INTEGRATED PUMP/MOTOR FLUID TRANSFER UNITS:

This integrated pump/motor fluid transfer unit was custom-designed as a space-saving option and a cost reduction for an OEM customer. The requirement was to have the same functionality as the larger design it would replace, while also offering a substantial price improvement. It features a specially designed bi-directional cartridge vane pump within a cavity in the manifold block. Powered by a custom-designed 12-volt DC motor, it is used to transfer fluids into and out of vehicles.

Tuson worked closely with the OEM’s engineers during the design and development of this system. There were several challenges during the project that needed to be addressed to achieve the design goals. These included modifying the internal relief valve to achieve desired characteristics, and optimizing the motor performance to fulfill a variety of operating conditions and scenarios.

A custom test stand was built by Tuson and used for the development and testing of the system. It duplicated the variety of operating conditions the units would be expected to encounter in their actual end-use applications. This customized testing arrangement proved to be an essential element in the design and development of the system.

Overall, this project is an excellent example of Tuson’s capabilities in working with OEMs on the design, development, and production of custom integrated fluid power systems. Can we help you with yours?
