Triple vane hydraulic pump is compact
A triple vane hydraulic pump, with high pressure ratings of up to 275 bar, offers high performance and long, low maintenance service life.
Double acting, single acting and spring assist operating options are available, each in four bore sizes from 16 mm to 40 mm.
Gripping force is from 78 to 1086 N at 6 bar, operating pressure range is 0.3 to 7 bar and repeatability is 0.1 mm.
Operational life is in excess of five million cycles.
Innovative design provides maximum jaw travel without loss of grip force.
Extended travel jaws provide the same operating grip force as standard jaws with longer travel.
The spring assist option offers extra grip force or a fail-safe mode during power failure.
The spring return option allows single acting operation, saving on components.
Stroke adjust option on either end provides adjustable and precision jaw location.
All models are supplied position sensor ready with magnetic pistons.
Each size uses a standard groove to accommodate the sensors, making sensor inventory simple.
Optional flow control fittings provide smooth and controlled jaw action.
Standard seals are incorporated for the operating temperature range -20 to 82C and fluorocarbon seals are available for high temperature applications in the range -20 to 121C. Request a free brochure from Parker Hannifin ...
