General instructions
Follow the general procedures below when repairing TMM constant displacement closed circuit motors:
Remove the unit
Prior to performing major repairs, remove the unit from the vehicle/machine. Chock the wheels on
the vehicle or lock the mechanism to inhibit movement. Be aware that hydraulic fluid may be under high
pressure and/or hot. Inspect the outside of the pump and fittings for damage. Cap hoses and plug ports
after removal to prevent contamination.
Cleanliness is a primary means of assuring satisfactory motor life on both new and repaired units.
Clean the outside of the motor thoroughly before disassembly. Take care to avoid contamination of the
system ports. Cleaning parts by using a clean solvent wash and air drying is usually adequate. As with any
precision equipment, you must keep all parts free of foreign material and chemicals. Protect all exposed
sealing surfaces and open cavities from damage and foreign material. If left unattended, cover the pump
with a protective layer of plastic.
Replace all O-rings and gaskets
We recommend you replace all O-rings and seals during service. Lightly lubricate O-rings with clean
petroleum jelly prior to assembly.
Secure the unit
For repair, place the unit in a stable position with the shaft pointing downward. It will be necessary to
secure the motor while removing and torquing fasteners and components.
Safety precautions
Always consider safety precautions before beginning a service procedure. Take the following general
precautions whenever servicing a hydraulic system:
Warning
Unintended machine movement
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.
Warning
Flammable cleaning solvents
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.
Warning
Fluid under pressure
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.
Warning
Personal safety
Protect yourself from injury. Use proper safety equipment including safety glasses at all times.

Design
Danfoss TMP closed circuit piston pumps convert input torque into hydraulic power. The input shaft
transmits rotational force to the cylinder block. Bearings at the front and rear of the pump support the
shaft. Splines connect the shaft to the cylinder block. 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 block springs, ball guide,
and slipper retainer hold the slippers to the swashplate. The reciprocating movement of the pistons
occurs as the slippers slide against the inclined swashplate during rotation. Via the valve plate, one half of
the cylinder block is connected to low pressure and the other half to high pressure. As each piston cycles
in and out of its bore, fluid is replenished by charge flow and displaced to the outlet thereby imparting
hydraulic power into the system. A small amount of fluid is allowed to flow 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 and direction of fluid displaced into the system. The
servo piston controls the angle of the swashplate. The pump control, by varying the pressure at the servo
piston, controls the piston's position. An electric signal to the control coils or mechanical signal to the
control transmits the command from the operator to the pump. Mechanical feedback of the swashplate
position to the control through the feedback pins allows for very precise displacement control and
increases overall system stability.

System circuit
Basic Closed Circuit
Hydraulic lines connect the main ports of the pump to the main ports of the motor. Fluid flows in either
direction from the pump to the motor and back. Either of the hydraulic lines can be under high pressure.
In pumping mode the position of the pump swashplate determines which line is high pressure as well as
the direction of fluid flow.
Case drain and heat exchanger
The pump and motor require case drain lines to remove hot fluid from the system. The pump and motor
drain from the topmost port to ensure the cases remain full of fluid. The motor case drain can connect to

High pressure relief valve (HPRV) and charge check valve
The TMP pumps are equipped with a combination high pressure relief and charge check valve. The highpressure relief function is a dissipative 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.
HPRVs are set at low flow condition. Any application or operating condition which leads to elevated HPRV
flow will cause a pressure rise with flow above the valve setting. Consult factory for application.

Operation
Charge pressure relief valve (CPRV)
The charge pressure relief valve maintains charge
pressure at a designated level above case pressure.
The charge pressure relief valve is a direct acting poppet
valve which opens and discharges fluid to the pump case
when pressure exceeds a designated level. Standard level
setting is ∆p = 21 ± 1.1 bar [304 ± 16 psi] with the pump
running at 1500 min-1 (rpm) and flow = 23.8 - 29.5 l/min
[ 6.3 - 7.8 US gal/min].
Typical charge pressure increase is 2 bar per 10 l/min [29
psi per 2.64 US gal/min].
Electrical Displacement Control (EDC)
EDC Principle
The Electrical Displacement Control (EDC) consists of proportional solenoids on each side of a threeposition, four-way porting spool. The proportional solenoid applies a force to the spool, which ports
hydraulic fluid to either side of the 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.
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 dead-band as a result of the control spool porting, spring preload
from the servo piston assembly, and the linear control spring. Once the neutral threshold current is
reached, the swashplate position becomes directly proportional to the control current. To minimize the
effect of the control neutral deadband, we recommended the transmission controller or operator input
device incorporate a jump up current.
Charge pressure relief valve (CPRV)
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 automatically returns the pump to neutral position.
The 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 Manual Displacement Control (MDC) consists of a lever with eccentric shaft centre of a threeposition, four-way porting spool. The eccentric shaft 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 swash plate, changing the pump`s displacement
from full displacement in one direction to full displacement in the opposite direction.

Operation
Manual Over Ride (MOR)
All controls are available with a Manual Over Ride (MOR)
either standard or as an option for temporary actuation of
MOR
the control to aid in diagnostics.
The vehicle or device must always be in a ‘safe’ condition
(i.e. vehicle lifted off the ground) when using the MOR
function.
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.
The MOR should be engaged anticipating a full stroke
response from the pump.
Warning
An O-Ring seal is used to seal the MOR plunger where initial actuation of the function will require a force
of 45 N to engage the plunger. Additional actuations typically require a threshold force of 12 N to move
the MOR plunger. Force required to keep the pump at full stroke is typically 51 N. Proportional control of
the pump using the MOR should not be expected.
Refer to control flow table for the relationship of solenoid to direction of flow.
This section defines the operating parameters and limitations for TMP 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 generally yields 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.
When determining speed limits for a particular application see Danfoss publication Pressure and speedlimits.
Warning
System Pressure
Charge Pressure
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 is the differential pressure between system ports A & 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 speed and normal operating—or weighted average—
pressure that you can only determine from a duty cycle analysis.
Applied pressure is the chosen application pressure in the order code for the pump. This is the pressure
at which the drive line generates maximum pull or torque in the application.
Rated pressure is the design pressure for the pump. Applications with applied pressures at or below this
pressure should yield satisfactory unit life given proper component selection.
Maximum pressure (peak) is the highest intermittent pressure allowed under any circumstances.
Applications with applied pressures between rated and maximum require factory approval with
complete application, duty cycle, and life expectancy analysis.
All pressure limits are differential pressures referenced to low loop (charge) pressure. Subtract low loop
pressure from gauge readings to compute the differential.
An internal charge relief valve regulates charge pressure. The internal charge pump supplies the control
with pressure to operate the swashplate and to maintain a minimum pressure in the low side of the
transmission loop.
Minimum charge pressure is the lowest pressure safe working conditions allow in the system 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 technical specifications.
Maximum charge pressure is the highest charge pressure the charge relief adjustment allows, and
which provides normal component life. You can use elevated charge pressure as a secondary means to
reduce the swashplate response time.
