This manual includes information for the installation, maintenance, and minor repair of the Series 45
Frame F open circuit axial piston pumps. The manual includes a description of the units and their
individual components, troubleshooting information, and minor repair procedures. Performing
installation, maintenance, and minor repair of Series 45 Frame F axial piston pumps according to the
procedures in this manual will not affect your warranty.
Performing minor repairs requires the unit to be removed from the vehicle/machine. Thoroughly clean
the unit before beginning maintenance, or repair activities. Since dirt and contamination are the greatest
enemies of any type of hydraulic equipment, follow cleanliness requirements strictly. This is especially
important when changing the system filter and when removing hoses or plumbing.
A worldwide Global Service Partner Network is available for major repairs. Major repairs require the
removal of the unit’s endcap, which voids the warranty unless done by a Global Service Partner. Danfoss
Global Service Partners are trained by the factory and certified on a regular basis. You can locate your
nearest Global Service Partner using the distributor locator at www.powersolutions.danfoss.com
Safety precautions
Always consider safety precautions before beginning a service procedure. Protect yourself and others
from injury. Take these general precautions whenever servicing a hydraulic system.
Unintended machine movement
Warning
Unintended movement of the machine or mechanism may cause injury to the technician or bystanders.
To protect against unintended movement, secure the machine or disable/disconnect the mechanism
while servicing.
Flammable cleaning solvents
Warning
Some cleaning solvents are flammable. To avoid possible fire, do not use cleaning solvents in an area
where a source of ignition may be present.
Fluid under pressure
Warning
Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate your skin causing serious
injury and/or infection. This fluid may also be hot enough to cause burns. Use caution when dealing with
hydraulic fluid under pressure. Relieve pressure in the system before removing hoses, fittings, gauges, or
components. Never use your hand or any other body part to check for leaks in a pressurized line. Seek
medical attention immediately if you are cut by hydraulic fluid.
Personal safety
Warning
Protect yourself from injury. Use proper safety equipment, including safety glasses, at all times.
Performing installation, maintenance, and minor repairs according to the procedures in this manual will
not affect your warranty. Major repairs requiring the removal of a unit’s endcap voids the warranty unless
done by a Danfoss Global Service Partner.

General description
Danfoss Series 45 Frame F open circuit piston pumps convert input torque into hydraulic power. The
input shaft transmits rotational force from the prime mover to the cylinder block. Tapered roller bearings
support the shaft at the front and rear of the pump. The cylinder block connects to the input shaft
through splines on the shaft. A lip-seal at the front end of the pump prevents leakage where the shaft
exits the pump housing. The spinning cylinder block contains nine reciprocating pistons. Each piston has
a brass slipper connected at one end by a ball joint. The slippers are held to the swashplate by the spring
retainer and block spring. The block spring also holds the cylinder block to the valve plate. The
reciprocating movement of the pistons occurs as the slippers slide against the inclined swashplate during
rotation. The valve plate connects one half of the cylinder block to pump inlet and the other half to pump
outlet. As each piston cycles in and out of its bore, fluid is drawn from the inlet and displaced to the
outlet thereby imparting power into the system circuit. A small amount of fluid leaks from the cylinder
block / valve plate and slipper / swashplate interfaces for lubrication and cooling. Case drain ports return
this fluid to the reservoir.
The angle of the swashplate controls the volume of fluid displaced into the system circuit. The bias piston
forces the swashplate into an inclined position (into stroke). The servo piston opposes the action of the
bias piston and spring, forcing the swashplate out of stroke when hydraulic pressure in the control circuit
rises above the spring force.
The pump control, by varying the pressure at the servo piston, controls the displacement of fluid in the
system circuit. Controls designed for Pressure Compensation (PC) or Load Sensing (LS) are available. For a
detailed description of control operation, refer to General on page 12.
Pump and control sectional view
System circuit
The pump receives fluid directly from the reservoir through the inlet line. A screen in the inlet line
protects the pump from large contaminants. The pump outlet feeds a PVG-32 multi-section, load sensing,
directional control valve. The PVG valve directs pump flow to the cylinder and gear motor. A heat
exchanger cools the fluid returning from the valve. A filter cleans the fluid before it returns to the
reservoir.
Flow in the circuit determines the speed of the actuators. The position of the PVG valve determines the
flow demand. A hydraulic pressure signal (LS signal) communicates demand to the pump control. The
pump control monitors the pressure differential between pump outlet and the LS signal, and regulates
servo pressure to control the swashplate angle. Swashplate angle determines pump flow.
Actuator load determines system pressure. The pump control monitors system pressure and will decrease
the swashplate angle to reduce flow if system pressure reaches the PC setting. A system relief valve in the
PVG valve acts as a back-up to control system pressure.

Auxiliary mounting pads
Auxiliary mounting pads are available for all radial ported Series 45 pumps. These pads are typically used
for mounting auxiliary hydraulic pumps.
Since the auxiliary pad operates under case pressure, you must use an O-ring to seal the auxiliary pump
mounting flange to the pad. Oil from the main pump case lubricates the drive coupling. For details refer
to Series 45 Axial Piston Open Circuit Pumps Technical Information520L0519.
Auxiliary pad options
Input shafts
Series 45 F Frame pumps are available with a variety of splined and straight keyed shafts. For information
on shafts refer to Series 45 Axial Piston Open Circuit Pumps Technical Information520L0519.
Control options
The Series 45 Frame F pumps have two control options, a Load Sensing (LS) control with Pressure
Compensator (PC) or a PC only control.
General
The bias piston and spring (1&2) acts at all times to push the swashplate (4) to maximum angle causing
the pump to stroke. The servo piston (3) acts against the bias piston and spring to reduce the swashplate
angle causing the pump to destroke. Swashplate angle determines pump outlet flow. The pump control,
depending on conditions in the system circuit, sets swashplate angle by metering system pressure to the
servo piston.
Bias spring and servo piston set swashplate position
PC control
The PC control design maintains a constant pressure in the hydraulic circuit as flow varies. The PC control
modulates pump flow accordingly to maintain system pressure at the PC setting as the PC adjusting plug
(4) and spring (5) define.
When system pressure, acting on the non-spring end of the PC spool (6), overcomes the force of the PC
spring (5), the spool shifts porting system pressure to the servo piston and the swashplate angle
decreases. When system pressure drops below the PC setting, the PC spring shifts the spool in the
opposite direction connecting the servo piston to pump case and the swashplate angle increases. The
swashplate is maintained at whatever angle is required to keep system pressure at the PC setting.
Cross-section PC control
PC spool shifts to port system pressure to servo piston
LS control
The LS control design matches pump flow with system demand. The LS control senses the flow demand
of the system as a pressure drop across the External Control Valve (ECV). As the ECV opens and closes, the
pressure delta across the valve changes. When opening, the delta decreases. When closing, the delta
increases. The LS control then increases or decreases pump flow to the system until the pressure delta
becomes equal to the LS setting as defined by the LS adjusting plug (7) and spring (8).
Pressure drop across external control valve defines system demand
Cross-section LS control
LS spool shifts to port system pressure to servo piston
The LS control consists of two spool valves that connect the servo piston either to pump case or system
pressure. The PC spool (6) controls the pressure-compensating function of the control as previously
described. The LS spool (9) controls the load-sensing function. The PC spool has priority over the LS spool.
Through internal porting, system pressure (upstream of ECV) is applied to the non-spring end of the LS
spool, and through hydraulic line connected at port X, LS pressure (downstream of ECV) is applied to the
spring end. This arrangement allows the LS spool to act on the delta between system pressure and LS
pressure. The LS spring sets the threshold of operation (LS setting).
Because the swashplate is biased to maximum angle, the pump attempts to deliver full flow to the
hydraulic system. When the flow being delivered exceeds demand, the pressure delta across the ECV is
great enough to overcome spring force and shift the LS spool porting system pressure to the servo
piston. The pump de-strokes reducing flow until the delta across the ECV becomes equal to the LS
setting. When flow being delivered is less than demand, the delta across the ECV drops below the LS
setting and the LS spring shifts the spool connecting the servo piston to pump case. The pump strokes
increasing flow until the delta across the ECV becomes equal to the LS setting.
When the external control valve is placed in neutral, it connects the LS signal line to drain. With no LS
pressure acting on the non-spring end of the LS spool, the pump adjusts stroke to whatever position
necessary to maintain system pressure at the LS setting. The pump is now in standby mode.
Because of the series arrangement of the LS and PC spools, the PC spool will override the LS spool. If at
any time system pressure reaches the PC setting, the PC spool will shift blocking the passage that
connects the LS spool with the servo piston, thus porting system pressure to the servo piston causing the
pump to destroke.
All Series 45 Electric controls have met and passed the Danfoss PLUS+1 compliance standard testing, and
as such, this Series 45 control is PLUS+1 compliant. PLUS+1 compliance blocks are available on the
Danfoss website, within the PLUS+1 Guide section.

Series 45 F Frame Open Circuit Axial Piston Pumps
Features
Electric Proportional Control Principle
The Electric Proportional Control consists of a proportional solenoid integrated into a Remote Pressure
Compensated control. This control allows the pump to be operated at any pressure limit between the
Load Sense and Pressure Compensation settings by varying the current sent to the solenoid.
Electric On/Off Controls
All Series 45 Electric controls have met and passed the Danfoss PLUS+1 compliance standard testing, and
as such, this Series 45 control is PLUS+1 compliant. PLUS+1 compliance blocks are available on the
Danfoss website, within the PLUS+1 Guide section.
The Electric On/Off Control consists of an On/Off solenoid integrated into a Remote Pressure
Compensated control. This control allows the pump to be operated at either the Load Sense pressure
setting when On, or the Pressure Compensation pressure setting when Off.
Fan Drive Control (FDC)
PLUS+1 Compliance
All Series 45 Electric controls have met and passed the Danfoss PLUS+1 compliance standard testing, and
as such, this Series 45 control is PLUS+1 compliant. PLUS+1 compliance blocks (software) are available on
the Danfoss website, within the PLUS+1 Guide section.
The Fan Drive Control is a unique electrically actuated pressure control solution that consists of a
normally closed proportional solenoid and one dual diameter spool sliding in the control housing.
System pressure acts on an area between the two spool diameters of the spool lands. This hydraulic force
is balanced with forces of springs and the solenoid when the spool is in the metering position. When no
current is sent to the solenoid it operates the pump at or below the PC setting which is adjusted
mechanically with the adjustor screw and lock nut. Increasing the control current proportionally reduces
the pump's outlet pressure until a minimum standby pressure is reached.
Control Block 12V and 24V
The minimum system pressure is given by swashplate moments of the pump and by servo system
leakages which produce a pressure drop across the control. In addition, fan motor type and fan inertia
impact minimum system pressure.
The Normally Closed Fan Drive Control coupled with a microprocessor allows the pump to operate at an
infinite range of operating pressures between a minimum system pressure and PC setting.
We recommend that a relief valve be installed in the pump outlet for additional system protection.
Warning
The Fan Drive Control is intended for fan drive systems only! Use in other systems could result in system
component damage or unintended machine movement. The Fan Drive Control is not intended to serve
at the primary system pressure relief. Loss of the input signal to this control will cause the pump to
produce maximum flow.
All Series 45 Electric controls have met and passed the Danfoss PLUS+1 compliance standard testing, and
as such, this Series 45 control is PLUS+1 compliant. PLUS+1 compliance blocks (software) are available on
the Danfoss website, within the PLUS+1 Guide section.
Electric Torque Limiting Control Principle
The Electronic Torque Limiting control consists of a normally closed proportional relief valve (PRV)
integrated into a Pressure Compensated/Load Sensing control. This control operates as a PC/LS control,
with the additional ability to limit load sense pressure using the integrated PRV by varying the current to
the solenoid. When combined with an angle sensor, this control allows for a PC/LS control with electronic
torque limiting.
F Frame pump ETL
Pump torque consumption is a function of pump outlet pressure, pump displacement, and pump
mechanical efficiency. When pump mechanical efficiency is considered constant, the pump torque can
be limited when pump displacement is known and pump pressure is controlled. As pump displacement
increases, the pump outlet pressure can be limited using the PRV to result in a constant torque limit.
Pump outlet pressure is equal to the load sense pressure, which is limited with the PRV, plus the margin
pressure setting of the pump.

Follow this procedure when starting-up a new Series 45 installation or when restarting an installation in
which the pump has been removed.
Warning
Unintended movement of the machine or mechanism may cause injury to the technician or bystanders.
To protect against unintended movement, secure the machine or disable/disconnect the mechanism
while servicing.
Prior to installing the pump, inspect for damage incurred during shipping. Make certain all system
components (reservoir, hoses, valves, fittings, heat exchanger, etc.) are clean prior to filling with fluid.
Start-up procedure
1. Connect the pump to the prime mover. Ensure that pump shaft is properly aligned with the shaft of
the prime mover.
Caution
Incorrect shaft alignment may result in damage to drive shaft, bearings, or seal which can cause
external oil leakage.
2. Fill the reservoir with recommended hydraulic fluid. Always filter fluid through a 10 micron filter
pouring into the reservoir. Never reuse hydraulic fluid.
3. Fill the main pump housing with clean hydraulic fluid. Pour filtered oil directly into the upper most
case drain port.
4. Fill the inlet line leading from the pump to the reservoir. Check the inlet line for properly tightened
fittings and be certain it is free of restrictions and air leaks.
5. To ensure the pump stays filled with oil, install the case drain line in the upper most case drain port.
6. Install a gauge at the system pressure gauge port to monitor system pressure during start up.
Follow recommendations in the vehicle/machine operator’s manual for prime mover start up
procedures.
7. While watching the pressure gauge installed at the system pressure gauge port, jog the prime mover
or run at the lowest possible speed until system pressure builds to normal levels (minimum 11 bar
[160 psi]). Once system pressure is established, increase to full operating speed. If system pressure is
not maintained, shut down the prime mover, determine cause, and take corrective action. Refer to
the Troubleshooting chapter.
8. Operate the hydraulic system for at least fifteen minutes under light load conditions.
9. Check and adjust control settings as necessary after installation. Refer to the Adjustments chapter.
10. Shut down the prime mover and remove the pressure gauge. Replace the plug at the system pressure
gauge port.
11. Check the fluid level in the reservoir; add clean filtered fluid if necessary.
The pump is now ready for operation.
To ensure optimum life of Series 45 products, perform regular maintenance of the fluid and filter.
Contaminated fluid is the main cause of unit failure. Take care to maintain fluid cleanliness when
servicing.
Check the reservoir daily for proper fluid level, the presence of water, and rancid fluid odor. Water in the
fluid may be noted by a cloudy or milky appearance or free water in the bottom of the reservoir. Rancid
odor indicates the fluid has been exposed to excessive heat. Change the fluid immediately if these
conditions occur. Correct the problem immediately.
Change the fluid and filter per the vehicle/machine manufacturer’s recommendations or at these
intervals:
Change the fluid more frequently if it becomes contaminated with foreign matter (dirt, water, grease,
etc.) or if the fluid is subjected to temperature levels greater that the recommended maximum.
Dispose of used hydraulic fluid properly. Never reuse hydraulic fluid.
Change filters whenever the fluid is changed or when the filter indicator shows that it is necessary to
change the filter. Replace all fluid lost during filter change.
Check fluid level in reservoir.Insufficient hydraulic fluid causes cavitation.Fill the reservoir to proper level.
Check for air in system.Air in system causes noisy, erratic control.Purge air and tighten fittings. Check inlet for
leaks.
Check pump inlet pressure/vacuum.Improper inlet conditions cause erratic behavior
and low output flow.

4. Disconnect Fan Drive Control signal wire from control. Start the prime mover (or vehicle engine) at
maximal allowed speed value and allow fluid to reach normal operating temperature. With the
control’s signal wire disconnected, the fan drive pump will operate at the pressure value related to
the prime mover (vehicle engine) speed value.
5. Loosen the lock nut and turn the PC adjusting screw until the desired the pressure delta between
gauge at port M1 and gauge at port L1 or L2 is indicated. Clockwise rotation increases pressure
setting, counterclockwise rotation decreases; approximate gain 19.1 bar [277 psi] per turn. (PC

Fan Drive Control pressure setting guidelines
LS control
1. Design your system’s fan trim speed to be reached 5 bar below the PC setting
•
The PC function should not regulate maximum fan speed (maximum system pressure) in a normal
duty cycle (i
2. This allows the Fan Drive Control’s PC setting to fulfill its safety functionality without altering normal
fan operation
•
The fan trim speed should be reached at Threshold current
•
Refer to the model order code or the designation on your pump’s nametag for your PC setting
3. RDM integral SCR or customer installed system pressure reliefs should have 15 bar minimum
separation from PC setting
•
This is done to prevent possible ‘talking’ between the pumps ‘PC’ function and any other system
reliefs
•
Fans should be rated to operate intermittently at the System Relief Valve setting
The LS setting is indicated in the pump model code. Refer to the Series 45 Open Circuit Axial Piston PumpsTechnical Information Manual, 520L0519, for more information.
Before performing adjustments, read Pressure measurement on page 20
1. Install a pressure gauge in port M2 to measure system pressure. Install a pressure gauge in case drain
port L1 or L2 to measure case pressure. Tee-in a gauge to the LS / remote PC signal line (port X).
Warning
Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate your skin causing
serious injury and/or infection. Relieve pressure in the system before removing hoses, fittings,
gauges, or components.

Warning
Unintended movement of the machine or mechanism may cause injury to the technician or
bystanders. To protect against unintended movement, secure the machine or disable / disconnect
the mechanism while servicing.
Contamination can damage internal components and void the manufacturer’s warranty. Take
precautions to ensure system cleanliness when removing and reinstalling system lines.
2. Start the prime mover and allow fluid to reach normal operating temperature. Slowly operate a
hydraulic function that will demand approximately half flow from the pump, but keep system
pressure below the PC set point.
3. Loosen the LS set screw. While watching the pressure gauges, turn the LS adjusting plug until the
desired pressure differential between port M2 and port X is achieved2. Clockwise rotation increases
the setting, counterclockwise rotation decreases it; approximate gain = 17 bar [250 psi] per turn.
4. While holding the position of the LS adjusting plug, torque the LS set screw to 9 N•m [7 lbf•ft].
5. Operate a hydraulic function to its full extension loading the pump at maximum pressure and zero
flow.
6. Loosen the PC set screw and turn the PC adjusting plug until the pressure gauge at port M1 or M2
indicates the desired setting3. Clockwise rotation increases pressure, counterclockwise rotation
decreases it; approximate gain = 42 bar [610 psi] per turn.
If the pressure does not increase, an external system relief valve may require adjustment. External
system relief valve must be set above the PC setting for proper operation.
7. While holding the position of the PC adjusting plug, torque the PC set screw to 9 N•m [7 lbf•ft].
8. Stop the prime mover, remove the pressure gauges, and return the system to its normal operating
configuration.
LS control adjustment

The LS setting is a differential pressure. Subtract pilot pressure at port X from system pressure at port M2 to compute the actual
setting.
3
PC setting is referenced to case pressure. Subtract case pressure from system pressure to compute the actual setting.
Series 45 F90C and F74B open circuit pumps are available with an optional adjustable displacement
limiter. This adjustable stop limits the pump’s maximum displacement.
Setting range
F90C45.6 to 90 cm³ [2.78 to 5.49 in³]
F74B34.1 to 74 cm³ [1.92 to 4.52 in³]
The Series 45 open circuit variable pumps use a lip-type shaft seal. You can replace this seal without
major disassembly of the unit. Replacing the shaft seal requires removing the pump from the machine.
Removal
1. Using the appropriate snap-ring pliers, remove the retaining ring (K010) from the housing.
2. Remove the shaft seal (K020) from the bore in the pump housing and discard. Puncture the face of
the seal with a packing hook, or use a slide-hammer type puller to remove the seal.
Caution
Don’t damage the pump housing or shaft.
Shaft seal and retaining ring
Auxiliary pads
Installation
1. Inspect the pump housing and new seal for damage. Inspect the sealing area on the shaft for rust,
wear, or contamination. Polish the sealing area on the shaft if necessary.
2. Lubricate the lip of the new shaft seal with clean hydraulic fluid. Place a protective sleeve over the
shaft end to prevent damage to the seal during installation.
3. Keeping the seal perpendicular to the shaft, press the new seal into the housing just far enough to
clear the retaining ring groove. Install seal with the cupped side toward the shaft bearing. Do not
damage the seal during installation.
Caution
Premature bearing failure can result if the shaft seal contacts the shaft bearing. Press the seal into the
housing only far enough to clear the retaining ring groove.
4. Using the appropriate snap ring pliers, install the seal retaining ring.
5. Remove the installation sleeve.
You may install auxiliary mounting pads on pumps equipped with through-drive radial ported end caps.
Follow these steps to either remove, replace, or exchange auxiliary mounting pads.
