Typical equipment

Injection molding equipmentRubber processing pressesHydraulic auxiliaries

Identify the circuit served by the pump: the machine may have separate drives for its main and auxiliary functions.

What the hydraulic system does

Depending on the machine design, hydraulic actuators can support clamping, injection or auxiliary movement. The pump supplies the circuit; valves and controls determine how the machine uses the flow.

02Apply process force
03Hold / return

Illustrative sequence only; the actual machine cycle and control system may differ.

Pump selection checks

Clamping, injection and auxiliary motion · Flow and pressure change through the molding cycle

Which movement needs the flow?

List the flow and pressure needed for mold approach, injection, holding and auxiliary movements.

What happens during holding?

Include holding time and explain how the circuit maintains pressure during that stage.

Is the drive speed controlled?

For servo drives, send the motor and drive specifications, operating speed range and starting conditions.

  • Describe how flow and load change through the machine cycle.
  • Identify fixed-speed or variable-speed drive requirements.
  • Include noise expectations, operating hours and available cooling.

Check the required operating points against the pump document, then compare the shaft, mounting, rotation and ports.

MACHINE DUTY

Specify each stage of the molding cycle

Machine-cycle worksheet
StageInformation to collectWhy it matters
Approach and movementRequired actuator speed and simultaneous movementsRecord the flow demand and available shaft speed.
Injection or pressingRequired force, pressure rise and durationSeparate the loaded working point from fast travel.
Holding and returnHolding time, unloading arrangement and coolingDescribe the control strategy and how demand changes through the cycle.

Include the machine cycle or hydraulic schematic, drive and controls, oil, available space and noise requirements. For variable-speed operation, check the pump’s speed range and starting limits.

Check the series documents

Find T6 / T7, V / VQ, SQP documents in the catalog, then check the model and configuration against your machine requirements.

Compare the product details

Use the catalog photos to identify the series, then open its drawings and technical data. Final selection depends on the machine specification.

Send your machine requirements

Supply the machine function, flow and pressure requirements, drive details and expected cycle. For servo systems, clarify which motor, drive and control components are included in the project.

Include the required quantity, destination and delivery expectations. For a replacement, add the old pump’s nameplate and photographs of the installation.
