Description
Internal gear pumps are known for their high volumetric efficiency, which remains consistent even when the pressure varies. This is unlike, for example, vane pumps. They are particularly suitable for servo pump applications due to their versatility, high efficiency, and low noise.
The high efficiency values associated with both radial and axial compensation systems allow for high overall efficiency and a significant reduction in pressure and flow pulsations.
Interfluid, with its well-established experience in the field of internal gear pumps, is proud to offer Bucher's QX series, a prominent product in the mobile and industrial hydraulic markets.
This fifth-generation pump combines a simple design with exceptional compactness and robustness.
Thanks to its unique gear profile created by Bucher, the QX series stands out for its minimal pulsations and significantly reduced noise emissions, achieving values below 75 dB(A). This model is ideal for an open circuit and can handle a maximum working pressure of 400 bar.
It also offers a wide range of displacements, with capacities ranging up to 500 cm3/rev. Its versatility is highlighted by its compatibility with various hydraulic fluids and the ability to be used with both fixed and variable-speed drives. Its extended lifespan makes it a reliable solution for many applications. And, thanks to our well-stocked inventory, we ensure quick responses and timely deliveries to customer requests.
The QXEH series is available with single and double pump configurations. The use of precision-made internal components (e.g., the pinion shaft made in a single piece) allows for extremely low pulsation and flow values even at low speeds.
These pumps guarantee maximum reliability and high performance in highly dynamic variable speed applications and even in reversible operation.
The QXEHX series is, in fact, an evolution of the QXEH, developed specifically for use with variable speed drives up to 6050 rpm.
Hydrodynamic lubrication has been improved compared to the previous version, significantly increasing the pump's operational reliability.
This series is characterized by resistance to cavitation, even with critical fluids, and has a long lifecycle even with cyclic loads. Built with very durable materials, it is suitable for use in challenging environments and with various types of fluids.
The QXM series represents a sophisticated evolution of the QX pumps, versatile enough to operate as both a pump and a motor (2 and 4 quadrants). Their symmetrical structure makes them ideal for multidirectional operation, finding their place in a wide variety of hydraulic applications, both in industrial and mobile settings.
The QXM series easily handles pressures up to 400 bar in both open and closed circuits, maintaining noise emissions below 75 dB(A). Additionally, it is compatible with various hydraulic fluids and adapts perfectly to both fixed and variable speed drives.
On the other hand, the QXEM series is suitable for operation in medium-pressure circuits up to 250 bar.

Which Bucher series should you choose?
- QX: constant-speed electric motor, general industrial and mobile hydraulics (presses, machine tools, power units, forklifts). The most versatile series, up to 400 bar intermittent.
- QXEH: servo-pump drives with variable speed and speed reversal (injection moulding, die casting, presses). Choose its successor QXEHX when you need higher speed, up to 6,050 rpm, and more power density.
- QXM: energy recovery and four-quadrant operation, where the unit works as a pump while lifting and as a motor while lowering, up to 400 bar.
- QXEM: highly dynamic cyclic loads in multi-quadrant operation, up to 250 bar.
- QYEH: compact variable-speed drives in harsh conditions, with high cyclic loads or critical fluids, thanks to a non-compensated design with only two moving parts.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Bucher QX and QXEH?
The QX is the versatile pump for fixed or variable speed motors, up to 360 bar continuous and 400 bar intermittent. The QXEH is designed for variable-speed servo-pumps, also with speed reversal, up to 250 bar continuous and 5,500 rpm.
When should I choose the QXEHX instead of the QXEH?
When you need higher speeds: the QXEHX is the successor of the QXEH, with maximum speeds increased by about 20% (up to 6,050 rpm for the QXEHX32-010) and overlapping displacements from 10 to 160 cm³/rev.
QXM or QXEM for pump/motor operation?
Both work as pump and as motor in 2 and 4 quadrants. The QXM reaches 400 bar intermittent (320 continuous) up to 250 cm³/rev; up to 500 cm³/rev it is available in pressure range 1 (160 bar continuous, 210 intermittent); the QXEM, with a one-piece pinion shaft, is for circuits at 210 bar continuous and 250 intermittent up to 250 cm³/rev.
