Twin-flow pump for demanding applications

2nd Quarter 2012 Hydraulic systems & components

Parker Hannifin, the world’s largest manufacturer of motion and control technologies, has launched the latest addition to its F2 range of twin-flow hydraulic pumps. The F2-70/70 is the most powerful pump of its kind, offering a simple and cost effective solution for demanding hydraulic applications such as off-road, forestry and construction equipment.

The F2 hydraulic pumps simultaneously provide two separate downstream systems with the exact amount of oil required. This eliminates the need for an oil cooler as well as the often complex and expensive option of installing a full load sensing system. The pumps provide a simple, robust solution with fewer components. This results in reduced maintenance requirements and lower operating costs.

The F2-70/70 pump offers 70+70 cc/rev performance, making it ideal for the most powerful hydraulic machinery, without placing undue stress on power take-off units. Twin-flows of up to 116+116 litres per minute enable the pump to handle demanding simultaneous functions, providing minimal heat loss and high capacity power reserve. They deliver efficient vehicle manoeuvering, maximum reliability and long service life.

Parker’s entire F2 series features the highly efficient bent-axis shaft design, specially intended for heavy duty mobile applications where the pumps must withstand continuous use at high revs.

In addition to the F2-70/70 pumps, the F2 range includes a number of other models. These include the 42+42, 55+28, 53+53 and 70+35 cc/rev pumps, designed to meet the requirements of a wide range of hydraulic applications, as well as the F1 single pump range that consists of the 25, 41, 51, 61, 81 and 101 cc/rev.

How to protect against water hammer
SA Gauge Editor's Choice Hydraulic systems & components
Water hammer is a high-pressure surge or wave created by the kinetic energy of moving fluid when it is rapidly forced to stop or change direction, altering the liquid’s velocity. The progression of the water hammer shockwave needs to be detained and slowed before reaching the instrument sensor. SA Gauge manufactures several such devices in order to achieve this.
