A4VSO125DRG/30L-PPB13N00 Hydraulic Piston Pump Mining Motor German Rexroth
The Rexroth A4VSO125DRG/30L-PPB13N00 is a genuine German-manufactured A4VSO series open-circuit axial piston variable pump, equipped with DRG pressure compensated control and remote pilot pressure setting. With a displacement of 125 cm³/r and PPB13 SAE compact flange & ports, this pump maintains a preset system pressure by reducing displacement toward zero once pressure is reached, while also allowing the pressure setpoint to be adjusted remotely via pilot port X.
In mining applications — such as coal preparation plant HPUs, conveyor tensioning systems, crusher clamp circuits, and mine winder auxiliary hydraulics — the DRG function is valuable because plant operators can change system pressure from a central control room without accessing the pump skid. The compact PPB13 porting integrates cleanly into manifold-mounted mining HPU skids. Rated for 350 bar continuous / 400 bar peak.

DRG Remote Pilot Pressure Control - Benefit for Mining HPUs
Standard DR requires manual spring adjustment. DRG adds remote pilot capability:
- Base pressure set by internal spring (minimum)
- Applying pilot pressure to port X raises the effective pressure setpoint proportionally
- Allows pressure changeover from a mine control room, PLC, or pilot-operated relief valve — no need to open the HPU enclosure or adjust the pump mechanically
- Pump strokes to near-zero at set pressure → minimizes heat generation during hold
- Built-in pressure limitation for system safety
➡ Particularly useful on centralized mine plant HPUs feeding multiple circuits with different pressure requirements (e.g. conveyor tension vs. crusher clamp vs. lubrication).
Typical Applications
- Mining & Mineral Processing: coal prep plant HPUs, conveyor belt tensioning, crusher / screen clamp hydraulics, thickener rake drives, mine winder auxiliary circuits
- Heavy Industrial HPUs: press clamp/hold circuits, filter press hydraulics, stamping line aux pumps
- Process Plants: centralized hydraulic stations with multi-pressure-level operation
- Test Benches: where pressure setpoint must be changed frequently without manual adjustment
- Retrofit: upgrading manual DR pumps to remotely adjustable DRG for automation readiness

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the difference between DR and DRG on A4VSO pumps?
A1: DR has a mechanical spring adjustment only — pressure is changed by turning the screw. DRG includes a pilot port X so the pressure setpoint can be remotely increased by applying pilot pressure, in addition to the spring preload. This enables centralized or automated pressure control.
Q2: Can DRG be used without pilot pressure connected?
A2: Yes. Without pilot pressure on port X, the pump regulates to the spring-adjusted base pressure. Applying pilot pressure raises the effective set pressure up to the max allowed by the spring range.
Q3: What is the difference between PPB13 and PPB25?
A3: Both are SAE flanges/ports. PPB13 is the compact SAE port size, preferred for manifold-mounted skids in plant/mine HPUs; PPB25 uses larger SAE ports for high-flow piped systems. Pump performance is identical.
