Hydraulic Pump for Maximum Efficiency

Hydraulic pumps are essential components of mobile work machinery. The hydraulic systems of these machines are becoming increasingly efficient and capable of delivering higher performance, while it is also important to keep economic operation in mind.

Traditional fixed-displacement gear pumps no longer meet modern expectations, which is why variable displacement devices are needed. Among such products, only piston pumps are suitable for use in mobile work machinery, where it may be necessary to ensure pressures of up to 400-450 bar.

Pressure-Controlled and Power-Controlled Pumps

Both types of products have the capability to automatically adjust the pump's fluid delivery, so the operator does not have to manage this and can fully concentrate on controlling the machinery.

Pressure-controlled devices reduce the amount of fluid delivered as soon as the system pressure reaches the set upper limit. Power-controlled pumps operate on a similar principle, also reducing the amount of fluid delivered at the moment the threshold power is reached.

The disadvantage of these types is that they maintain maximum pressure or power even in situations where less would be sufficient. The resulting difference must be absorbed by the system, causing it to heat up more than ideally necessary.

Load-Sensing Axial Piston Hydraulic Pump

The solution to the problems of the aforementioned types is provided by load-sensing models. These products can supply the pressure corresponding to the load force acting on the hydraulic cylinder, as well as the amount of fluid appropriate for the speed of the cylinder. In practice, this means that the machine operator sets the required speed, which determines the amount of fluid to be delivered, and the pump thus senses the magnitude of the load acting on the cylinder.

Among the load-sensing types, the most widespread are the axial piston models. These have been on the market the longest, and there is ample feedback and extensive experience available about them. These are exceptionally reliable products, with lifespans comparable to the diesel engines responsible for their drive.

Axial Piston Hydraulic Pump Parker F2-70/70 L

The Parker F2-70/70 L axial piston hydraulic pump, which is also available in our webshop, is specifically designed for use in mobile work machinery. The model is capable of reaching a maximum speed of 2100 RPM—crucially, the pump must be operational across the entire speed range of the driving diesel engine—and can deliver pressures of up to 350 bar.

Thanks to its robust design, the hydraulic system will be reliable and operational in the long term. This is particularly important as manual operation often leads to harsh operating conditions. The equipment must be resistant to frequently and suddenly changing loads and to the adverse weather conditions encountered during outdoor work.
