Product Description

The AP12 Hydraulic Charge Pump is a high-performance, compact gear-type charge pump designed as a dedicated auxiliary component for hydraulic systems, widely compatible with CAT excavators (e.g., E320B, E200B) and other construction machinery. It functions primarily to supply stable pilot pressure and supplement oil to the main hydraulic pump, ensuring system lubrication, pressure maintenance, and smooth operation under heavy-duty conditions.
Stable and Reliable Charging PerformanceThe AP12 charge pump adopts precision gear transmission structure, which can output continuous and stable charging flow and pilot pressure during operation. It effectively supplements oil for the main hydraulic pump, eliminates system pressure fluctuation, prevents cavitation phenomenon, and ensures the continuous and stable operation of the entire hydraulic system under heavy-load and long-time working conditions.
Excellent Wear Resistance and Long Service LifeThe pump body is made of high-strength cast iron, and the internal gears and shaft parts are processed with high-precision finishing and heat treatment technology. The overall structure features high rigidity, strong impact resistance and outstanding wear resistance. It can adapt to harsh construction working environments with dust, high load and frequent startup, greatly reducing component failure rate and extending the service life of hydraulic equipment.
The AP12 charge pump hydraulic circuit is a vital auxiliary system designed to provide a stable low-pressure oil supply for the main hydraulic pump. Its primary function is to maintain proper inlet pressure, support lubrication of internal components, and ensure effective cooling, thereby enhancing the reliability and efficiency of the hydraulic system.
Specifically engineered for AP12 series systems, this circuit ensures the main pump operates smoothly under both normal and heavy-duty conditions, preventing cavitation and oil starvation.

Charge pumps are typically packaged securely to prevent damage during transit. The packaging includes:
Protective Wrapping: To safeguard the pump from environmental damage.
Custom Crates: For larger, heavier pumps, ensuring safe handling.
Documentation: Includes installation, maintenance instructions, and warranty details.
Delivery time depends on the model, customizations, and location but typically ranges from 2 to 6 weeks from the order date.
No, it is integrated with the main pump and does not require separate installation. When replacing, ensure that the spline shaft is accurately aligned with the main pump drive shaft, tighten the fixing screws with a torque wrench, keep the contact surface flat and free of impurities, and use a seal ring of the correct size to ensure sealing performance.
2.What preparations are needed before starting the AP12 Charge Pump for the first time?
Manually fill the charge pump with clean hydraulic oil through the drain port to empty the internal air and avoid dry running damage. Jog start several times to confirm that the rotation direction is clockwise (when viewed from the shaft end), and there is no abnormal sound or oil leakage before formal operation. In addition, manually turn the main shaft to check the self-priming condition of the charge pump.
3.What are the requirements for hydraulic oil when using the AP12 Charge Pump?
The cleanliness of hydraulic oil must meet the ISO 18/15 standard, and the oil temperature should be kept between 15–65℃. It is recommended to regularly replace hydraulic oil and filters; under harsh working conditions such as mines and high dust, the replacement cycle should be shortened to avoid component wear caused by oil pollution.
4. Can the rotation direction of the AP12 Charge Pump be reversed? What are the consequences of reverse rotation?
Reverse rotation of the AP12 charge pump is strictly forbidden. Running in opposite direction will cut off normal oil delivery, bring about pressure drop and severe cavitation inside the pump. It will also aggravate internal parts abrasion, affect hydraulic control response and finally cause permanent damage to the pump and related system components.
5. Is the AP12 Charge Pump a dedicated accessory? Can it work normally without it?
6.Can the displacement of the AP12 Charge Pump be replaced arbitrarily?
The displacement of the AP12 charge pump cannot be replaced at will. It has to adopt the exact specification matching the original equipment. Improper displacement will disrupt hydraulic pressure balance, result in inadequate oil supply and poor lubrication, and bring malfunctions and irreversible damage to the whole hydraulic system.
AP12 Charge pumps are manufactured in compliance with international standards, ensuring high performance and reliability:
ISO 9001: Certified for quality management systems.
CE Certification: Ensures compliance with European safety, health, and environmental protection standards.
RoHS Compliance: Ensures the pump does not contain hazardous materials.
Factory Testing: Every pump is rigorously tested for performance, pressure, and leak integrity before shipping.

The pump's flow is adjusted by changing the angle of an internal swash plate. As the swash plate angle changes, the stroke length of the pistons varies, which in turn changes the volume of fluid displaced per rotation, allowing the flow rate to adapt to the system's needs.
