MP1 high pressure relief valve (HPRV) and charge check
All MP1 pumps are equipped with a combination high pressure relief and charge check valve. The highpressure relief function is a dissipative (with heat generation) pressure control valve for the purpose of
limiting excessive system pressures. The charge check function acts to replenish the low-pressure side of
the working loop with charge oil. Each side of the transmission loop has a dedicated HPRV valve that is
non-adjustable with a factory set pressure. When system pressure exceeds the factory setting of the
valve, oil is passed from the high pressure system loop, into the charge gallery, and into the low pressure
system loop via the charge check.
The pump order code allows for different pressure settings to be used at each system port. The system
pressure order code for pumps with only HPRV is a reflection of the HPRV setting.
HPRV´s are factory set at a low flow condition. Any application or operating condition which leads to
elevated HPRV flow will cause a pressure rise with flow above a valve setting. Consult factory for
application review. Excessive operation of the HPRV will generate heat in the closed loop and may cause
damage to the internal components of the pump.
Bypass function
The bypass function allows a machine or load to be moved without rotating the pump shaft or prime
mover. The single pump HPRV valve also provides a loop bypass function when each of the two HPRV hex
plugs are mechanically backed out three full turns.
Engaging the bypass function mechanically connects both A & B sides of the working loop to the
common charge gallery.
Possible damage to hydromotor(s).
Excessive speeds and extended load/vehicle movement must be avoided. The load or vehicle should be
moved not more than 20% of maximum speed and for a duration not exceeding 3 minutes. When the
bypass function is no longer needed, care should be taken to re-seat the HPRV hex plugs to the normal
operating position.

Operation
MP1 charge pressure relief valve (CPRV) function
An internal charge pressure relief valve (CPRV) regulates charge pressure within the hydraulic circuit. The
CPRV is a direct acting poppet valve that regulates charge pressure at a designated level above case
pressure.
The charge pressure relief valve setting is specified within the model code of the pump. MP1 pumps with
charge pump have the CPRV set at 1800 rpm while MP1 pumps without charge pump have the CPRV set
with 18.9 l/min [5.0 US gal/min] of external supply flow. The charge pressure rise rate, with flow, is
approximately 1 bar/10 liter [5.4 psi/US gal].
MP1 pumps are available with an optional integral loop flushing. A loop flushing valve will remove heat
and contaminants from the main loop at a rate faster than otherwise possible.
The MP1 loop flushing design is a simple spring centered shuttle spool with an orifice plug. The shuttle
shifts at approximately . The flushing flow is a function of the low loop system pressure (charge) and the
size of the plug.
When a MP1 pump is used with an external loop flushing shuttle valve, ensure that the charge setting of
the pump matches the setting of the loop flushing shuttle valve. Contact your Danfoss representative for
the availability of additional charge relief settings.
Electrical displacement control (EDC)
EDC principle
An EDC is a displacement (flow) control. Pump swashplate position is proportional to the input command
and therefore vehicle or load speed (excluding influence of efficiency), is dependent only on the prime
mover speed or motor displacement.
The Electrical Displacement Control (EDC) consists of a pair of proportional solenoids on each side of a
three-position, four-way porting spool. The proportional solenoid applies a force input to the spool,
which ports hydraulic pressure to either side of a double acting servo piston. Differential pressure across
the servo piston rotates the swashplate, changing the pump‘s displacement from full displacement in
one direction to full displacement in the opposite direction. Under some circumstances, such as
contamination, the control spool could stick and cause the pump to stay at some displacement.
A 170 μm screen is located in the supply line immediately before the control porting spool.

Technical Information
MP1 Axial Piston Pumps Size 28/32, 38/45
Operation
EDC operation
EDC’s are current driven controls requiring a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) signal. Pulse width
modulation allows more precise control of current to the solenoids. The PWM signal causes the solenoid
pin to push against the porting spool, which pressurizes one end of the servo piston, while draining the
other. Pressure differential across the servo piston moves the swashplate.
A swashplate feedback link, opposing control links, and a linear spring provide swashplate position force
feedback to the solenoid. The control system reaches equilibrium when the position of the swashplate
spring feedback force exactly balances the input command solenoid force from the operator. As
hydraulic pressures in the operating loop change with load, the control assembly and servo/swashplate
system work constantly to maintain the commanded position of the swashplate.
The EDC incorporates a positive neutral deadband as a result of the control spool porting, preloads from
the servo piston assembly, and the linear control spring. Once the neutral threshold current is reached,
the swashplate is positioned directly proportional to the control current. To minimize the effect of the
control neutral deadband, we recommend the transmission controller or operator input device
incorporate a jump up current to offset a portion of the neutral deadband.
The neutral position of the control spool does provide a positive preload pressure to each end of the
servo piston assembly.
When the control input signal is either lost or removed, or if there is a loss of charge pressure, the springloaded servo piston will automatically return the pump to the neutral position.

Control response
MP1 controls are available with optional control passage orifices to assist in matching the rate of swashplate response to the application requirements (e.g. in the event of electrical failure).
The time required for the pump output flow to change from zero to full flow (acceleration) or full flow to
zero (deceleration) is a net function of spool porting, orifices, and charge pressure.
A swash-plate response times table is available for each frame size. Testing should be conducted to verify
the proper orifice selection for the desired response. Typical response times at the following conditions:
Δ p = 250 bar [3626 psi]

Manual override (MOR)
Initial actuation of the o-ring seal MOR plunger will require a force of 45 N. Additional actuations typically
require less force to engage the MOR plunger. Proportional control of the pump via the MOR is not
intended. The MOR plunger has a 4 mm diameter and must be manually depressed to be engaged.
Depressing the plunger mechanically moves the control spool which allows the pump to go on stroke.

Technical Information
MP1 Axial Piston Pumps Size 28/32, 38/45
Operation
Unintended MOR operation can cause the pump to go into stroke.
The vehicle or device must always be in a safe condition (example: vehicle lifted off the ground) when
using the MOR function. The MOR should be engaged anticipating a full stroke response from the pump.
Refer to control flow table for the relationship of solenoid to direction of flow.
An HDC is a Hydraulic Displacement Control. Pump swashplate position is proportional to the input
command and therefore vehicle speed or load speed (excluding influence of efficiency), is dependent
only on the prime mover speed or motor displacement.
The HDC control uses a hydraulic input signal to operate a porting spool, which ports hydraulic pressure
to either side of a double acting servo piston. The hydraulic signal applies a force input to the spool
which ports hydraulic pressure to either side of a double acting servo piston. Differential pressure across
the servo piston rotates the swashplate, changing the pump’s displacement from full displacement in
one direction to full displacement in the opposite direction. Under some circumstances, such as
contamination, the porting spool could stick and cause the pump to stay at some displacement.
A serviceable 175 μm screen is located in the supply line immediately before the control porting spool.

Swashplate angle sensor for EDC controls
The angle sensor detects the swash plate position with an accuracy dependent upon the calibration
effort done for the application and direction of rotation from the neutral position. At minimum the sensor
can be used for forward, neutral and reverse (FNR) detection.
The sensor works on the hall-effect technology. The implemented technology is based on a
measurement of the magnetic field direction in parallel to the chip surface. This field direction is
converted to a voltage signal at the output.
Enhanced calibration of the non-linear behavior leads to more exact calculation of the pump swashplate
angle. The 4-pin DEUTSCH connector is part of the sensor housing. The swashplate angle sensor is
available for all EDC controls for 12 V and 24 V.
Swashplate angle vs. output of supply voltage
Warning
Strong magnetic fields in the proximity of the sensor can influence the sensor signal and must be
avoided.
Contact your Danfoss representative in case the angle sensor will be used for safety functions.

Calibration of the sensor output within the software is mandatory. Vehicle neutral thresholds in the
software (±0.5°) are vehicle dependent and must consider different conditions, example: system
temperature, system pressure and/or shaft speed.
For safety function: If the sensor fails (invalid signal <10% or >90% of supply voltage), it must be sure
that the ECU will go into a diagnostic mode and shift into limited mode in order for the driver to take the
full control or the mechanical breaks should be activated. Strong magnetic fields in the proximity of the
sensor can influence the sensor signal and must be avoided.
An MDC is a Manual proportional Displacement Control (MDC). The MDC consists of a handle on top of a
rotary input shaft. The shaft provides an eccentric connection to a feedback link. This link is connected on
its one end with a porting spool. On its other end the link is connected the pumps swashplate.
Danfoss | February 2022BC178386485160en-000503 | 21
This design provides a travel feedback without spring. When turning the shaft the spool moves thus
providing hydraulic pressure to either side of a double acting servo piston of the pump.
Differential pressure across the servo piston rotates the swash plate, changing the pump’s displacement.
Simultaneously the swashplate movement is fed back to the control spool providing proportionality
between shaft rotation on the control and swashplate rotation.

Operation
The MDC changes the pump displacement between no flow and full flow into opposite directions. Under
some circumstances, such as contamination, the control spool could stick and cause the pump to stay at
some displacement.
A 170 μm screen is located in the supply line immediately before the control porting spool.
The MDC is sealed by means of a static O-ring between the actuation system and the control block. Its
shaft is sealed by means of a special O-ring which is applied for low friction. The special O-ring is
protected from dust, water and aggressive liquids or gases by means of a special lip seal.

MDC operation
The MDC provides a mechanical dead-band required to overcome the tolerances in the mechanical
actuation. The MDC contains an internal end stop to prevent turning the handle into any inappropriate
position.
The MDC provides a permanent restoring moment appropriate for turning the MDC input shaft back to
neutral position only. This is required to take the backlash out of the mechanical connections between
the Bowden cable and the control.
High case pressure may cause excessive wear and the NSS to indicate that the control is not in neutral
position. In addition, if the case pressure exceeds 5 bar there is a risk of an insufficient restoring moment.
The MDC is designed for a maximum case pressure of 5 bar and a rated case pressure of 3 bar.
Customers must install some support to limit the setting range of their Bowden cable to avoid an
•
overload of the MDC.
Customers can apply their own handle design but they must care about a robust clamping
•
connection between their handle and the control shaft and avoid overload of the shaft.
Customers can connect two MDC’s on a tandem unit in such a way that the actuation force will be
•
transferred from the pilot control to the second control. The kinematic of the linkages must ensure
that either control shaft is protected from torque overload.

Caution
Using the internal spring force on the input shaft is not an appropriate way to return the customer

applicable for any limitation of the Bowden cable stroke, except the applied torque to the shaft will never
exceed 20 N•m.

Non feedback proportional electric control (NFPE)
The Non Feedback Proportional Electric (NFPE) control is an electrical automotive control in which an
electrical input signal activates one of two proportional solenoids that port charge pressure to either side
of the pump servo cylinder. The NFPE control has no mechanical feedback mechanism.
A serviceable 170 μm screen is located in the supply line immediately before the control porting spool.
Under some circumstances, such as contamination, the control spool could stick and cause the pump to
stay at some displacement.
The pump displacement is proportional to the solenoid signal current, but it also depends upon pump
input speed and system pressure. This characteristic also provides a power limiting function by reducing
the pump swashplate angle as system pressure increases. A typical response characteristic is shown in
the accompanying graph. Under some circumstances, such as contamination, the control spool could
stick and cause the pump to stay at some displacement.

Non-feedback, proportional hydraulic (NFPH) control
The non-feedback proportional hydraulic (NFPH) control is a hydraulic proportional control in which an
input pressure signal directly controls the pump servo piston to achieve pump displacement.
MP1 pumps with NFPH control have a special servo cylinder capable of providing proportional control
with a hydraulic input.
Swashplate position is proportional to the differential signal pressure at ports X1 and X2, but
displacement is also dependent on pump speed and system pressure. This characteristic of non-feedback
controls provides a natural power limiting function by reducing the pump swashplate angle as system
pressure increases. The accompanying graph shows typical operating characteristics.
The system may require tuning through the pump orifice combinations, control pressure supply line
sizing, actuation device output pressure and flow adjustments to achieve proper vehicle performance
characteristics.

The Automotive control (AC) is an electric NFPE control with an integrated micro-controller, installed on
the pump.
The integrated micro-controller enhanced control performance with a flexible, configurable control
scheme for an entire single path propel transmission. It can be used in combination with fixed and
variable displacement hydraulic motors. With the pre-installed application software and easily
changeable control parameters, it is possible to tailor the vehicle’s driving behavior to the individual
requirements of the customer.
The H1 automotive control is divided into 2 systems:
•
AC-1
•
AC-2
AC-2 is an extension of AC-1 that features an integrated pump swash plate angle sensor and software
enabled functions such as swash plate control.
Mode types
The application software provides 3 different hydrostatic propel methods, defined as mode types, which
can be used individually.
Automotive Load

Torque controlled driving behavior. Setpoint for the drive curve is the engine
rpm.
Speed controlled driving mode. Setpoint for the drive curve is a joystick or
drive pedal signal, independent of the engine rpm. The best performance will
achieved with an AC-2 Swash Plate Sensor.
Creep-Automotive
Load dependent
Torque controlled driving behavior (like Automotive). Setpoint for the drive
curve is the engine rpm. The setpoint can be reduced by the creep
potentiometer if a high engine rpm in combination with low vehicle speed is
needed.

The pump offers an optional control cut off valve integrated into the control. This valve will block charge
pressure to the control, allowing the servo springs to de-stroke the pump regardless of the pump´s
primary control input. There is also a hydraulic logic port, X7, which can be used to control other machine
functions, such as spring applied pressure release brakes. The pressure at X7 is controlled by the control
cut off solenoid. The X7 port would remain plugged if not needed.
In the normal (de-energized) state of the solenoid charge flow is prevented from reaching the controls. At
the same time the control passages and the X7 logic port are connected and drained to the pump case.
The pump will remain in neutral, or return to neutral, independent of the control input signal. Return to
neutral time will be dependent on oil viscosity, pump speed, swashplate angle, and system pressure.
When the solenoid is energized, charge flow and pressure is allowed to reach the pump control. The X7
logic port will also be connected to charge pressure and flow.
The solenoid control is intended to be independent of the primary pump control making the control cut
off an override control feature. It is however recommended that the control logic of the CCO valve be
maintained such that the primary pump control signal is also disabled whenever the CCO valve is deenergized. Other control logic conditions may also be considered.
All EDC and MDC controls are available with a CCO valve.
The response time of the unit depends on the control type and the control orifices used.
The CCO-valve is available with 12 V or 24 V solenoid.
CCO solenoids are design for battery voltage application within the voltage range in the table above, in
consideration of a wide range of environmental temperature common for known hydraulic applications.
Closed loop PWM current supply can be also applied and is helpful in case that the voltage range is
exceeded, or ambient temperature could rise in an unusual manner.
Brake gauge port with MDC
Caution
It is not recommended to use brake port for any external flow consumption to avoid malfunction of CCO
function.
Displacement limiter

displacement.
The maximum displacement of the pump can be set independently for forward and reverse using the
two adjustment screws to mechanically limit the travel of the servo piston. Adjustment procedures are
found in the Service Manual. Adjustments under operating conditions may cause leakage. The
adjustment screw can be completely removed from the threaded bore if backed out to far.

Operating parameters
Input speed
Minimum speed is the lowest input speed recommended during engine idle condition. Operating below
minimum speed limits pump’s ability to maintain adequate flow for lubrication and power transmission.
Rated speed is the highest input speed recommended at full power condition. Operating at or below
this speed should yield satisfactory product life.
Maximum speed is the highest operating speed permitted. Exceeding maximum speed reduces product
life and can cause loss of hydrostatic power and braking capacity. Never exceed the maximum speed
limit under any operating conditions.
Operating conditions between Rated speed and Maximum speed should be restricted to less than full
power and to limited periods of time. For most drive systems, maximum unit speed occurs during
downhill braking or negative power conditions.
During hydraulic braking and downhill conditions, the prime mover must be capable of providing
sufficient braking torque in order to avoid pump over speed. This is especially important to consider for
turbocharged and Tier 4 engines.
Warning
Unintended vehicle or machine movement hazard.
Exceeding maximum speed may cause a loss of hydrostatic drive line power and braking capacity. You
must provide a braking system, redundant to the hydrostatic transmission, sufficient to stop and hold the
vehicle or machine in the event of hydrostatic drive power loss.
System pressure
System pressure is the differential pressure between system ports A and B. It is the dominant operating
variable affecting hydraulic unit life. High system pressure, which results from high load, reduces
expected life. Hydraulic unit life depends on the speed and normal operating, or weighted average,
pressure that can only be determined from a duty cycle analysis.
Application pressure is the high pressure relief setting normally defined within the order code of the
pump. This is the applied system pressure at which the driveline generates the maximum calculated pull
or torque in the application.
Maximum working pressure is the highest recommended Application pressure. Maximum working
pressure is not intended to be a continuous pressure. Propel systems with Application pressures at, or
below, this pressure should yield satisfactory unit life given proper component sizing.
Maximum pressure is the highest allowable Application pressure under any circumstance. Application
pressures above Maximum Working Pressure will only be considered with duty cycle analysis and factory
approval. Pressure spikes are normal and must be considered when reviewing maximum working
pressure.
All pressure limits are differential pressures referenced to low loop (charge) pressure. Subtract low loop
pressure from gauge readings to compute the differential.
Minimum low loop pressure (above case pressure) is the lowest pressure allowed to maintain a safe
working condition in the low side of the loop.
An internal charge relief valve regulates charge pressure. Charge pressure maintains a minimum pressure
in the low side of the transmission loop.
The charge pressure setting listed in the order code is the set pressure of the charge relief valve with the
pump in neutral, operating at 1800 min-1 [rpm], and with a fluid viscosity of 32 mm2/s [150 SUS]. Pumps
configured with no charge pump (external charge supply) are set with a charge flow of 18.9 l/min [5.0 US
gal/min] and a fluid viscosity of 32 mm2/s [150 SUS].
The charge pressure setting is referenced to case pressure.
Charge pump inlet pressure
At normal operating temperature charge inlet pressure must not fall below rated charge inlet pressure
(vacuum).
Minimum charge inlet pressure is only allowed at cold start conditions. In some applications it is
recommended to warm up the fluid (e.g. in the tank) before starting the engine and then run the engine
at limited speed until the fluid warms up.
Maximum charge pump inlet pressure may be applied continuously.
Case pressure
Temperature
Under normal operating conditions, the rated case pressure must not be exceeded. During cold start case
pressure must be kept below maximum intermittent case pressure. Size drain plumbing accordingly.
Caution
Possible component damage or leakage
Operation with case pressure in excess of stated limits may damage seals, gaskets, and/or housings,
causing external leakage. Performance may also be affected since charge and system pressure are
additive to case pressure.
The high temperature limits apply at the hottest point in the transmission, which is normally the motor
case drain. The system should generally be run at or below the rated temperature.
The maximum intermittent temperature is based on material properties and should never be
exceeded.
Cold oil will not affect the durability of the transmission components, but it may affect the ability of oil to
flow and transmit power; therefore temperatures should remain 16 °C [30 °F] above the pour point of the
hydraulic fluid.
The minimum temperature relates to the physical properties of component materials. Size heat
exchangers to keep the fluid within these limits. Danfoss recommends testing to verify that these
temperature limits are not exceeded.
Ensure fluid temperature and viscosity limits are concurrently satisfied.
To prevent premature wear, ensure that only clean fluid enters the hydrostatic transmission circuit. A
filter capable of controlling the fluid cleanliness to ISO 4406, class 22/18/13 (SAE J1165) or better, under
normal operating conditions, is recommended.These cleanliness levels cannot be applied for hydraulic
fluid residing in the component housing/case or any other cavity after transport.
Filtration strategies include suction or pressure filtration. The selection of a filter depends on a number of
factors including the contaminant ingression rate, the generation of contaminants in the system, the
required fluid cleanliness, and the desired maintenance interval. Filters are selected to meet the above
requirements using rating parameters of efficiency and capacity.
Filter efficiency can be measured with a Beta ratio (βX). For simple suction-filtered closed circuit
transmissions and open circuit transmissions with return line filtration, a filter with a β-ratio within the
range of β
and closed circuits with cylinders being supplied from the same reservoir, a higher filter efficiency is
recommended. This also applies to systems with gears or clutches using a common reservoir. For these
systems, a charge pressure or return filtration system with a filter β-ratio in the range of β
10) or better is typically required.
Because each system is unique, only a thorough testing and evaluation program can fully validate the
filtration system. Please see Design Guidelines for Hydraulic Fluid Cleanliness Technical Information,
BC152886482150 for more information.

System design parameters
Suction filtration
Charge pressure filtration
In a pressure filtration system the pressure filter is remotely mounted in the circuit, downstream of the
charge supply. Pressure filtration is possible with, and without, an internal charge pump. Filters used in
charge pressure filtration circuits should be rated to at least 35 bar [508 psi] pressure. Danfoss
recommends locating a 100 – 125 micron screen in the reservoir or in the charge inlet when using charge
pressure filtration.
A filter bypass valve is necessary to prevent damage to the hydrostatic system. In the event of high
pressure drop associated with a blocked filter or cold start-up conditions, fluid may bypass the filter
temporarily. Avoid working with an open bypass for an extended period. A visual or electrical bypass
indicator is preferred. Proper filter maintenance is mandatory.
The loss of hydrostatic drive line power, in any mode of operation (forward, neutral, or reverse) may cause
the system to lose hydrostatic braking capacity. You must provide a braking system, redundant to the
hydrostatic transmission, sufficient to stop and hold the vehicle or machine in the event of hydrostatic
drive power loss.
Fluid selection
Ratings and performance data are based on operating with hydraulic fluids containing oxidation, rust
and foam inhibitors. These fluids must possess good thermal and hydrolytic stability to prevent wear,
erosion, and corrosion of pump components.
Caution
Never mix hydraulic fluids of different types.
Reservoir
Case drain
Charge pump
The hydrostatic system reservoir should accommodate maximum volume changes during all system
operating modes and promote de-aeration of the fluid as it passes through the tank.
A suggested minimum total reservoir volume is 5/8 of the maximum charge pump flow per minute with a
minimum fluid volume equal to 1/2 of the maximum charge pump flow per minute. This allows 30
seconds fluid dwell for removing entrained air at the maximum return flow. This is usually adequate to
allow for a closed reservoir (no breather) in most applications.
Locate the reservoir outlet (charge pump inlet) above the bottom of the reservoir to take advantage of
gravity separation and prevent large foreign particles from entering the charge inlet line. A 100-125 µm
screen over the outlet port is recommended.
Position the reservoir inlet (fluid return) to discharge below the normal fluid level, toward the interior of
the tank. A baffle (or baffles) will further promote de-aeration and reduce surging of the fluid.
The pump housing must remain full of oil at all times. The MP1 pump is equipped with two case drain
ports to provide flexibility for hose routing and pump installation. Connect a line from one of the case
drain ports to the reservoir. Case drain fluid is typically the hottest fluid in the system.
Charge flow is required on MP1 pumps. The charge pump provides flow to make up for system leakage,
maintain a positive pressure in the main circuit, and provide flow for cooling and filtration.
Many factors influence the charge flow requirements and the resulting charge pump size selection. These
factors include system pressure, pump speed, pump swashplate angle, type of fluid, temperature, size of
heat exchanger, length and size of hydraulic lines, auxiliary flow requirements, hydrostatic motor type,
etc. When initially sizing and selecting hydrostatic units for an application, it is frequently not possible to
have all the information necessary to accurately evaluate all aspects of charge pump size selection.
Unusual application conditions may require a more detailed review of charge pump sizing. Charge
pressure must be maintained at a specified level under all operating conditions to prevent damage to the
transmission. Danfoss recommends testing under actual operating conditions to verify this.

Charge pump sizing/selection
In most applications a general guideline is that the charge pump displacement should be at least 10 % of
the total displacement of all components in the system. Unusual application conditions may require a
more detailed review of charge flow requirements. Please refer to Selection of Drive line Components,
BC157786484430 for a detailed procedure.
System features and conditions which may invalidate the 10 % guideline include (but are not limited to):
Continuous operation at low input speeds {< 1500 min-1 (rpm)}
•
High shock loading and/or long loop lines
•
High input shaft speeds
•
LSHT motors with large displacement and/or multiple LSHT motors
•

Bearing life and external shaft loading
Bearing life is a function of speed, system pressure, charge pressure, and swashplate angle, plus any
external side or thrust loads. Other life factors include oil type and viscosity. The influence of swashplate
angle includes displacement as well as direction. External loads are found in applications where the
pump is driven with side/thrust load (belt or gear) as well as in installations with misalignment and
improper concentricity between the pump and drive coupling. All external side loads will act to reduce
the normal bearing life of a pump.
In vehicle propel drives with no external shaft loads and where the system pressure and swashplate angle
are changing direction and magnitude regularly, the normal B10 bearing life (90% survival) will exceed
the hydraulic load-life of the unit.
In non propel drives such as vibratory drives, conveyor drives, or fan drives, the operating speed and
pressure are often nearly constant and the swashplate angle is predominantly at maximum. These drives
have a distinctive duty cycle compared to a propulsion drive. In these types of applications a bearing life
review is recommended.
MP1 pumps are designed with bearings that can accept some external radial. When external loads are
present, the allowable radial shaft loads are a function of the load position relative to the mounting
flange, the load orientation relative to the internal loads, and the operating pressures of the hydraulic
unit. In applications where external shaft loads can not be avoided, the impact on bearing life can be
minimized by proper orientation of the load. Optimum pump orientation is a consideration of the net
loading on the shaft from the external load, the pump rotating group, and the charge pump load.

The maximum allowable radial loads (Re), based on the maximum external moment (Me) and the
distance (L) from the mounting flange to the load, may be determined from the tables below and the
cross section drawing.
The maximum allowable radial load is calculated as: Re = Me / L
Contact your Danfoss representative for an evaluation of unit bearing life if continuously applied external
radial loads are 25% or more of the maximum allowable, or if thrust loads are known to exist. Use tapered
output shafts or clamp-type couplings where radial shaft side loads are present.

Hydraulic unit life is defined as the fatigue life expectancy of the hydraulic components. It is a function of
speed and system pressure; however, system pressure is the dominant variable. High pressure, which
results from high load, reduces expected hydraulic unit life.
System component selection is based on determination of the application maximum loads and speeds.
Testing is recommended to secure duty cycle data in which to predict hydraulic unit life. Contact your
Danfoss representative for assistance in unit life determination. If duty cycle data is not available, normal
input power and maximum pump displacement can be used to determine an application pressure in
which to predict life.
MP1 pumps will meet most application hydraulic unit life expectancies if applied within the parameters
specified in this manual and chosen considering the guidelines within Danfoss publication Selection ofDriveline ComponentsBC157786484430. For more detailed information on hydraulic unit life, see
Danfoss publication Pressure and Speed LimitsBC152886484313.
Mounting flange loads
Shock load moment is the result of an instantaneous jolt to the system. Continuous load moments are
generated by the typical vibratory movement of the application. Avoid excessive loading of the
mounting flange such as adding tandem mounted auxiliary pumps and/or subjecting pumps to high
shock loads. Design pump applications to stay within the allowable shock load moment and allowable
continuous load moment.
Use the following formulas to estimate overhung load moment for multiple pump mountings:
MS = GS (W1L1 + W2L2 + ... +WnLn)
MC = GC (W1L1 + W2L2 + ... +WnLn)
Refer to the Installation Drawings section to find pump length (L). Refer to the table Technical
Specifications in the Specifications section, to find pump weight (W). An exact measure of W will depend
on the pump’s features.

This illustration shows two single pumps in tandem.
Estimated maximum and continuous acceleration factors for some typical applications are shown.
Applications which experience extreme resonant vibrations may require additional pump support.
Typical continuous (vibratory) values can vary significantly due to changes in engine and pump
configuration and mounting methods.
Base shaft selection on a review of the maximum torque required by the application and the maximum
torque available from the prime mover. Application duty cycle and continuous torque rating of the prime
mover are the main variable to consider when selecting a shaft.
Shaft torque and splines lubrication
The rated torque is a measure of tooth wear and is the torque level at which a normal spline life of 1 x
107 shaft revolutions can be expected. The rated torque presumes a regularly maintained minimum level
of lubrication via a moly-disulfide grease in order to reduce the coefficient of friction and to restrict the
presence of oxygen at the spline interface. It is also assumed that the mating spline has a minimum
hardness of Rc 55 and full spline depth. The rated torque is proportional to the minimum active spline
length.
However, a spline running in oil-flooded environment provides superior oxygen restriction in addition to
contaminant flushing. The rated torque of a flooded spline can increase to that of the maximum
published rating. A flooded spline would be indicative of a pump driven by a pump drive or plugged into
an auxiliary pad of a pump.
Maximum torque ratings are based on torsional fatigue strength considering 1 x 105 full load reversing
cycles.
Maintaining a spline engagement at least equal to the pitch diameter will also maximize spline life. Spline
engagements of less than ¾ pitch diameter are subject to high contact stress and spline fretting.
Shaft torque for tapered shafts
The rated torque is based on the contact pressure between the shaft and hub surfaces with poor contact
areas. With increased quality of the contact areas, the contact pressure between shaft and hub is
increased, allowing higher torque to be transmitted.
A key is intended as an installation aid only. Any torque carried by the key as a result of poor contact area
or mis-alignment will limit the torque carrying capability of the shaft significantly.
Maximum torque rating is based on an ideal contact area of 100% and the retaining nut properly
torqued. This allows for the highest contact pressure between the shaft and the mating hub.

Shaft availability and torque ratings
Alignment between the mating spline’s Pitch Diameters is another critical feature in determining the
operating life of a splined drive connection. Plug-in, or rigid spline drive installations can impose severe
radial loads on the shafts.
The radial load is a function of the transmitted torque and shaft eccentricity. Increased spline clearance
will not totally alleviate this condition; BUT, increased spline clearance will prevent mechanical
interference due to misalignment or radial eccentricity between the pitch diameters of the mating
splines. Spline life can be maximized if an intermediate coupling is introduced between the bearing
supported splined shafts.
Multiple pump installations must consider the loads from the entire pump stack and all torques are
additive. Charge pumps loads must also be included.
Through torque diagram
Attention
Torque required by auxiliary pumps is additive. Ensure requirements do not exceed shaft torque ratings.
Understanding and minimizing system noise
Noise is transmitted in fluid power systems in two ways: as fluid borne noise, and structure borne noise.
Fluid-borne noise (pressure ripple or pulsation) is created as pumping elements discharge oil into the
pump outlet. It is affected by the compressibility of the oil, and the pump’s ability to transition pumping
elements from high to low pressure. Pulsations travel through the hydraulic lines at the speed of sound
until there is a change (such as an elbow) in the line. Amplitude varies with overall line length and
position.
Structure borne noise is transmitted wherever the pump casing connects to the rest of the system. The
way system components respond to excitation depends on their size, form, material, and mounting.
System lines and pump mounting can amplify pump noise.
Follow these suggestions to help minimize noise in your application:
Use flexible hoses.
•
Limit system line length.
•
If possible, optimize system line position to minimize noise.

Tapered shaft customer acknowledgement
The Danfoss MP1 tapered shaft has been designed using the industry standard ISO 3019-1, minus the
through-hole in the end of the shaft. Danfoss recommends a self-locking nut instead of a castle nut and
pin. The nut and mating square-cut key are customer supplied.
The specified torque rating of the tapered shaft documented above is based on the cross-sectional
diameter of the shaft, through the keyway, and assumes the proper clamp and fit between shaft and
coupling. Danfoss guarantees the design and manufactured quality of the tapered shaft. The customer is
responsible for the design and manufactured quality of the mating female coupling and key and applied
torque on the nut. Danfoss has made provisions for the key in accordance to the ISO specification with
the understanding that the key is solely to assist in the installation of the mating coupling.
Caution
Torque must be transmitted by the taper fit between the shaft and it’s mating coupling, not the key.
failure.
Torque or loading inadvertently transmitted by the customer supplied key may lead to premature shaft
