The DENISON HYDRAULICS Goldcup 11 and Goldcup 14 axial piston pumps feature
advance design concepts which are time proven and provide for advance pumping and
control concepts. The instructions contained in this manual cover complete disassem-
bly and re-assembly of the unit. Before proceeding with the disassembly or re-assem-
bly of any unit, this manual should be studied in order to become familiar with proper
order and parts nomenclature.
The use of a rocker cam to control the pump displacement provides a small package
size, reduces wear, and speeds control response. The control vane actuator elimi-
nates linkage and backlash inherent in typical stroking cylinder designs.
Standard controls for the Goldcup units are rotary servo and compensator over-ride.
Additional optional controls are also available.
This pump is designed to operate in any position The mounting hub and four bolt
mounting flange are in full conformance with SAE standard. The pump shaft must be
in alignment with the shaft of the driven load and should be checked with a dial indica-
tor. The mounting pad or adapter into which the fluid pump pilots must be concentric
with the pump shaft to prevent bearing failure. This concentricity is particularly impor-
tant if the shaft is rigidly connected to the driven load without a flexible coupling.
Splined: The shafts will accept a maximum misalignment of .006”TIR (0.15 mm).
Angular misalignment at the male and female spline axes must be less than ± .002”
per inch radius (0.002 mm per mm radius). The coupling interface must be lubricated.
DENISON HYDRAULICS recommends 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 .030”-.040”(0.75-1 mm) at
450to clear radii that exist in the keyway.
Keyed shafts will accept a side load of 1000 lb. (454 kg) at the center of the key, with a
B10 life of 10000 hours at 1800 RPM and 40 psi case pressure.
Connect inlet and outlet lines to the port block of the pump.
The maximum case pressure is 75 PSI (5.7 bar) continuous, 125 PSI (8.6 bar) inter-
mittent. A 5 PSI (0.3 bar) case pressure check valve is included in the normal case
drain port, D2, to be certain the case is filled with oil at all times.
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 suction as possible. All fluid lines, whether pipe, tubing, or hose must be
adequate size and strength to assure free flow through the pump. An undersize inlet
line will prevent the pump from operating at full rated speed. An undersize outlet line
will create back pressure and cause heat generation. Flexible hose lines are recom-
mended. If rigid piping is used, the workmanship must be accurate to eliminate strain
on the pump port 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 equiv-
alent before installing pump. Make sure the entire hydraulic system is free of dirt, lint,
scale, or other foreign material. Flushing with a large temporary high pressure loop fil-
ter is recommended.
These hydraulic products are designed to give long dependable service when properly
applied and their systems properly maintained. These general instructions apply to
typical systems. Specific instructions for particular equipment can be developed from
them.
The fluid recommended for use in these pumps and motors has a petroleum base and
contains agents which provide oxidation inhibition and anti-rust, anti-foam and de-aer-
ating properties as described in DENISON HYDRAULICS standard HF-1. Where anti-
wear additive fluids are specified, see DENISON HYDRAULICS standard HF-0.
