External Shaft Seal Pressure

Temperature and Viscosity

Series 90 Axial Piston Pumps
In certain applications the input shaft seal may be exposed to external pressure. In order to prevent
damage to the shaft seal the maximum differential pressure from external sources must not exceed 0.4
bar (5.8 psi) over pump case pressure. The case pressure limits of the pump must also be followed to
ensure the shaft seal is not damaged.
C
Caution
Regardless of the differential pressure across the shaft seal, the shaft seal has been known to pump oil
from the external source (e. g. gear box) into the pump case.
Temperature
The high temperature limits apply at the hottest point in the transmission, which is normally the motor
case drain. The system should generally be run at or below the quoted rated temperature.
The maximum intermittent temperature is based on material properties and should never be
exceeded.
Cold oil will generally not affect the durability of the transmission components, but it may affect the
ability of oil to flow and transmit power; therefore temperatures should remain 16 °C [30 °F] above the
pour point of the hydraulic fluid.
The minimum temperature relates to the physical properties of component materials.
Size heat exchangers to keep the fluid within these limits. Danfoss recommends testing to verify that
these temperature limits are not exceeded.
Viscosity
For maximum efficiency and bearing life, ensure the fluid viscosity remains in the recommended range.
The minimum viscosity should be encountered only during brief occasions of maximum ambient
temperature and severe duty cycle operation.
The maximum viscosity should be encountered only at cold start.
