5) and the housing (6).
Pilot units TH6 offer pressurerelated fine adjustment of valves, pump and motor control.
In neutral position, the operating element is held in zero position by return spring (4). When lever (1) is oper

ated, the plunger (5) is pushed against the return spring (4) by means of the switch plate (7). At the same
time, the regulating spool (2) is pushed through the regulating spring (3). When the regulating stroke begins,
there is a connection from port P via bore (8) and ports 1, 2, 3 or 4 to the unit to be controlled (valve, pump
or motor). These controlles are related to the lever position and the regulating spring characteristic.
A special feature of the TH6 pilot unit is the increase in the fine control range when using Rexroth high pres

sure mobile control blocks and sandwich mobile control blocks. This range is indicated by definite reference
points.
In connection with the pilot oil supply system, the pressure remote can function without a separate pilot
pump. Hand emergency is guaranteed when the prime mover is not running, due to the oil supply in the
accumulator of this system.
Rubber gaiter (9) protects the mechanical components from contamination, so that the pilot units are suit

able for the most difficult applications conditions.

The function of sense bore (2) can be compared with the function of an adjustable nozzle. The sense bore
(2) causes a difference pressure between the variable pump and the use (e. g. variable motor, hydraulic
cylinder).
5.3.2.2. FUNCTION OF PRESSURE SCALE VALVE
The function of pressure scale valve (1) can be compared with a hydraulic controlled pressure limiting valve
which is controlled by the pressure from the use creating the highest pressure.
5.3.3.

FUNCTION OF HYDR. CONTROL SYSTEM (LUDV) WITH ONE USER (E. G. MAIN HOIST

LIFTING")

At control of hydr. joystick main hoist lifting" the control oil passes from joystick block H21 via port 1 and
a nozzle to port a2 at the LUDV block A50. Through an internal bore the control oil passes to the control
port of main piston (5). The main piston moves, sense bore (2) opens and at the same time the main piston
(5) gives direction into lifting". The pressure from sense bore (2) acts on pressure scale valve (1) and sets
the internal piston in correspondence to the working pressure. The oil from variable pumps EA, HA can pass
via the opened main piston (5) and connections A2 and A2 to the hydraulic motor HU.
Via the pressure scale valve (1) the working pressure is sensed through port (LS) of the control block A50
at the load sensing valves (5) of the variable pumps EA, HA through part X.
The output of variable pumps EA, HA increases. The pressure scale valve (1) has only got two positions:
opened or closed.
If the oil flow to the user changes due to the different control from the joy stick, the pressure difference be

tween pump and user (e. g. hydr. motor) changes at sense bore (2) of the control block more or less. That
means for a short time the oil flow to the sense bore (2) is the same but the opening of the main piston (5)
is smaller or bigger.
That causes a pressure change at the sense bore (2) which is sensed at the load sensing valve (5) of the
variable pumps EA, HA. The load sensing valve (5) corrects this pressure change by changing the pump
control oil and due to that the pitch of the variable pumps until a basic pressure difference of approx. 20 bar
has set up again (adjusted at load sensing valve (5) of the variable pumps EA, HA).
5.3.4.

FUNCTION OF HYDR. CONTROL SYSTEM (LUDV) WITH TWO USERS (E. G. MAIN HOIST
AND SLEWING)

5.3.4.1. BOTH USERS ARE OPERATED WITH DIFFERENT WORKING PRESSURES AND FULL SPEED
(SATURATION MODE)
At operation of both users the highest pressure is setting up at pressure scale valves (1) via main pistons
(5). The pressure at the corresponding sense bores (2) will be always controlled to the highest working pres

sure. That means, the pressure before and behind all sense bores (2) are the same. The pressure between
the variable pumps and the users will be kept at a costant value by the load sensing valve (5) inside the
variable pumps EA, HA.

HYDRAULIC
5.3.4.2. MORE USERS IN OPERATION
If the oil consumption of all users used at the time is higher than as the max. pump output, the pressure
difference between the highest working pressure and the pump pressure gets smaller and therefore all pres

sure differences at the sense bores (2). The working pressure remains at a constant value.
That means, the distribution of the oil flow to all users will be reduced at the same relation as well as the actual
speeds of all users.
Characteristics of oil flow:
At max. pump delivery (e. g. 100l/min) one user is operated needing 80 % of that delivery.
At operation of a second user needing another 50 % of the pump delivery the oil flow to both users will be
reduced at a ratia of 8:5 (61,5 l : 38,5 l).
Characteristics of pressure:
At max. pump delivery (e. g. 100 l/min) and operation of one user with 100 % the pressure difference between
the variable pump and the user will be approx. 20 bar (adjusted at load sensing valve (5) of variable pumps).
At operation of a second user with another 100 % the pressure difference wil drop from 20 bar to approx.
10 bar.
The oil flow to both users will be limited to approx. 50 l/min each.
