Hydraulic motors and pumps are the core components in hydraulic systems. The plunger assembly is a key component for the realization of the function of the axial piston pump and motor. The coupling between the slipper and the plunger body is completed through the closing process. With the application of computational science and finite element technology, DEFORM-3D metal forming process simulation is used to establish the corresponding closing device model of the plunger assembly. Through simulation, we analyze the change law of metal flow during plastic deformation process, and carry out structural optimization design based on the simulation results. We found that the closing is completed under the appropriate cone angle and distance line of the shoe, the quality is relatively uniform, and there is no closing defects such as metal flow overflow and cracks. The pull-off force and the clearance value after rolling can meet the design requirements. This method not only can effectively shorten the product verification cycle and reduce the cost, but also can reduce the defects of the finished product and improve the yield rate, providing a new way for the design of the closing structure and closing model of the plunger assembly.
