The main task is to identify early phase damage of hydraulic system elements (pumps, valves, ect.) in order to take decision which can avoid hydraulic system break down. This paper presents the possibility of phase trajectories use in detecting output pressure change of hydraulic system caused by positive-displacement pump wear. Key words: technical stability, phase trajectory, axial-piston pump, pump diagnosis Introduction In hydraulic drive systems the positive-displacement pumps are one of the important elements. Proper work of these elements causes proper work of whole hydraulic system. The wear of pump elements causes pump’s pressure lost and increase of volumetric losses, which lead to decreasing delivery of the pump and increasing in vibration and noise of its work. The run of vibroacustic diagnosis of pump is mainly guide to search: damage symptoms in vibration signals. In the case of high noise level and high level of mechanical complexity, the estimations of damage symptoms have big uncertainty. The diagnosis of process analysis shows only huge damage appearance which is critical in further exploitation. This methodology doesn’t take into consideration development process so there are no possibilities to predict it (Batko, 2007). The searches for new method of pump diagnosis are mainly based on assumptions which eliminate disadvantages of now use methods. Description of phase trajectory method Detection of positive-displacement pump output pressure change should be independent from noises connected with operation of other hydraulic unit elements. However it is impossible to distinguish from signal informative compo
