General Description
Both fixed and variable displacement
models make up this range of axial
piston pumps. Their high performance
ratings and efficiencies are achieved
with a variety of hydraulic fluids. Fixed
displacement models are noted for their
volumetric and mechanical efficiencies.
Variable displacement models can
closely match pressure and/or flow
demand with a control selected from:

Pressure compensator with or
without a remote control facility.

Pressure compensator with
adjustable displacement control.

Load sensing compensator.

Mechanical (lever) control.

Handwheel control

Control Data for PVB Pumps
Controls available as indicated in “Model
Code” section.
“C” and “CM” Pressure
Compensators
Automatically adjusts pump delivery at
pre-adjusted pressure to match system
demand. Delivery can decrease rapidly
from maximum to zero through a
pressure gradient typically 4 to 6 bar (60
to 90 psi) with normal circuit volumes.
For pressure adjustment ranges see
“Model Code”.
Note:
1. When using PVB6, 15 or 29 pumps
with “C” type compensators ther user
must ensure that the maximum
pressure setting never exceeds 140
or 100 bar (2000 or 1500 psi)
dependent on the type of fluid being
used.
Caution. It is possible to
mechanically adjust the
compensator up to 210 bar
(3000 psi).
2. It is recommended that, as for other
types of positive pump, a relief valve
should be fitted externally as
protection against overloads. Where
a relatively large amount of fluid is
directly subject to compensator
pressure, it may be possible to omit
the relief valve. Consult your Vickers
representative.
“CC” and “CMC” Pressure
Compensators with Adjustable Max.
Displacement Stop
The pressure compensator section
performs as described above. The
adjustable stop allows the maximum
pump delivery to be adjusted between
25 to 100%. To assist priming, adjust the
stop setting to provide at least 40% of
the maximum displacement.
“CG” Pressure Compensator,
Remotely Controlled
Same as the “C” compensator, but
arranged for remote pressure
adjustment by suitable pilot controls.
One or more pilot relief valves (e.g.
C-175-*) and/or pilot directional valves,
in series or in parallel, can provide many
varied remote pilot systems.
Your Vickers representative will be
pleased to advise on optimum
arrangements for individual applications.
“CV” Load Sensing Comensator,
Remotely Controlled
Automatically matches pump delivery to
system demand at a pressure
approximately 17 bar (250 psi) above
load pressure. This pressure difference
can be created by:
– a variable flow restrictor (non-
compensated flow control) or the
spool opening of a directional control
valve.
Both forms can be used with fixed and
variable speed pump drives. In the latter
case a fixed restrictor can provide pre-
set, near-constant pump flow
independent of drive speed, provided
that the speed exceeds that which gives
the required flow at full displacement. An
external pressure limiter must be added
to prevent overloading the pump; see
“Functional Symbols” page A.3.
The matching of pump pressure and
delivery to system demands provides
power matching and conservation by
minimizing system power wastage.
“H” Handwheel Control
Provides manual variation or selection of
pump delivery. The control can be
operated on both sides of center
permitting bi-directional flow
characteristics.
Approximate change of displacement
per one turn of handwheel is:
PVB5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2,6 cm3 (0.16 in3)
PVB6 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3,4 cm3 (0.21 in3)

PVB15 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8,2 cm3 (0.5 in3)
“M” Lever Control
Provides mechanical or manual variation
of pump delivery in approximate
proportion to the angular movement from
the center position. This control may be
operated on both sides of center
permitting bi-directional flow
characteristics. The pintle-mounted lever
control must be secured by suitable
linkage to maintain desired settings;
both extremes of pintle travel are limited
by internal stops to approx. 17.5 from
center.
Control torques (approx. at 1500 r/min).
PVB5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3,8 Nm @ 210 bar
(33 lbf in at 3000 psi)
PVB6 . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2,7 Nm @ 138 bar
(24 lbf in at 2000 psi)
PVB10 and PVB15 . . 7,5 Nm @ 70 bar
(66 lbf in at 1000 psi)
Note: Torque varies with pressure and
speed.
“GE1” Minimum Displacement
Control
Option for C(M)(C) and CG(C)
compensators to limit the minimum
displacement, in the fully compensated
mode, to nominally 10% of full
displacement.
Hydraulic Fluids
All pumps can be used with anti-wear
hydraulic oils, water glycols and
water-in-oil (invert) emulsions. It is
possible to use these pumps with high
water base fluids (e.g. 5%/95%
oil-in-water emulsion) at pressures up to
70 bar (1000 psi). However, first consult
your Vickers representative.
The extreme operating viscosity range
is from 220 to 13 cSt (1020 to70 SUS)
for all pumps (except where 5%/95%
emulsions are used). The
recommended running range is 54 to
13 cSt. (245 to 70 SUS)
The viscosity of 5%/95% emulsions is
near-constant at about 1 or 2 cSt
(<35 SUS).

minimum setting.
2. Turn compensator adjustment plug

Installation Data
Horizontal mounting is resommended to
maintain necessary case fluid level.
Vertical “shaft-up” installation is possible
with pumps ordered to include the extra
drain port denoted by the “S30” feature;
see “Model Code”. In all cases the drain
line must be full size, unrestricted and
connected from the uppermost drain port
directly to the reservoir in such a manner
that the housing remains filled with fluid.
Piping of drain line must prevent
siphoning. Pipe drain line so that it
terminates below fluid level. No other
lines are to be connected to this drain
line.
Caution must be exercised to
never exceed the following unit
case pressures:
0,7 bar (10 psi) for PFB10 only.
0,35 bar (5psi) for all other models.
Starting
Before starting, fill case with system fluid
through the uppermost drain port.
Housing must be kept full at all times to
provide internal lubrication.When first
starting it may be necessary to bleed air
from pump outlet to permit priming and
to reduce noise. Bleed by loosening an
outlet connection until a clear stream of
fluid appears. An air bleed valve,
ABS-03, is available for this purpose.
Ordering Procedure
Before ordering, check availability with
your Vickers reprecentative.
