General information
GD5 series overview
Danfoss Gear Products combine state of the art innovation and manufacturing processes. These products
are designed to satisfy global customer requirements for higher pressure, long life and full range of
options and features.
GD5 gear pump is a floating bushing, pressure balanced design with a high strength extruded aluminum
body, cast iron end cover and cast iron mounting flange.
The wide choice of shafts, flanges and ports in compliance with all international standards (SAE, DIN, ISO
and European). Displacements from 5.1cm³/rev (0.31in³/rev) to 24.0 cm³/rev (1.46 in³/rev). Maximum
pressure up to 250 bar (3625 psi).Maximum speed up to 4000 RPM.

Mounting
The pump can be mounted with drive shaft in horizontal, vertical or at any angle in between. All flanges
have pilot (spigot) for proper alignment of pump with respect to drive system.
Rotation
Shaft rotation is denoted in the unit coding. Arrow indicating direction of rotation is stamped on the
pump’s center body. Direction of rotation is viewed from the pump’s drive shaft end.
Drives
Coupling used to drive the pump should not transfer any radial or axial load on the pump’s drive shaft. A
flexible coupling is recommended to accommodate slight misalignment and to dampen the vibration.
Fluids
Pressure ratings in this catalog are determined using petroleum-based hydraulic fluids. Recommended
viscosity range is found in Technical data. Avoid using mixtures of two different oils which could result in
decomposition and reduction of oil’s lubricating capability. For use with other oils, consult your Danfoss
representative for approval.
Fluid reservoir
The reservoir capacity for industrial systems with open-loop flow should be at least 3 times as that of the
flow. The pump suction line should draw oil from a point not less than 100 mm (4 Inch) above the tank
bottom to avoid sludge deposits from entering the pump. The return line should be submerged in the oil
and should be positioned as far apart as possible from the inlet line. The return and inlet lines should be
separated by baffles.
Lines
The inside diameter of the inlet line must be as large as possible. The inlet line should be free from sharp
bends, 90 degree elbow fittings or other restrictions that could cause resistance to flow. Positive head
should be maintained at the pump inlet as far as possible. However, if the pump is required to operate at
low inlet pressure condition, then inlet vacuum should not be less than 0.2 bar (6 inches of Hg). If the inlet
vacuum is outside of the recommendations, consult your Danfoss representative for approval.
The maximum inlet pressure of the pump is limited by the shaft seal and should not exceed 2 bar gauge.
The inside diameter of outlet line should be at least equal to the opening diameter of the outlet port.
C Caution
Over-tightening the coupling connected to threaded-type inlet and outlet ports may damage the threads
in the pump body. Do not over-tighten the coupling.
Filtration
Most premature failures of gear pumps are due to contaminated fluid. Oil contamination level should not
exceed ISO cleanliness code 20/18/13 per ISO 4406:99. Full flow filtering is always recommended. Initial
cleanliness level of the fluid with which system is filled must not exceed NAS 1638Class 9.

Starting up
1. Fill the pump with fluid before installing

2. Check the direction of rotation
Rotation direction should be in line with arrow marked on the pump.
3. Check that all fitting connections are torqued to proper specifications.
4. For first run of the pump, gradually increase pressure and speed until operating levels are obtained.
Periodic checks
Keep the outside surface of the pump clean, especially the area near the drive shaft seal. Using an
abrasive powder on the shaft seal will wear the seal and cause leakage. Replace filters regularly in order
to keep hydraulic fluid clean. Monitor oil level and replenish oil if necessary.
