Section II – Description

A. General
The double intra-vane pump with a 282/283 suffix is
designed to operate at reduced noise levels, but still
maintain the same reliability, operating characteristics and
service advantages of previous models.

All sound reduction in the 282/283 series pump is

accomplished within the cartridge kit. The ring, vanes, rotor
and plate have been redesigned. The pump housing remains
unchanged, thus, existing systems may be upgraded by
simply replacing the cartridge kit. Figure 1 shows the basic
282/283 cartridge kit. Note that 12 vanes are assembled into
the machined rotor slots. Previous designed models use 10
vanes. Figure 1. -282/-283 basic cartridge kit parts

Section III – Principles of Operation

design (Figure 2). Outlet pressure is constantly applied to

Section IV – Installation and Operating Instructions
A. Installation Drawings
The installation drawings listed in Table 1 show operating
characteristics, installation dimensions and port locations.
B. Mounting and Drive Connections
CAUTION
Pump shafts are designed to be installed in
couplings with a slip fit. Pounding can injure the
bearings. Shaft tolerances are shown on the
installation drawing (Table 1).
1. Direct Mounting – A pilot on the pump mounting
flange (Figure 3) assures correct mounting and shaft
alignment. Make sure the pilot is firmly seated in the
accessory pad of the power source. Care should be
exercised in tightening the mounting screws to prevent
misalignment.
2. Indirect drive is not recommended for these pumps
without Vickers engineering approval.
Flange
Pilot
Figure 3. Mounting flange and pilot
C. Shaft Rotation
Pumps are assembled for either right hand (clockwise) or left
hand (counterclockwise) shaft rotation as viewed from the
shaft end.
CAUTION
Never drive a pump in the wrong direction of
rotation. Seizure will result, necessitating
expensive repairs.
D. Piping and Tubing
1. All pipes and tubing must be thoroughly cleaned
before installation. Recommended methods of cleaning are
sand blasting, wire brushing, pickling and power flushing
with clean solvent to remove loose particles.
NOTE
For information on pickling, refer to instruction
sheet 1221-S.
2. To minimize flow resistance and the possibility of
leakage, only as many fittings and connections as are
necessary for proper installation should be used.
3. The number of bends in tubing should be kept to a
minimum to prevent excessive turbulence and friction of oil
flow. Tubing must not be bent too sharply. The
recommended minimum radius for bends is three times the
inside diameter of the tube.
E. Hydraulic Fluid Recommendations
General Data
Fluid in a hydraulic system performs the dual function of
lubrication and transmission of power. It constitutes a vital
factor in a hydraulic system and careful selection of it should
be made with the assistance of a reputable supplier. Proper
selection of fluid assures satisfactory life and operation of
system components with particular emphasis on hydraulic
pumps. Any fluid selected for use with pumps is acceptable
for use with valves or motors.
Data sheet I-286 for fluid selection is available from Vickers
Technical Publications, Troy, Michigan 48084.
Fluid recommendations noted in the data sheet are based on
our experience in industry as a hydraulic component
manufacturer. Where special considerations indicate a need
to depart from the recommended fluids or operating
conditions, see your Vickers sales engineer.
Cleanliness
Thorough precautions should always be observed to insure
that hydraulic system is clean.
1. Clean (flush) entire new system to remove paint,
metal chips, welding shot, etc.
2. Filter each change of fluid to prevent introduction of
contaminants into the system.
3. Provide continuous filtration of fluid to remove sludge
and products of wear and corrosion generated during the life
of the system.
4. Provide continuous protection of system from entry of
airborne contamination by sealing the system and/or by
proper filtration of the air.
5. During usage, proper fluid filling and servicing of
filters, breathers, reservoirs, etc., cannot be over
emphasized.
6. Thorough precautions should be taken by proper
system and reservoir design to insure that aeration of the
fluid will be kept to a minimum.
5
F. Sound Levels
Although system noise levels can be reduced by modifying
pump design, fluid conditions also play a major part in
reducing system noise levels.
Some of the major factors affecting the fluid conditions that
cause the loudest noises in a hydraulic system are:
1. Very high viscosities at low start-up temperatures can
cause pump noise due to cavitation.
2. Running with a moderately high viscosity fluid will
impede the release of entrained air. The fluid will not be
completely purged of such air in the time it remains in the
reservoir before recycling through the system.
3. Aerated fluid can be caused by ingestion of air
through the pipe joints of inlet lines, high velocity discharge
lines, cylinder rod packings or by fluid discharging above the
fluid level in the reservoir. Air in the fluid causes a noise
similar to cavitation.
Section V – Service and Maintenance
A. Circuit Inspection
Periodic inspection of the fluid condition and tube or pipe line
connections can save time-consuming breakdowns and
unnecessary parts replacement. the following should be
checked regularly:
1. All hydraulic connections must be kept tight. A loose
connection in a pressure line will permit the fluid to leak out.
If the fluid level becomes so low as to uncover the inlet pipe
opening in the reservoir, extensive damage to the pump can
result. In suction or return lines, loose connections permit air
to be drawn into the system resulting in noisy and/or erratic
operation.
2. Clean fluid is the best insurance for long service life.
Therefore, the reservoir should be checked periodically for
dirt or other contaminants. If the fluid becomes contami-
nated, the system should be drained and the reservoir
cleaned before new fluid is added.
3. Filter elements also should be checked and replaced
periodically. A clogged filter element results in a higher
pressure drop. This can force particles through the filter
which would ordinarily be trapped, or can cause the by-pass
to open, resulting in a partial or complete loss of filtration.
4. Air bubbles in the reservoir can ruin the pump and
other components. If bubbles are seen, locate the source of
the air and seal the leak.
5. A pump which is running excessively hot or noisy is a
potential failure. Should a pump become noisy or over-
heated, the machine should be shut down immediately and
the cause of improper operation corrected.
6
G. Overload Protection
Relief valve limit pressure in the system to a prescribed
maximum and protect components from excessive pressure.
The setting of the relief valve depends on the work
requirements of the system.
H. Start-Up
With a minimum drive speed of 600 RPM, a pump should
prime almost immediately if provision is made to initially
purge the air from the system.
Failure to prime within a reasonable time may result in
damage due to lack of lubrication. The pump housing must
be filled with fluid and inlet lines must be tight and free from
air leaks. It may be necessary to crack a fitting on the outlet
side of the pump to purge air trapped in the system.
B. Adding Fluid to the System
When hydraulic fluid is added to replenish the system, it
should always be poured through a clean wire screen (200
mesh or finer) or preferably pumped through a 10 micron
(absolute) filter.
It is important that the fluid be clean and free of any sub-
stance which could cause improper operation or wear of the
pump or other hydraulic units. Therefore, the use of cloth to
strain the fluid should be avoided to prevent lint getting into
the system.
C. Adjustments
No periodic adjustments are required, other than to maintain
proper shaft alignment with the driving medium.
D. Lubrication
Internal lubrication is provided by the fluid in the system.
Lubrication of the shaft coupling should be as specified by
their manufacturers. Coat shaft splines with a dry lubricant
(Molycoat or equivalent) to prevent wear.
E. Replacement Parts
Reliable operation throughout the specified operating range
is assured only if genuine Vickers parts are used. Sophisti-
cated design processes and material are used in the
manufacture of our parts.
Substitutes may result in early failure. Part numbers are Sealing Ring

operation and apply force to the inner race area.
4. Check the keyway end of shaft to make certain it is
free from nicks and burrs. A small nick or burr can damage
the shaft seal during installation. Coat the keyway portion of
the shaft with hydraulic fluid. Carefully install the shaft group
(items 32 through 34) through the seal and into body (38).
Spread spirolox ring (31) and feed it into the groove located
behind the bearing. This will secure the shaft group within
body (38).

6. If cartridge kit (20) is replaced with a new kit, install
the kit into body (38). If cartridge kit requires assembly,
assemble in reverse order of disassembly (Figure 8). During
assembly, note the following precautions.
a. Make sure the arrows on rotor (28) and ring (27)
are in the direction of pump rotation.
b. Make certain that sharp edges of vanes (29) lead
in the direction of rotation (Figure 7).

Section VII – Start-Up and Test

A. Start-Up
Install the unit into the system. Make sure that the drive shaft
is aligned properly, all connections are tight and the hydraulic
oil source is open to pump inlet. If an overhead reservoir is
used, purge air from inlet line.
The pump should prime almost immediately with a minimum
drive speed of 600 RPM. Intermittently operate (jog) the
pump until it primes. It may be necessary to loosen the outlet
fitting temporarily to purge trapped air. Failure of the pump to
prime in a short period of time indicates incorrect assembly
or restricted flow from the reservoir.
B. Test
Use your hydraulic system to test the unit. Refer to the
installation drawings listed in Table 1 for recommended
speeds and pressures. If more precise testing is desired,
consult your Vickers sales engineering office.
