Axiom Hydraulics has the agency for the Eckerle range of high pressure hydraulic pumps. The Eckerle product line comprises gap compensated internal gear pumps for industrial, mobile and automotive markets. Applications include lifting, lowering, steering, bending, cooling, energy recovery and braking in forklift trucks, truck tail gates, plastic injection moulding machines, press brakes and shearing machines.
Eckerle is a world leader in the design, development and manufacture of these pumps. The company has licensing and supply agreements with international players such as Linde, Bosch Rexroth, Bucher and Voith. Besides its range of standard pumps, Eckerle offers custom made solutions designed specifically to meet unique customer needs. This has given rise to over 300 variations in a host of different industries. All are manufactured to rigorous quality standards in Eckerle’s state-of-the-art factory using the latest manufacturing, measurement and testing technology.
Eckerle high pressure internal gear pumps combine unparalleled efficiency with the best possible price/performance ratio. The key is the innovative design in which the drive gear runs eccentrically inside the internal gear. The hydraulic oil is pumped through the spaces between the cogs of both gears, with the split crescent acting as a seal.
Other benefits include high volumetric efficiency at low speed, low pulsation and a long service life. In addition the optimised design makes them quick and easy to install. There is no need for a valve block for valve integration or for a pressure filter, and fewer hoses are needed.
