Service Manual Series 42 Axial Piston Closed Circuit Pumps Functional Description Charge pump O-ring Gerotor cover Seal Coupling Square key Gerotor set Retainer Orientation ring P108 065E The charge pump is a fixed-displacement, gerotor type pump. The main pump drives the charge pump off the main shaft.
P108 095E Filtration options Series 42 pumps may be equipped with provisions for either suction or charge pressure filtration to filter the fluid entering the circuit. Suction filtration The suction filter is in the circuit between the reservoir and the inlet to the charge pump.
Page 13
Charge pressure filtration The pressure filter is remotely mounted in the circuit after the charge pump. You may use partial or full flow pressure filtration circuits with Series 42 pumps. Without a filter adapter, suction filtration is the only option.
Charge check / high pressure relief valves All series 42 pumps have a combination charge check/high pressure relief valve. The charge check function allows pressurized flow from the charge pump to enter the low pressure side of the loop. This flow is necessary to replenish fluid discharged to the pump/motor case for lubrication and cooling requirements.
P100394E Auxiliary mounting pads SAE A and SAE B auxiliary mounting flanges are available on all Series 42 pumps and are integral to the charge pump cover. This flange allows mounting of auxiliary hydraulic pumps and mounting of additional Series 42 pumps to make tandem pumps. The pads allow full through-torque capability.
