Series T90 variable displacement pumps are compact, high power density units. All models utilize the
parallel axial piston/slipper concept in conjunction with a tiltable swashplate to vary the pump’s
displacement. Reversing the angle of the swashplate re-verses the flow of oil from the pump and thus
reverses the direction of rotation of the motor output.
Series T90 pumps include an integral charge pump which is manually controlled to pro-vide system
replenishing and cooling oil flow, as well as control fluid flow.
PLUS+1 Compliant Controls and Sensors
A wide range of Series T90 controls and sensors are PLUS+1™ compliant. PLUS+1 compliance means our
controls and sensors are directly compatible with the PLUS+1 machine control architecture. Adding
Series T90 pumps to your application using PLUS+1 GUIDE software is as easy as drag-and-drop. Software
development that used to take months can now be done in just a few hours. For more information on
PLUS+1 GUIDE, visit www.sauer-danfoss.com/plus1.
Series T90 pumps can be used together in combination with other Danfoss pumps and motors in the
overall hydraulic system. Danfoss hydrostatic products are designed with many different displacement,
pressure and load-life capabilities.

Recommended installation positionPump installation position is discretionary, however the recommended control position is on the top
or at the side, with the top position preferred.
Vertical input shaft installation is acceptable.
If input shaft is at the top 1 bar case pressure must be maintained during operation.
The pump housing must be filled with hydraulic fluid under all conditions; including after a long
period of shutdown. Before operating the machine, ensure the pump housing and case drain lines are
free of air.
Recommended mounting for a multiple pump stack is to arrange the highest power flow towards the
input source.
Consult Danfoss for nonconformance to these guidelines.

This section defines the operating parameters and limitations for Series T90 pumps with regard to input
speeds and pressures. For actual parameters, refer to the Operating parameters for each displacement.
Input Speed
Minimum speed is the lowest input speed recommended during engine idle condition. Operating below
minimum speed limits the 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 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.
For more information consult Pressure and speed limits, BC152886484313, when determining speed limits
for a particular application.
Independent Braking System
System Pressure
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. The braking system must also be
sufficient to hold the machine in place when full power is applied.
System pressure is the differential pressure between high pressure system ports. 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 or pressure limiter 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.
Minimum low loop pressure must be maintained under all operating conditions to avoid cavitation.
Servo Pressure
Servo pressure is the pressure in the servo system needed to position and hold the pump on stroke. It
depends on system pressure and speed. At minimum servo pressure the pump will run at reduced stroke
depending on speed and pressure.
Minimum servo pressure at corner power holds the pump on full stroke at max speed and max
Maximum servo pressure is the highest pressure typically given by the charge pressure setting.
Charge Pressure
An internal charge relief valve regulates charge pressure. Charge pressure supplies the control with
pressure to operate the swashplate and to maintain 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 30 l/min
[7.93 US gal/min] and a fluid viscosity of 32 mm²/s [150 SUS].
The charge pressure setting is referenced to case pressure. Charge pressure is the differential pressure
above case pressure.
Minimum charge pressure is the lowest pressure allowed to maintain a safe working condition in the
low side of the loop. Minimum control pressure requirements are a function of speed, pressure, and
swashplate angle, and may be higher than the minimum charge pressure shown in the Operating
parameters tables.
Maximum charge pressure is the highest charge pressure allowed by the charge relief adjustment, and
which provides normal component life. Elevated charge pressure can be used as a secondary means to
reduce the swashplate response time.
At normal operating temperature charge inlet pressure must not fall below rated charge inlet pressure(vacuum).
Minimum charge pump 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.
Maximum charge pump inlet pressure may be applied continuously.
pressure.
Case Pressure
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.
Auxiliary Pad Mounted Pumps. The auxiliary pad cavity of S90 pumps configured without integral
charge pumps is referenced to case pressure. Units with integral charge pumps have auxiliary mounting
pad cavities referenced to charge inlet (vacuum).
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.
In certain applications the input shaft seal may be exposed to external pressure. In order to prevent
damage to the shaft seal the maximum differential pressure from external sources must not exceed 0.4
bar (5.8 psi) over pump case pressure. The case pressure limits of the pump must also be followed to
ensure the shaft seal is not damaged.
Regardless of the differential pressure across the shaft seal, the shaft seal has been known to pump oil
from the external source (e. g. gear box) into the pump case.
Temperature and Viscosity
Temperature
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 quoted rated temperature.
The maximum intermittent temperature is based on material properties and should never be
exceeded.
Cold oil will generally 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.
Caution
Viscosity
For maximum efficiency and bearing life, ensure the fluid viscosity remains in the recommended range.
The minimum viscosity should be encountered only during brief occasions of maximum ambient
temperature and severe duty cycle operation.
The maximum viscosity should be encountered only at cold start.
To prevent premature wear, ensure 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 can not be applied for hydraulic fluid residing in the component housing/case or
any other cavity after transport.
The filter may be located on the pump (integral) or in another location (remote).
The integral filter has a filter bypass sensor to signal the machine operator when the filter requires
changing. 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 ratio¹ (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
some open circuit systems, and closed circuits with cylinders being supplied from the same reservoir, a
considerably 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
75 (β10 ≥ 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.

Filter βx-ratio is a measure of filter efficiency defined by ISO 4572. It is defined as the ratio of the number
of particles greater than a given diameter (“x” in microns) upstream of the filter to the number of these
particles downstream of the filter.

Filtration Options
Suction filtration - Option S
Suction filtration is the only option available for concrete pumps.
The suction filter is placed in the circuit between the reservoir and the inlet to the charge pump, as
shown below.
The use of a filter contamination monitor is recommended.
Clogged filters can cause cavitation, which damages the charge pump. We recommend a filter bypass
with a filter bypass sensor to prevent damage due to blocked suction filters.
Two types of pressure filtration exist for most Series 90 pumps. The two types are: remote pressure
filtration (filter remotely mounted on vehicle) and integral pressure filtration (filter mounted to the
endcap). Verify option availability in the size specific technical information.
In either case the filtration circuit is the same with the filter element situated in the circuit downstream
the charge pump and upstream of the charge relief valve such that full charge flow is continuously
filtered, as shown in the accompanying illustrations. Charge pressure filtration can mitigate high inlet
vacuum in cold start-ups and provides fluid filtration immediately prior to entrance to the loop and the
control system. Pressure filtration provides a higher level of filtering efficiency than suction filtration.
Filters used in charge pressure filtration circuits must be rated to at least 35 bar [508 psi] pressure. A 100 –
125 μm screen located in the reservoir or in the charge inlet line is recommended when using charge
pressure filtration.

Remote charge pressure filtration
A special adapter head is available to allow for the charge filter to be located conveniently for easy
service and replacement. Care should be taken to minimize the hydraulic pressure drops associated with
long connecting lines, small diameter hoses, or restrictive port adaptors at the filter head or endcap.
Ensure the normal operating pressure drop across the remote filtration in and out ports is sufficiently
below the crack pressure setting of the recommended filter bypass valve.

Warning
Remote filter heads without bypass and poor plumbing design can encounter excessive pressure drops
