BQ FIXED DISPLACEMENT HYDRAULIC VANE PUMPS BQ SERIES Versatility, power, compactness and low running costs are the main characteristics of B&C vane pumps. All the components subject to wear are contained in a cartridge unit that can be easily removed for inspection and/or replacement without disconnecting the pump from the circuit, drastically reducing expensive machine down time. The cartridge contains a rotor, vanes and inserts, a cam ring, two flexible plates and two covers. During operation the rotor is driven by a splined shaft coupled to the drive unit. As the rotation speed increases, centrifugal forces, in combination with the pressure generated behind the vanes, push the vanes outwards, where they follow the profile of the cam with a sufficient contact pressure to ensure adequate hydraulic sealing. The two opposed pumping chambers formed by the elliptical profile of the cam cancel out radial loads on the shaft bearings, thereby giving them extremely long lifetimes. The design characteristics of the BQ series pumps make them particularly suited to applications in the mobile field. The special design of the flexible plates enables any thermal expansion in the rotor to be compensated for and to adequately cope with any sudden change in pressure. Furthermore, the counterpressure chambers positioned between the flexible plates and the cartridge covers balance the internal pressure; this ensures that the correct clearance between the rotor and the flexible plates is always maintained so guaranteeing maximum volumetric efficiency (see drawing). Flexible side plates Counter-pressure chambers The BQ series is available in five versions of single pump (from 8 to 23 at 12 rpm) and seven versions of double pump (from 55 to 37 at 12 rpm), with maximum powers of over 3. The BQ series pumps are extremely compact and are supplied with ISO norm mechanical couplings and SAE norm hydraulic fittings. This makes them very easy to install and guarantees their interchangeability with other similar pumps. 1

BQ Operating instructions Maximum speed: the maximum speeds given in this catalogue are valid for an atmospheric pressure of 1 bar (14.7 psi) and with ambient temperature in the range of +3 C to +5 C. Higher speeds than those given cause a reduction in the volumetric efficiency, due to cavitation phenomena in the inlet area inside the pump. Sustained excess speed causes a rapid deterioration of the internal components reducing the lifetime of the cartridge. Minimum speed: In general, the min. speed for all pumps is 6 rpm. However, it is possible to operate at lower speeds with certain pump configurations and with appropriate operating temperatures. Inlet pressure: the inlet pressure, measured at the inlet port, should remain within the prescribed limits. Note that pressures lower than minimum limit cause cavitation and pressures above the maximum limit cause abnormal loads on the shaft and the bearings. In both cases this causes a significant reduction in the lifetime of the cartridge. Maximum outlet pressure: the maximum outlet pressure is different for each type of fluid used as can be seen from the corresponding diagrams. With optimal temperature and filtration conditions a pressure peak of +1% is permissible for a maximum time of.5 sec. Mounting and drive connections: consider the following indications when preparing the installation drawings for the system: the pump is designed to operate with keyed shaft coupled axially and by means of a flexible coupling to the drive; the clearance between the keyed shaft and the corresponding sleeve coupling has to be between.4 and.3 mm; avoid axial and radial loads on the shaft; the mounting flange has to be perpendicular to the drive shaft, with a maximum error of.18 mm every 1 mm; when mounting onto a gearbox, or other component without a flexible coupling, it is advisable to order pumps with splined shaft. In this case the clearance between splines has to be between.13 and.51 mm on the pitch diameter. Hydraulic circuit: always install a pressure relief valve on the supply line to prevent the pressure from exceeding the allowed maximum. Normally, it is set in accordance with the weakest component in the system. (In the case where it is the pump, set the valve to a pressure 15% higher than the maximum pressure rating of the pump.) Inlet line tubing should have a section equal to or greater than that of the inlet port of the pump. It is advisable to keep the tube connecting the pump to the reservoir as short possible. Particular care has to be taken with the inlet line which has to be hermetically sealed to avoid entraining air into the circuit; this varies the characteristics of the hydraulic fluid causing the operating parts to become damaged. Filtration: the inlet line filter must have a flow rate capacity that is higher than that of the pump at its maximum operating speed. The filtration requirements for individual models are given in this catalogue. The use of a filter by-pass is recommended for cold starts and should the filter become clogged. Proper maintenance of the filter element is essential for the correct operation of the entire system. In normal conditions replace the filter element after the first 5 hours of operation. Subsequently, replace it at least every 5 hours. Regarding the filter on the return line, the same general conditions apply as for the inlet line and it should be positioned in an accessible location for ease of maintenance. Tank: if possible, the reservoir should be positioned above the pump. Otherwise, ensure that the minimum level of the fluid contained in it is higher than the pump inlet line opening. It is important to avoid draining the inlet line with the pump at standstill. The opening of the return line into the reservoir must remain below the minimum level of the fluid in the reservoir. It must not be positioned too close to the opening of the inlet line to avoid the possibility of any air bubbles passing into the inlet line. Baffles inside the reservoir may be useful in avoiding the problem. Rapid temperature changes can cause condensation on the underside of the lid of the reservoir with the formation of droplets of water that can fall into the oil. To avoid this problem it is recommended that the lid should have small vents so that the air space in the reservoir is ventilated. The vents have to be screened, though, to prevent the entry of dust or the sudden expulsion of fluid. Start-up: use the following procedure when the pump is started-up for the first time: completely fill the pump and the inlet line with fluid; start the engine for approximately one second a number of times at regular intervals of approximately 2 or 3 seconds until the noise level reduces, thereby confirming that it has been primed; with a manometer check to ensure that the outlet pressure increases slightly; once the pump has been primed, maintain low pressure levels activating all parts of the circuit a number of times until air bubbles disappear completely from the return line to the reservoir. This procedure should be carefully as any residual air inside the pump can quickly cause the rotor to seize. Cold starting: when starting the pump, especially with low ambient temperatures, operate with moderate speed and pressure until the average temperature in the entire circuit is within the given limits.
