BD

HIGH PRESSURE HYDRAULIC VANE PUMPS BD SERIES

Versatility, power, compactness and low running costs are the main characteristics of BD vane
pumps. All the components subject to wear are contained in a cartridge unit that can be easily
removed for inspection and/or replacement without disconnecting the pump from the circuit,
drastically reducing expensive machine down time. The cartridge contains a rotor, vanes and
pins, a cam ring and two supports. During operation the rotor is driven by a splined shaft cou-
pled to the drive unit. As the rotation speed increases, centrifugal forces, in combination with
the pressure generated behind the vanes, push the vanes outwards, where they follow the pro-
file of the cam with a sufficient contact pressure to ensure adequate hydraulic sealing. The two
opposed pumping chambers formed by the elliptical profile of the cam cancel out radial loads
on the shaft bearings, thereby giving them extremely long lifetimes. The special design of the
double-lip vanes renders the BD series pumps
particularly suitable for applications requiring
high pressure levels and very low noise emis-
sions.
The BD series is available in three versions of
single pump (from 10 to 227 l/min at 1000 rpm)
and four versions of double pump (from 20 to
385 l/min total, at 1000 rpm), with input powers
of over 328 KW at max pressure and speed.
The BD series pumps are extremely compact
and are supplied with SAE norm hydraulic
flanges and shafts. This makes them very easy
to install and guarantees their interchangeability
with other similar pumps.

Hydraulic fluids: antiwear petroleum base, synthetic fluid, water glycols and invert emulsions.
Viscosity range / Viscosity index: with antiwear petroleum base, from 10 to 2000 cSt. (10 to 108 cSt.
recommended). Other fluids from 18 to 2000 c.St. (18 to 108 c.St. recomm.). Choose 30 c.St. for max life-
time. Viscosity index: 90° min.
Filtration: to maintain contamination level to ISO 18/14 or NAS 1638 class 8.
Filters: for the inlet, use strainer with mesh not less than 149 micron abs. (omit strainer with application
requiring cold start or when using fire resistant fluids); for the return line - 25 micron abs. or better.
Water contamination level: max 0.10% for mineral oil. With other fluids, max 0.05%
Intermittent pressure: typically the working time permitted at such pressure is < 30% of the duty cycle.
With duty cycles longer than 15 minutes, please contact the technical office of B&C.
Minimum inlet pressure: (with mineral oil 10-65 c.St.): 0,8 bar abs. (3 psi abs.). In the biggest displace-
ments of each series and with the highest speeds, is required an higher inlet pressure. Please consult the
specific section for details. In case of tandem pump, supply the inlet port with the highest pressure reque-
sted among the pump stages.
Operating temperature: with “antiwear petroleum base” the permitted temperature is: from -18 to +100°
C; with water glycol and “water in oil emulsion”: from +10 to +50°C; with syntetic fluid: from -18 to +70°C;
with rapeseed and esters: from-20 to + 70°C. During cold start the pumps should be operated at low spe-
ed and pressure until fluid warms up to an acceptable viscosity for full power operation.
Drive: direct and coaxial by means of a flexible coupling. Low axial and radial loads allowed. Consult spe-
cific section for more detail.

Operating instructions
Maximum speed: the maximum speeds given in this catalogue are valid for an atmospheric pressure of 1 bar (14.7psi),
fluid viscosity between 10 to 65 cSt., and ambient temperature in the range of +30°C to +50°C. Sustained excess speed
causes a rapid deterioration of the internal components reducing the lifetime of the cartridge.
Minimum speed: In general, the min. speed for all pumps is 400 rpm. However, it is possible to operate at lower speeds
with certain pump configurations and with appropriate operating temperatures.
Inlet pressure: the inlet pressure, measured at the inlet port, should remain within the prescribed limits. Note that pres-
sures lower than minimum limit cause cavitation and pressures above the maximum limit cause abnormal loads on the
shaft and the bearings. In both cases this causes a significant reduction in the lifetime of the cartridge.
Maximum outlet pressure: the maximum continuos outlet pressure is different for each type of fluid used as can be seen
from the corresponding diagrams. If fluid viscosity, pump speed and contamination level are respected, an intermittent
pressure of +15% is permissible for a maximum time of 80% of the duty cycle lasting 15 minutes. For longer duty cycles,
please consult our technical office.
Mounting and drive connections: consider the following indications when preparing the installation drawings:
Pump with keyed shaft: the pump with keyed shaft has to be coupled axially and by means of a flexible coupling to the
drive; the clearance between the keyed shaft and the corresponding sleeve coupling has to be between 0.004 and 0.030
mm; avoid axial and radial loads on the shaft; the mounting flange has to be perpendicular to the drive shaft, with a maxi-
mum error of 0.18 mm every 100 mm.
Pump with splined shaft: the female spline must be hardened (30 to 45 R.C.) and should be free to float to find its own
center; the clearance between splines has to be between 0.013 and 0.051 mm on the pitch diameter; the max angular
misalignment between the two spline axes must less than ± 0.05 per 25 mm radius. The coupling spline must be lubri-
cated with grease or similar lubricant.
Hydraulic circuit: always install a pressure relief valve on the supply line to prevent the pressure from exceeding the al-
lowed maximum. Normally, it is set in accordance with the weakest component in the system. (In the case where it is the
pump, set the valve to a pressure 15% higher than the maximum pressure rating of the pump.) Inlet line tubing must have
the sections that permits a fluid velocity between 0.5 and 1.9 m/sec. It is advisable to keep the tube connecting the pump
to the reservoir as short possible. Particular care has to be taken with the inlet line which must be hermetically sealed to
avoid entraining air into the circuit; this varies the characteristics of the hydraulic fluid causing the operating parts to be-
come damaged.
Filtration: the inlet line filter must have a flow rate capacity that is higher than that of the pump at its maximum operating
speed. The use of a filter by-pass is recommended for cold starts and should avoid the filter become clogged. Proper
maintenance of the filter elements are essential for the correct operation of the entire system. In normal conditions replace
the filter element after the first 50 hours of operation. Subsequently, replace it at least every 500 hours. Regarding the filter
on the return line, apply the same general conditions as for the inlet line and it should be positioned in an accessible loca-
tion for ease of maintenance.
Tank: if possible, the reservoir should be positioned above the pump. Otherwise, ensure that the minimum level of the
fluid contained in it is higher than the pump inlet line opening. It is important to avoid draining the inlet line with the pump
at standstill. The opening of the return line into the reservoir must remain below the minimum level of the fluid in the reser-
voir. It must not be positioned too close to the opening of the inlet line to avoid the possibility of any air bubbles passing
into the inlet line. Baffles inside the reservoir may be useful in avoiding the problem. Rapid temperature changes can
cause condensation on the underside of the lid of the reservoir with the formation of droplets of water that can fall into the
oil. To avoid this problem it is recommended that the lid should have small vents so that the air space in the reservoir is
ventilated. The vents have to be screened, though, to prevent the entry of dust or the sudden expulsion of fluid.
Start-up: use the following procedure when the pump is started-up for the first time:completely fill the pump and the inlet
line with fluid; start the motor at lower speed for approximately one second a number of times at regular intervals of ap-
proximately 2 or 3 seconds until the noise level reduces, thereby confirming that it has been primed; with a manometer
check to ensure that the outlet pressure increases slightly; once the pump has been primed, maintain low pressure levels
activating all parts of the circuit a number of times until air bubbles disappear completely from the return line to the reser-
voir. This procedure should be carefully applied because any residual air inside the pump can quickly cause the rotor to
seize. After long stops (>1 week) the start up procedure must be repeated.
Cold starting: when starting the pump, especially with low ambient temperatures, operate with moderate speed and pres-
sure until the average temperature in the entire circuit is within the given limits. Make sure the fluid viscosity is within the
limits, by consulting the specific pump model in this catalogue.
Vertical installation: The pump cannot work in vertical position (vertical shaft), unless the hydraulic circuit is equipped by
devices to fill the pump completely before each starting.
