Variable vane pumps - Racine style

Racine style variable displacement hydraulic vane pumps

Racine PSV and PVS pumps for industrial hydraulic systems

Racine style variable displacement hydraulic vane pumps are designed for industrial hydraulic systems that need a flow supply adapted to the machine. Unlike a fixed displacement pump, a variable displacement pump can adjust the delivered flow according to operating conditions and the control system used.

Technical Union (TU) offers Racine style vane pumps for industrial applications, maintenance, repair, and replacement of existing pumps. These pumps are an option for companies that need to identify a pump by its model, part number, size, or hydraulic configuration.

Industrial applications of Racine vane pumps

Racine style variable displacement vane pumps are used in industrial hydraulic systems where flow and pressure must be controlled during different stages of the work cycle.

Applications include:

  • Hydraulic presses: flow control during the approach, pressing, and return stages.
  • Plastic injection molding machines: hydraulic flow for machine movements, mold closing, and auxiliary mechanisms, depending on the system design.
  • Machine tools: drive for hydraulic clamping, positioning, and motion systems.
  • Metal fabrication equipment: supply for hydraulic circuits in forming, stamping, and industrial processing machines.
  • Automated industrial machines: supply for hydraulic circuits that need different flows for each operation.
  • Hydraulic clamping and fixturing equipment: drive for cylinders and clamping mechanisms used on production lines.
  • Centralized hydraulic systems: hydraulic power for several functions in an industrial installation.

The right selection depends on working pressure, required flow, drive speed, control type, and the hydraulic circuit.

Racine PSV and PVS pumps: models and sizes

For anyone looking for a Racine variable displacement vane pump, identifying the series and size is essential to find the right replacement.

The Racine style variable volume pump line includes references in the PSV and PVS series, in these sizes:

  • PSV 10 and PSV 15
  • PSV 20 and PSV 25
  • PSV 40
  • PSV 80
  • PSV 100

Availability of controls, configurations, and capacities depends on the specific model. In the PSV series, for example, there are pressure compensation, flow control with load sensing, two-pressure control, and other regulation options.

When requesting a quote, provide the complete model and the pump identification code. In these series, the letters and numbers can identify the size, control type, direction of rotation, mounting, shaft, and other manufacturing features.

Replacement of Racine style hydraulic pumps

When an existing pump shows wear, loss of flow, or pressure problems, or needs to be replaced during scheduled maintenance, identifying the original reference correctly helps reduce selection errors.

Technical Union can help identify Racine style variable displacement vane pump replacements from the technical information available.

To check compatibility, it helps to provide:

  • Brand and model of the existing pump.
  • Complete part number or configuration code.
  • Pump size or nominal capacity.
  • Required operating pressure and flow.
  • Direction of rotation and shaft type.
  • Mounting type and hydraulic connections.
  • Installed pressure or flow control type.

Not every pump in the same series is directly interchangeable. Dimensions, connections, operating specifications, and the control system must be confirmed before a replacement is installed.
