Product data sheetAreas of application
Voith's hydraulic internal gear pumps are versatile and efficient, making them suitable for a wide range of industries and applications. Below, you'll find key areas where these pumps can be effectively utilized to enhance performance and reliability.
Variable speed pumps
Variable speed pumps
Variable speed pumps in their simplest version are frequency-controlled. They consist of three main components:
- Variable frequency drive (VFD)
- Asynchronous motor
- Voith internal gear pump
Using a variable speed pump system is extremely simple. You provide us with all the machine or system cycle data. We then use this information to determine the necessary pressures and volume flows, and design the pump systems. The final pump solution you receive is a complete solution, as it is customized, ready to run, and all from a single source.
Servo pumps
Servo pumps
For hydraulic systems that place high demands on control engineering, servo pumps are the perfect solution. The basic version of these pump systems also consists of three main components:
- Servo inverter
- Synchronous servo motor
- Voith internal gear pump
Servo pumps control the pressure or the volume flow. They precisely convert electrical energy into the hydraulic energy that is currently needed in the system. The classic use of valves for control can be either completely or partially omitted. This considerably simplifies every hydraulic system.
Total cost of ownership (TCO)
Conventional hydraulic systems usually have constant volume flows. As a result, these systems have virtually constant energy consumption. Using servo pumps makes it possible to vary the volume flows in hydraulic systems. In the part load range and outside the machine cycle, the servo pumps operate at lower speeds or stop altogether. Servo pumps reduce the energy consumption by up to 70 percent. Using servo pumps can reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) for the hydraulic system by up to 35 percent. Systems with variable speed servo pumps are amortized in a short timeframe – in most cases, within 1 to 2 years.

Comparison of plastics injection molding machines with different hydraulic systems
Cycle of a plastics injection molding machine:
| Pump: | Fixed displacement pump |
| Drive motor: | Constant speed asynchronous motor |
| Control modes: | Using classic valves only |
| Energy consumption: | 100 percent |
| Pump: | Variable displacement pump |
| Drive motor: | Constant speed asynchronous motor |
| Control modes: | Partial use of classic valves |
| Energy consumption: | 70 percent |
| Pump: | Voith servo pump |
| Drive motor: | Variable speed synchronous servo motor |
| Control modes: | Partial or total servo pump control |
| Energy consumption: | 30 percent |
Drives
Based on multiple criteria, a drive with Voith servo pumps is better than other drive types. Injection molding machines using Voith servo-pump drives feature low total cost of ownership (TCO), reliable processes and high productivity.
