Bosch Rexroth AZPF gear hydraulic pumps with delivery within 72 hours
Hydraulic pump failure is one of the most common and costly problems encountered by operators of mobile machinery, agricultural equipment, construction plant, and industrial lines. Every hour of downtime means direct financial losses – with a standard OEM solution, you wait 1 to 4 weeks for a spare part. Original Equipment Manufacturer.)
TBH Technik offers a solution – a complete system for configuring, assembling, and delivering AZPF gear pumps directly from stock components. The result: Functional, custom-built hydraulic pump within 72 hours of your order.
Why do tractor and machinery hydraulic pumps fail?
Operators mobile equipment hydraulic systems faces several typical scenarios where they require prompt professional assistance:
- Unplanned failure of the gear pump (cavitation, wear, contaminated hydraulic oil)
- Long delivery times for original OEM parts – typically 1 to 4 weeks, or even months for less common types
- The need for replacement of a hydraulic pump from another manufacturer during modernisation, retrofit or repair without available OEM parts
- Specific configuration requirements – shaft type (SAE, DIN, tapered), flange, direction of rotation, sealing
- Tandem or triple pumps not stocked by the standard distributor
The consequences are always the same: production downtime or seasonal work stoppages, financial losses, and pressure on the service team. It is precisely for these situations that it was designed CKD programme from TBH Technik.
“The company's cost for hydraulic failure can range from 200 to 5000 euros per hour, which can cause potential losses of tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of euros for downtime and waiting for an original spare part.”
CKD Programme: Rapid Assembly of AZPF Hydraulic Pump
CKD (Completely Knocked Down) is a system where TBH Technik does not store completed pumps, but rather maintains all necessary components in stock, AZPF series – and will assemble precisely the variant of Bosch Rexroth gear pump that the customer needs. Thanks to this, Delivery time maximum 72 hours instead of weeks of waiting for the OEM.
Procedure – from fault to functional hydraulic pump:
| Step | Phase | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Contact and analysis | The customer will provide the parameters of the original pump: geometric volume, working pressure, flange type, shaft type and size, direction of rotation, seal type. The manufacturing number or a photograph of the old pump is also sufficient. |
| 2 | Identification and configuration | TBH Technik's hydraulic specialists identify the original model and configure an equivalent or more powerful AZPF variant from stock components. |
| 3 | Assembly from stock components | The pump is physically assembled and checked directly at TBH Technik – without waiting for the OEM manufacturer or an external supplier. |
| 4 | Testing and Marking | Every pump from the CKD programme undergoes output testing and is marked with a TBH Technik production number for full traceability. |
| 5 | Delivery within 72 hours | The fully functional AZPF pump is delivered directly to the customer's site – including the option of express delivery for critical failures. |
Bosch Rexroth AZPF Gear Pumps – Technical Basis of the CKD Programme
The core of the CKD programme is the modular family of Bosch Rexroth AZPF gear pumps. The AZPF series is designed for demanding applications in both mobile and industrial hydraulics and offers exceptional configuration variability – from compact single-stage pumps for tractor control to powerful triple pumps for heavy construction machinery.
The AZPF series covers the following key parameters:
- Volume range: 4 – 22.5 cm³/ot
- Maximum working Pressure: up to 250 bar
- Various variants:
- Shafts (tapered, splined, SAE, DIN)
- Flanges (SAE, European standards)
- Seals: NBR (standard oil environment) and FKM (chemically aggressive media, bio-oils)
- Rotation direction: left/right – when viewed from the drive shaft
- Option tandem and triple pumps
Combination options – why AZPF is the most flexible solution on the market
One of the key advantages of the AZPF series and the TBH Technik CKD programme is exceptional breadth of configuration options. Each pump consists of several independently selectable modules – and it is this modularity that allows TBH Technik to assemble the precise equivalent of practically any gear pump in the market.
1. Number of stages – single-stage, two-stage, and three-stage pumps
The AZPF series offers three basic configurations in terms of the number of stages:
- Single-stage pump – single geometric volume, ideal for simple hydraulic circuits (control, stabilisers, simple drives)
- Two-stage (tandem) pump – two independent volumes in one housing, driven by a single shaft. Standard solution for tractors with multiple hydraulic circuits (steering + working implement)
- Three-stage pump – three geometric volumes, driven by a single shaft. For demanding mobile machines with multiple simultaneous hydraulic functions (excavators, municipal machinery, special tractors).
Each stage of a tandem or triple-stage pump can have a different displacement, allowing for precise flow matching for each individual hydraulic circuit.
2. Drive shaft – 4 variants for all standards
Selecting the correct drive shaft is key for a direct replacement without any mechanical modifications to the machine. TBH Technik offers the following variants as part of the CKD programme:
| Code | Shaft type | Typical application |
|---|---|---|
| C | Taper shaft 1:5 | Tractors, agricultural machinery, PTO drives |
| N | Shaft for a drive | Industrial drives with direct motor coupling |
| F | Splined DIN 5482 B17x14 | European industrial applications, hydraulic blocks |
| R | Splined SAE J744 16-4 9T | Mobile technology according to American standards, construction machinery |
Thanks to this wide range of variants, TBH Technik can replace virtually any hydraulic pump without needing to modify the adapter or drive shaft.
3. Front cover and flange – SAE and European standards
The front pump cover determines the connection method to the drive unit and must precisely match the existing flange on the machine. AZPF offers 8 variants:
| Code | Front cover/flange type | Typical application |
|---|---|---|
| B | Rectangular Ø80 mm / 100×72 | Standard European flange, industrial machinery |
| O | Rectangular Ø36.47 mm | Compact applications, small hydraulic blocks |
| R | SAE J744 82–2 (A) / Ø82.55 mm | Mobile equipment SAE standard, American machinery |
| P | 2 openings Ø50 mm, Variant P | Specific industrial applications of variant P |
| T | 4 holes Ø52 mm, O-ring | High-pressure industrial applications |
The combination of SAE and European (DIN) standards in a single product series is key for TBH Technik – this allows for the replacement of pumps from practically any global manufacturer without modifications to the hydraulic system.
4. Geometric volumes – 9 values for accurate flow coverage
The geometric displacement of the pump directly determines the flow rate of the hydraulic medium at a given drive speed. The AZPF series covers the range of 4 – 22.5 cm³/rev in 9 steps:
| Capacity [cm³/rev] | Typical application and use |
|---|---|
| 4,0 | Low-power circuits, control, power steering for small tractors |
| 5,0 | Auxiliary hydraulic circuits, valve control |
| 6,3 | Standard support circuits in mobile technology |
| 8,0 | Operation of medium-sized tractors and municipal vehicles |
| 11,2 | Tractor work equipment, municipal machinery |
| 14,0 | Power circuits, drive for excavator working equipment |
| 16,0 | Heavy mobile and industrial hydraulics |
| 19,0 | High-flow applications, large presses, and pressing equipment |
| 22,5 | Maximum volume of AZPF series, heavy-duty machinery and tractors |
With tandem and triple pumps, different volumes can be combined on each stage – e.g. 11.2 + 8.0 + 4.0 cm³/rev for a tractor with three independent hydraulic circuits.
5. Seals – NBR and FKM for all types of hydraulic oil
Choosing the correct seal material is critical for pump longevity. TBH Technik offers two basic options within the CKD programme:
- NBR (nitrile rubber) – standard choice for mineral hydraulic oil HLP. Resistant in the range of -30°C to +100°C. Suitable for the vast majority of mobile and industrial applications.
- FKM (fluoropolymer) – for biodegradable hydraulic oils (HETG, HEES), phosphate esters and chemically aggressive media. Resistant up to +150 °C. Required in the food industry and ecologically sensitive areas.
