In the development of applicative software for mathematical modelling, identification, and optimization of parameters of axial piston pumps, special attention is paid to the real need of the engineers' practice. We used the original graphical 2D and 3D software for the application in real-time with a simultaneous presentation and processing in 24 windows of high resolution. Here it is mentioned that during optimization and identification of axial piston pump's parameters, we automatically form and present several hundreds of the complex 2D diagrams, which enables to intervene at any point in the study of hydrodynamic processes by the change of input data, where the following flow of identification and optimization is changed.

The timing definition of valve plates is one of the most complex topics in the piston pump designs because it affects many pump characteristics (such as efficiency, swashplate stroking, stabilities, noise, etc.). In the study, the pressure carryover is introduced and defined as the average angular positions to locate piston pressure transitions from the top dead center (TDC) or bottom dead center (BDC) in the piston pump. Pressure carryover presents the overall outcome of the pressure transitions within piston bores. The new pressure carryover definition is derived by the timing angles and other geometrics of valve plates that is an approximation of the practical pressure transitions. The pressure carryover also determines the containment forces and moments on the swashplate produced by the pumping pistons. The relationship between the pressure carryover angle and the containment moment has been developed and analyzed in the study. The amplitudes and frequencies of the forces and moments can be changed by varying the pressure carryover angle that produce different tonalities and control efforts for the swashplate type axial-piston pumps. Therefore, the pressure carryover is the most important and straightforward connection between pump dynamics and valve plate designs. In order to optimize the pump performance, the piston pressure carryover might be investigated thoroughly for the pump and its controller designs.

The article considers the flow of the working fluid in the discharge channel of the axial piston pump with end distribution. Geometric region shapes of the channels, currently used in axial piston pumps, negatively affecting the dynamic parameters of the flow flowing through it, are determined by numerical simulation. The configuration of the channel cavity allowing a more uniform distribution of dynamic parameters over the volume of the fluid flow is proposed. The optimal ratio between the reference dimensions adopted for constructing a three-dimensional model of the channel was determined based on the study of the dependence of the power factor value, the amount of movement in the output section vs the shape of the channel. Energy loss due to flowing the working fluid through the channel is reduced. The resulting force effect on the discharge pipe and other elements connected to the pump is reduced and the vibroacoustic characteristics of the pump unit are improved.

The manufacturing development of axial piston pumps usually takes the trend of high speed and miniaturization, and increases power density. Axial piston pumps are usually characterized as high speed to improve the power density; thus, high-speed churning losses caused by the internal rotating components stirring the oil can increase significantly. In order to improve the efficiency, more attention should be given to the churning losses in axial piston pumps, especially in high-speed conditions. Using the method of least-squares curve fitting, this paper establishes a series of formulas based on the churning losses test rig over a wide range of speeds, which enable accurate predictions of churning losses on the cylinder block and pistons. The reduction coefficient of flow resistance of multi-pistons as calculated. The new churning losses formula devoted to the cylinder block and rotating pistons was validated by comparison with experimental evidence in different geometries of axial piston pumps. According to the prediction model of churning losses, some valuable guidance methods are proposed to reduce the energy losses of the axial piston pump, which are the theoretical support for the miniaturization of axial piston pump manufacturing.

Analysis of a variable displacement axial piston pump, as in other complex fluid power and mechanical systems, requires appropriate insight into three multidisciplinary domains, i.e., hydraulics, mechanics and tribology. In recent years, at FPRL, modelling of axial piston pumps has evolved in AMESim (one-dimensional code) where a three-dimensional mechanical approach has required generation of proprietary libraries leading to the evaluation of internal forces/reactions in all pump subsystems. Tribologic aspects in axial piston pumps modelling are also being investigated but AMESim, in this respect, does not appear as the appropriate computational environment. Consequently, a new approach has been initiated grounded on MSC.ADAMS. In this perspective, the paper details how the model has been developed through proprietary macros that automatically originate all pump subsystems parametrically and further apply required constraints and forces (springs, contacts and pressure forces). The ADAMS environment has also been selected due to co-simulation capabilities with AMESim. Accordingly, the paper elucidates how the entire modelling has been construed where hydraulics is managed in AMESim while ADAMS takes care of mechanics. A comparison between simulated and experimental steady-state characteristics of the axial pump is also presented. As such this paper indicates an innovative methodology for the analysis of complex fluid power systems in the hope that, eventually, tribology will also fit into the scene.

Dynamic lubrication characteristics between a piston and a cylinder in an axial piston pump and motor have been calculated under mixed-lubrication conditions. The calculated results have shown that half-frequency whirling of the piston occurs under some operating conditions and specifications such as low supply pressure, narrow clearance and long sealing length between the piston and the cylinder, in a manner similar to the oil whirl phenomenon in journal bearings. The whirl phenomenon has been confirmed by measurements of piston motion.

Abstract Vibration signal is a good indicator of cavitation in axial piston pumps. Some vibration-based machine learning methods have been developed for recognizing the pump cavitation. However, their fault diagnostic performance is often unsatisfactory in industrial applications due to the sensitivity of the vibration signal to noise. In this paper, we presented an intelligent method to recognize the cavitation severity of an axial piston pump under noisy environment. First, we adopted short-time Fourier transformation to convert the raw vibration data into spectrograms that acted as input images of a modified LeNet-5 convolutional neural network (CNN). Second, we proposed a denoising method for the converted spectrograms based on frequency spectrum characteristics. Finally, we verified the proposed method on the dataset from a test rig of high-speed axial piston pump. The experimental results indicate that the denoising method significantly improves the diagnostic performance of the CNN model under noisy environment. For example, the accuracy rate of the cavitation recognition increases from 0.52 to 0.92 at SNR of 4 dB by the denoising method.

The suction dynamics of axial piston pumps become more critical if the pump is to be used at high speeds. In order to prevent air-release and cavitation from occurring within the pump it is necessary to pressurise the pump inlet. As the speed of a pump is increased, higher boost pressures are required, due to the extra losses incurred through the suction line and portplate at the higher flowrates. However, the lack of data regarding axial piston pump behavior at high speeds creates problems for the system designer in selecting suitable boost conditions and for the pump designer in selecting the portplate configuration that is required to reduce fluid-borne-noise levels. This paper discusses the suction performance of piston pumps, and presents experimental and simulation results exploring the behavior of a high-speed axial-piston pump. Different air-release and cavitation models that are suitable for simulation studies are investigated.

This paper discusses and analyzes the control volume of a piston bore constrained by the valve plate in axial piston pumps. The vacuum within the piston bore caused by the rise volume needs to be compensated by the flow; otherwise, the low pressure may cause the cavitations and aerations. In the research, the valve plate geometry can be optimized by some analytical limitations to prevent the piston pressure below the vapor pressure. The limitations provide the design guide of the timings and overlap areas between valve plate ports and barrel kidneys to consider the cavitations and aerations.

In overclamped axial piston pump slippers only part of the clamping load is carried by the hydrostatic pressures. The remainder has to be supported hydrodynamically and small amounts of non-flatness of the slipper surface are essential for successful operation. It is shown that, under centrally loaded conditions, the operating clearance does not vary greatly with the magnitude or profile of the surface non-flatness, provided that the surface is generally convex. Thus the film thickness under the slipper can be predicted with reasonable accuracy. Measured clearances closely match those calculated theoretically.
