Principles of operation:
A- Pump operation:
Rotation of the pump drive shaft causes the cylinder block, shoe plate and pistons to rotate (See Figure 2). The piston shoes are held
against the yoke face by the shoe plate. The angle of the yoke face creates a reciprocating motion to
each piston within the cylinder block. Inlet and outlet ports connect to a kidney slotted wafer plate. As the pistons move out of the cylinder
block, a vacuum is created and fluid is forced into the void by atmospheric pressure. The fluid moves with the cylinder block past the intake
kidney slot. The motion of the piston reverses and fluid is pushed out of the cylinder block into the outlet port.

B- Pump controls:
Pressure Compensator Controls “C” & “CM”
The standard “C” and low pressure “CM” compensator
controls are internally pilot operated, spring offset, 2-way
valves. Their purpose is to limit system pressure to a desired
level by varying pump displacement. These
controls only provide the flow required to satisfy the load
demand, while maintaining a constant preset pressure.
When system pressure decreases below the compensator pressure setting, the compensator spool returns to its original position and
the yoke returns to maintain maximum pump displacement.
The compensator is available in two pressure ranges. The “C” spring has an adjustment range of 70–250 bar (1015–3625 psi). The
“CM” spring has an adjustment range of 40–130 bar (580–1885 psi).
