Multiple gear pumps  
Gear pumps are well-suited to multiple arrangements, with  
the drive shaft of the first pump stage is extended to a  
second and possibly third pump stage. The shafts for each  
pump section are typically connected via a driver.  
The individual pump stages are usually hydraulically  
isolated and have separate suction ports. A joint suction  
port or separate suction ports that are hydraulically  
connected is available on request.  
Standard through drive (tang drive coupling)  
For Platform B pumps, the driver for the next pump stage  
can support loads up to Mmax = 25 Nm. This may result in  
pressure limitations for subsequent pump stages.  
Subsequent pumps of a smaller series determine the max.  
transmissible torque.

For the configuration of multiple pumps, Bosch Rexroth  
recommends arranging the pump stage with the largest  
displacement on the drive side.

▶ Attention: The parameters of each pump generally  
apply, however certain restrictions need to be obser-  
ved:  
▶ Max. rotational speed: This is determined by the  
largest pump stage used.  
▶ Pressures: These are limited by the max. transmissible  
torques from drive shaft, through drive and driver.  
Compounding of drive torques  
With multiple pumps, note that the drive torques of the  
subsequent stages compound according to the following  
formula:  
Δp1; Vg1  
Δp2; Vg2  
Δp3; Vg3

Δp1 × Vg1 + Δp2 × Vg2 + Δp3 × Vg3

This may result in pressure limitations in each pump stage.
