Axial piston pumps employ various sealing elements to reduce internal leakage
Leakage mechanisms in axial piston pumps are the paths that fluid takes to bypass the piston and cylinder assembly, causing internal leakage. While it is difficult to completely eliminate internal leakage from any pump, manufacturers strive to minimize it in order to maintain pump efficiency and performance. The following is an overview of the main leakage mechanisms of axial piston pumps:
1. Piston slipper leaks: Axial piston pumps usually have a set of pistons that reciprocate in cylinder bores. Each piston has a shoe or shoe that keeps in contact with the swash plate. Due to manufacturing tolerances, there is a small gap between the shoe and the swash plate. This gap allows a certain amount of fluid to leak from the high pressure side to the low pressure side. Manufacturers utilize various design techniques to minimize shoe leakage, such as precision machining, sealing elements, and surface coatings.
2. Leakage of the cylinder barrel: the cylinder barrel is equipped with a piston and a cylinder assembly. There is also a small gap at the interface between the piston and cylinder bore, allowing some fluid to bypass the piston. This leakage can be due to imperfections in mating surfaces, manufacturing tolerances, or wear over time. To reduce cylinder leakage, manufacturers use tight machining tolerances, surface treatments, and high-quality materials to maintain a good seal between the piston and cylinder bore.

3. Valve plate leakage: Axial piston pumps usually include a valve plate to control the flow of fluid into and out of the cylinder bore. The valve plate contains various channels, ports and valves to properly direct the fluid. These components must be designed to minimize internal leak paths within the disc itself. Proper sealing techniques, precision machining, and the use of sealing elements such as O-rings and gaskets help reduce disc leakage.
4. Leakage from the swash plate: The swash plate tilts the piston in the cylinder bore, which can also cause internal leakage. The interface between the swash plate and the pump casing may have small gaps or gaps through which fluid can bypass. Manufacturers employ sealing technologies and surface treatments to minimize swashplate leakage and keep pumps running efficiently.
5. Control mechanism leakage: Axial piston pumps can have various control mechanisms to adjust displacement or flow. These control mechanisms, such as servo pistons, control valves, or swash plate angle adjustment mechanisms, may have seals or interfaces that cause internal leakage. Manufacturers carefully design and seal these control mechanisms to minimize leakage and maintain precise control of pump output.

6. Sealing elements: Axial piston pumps use various sealing elements to reduce internal leakage. These may include O-rings, lip seals, and other types of dynamic and static seals. Sealing elements help maintain a tight seal between moving parts such as pistons, shoes, valve plates and control mechanisms. High quality materials and proper installation of these seals are critical to minimizing leakage.
7. Surface finish and coating: To minimize internal leakage, manufacturers focus on the surface finish of critical components such as pistons, cylinder bores, valve plates, and swash plates. Smooth surface finish helps reduce fluid bypass by minimizing gaps and irregularities that can lead to leaks. Additionally, some components may have special coatings such as hard chrome or other wear-resistant materials to further enhance their sealing properties.
8. Clearances and Tolerances: The design of an axial piston pump involves careful control of clearances and tolerances between mating components. Optimal clearance is critical to strike a balance between minimizing leakage and allowing smooth movement of the piston. Manufacturers establish precise tolerances during the manufacturing process to ensure proper pump operation while minimizing internal leakage.

9. Wear and maintenance: Over time, axial piston pumps may experience increased internal leakage due to wear of components or degradation of sealing elements. Regular maintenance, including inspection and replacement of worn seals, helps minimize leakage and ensure optimal pump performance. Proper lubrication and fluid cleanliness also help reduce wear and extend pump life.
10. Pump efficiency and performance: Internal leakage directly affects the efficiency and performance of the axial piston pump. Higher levels of internal leakage result in lower volumetric efficiency, lower output flow, and lower overall pump efficiency. Manufacturers are constantly innovating and improving pump designs to minimize internal leakage and maximize pump performance, increasing efficiency and saving energy.
It is important to note that the exact design features and techniques used to minimize leakage may vary between manufacturers and models of axial piston pumps. It is therefore advisable to consult the pump's technical documentation or contact the manufacturer for details on specific leakage mechanisms and measures to implement in a particular pump model.
