Piston Pump

Danfoss Power Solutions

The 210/250cm3 pump frame sizes complete the H1 family of piston pumps and bent-axis motors for high-power mobile machines. With these additions, the range comprises 14 pumps with displacements covering 45-250cm3 and five control options. A patented integrated speed limitation (ISL) circuit adds to the high-level pump functionality, enabling improved vehicle braking with no risk of engine overspeed. H1 automotive control (AC) is pre-SIL 2 certified. The company has also supplemented H1 AC with Eco Mode and Cruise Control options, which cuts fuel consumption by up to 20%. The entire H1 family is compatible with Danfoss PLUS+1® control platform, including pre-tested software blocks that save on system development time.
