Q

A bent axis, variable stroke, axial piston pump produces a greater capacity than a comparable tilting box-type axial piston pump, because the __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• pump capacity relationship to stroke volume and speed • how bent axis vs tilting box (swash plate) designs change piston travel • what actually determines the displacement per revolution in an axial piston pump

💭 Think About

• Which design feature would directly increase the volume of fluid moved per revolution: piston diameter, piston travel (stroke), speed, or line arrangement? • Between a bent axis and a tilting box pump of similar size and speed, what geometric difference could cause the pistons to move farther each revolution? • Does changing discharge/return line diameter alter the designed displacement of the pump, or mainly affect flow resistance and pressure drop?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which factor directly affects pump displacement (in³/rev or cm³/rev): piston area × stroke length. • Compare how piston stroke is created in a bent axis pump versus a tilting box pump of the same overall dimensions. • Confirm that line size and RPM can change actual flow rate, but do they change the pump’s built-in displacement capacity per revolution?
