The DENISON HYDRAULICS Goldcup 24 and 30 axial piston pumps f eature advance
design concepts which are time proven and provide for advanced pumping and control
concepts. The instructions contained in this manual cover complete disassembly and
re-assembly of the unit. Before proceeding with the disassembly or reassembly of any
unit, this manual should be studied in ordered to become f amiliar with proper order
and parts nomenclature.
The use of a rocker cam to control the pump displacement pro vides a small package
size, reduces wear, and speeds control response. The control vane actuator eliminates
linkage and backlash inherent in typical stroking cylinder designs .
Standard controls for the Goldcup units are rotar y servo and compensator over-ride.
Additional optional controls are also available.
This pump is designed to operate in any position. The mounting hub and 4 bolt mount-
ing flange are in full conformance with SAE standard. The pump shaft must be in align-
ment with the shaft of the pr ime mover and should be checked with a dial indicator.
The mounting pad or adapter into which the fluid pump pilots m ust be concentric with
the pump shaft to prevent bearing failure. This concentricity is particularly important if
the shaft is rigidly connected to the prime mover without a flexible coupling.
Caution: P24/30S Only
Shaft seal on coupling shaft isolates inter nal replenishing pressure from the external
pump. An axial load in pounds equal to 1.23 x replenishing pressure , psi, or Newtons
equal to 79,3 x replenishing pressure bar, will be exerted on the shaft of the rear
mounted pump. Shaft bearing capacity of the external pump must be considered
when applying external pump.
In any application it is advisable to check the alignment of the pump shaft to the pr ime
mover to avoid side loading the pump shaft bear ing and bending of the shaft.
The maximum allowable offset of the pump shaft and pr ime mover is 0.006 inch, 0,15
mm T.I.R. (Total indicator reading).
The maximum allowable angular misalignment is ±.002 inch per inch r adius, 0,002 mm
per mm radius.
Splined: The coupling interface must be lubricated. DENISON HYDRAULICS recom-
mends lithium-molybdenum disulfide or similar grease. The female coupling should be
hardened to 27-45 Rc and must conform to SAE-J498B(1971) class 1 flat root side fit.
Keyed: High strength heat treated keys must be used. Replacement keys must be
hardened to 27-34 Rc. The key corners must be chamfered 0.030”-0.040”, 0,75-1mm
at 450 to clear radii that exist in the keyway.
Note: Do not impact coupling to force it onto the shaft. A threaded hole, size M16 is
provided in the end of the shaft.
Both types of shafts will accept a side load of 1000 lbs ., 454 kg at the center of the
spline or key, with a B10 life of 9880 hours at 1800 r pm or 11856 hours at 1500 r pm.
Connect inlet and outlet lines to the por t block of the pump.
The maximum case pressure is 75 psi, 5,7 bar contin uous, 125 psi, 8,6 bar inter mit-
tent. When connecting case drain line make certain that drain plumbing passes above
highest point of the pump before passing to the reservoir. If not, install a 5 psi, 0,3 bar
case pressure check valve to be cer tain the case is filled with oil at all times .
Note: High case pressure will result in reduced shaft bear ing B10 life.
The case leakage line must be of sufficient size to prevent back pressure in excess of
75 psi, 5,7 bar and returned to the reservoir below the surface of the oil as far from the
supply as possible. All fluid lines, whether pipe, tubing, or hose must be adequate size
to assure free flow through the pump. We recommend 20 ft., 6,09 m max. per second
for main flow and 4 ft., 1,4 m max. limit per second for suction lines. The case drain
flow can exceed the steady state repl. pump flow during transient. Size the hose for
10 ft., 3,05 m, max. per second. Pressure rating of piping hose must be adequate for
service duty required. An undersize inlet line will prevent the pump from operating at
full rated speed. An undersized outlet line will create back pressure and cause heat
generation and improper operation. Flexible hose lines are recommended to connect
the pump to system piping. If rigid piping is used, the w orkmanship must be accurate
to eliminate strain on the pump por t block or to the fluid connections.
Sharp bends in the lines must be eliminated wherever possible. All system piping must
be cleaned with solvent or equivalent before installing pump. Make sure the entire
hydraulic system is free of dir t, lint, scale, or other foreign material. Flushing with a
large temporary high pressure loop filter is recommended. Piping must be cleaned so
that the fluid cleanliness specified below is maintained.
Caution: Do not use galvanized pipe. Galvanized coating can flake off with continued
use.
