Available in five frame sizes, flow rates of a modular hydraulic pump are from 20 to 400 litres/min at up to 350 bar and over 100,000 configuration are available.
Parker Hannifin has introduced an improved version of its PV pump range - the PVPlus. Available in five frame sizes, flow rates are from 20 to 400 litres/min at up to 350 bar and, thanks to variations and options, over 100,000 configuration are available. The pump's performance, simple configuration, modular design and ease of maintenance are the result of an in-depth research and design process - something that could only be successfully performed by a company that understands what the market needs.

Parker Hannifin's understanding is reinforced through its regular involvement in customer designs as well as its system-based approach to solving customer application problems.

The PVPlus range has up to 60% less pressure and flow pulsation than comparable pumps - pulsation ripples that would otherwise cause vibration and noise in a system, when combined with a novel pre-compression chamber the overall system noise is further reduced.

Structurally, they exhibit permanently tight joints within a high strength cast-iron housing for high reliability and quiet operation.

For installation and maintenance, engineers do not need assembly fixtures and nothing more than standard tools are needed to exchange spare parts or to alter the pump's configuration - both of which can be done quickly without complete dismantling.

The pumps offer modular controls for easy in-field conversion, they have a large servo piston for fast response and a Thru-Shaft Option offers 100% 'thru torque' capability.

Valves can be directly mounted onto the pump as can transducers, which enable the creation of electro-hydraulic control systems.

As pumps play a pivotal role in hydraulic applications, delivery lead times are also playing an ever more important role.

Thanks to the modular design of the new range, Parker Hannifin is able to offer on-site delivery in just 10 working days for standard pump variants.

With typical market lead times in excess of 16 to 24 weeks, only customers with the most advanced predictive maintenance programme can look this far ahead; and, with the random nature of many failures, this is often just not possible.
