The V & VQ series are fixed displacement and balanced type vane pumps. Available in both 12 vane design for industrial application with quiet operating and 10 vane design for mobile application with higher pressure and wider range of speed. The vane design with self compensation for wear and clearances makes volumetric efficiency of pumps nearly constant over the service life. With balanced intra-vane design, outlet pressure is continuously applied only to the area between the vane and insert. This area is small and thrust is correspondingly light. Top and bottom areas of the vane are subject to either inlet or outlet pressure, depending on the vanes location during rotation. The vane pump is not damaged at low speed and high pressure operation because pumping action does not start until the speed is high enough for the vane to throw out. With hydraulically balanced design, the bearing is externally loaded only. Therefore, the pump requires minimized maintenance with long service life.
The inlet or outlet ports can be rotated through increments of 90 degrees in relation to each other, providing application flexibility and easy installation. With optional flow control and priority valve covers, the pump can be used in more applications. The flow control cover can limit the flow to the primary circuit at the required flow rate, while diverts remaining flow to the tank. The priority valve cover maintains a constant flow to the primary circuit, while diverts remaining flow to the secondary circuit. Each cover comes with a relief valve to limit the maximum pressure of the primary circuit.

 

The VQ series vane pumps are available in both single and double sections. We have a large selection of cartridge kits in stock and can offer good savings from OEM spares.
