1900 SRM 97 Description
Description
Gear pumps have several sections and are made with
a single set (single stage) of gears or with multiple
sets (tandem) of gears. See Figure 1. A single-stage
pump has two covers and the gear housing with the
gears. Seals are used to prevent leaks between the
sections. Tandem pumps have a gear housing for
each set of gears. Most tandem pumps also have a
center section for the bearings. The inlet and outlet
ports are normally on the gear housing or rear cover.
Thefrontcoverhasthesealfortheinputshaft.The
input shaft is connected to a driven sprocket, cou-
pling, or gear by splines or a key.
All the gear pumps have devices that keep the
thrust clearance at a minimum when the pressure
increases. When the pressure is low, the clearance
increases to prevent wear. To prevent leakage when
the pressure is high, the oil from the outlet side
of the pump is transferred to a wear plate. The
oil pushes the wear plate against the gears. Some
pumps have bearing blocks that move closer to the
gears when the pressure increases.

Operation 1900 SRM 97
Operation
Gear pumps have the teeth of the gears engaged in
the center of the pump. When the input shaft is
turned, the drive gear turns the driven gear. See Fig-
ure 2. The oil in the inlet chamber is moved out from
the center by the teeth of rotating gears. See Fig-
ure 3. The oil between the teeth is moved around
the pumping chamber to the outlet chamber. The oil
is pushed from the outlet chamber by the gear teeth
that are beginning to engage.
The gears and bearings are lubricated by oil from the
outlet side of the pump. A small amount of oil flows
past the gears and into the bearings and to the front
seal cavity. A check ball and spring are installed in
some pumps to keep pressure on the oil in this pas-
sage. The oil pressure prevents air leaks through the
front seal and makes sure there is oil to the bearings.
Whenthepressureincreasestothespringsetting,
the ball moves from its seat and oil flows to the inlet
chamber.

FLOW CONTROL VALVE
Some of the pumps have a flow control valve in the
rear cover. See Figure 4. The flow control valve has
either a piston and spring, or a cartridge with a pis-
ton and spring. The piston has an orifice that per-
mits a constant volume of oil to flow to the controlled
flow port. When the pump speed increases, the pis-
ton moves to partly open the passage to the main con-
trol valve. This action keeps constant the pressure
difference across the orifice. A constant pressure dif-
ference between both sides of an orifice causes a con-
stant flow through the orifice.

RELIEF VALVE
Some pumps have a relief valve installed in a car-
tridge or in a bore in the rear cover. See Figure 4.
Relief valves in the pump prevent the pressure in
the controlled flow system from increasing beyond
the specifications. The relief valve in the cartridge
has a poppet and spring, with the seat for the pop-
pet in the cartridge. The relief valve and flow control

the pumps are adjustable only with shims. Replace
the cartridge if the relief valve has a problem.

Hydraulic Gear Pump Repair
NOTE: Worn or damaged seals are the most common
cause of pump failure. The pump bearings, gears,
and shafts also wear. Many service persons do not
repair a worn pump because the cost of repairs can
be greater than the cost of a new pump. The seals
can be replaced in the hydraulic pump. If the pump
will be rebuilt, the following general procedures are
for repairing gear pumps.
REMOVE
WARNING
Make sure the carriage is lowered before dis-
connecting any parts of the hydraulic system.
1. If the lift truck is equipped with a valve on the
tank, the valve must be closed before removing
thepump. Ifthereisnovalveonthetank,re-
move breather and install a plug. This action
prevents the tank from draining too fast when
the inlet line is disconnected.
2. Disconnect hoses from pump. Put caps on all fit-
tings. Be careful so inlet hose is not damaged
during removal.
3. If the pump is driven by a drive shaft, disconnect
drive shaft at pump.
WARNING
Some of the hydraulic pumps are very heavy.
Use a lifting device when removing or in-
stalling the pump.
4. Remove capscrews holding pump housing to the
mount.
5. Remove pump from lift truck.

DISASSEMBLE
NOTE: SeeFigure6,Figure7,Figure8,orFigure9
for the illustration that is similar to the pump being
repaired. The illustration can have parts that are
different than those in the actual pump that is being
repaired.
1. Remove gear or sprocket from input shaft. If
equipped, remove pulley from input shaft. See

2. Before disassembling the pump, make alignment
marks on all housings. Some housings can be as-
sembled in the wrong positions, which will cause
failure or increased wear. Carefully clean the
outside of the pump.
NOTE: The inlet ports in most gear pumps are larger
than the outlet ports.
NOTE: Ifthepumpisheldinavisefordisassembly,
makesurethevisedoesnotholdthepumptootightly
and cause distortion of the pump body.
NOTE: The position of the seals is important. In some
pumps the direction of pump rotation is changed by
changing the position of the seals and housings. The
holes in the seals must be aligned with the oil pas-
sages in the housing sections. The oil passage for the
thrust plates is in the outlet chamber.
Make sure you make careful notes of the location and
orientation of the parts and seals during disassem-
bly. Some of the parts are similar, but not exactly
thesameanditcanbedifficulttomakeanidentifi-
cation if they are mixed.
3. Remove capscrews or nuts that hold housings to-
gether. Use a plastic hammer to separate hous-
ings. Do not damage machined surfaces.
4. Remove gears and thrust plates (if used). Make
a note of the positions of the thrust plates, seals,
and gaskets. Do not use a punch to mark the
parts. Remove any springs and check valves.
5. Remove bearings with a puller. In some pumps,
the bearing blocks or plates must be replaced
with the bearings.
6. Remove front seal.
CLEAN
WARNING
Cleaning solvents can be flammable and toxic
and can cause skin irritation. When using
cleaning solvents, always follow the solvent
manufacturer’s recommended safety precau-
tions.
WARNING
Compressed air can move particles so they
cause injury to the user or to other personnel.
Make sure the path of the compressed air is
away from all personnel. Wear protective gog-
gles or a face shield to prevent injury to the
eyes.
CAUTION
Any dirt that enters the hydraulic system can
cause damage to the parts.
Clean all parts of the pump with solvent. Use com-
pressed air to dry the parts. Do not use a cloth to dry
the parts. Pieces of the cloth can cause restrictions in
thehydraulicsystem.Makesuretheworkareaand
tools are very clean.

INSPECT
1. Inspect outside edges of gear teeth for grooves
or scratches. If the edges of the gear teeth are
sharp, use emery cloth to break the edges. Re-
place gears if there are deep grooves on the gears.
2. If the gear shafts have grooves or are worn more
than 0.05 mm (0.002 in.), they must be replaced.
Wear on the seal area of the shaft indicates there
is dirt in the oil or a hard seal. Inspect seal to
see if it has been too hot. Look for small cracks in
seal surfaces. If the seal was too hot or the wrong
oil was used, the seal will be too hard or too soft.
Inspect splines or key groove for damage.

NOTE: Some pump bodies will show gear marks
where the gears rotate because of the small clear-
ances between the parts. These gear marks do not
indicate a worn or damaged pump unless the pump
will not supply the volume and pressure shown in
the specifications.
3. Inspect gear housing for wear or grooves. Most
wear occurs on the inlet side of the gear cham-
ber. Put a straight edge across the inlet side of
the gear chamber. If a 0.13 mm (0.005 in.) thick-
nessgaugefitsbetweenthestraightedgeand
the housing, the gear housing must be replaced.
If the gear housing is worn, inspect bearings for
wear. If the system pressure is too high, the gear
housings will wear quickly. Grooves in the gear
chamber indicate dirt is in the oil. Small holes in
the outlet side of the gear chamber indicate that
cavitation has occurred. Make sure inlet hose,
fittings, and tank have no restrictions. Cavita-
tion can also occur when the engine speed is too
high.
If the surfaces of the gear chamber or gear teeth
have blue marks, the pump was too hot. Heat
damage in the pump can be caused by hot oil or
lack of oil. Check front seal surface to see if air
was entering the pump through the front seal.
Make sure the oil is the correct viscosity. The
wrong viscosity oil can increase leakage within
thepump. Leakageinsidethepumpincreases
the oil temperature.

4. Check thrust plates for wear or grooves. If
the thrust plate is worn more than 0.05 mm
(0.002 in.), it must be replaced. Replace thrust
plate if it has grooves or holes. Dirty oil causes
the thrust plate to wear near where the gears
engage. Small holes on the outlet side the thrust
plate are caused by cavitation. Lack of oil can
also cause small holes in the thrust plates. If the
color of the thrust plates has changed, the pump
was too hot.
5. Inspect all machined surfaces for scratches or
damage. Remove with emery cloth any metal
that is above the flat surface. Check surfaces

6. Inspect bearings for wear or damage. Replace
bearings if there is any small hole on the bearing
surface. Replace bushing if it is not round.

7. Look for damage on seals. Replace all seals and
O-rings, even if they are in good condition. Look
for cuts or changes in shape that can cause dam-
age. Find out what damage caused the pump
to fail. A damaged seal for the thrust plate can
cause the shaft seal to leak. A damaged shaft
seal can cause air to enter the hydraulic system.
8. Inspect flow control valve and relief valve for dirt
or scratches. Make sure piston moves freely in
the bore. Look at poppet and seat for damage.
Thespringsmustnotbebrokenorbent.Inspect
O-rings for damage. Make sure orifices are open.
CAUTION
Do not permit dirty oil to enter the gear pump.
9. If any parts of the pump have damage from dirt
in the oil, inspect hydraulic tank. Drain tank,
clean screen and tank, and replace filter.
10. Inspect inlet hose to the gear pump. Use a lamp
to look inside the hose. Look for pieces of rubber
that are separating from the hose. Inspect hose
for restrictions at bends. Check for loose fittings
or damaged O-rings.
ASSEMBLE
CAUTION
Make sure no dirt enters the pump during as-
sembly.
1. Lubricate all parts with hydraulic oil before they
are installed into the pump.
2. Put Loctite 290®sealant around outside of front
seal. Install seal in front cover. Make sure seal
is installed straight. If pump has a ball bearing
for the shaft, install it in the front cover. Install
snap rings.
8

1900 SRM 97 Hydraulic Gear Pump Repair
3. Install needle bearings into front and rear covers.
Use a press to push bearings into position. Push
on end of bearings that has writing. If the pump
has check valves, install them in cover.
CAUTION
Make sure the holes in the gaskets and seals are
aligned with the hole in the output side of the
pump. The pump will not operate correctly if
the oil from the outlet chamber cannot flow to
the thrust plate.
4. Install seals for thrust plate. Install rubber seal
with lips away from gears. Install paper gasket
against the rubber seal. The plastic gasket is in-
stalled between the paper gasket and the thrust
plate. Install thrust plate with the bronze side
toward the gears.
Some pumps have thrust plates with small
grooves for the seals. The seals must be cut
to the correct length. Cut two strips that are
5.5 mm (0.22 in.) long from seal strip. Put
grease on seals and install them in grooves in
center of thrust plate. Cut thrust plate on front
cover. Hit thrust plate with a plastic hammer
to 0.8 mm (0.031 in.) from machined surface.
Cut four strips 6 mm (0.24 in.) from seal strip.
Push strips into slots in thrust plate. Lightly hit
thrust plate against the machined surface. Use
asharpbladetocutthesealsevenwiththeedge
of the thrust plate.
Install seal that has a W shape and spacer in
groove in front cover. Do not bend metal seal.
Install seal in outer groove in front cover. Install
bearing blocks in the same positions from which
they were removed.
5. Install gears and bearing blocks in pump cham-
ber housing. Make sure gear housing is installed
in the correct position. The small hole in some
housings must be in the outlet chamber. The
large channels in the inlet and outlet chambers
must be toward the rear cover. The arrow indi-
cating the direction of rotation on the gear hous-
ing must be toward the front cover. Align marks
on gear housing with marks on covers.
6. Put connecting shaft in drive gear shaft on the
pumps with two pump chambers. Install thrust
plates and seals. Put gears and pump cham-
ber housing on center bearing housing with the
marks aligned.
7. Install seal and rear cover. Use a plastic hammer
to join the sections. Apply a small mount of Loc-
tite 290®sealant to threads of capscrews or studs.
Install capscrews or studs and tighten with your
fingers. Rotate drive shaft to make sure pump is
assembled correctly. Tighten capscrews or nuts
to the specification using an "X" sequence.
8. Use a soft, blunt tool to install O-rings in bore
of the flow and relief cartridge. See Figure 10.
Install relief valve and flow control valve. Install
fittings with new O-rings.
9. If a pulley was removed, install pulley on shaft
and tighten nut to 72 N•m (53 lbf ft). See Fig-

INSTALL
CAUTION
Before the gear pump is installed, loosen the
lock nut on the adjustment screw for the relief
valve. Loosen the adjustment screw until the
spring is not compressed. If the relief valve was
adjusted for a worn pump, the setting will not
be correct for a new pump. Damage to the hy-
draulic system can occur if the setting of the
relief valve is too high.
Always install a new filter when repairs are
made to the hydraulic system. Drain and re-
place the hydraulic oil if the oil is dirty or
burned.
1. Install new gasket or O-ring on front cover of
pump. Put a thin layer of Never-Seez®on splines
of drive shaft. Fill inlet port of the pump with
hydraulic oil. Turn drive shaft in the direction of
rotation until oil comes out of the outlet port.
WARNING
Some of the pumps are very heavy. Use a lifting
device to help install the pump.
2. Install pump in lift truck.
3. Install and tighten capscrews. Remove caps from
fittings. Connect hoses.
CAUTION
Do not permit hot oil to enter a cold pump.
Make sure the relief valve in each system is at
the lowest setting.
4. Remove plug from breather on tank. Install
breather. Open valve on tank. Fill tank with
clean hydraulic oil.
5. Installa0to20MPa(0to3000psi)pressure
gauge to a tee fitting at the pump outlet port.
Start engine and run it at idle speed for 3 min-
utes.
CAUTION
Do not operate any valve until the pump has
run for 3 minutes at low pressure and low
speed.
6. Touch pump with your hand. If pump is hot, it
has a problem. If pump is not hot, then increase
engine speed to high limit. Momentarily increase
pressure to relief setting. Repeat this procedure
for 3 minutes.
7. Look at pressure gauge and adjust relief valve.
See Checks and Adjustments for the lift truck for
which you are making repairs.
Pump Output Check
Two methods are given for checking the volume of
flow from the hydraulic pump. The first method uses
a flow meter, a pressure gauge, and a needle valve.
The second method uses a needle valve, a pressure
gauge, a container, and a timer.
NOTE: Ifthepumphastwooutletports,doseparate
flow tests. Add the results of both tests to find the
total output rate.
METHOD NO. 1
WARNING
Hydraulic oil can be hot. Do not touch the oil
during the tests.
1. If the flow meter is available, install flow meter
between needle valve and outlet port of pump.
SeeFigure11. Thepressuregaugemustbebe-
tween the needle valve and the pump. Make a
separate check for each system if pump is tan-
dem or if flow regulator is part of pump. When
the hydraulic oil is at operating temperature, run
engine at 2800 RPM with no load on hydraulic
system. Note the reading of the flow meter. Com-
pare output rate of pump with specification found
in the Capacities and Specifications section
of the Service Manual foryourlifttruck.
2. Run engine at high limit. Slowly close needle
valve until gauge indicates pressure just below
specification for relief valve setting. The pump
output at high or pressure must be within 25%
oftheoutputwithnoload. Iftheoutputathigh
pressure is less than 75% of the low pressure out-
put, the pump has a problem.

1. Another method of checking the pump output is
to measure the amount of oil moved in a given
amount of time. See Figure 12. Run engine until
oil is 55 to 65 C (131 to 149 F). Disconnect line
from outlet port of pump. Install a 0 to 20 MPa
(0 to 3000 psi) pressure gauge on a tee fitting
connected to a hose from the outlet port. Install
needle valve on end of hose. Connect another
hose to needle valve. Put the other end of the
hose in a container with a 18 liter (5 gal) capacity.
Make sure reservoir is full.
CAUTION
This test must be done quickly to prevent the
hydraulic tank from becoming empty. Do not
operate the engine when there is no oil in the
hydraulic tank.
2. The needle valve must be fully open. Start en-
gine and run engine at its governed rpm for 5 sec-
onds. Stop engine. Measure volume of oil that
entered container in 5 seconds. Multiply quan-
tity in container by 12 to find output per minute.
Compare pump output rate with the specifica-
tions found in the Capacities and Specifica-
tions section of the Service Manual foryourlift
truck. The pump output rate must be within 20%
of the specifications.
3. Start engine and run engine at its governed rpm.
Close needle valve until pressure increases to
just below relief valve setting. Measure the vol-
ume of fluid the pump moves in 5 seconds. Com-
pare this quantity with the results from the test
of the pump output at low pressure. The output
of the pump at high pressure must be within 25%
of the volume of oil flow at low pressure.

Hydraulic System Air Check
If the pump makes noise or does not move the cor-
rect amount of oil, check for air in the system. Run
the engine until the oil is warm. Remove the filter
head and look into the tank. If there are bubbles in
the oil, air is in the hydraulic system. The most com-
mon place of entry of the air is in the inlet hose to
the pump. Check for air leaks by pouring oil over
the fittings and hose when the engine is running. If
the noise decreases, the leak is in that area. See the
Troubleshooting section for other causes of air in the
hydraulic system.
