Roquet hydraulic pump repair
The Roquet hydraulic pump in backhoe loaders is usually of the gear or piston type, with a nominal flow rate of 60 to 120 liters per minute and a working pressure of 250 to 320 bar. These pumps are made of wear-resistant steel alloys and cast iron housings, which enhance service life and minimize deformation under cyclic loads. The internal design includes hardened gears or precisely machined pistons, assembled with tolerances of less than 5 microns.
In terms of mechanical performance, the Roquet pump can deliver stable power to the boom and bucket cylinders, achieving a volumetric efficiency above 92 percent. Ball bearings with a hardness of 60 HRC and seals made of NBR O-rings resistant to temperatures up to 120°C are used. Vibration levels under full load remain below 1.5 mm/s, reflecting the precision of the pump’s engineering.
Maintenance of Roquet hydraulic pumps in backhoe loaders involves checking gear or piston wear, controlling internal leakage, and replacing worn O-rings. If output flow decreases to less than 80 percent of the rated capacity, a 280-bar pressure test is required to determine efficiency loss. To extend pump life, it is recommended to replace the hydraulic filter every 2000 working hours and use standard ISO VG 46 oil. Employing original Roquet s
