Pumps and motors suit truck industry

First Quarter 2008 Hydraulic systems & components

Commercial Shearing’s gear pumps and motors are an ideal power source for the truck industry. The PGP020 series can produce flows up to 110 l/m at 2400 rpm and up to 210 bar (3000 psi); output to 147 l/m at 2400 rpm and up to 175 bar (2500 psi). The motors and pumps can be bi-rotational. A variety of drive shafts and mounting styles are offered to meet users’ needs. Standard features include rigid, one-piece drive shaft and gears and pressure-balanced thrust plates, which assure top efficiency. A rugged, high-strength, cast iron body provides durability. PGP020 pumps and motors can be assembled in tandem to provide additional pump flow or more motor torque.
