This paper proposes a scaling law for estimating the speed limitations for a family of axial-piston swash-plate type hydrostatic machines. The speed limitations for this machine are considered from three mechanical perspectives: (1) cylinder-block tipping, (2) cylinder-block filling, and (3) slipper-tipping. As shown in the results of this research, each speed limitation is scaled by the inverse of the cube root of the volumetric displacement for the new machine. In other words, small machines are shown to have a higher speed capacity than larger machines. By scaling a baseline machine using the scale laws that are presented here, a new machine may be produced that obeys a simple rule related only to the volumetric displacement of the new machine. Serendipitously, and perhaps most usefully, all three speed limitations obey the same rule! The speed limitations that are derived in this research are compared to existing industry data of currently scaled products and it is shown that the proposed scale laws correspond well with this data.

Axial Piston

Variable displacement swash plate pumps are invariably used under conditions that involve heavy loads with variable flow demands. Swash plate pumps with conical cylinder blocks are now widely used in view of their good static and dynamic characteristics. However, drive shafts of these pumps experience dynamic loads due to the pressure forces transmitted through the body of the conical cylinder block to the supporting bearings. Dynamics of such rotating mechanism are quite interesting and should be considered in the design process of the drive shaft and the supporting bearings. A mathematical model is formulated for a 9-piston swash plate pump with conical cylinder block in order to evaluate the dynamic loads on the drive shaft. Results are presented and discussed.

Spring Force

This research begins by presenting a nontraditional pump design which utilizes a piston-bore spring. The piston-bore spring is included in this design for the purpose of holding the cylinder block against the valve plate and for forcing the pistons in the negative x-direction. By forcing the pistons in this direction, the piston-bore spring also assists in holding the slippers against the swash plate during the normal operation of the pump. Though these advantages of the design may be readily seen by inspection, it is not obvious how the control torque on the swash plate is effected by the piston-bore spring nor is it obvious how one would go about designing the spring to produce a favorable result. To clarify the benefit of this design, a mechanical analysis is conducted to describe the effect of the spring on the control torque itself. As a result of this analysis, a general equation which describes the swash-plate motion is presented. Within this equation, it may be seen that the spring force provides a restoring force on the swash plate which tends to stabilize the design. The piston-bore spring is also shown to be capable of eliminating the cross-over from a stroke increasing swash-plate torque to a stroke decreasing swash-plate torque. By eliminating this cross over, the backlash in the pump control (which is commonly observed in practice) can be prevented.

A research project at the Institute for Fluid Power Drives and Controls (IFAS) sponsored a simulation tool, which was developed to analyze the tribological contacts in an axial piston machine. This paper describes the comparison between simulation and measurement results. The research project defined several objectives. These included extending the program for the tribological contacts, such as slipper/swash plate and cylinder block/valve plate pairings. Furthermore, the results of the simulations were to be verified by means of measurements conducted on the test rig and these were to be performed on a standard unit, if possible. The values to compare simulation and measurement must first be defined in order to meet these objectives.

Power density is an assumed attribute of an axial-piston swash-plate type hydrostatic machine. As such, very little research has been conducted to examine the nature and limit of this machine's power density and the literature is all but void of this important topic. This paper is being written to fill this void, and to provide a thorough analysis of the machine's power density. This paper is also aimed at identifying the most significant parameters that may be adjusted to increase the power density for a typical machine. As shown in this research, the power density of an axial-piston machine depends upon four dimensionless quantities that are characteristic of the machine's rotating group. As it turns out, the allowable stress for the cylinder block is the most sensitive parameter that may be adjusted for increasing the power density of this machine. It is further shown that increasing the machine's swash-plate angle, and reducing the minimum overhang length for the pistons, will have a significant impact on the power density as well. It is significant to note that altering the number of pistons in the design has essentially no impact on the power density of the machine and therefore the selection of this design parameter must be based upon other design objectives. In conclusion, it is shown in this paper that the power density of a typical machine may be increased by as much as 64% by altering a few of these parameters within a realistic realm of constraint.

Kinematics analysis based on the structure parameters of SCY14-1B type axial piston pump is taken in this paper, and the motion laws of the pistons relative to the cylinder block and the swash plate are got. A matlab simulation of the motion law is taken and the comparison between theoretical analysis and simulated results is very good. We get the following conclusions: The displacement, velocity and acceleration of the motion of the piston relative to the swash plate is simple harmonic.The motion trajectory of the piston relative to the swash plate is an ellipse. The swash plate angle has a significant effect on the motion of the piston, which will inevitably affect the instantaneous flow rate of the pump and flow pulsation coefficient.
