First Quarter 2006 Hydraulic systems & components

Power Team, a Hytec Group company, has released a new lightweight hand pump that offers increased oil capacity, at half the weight of other medium range market leading alternative products. The P59L is manufactured from a combination of lightweight, durable materials. Its design has seen the usable oil volume increase by 30%, which means it can now be used for applications requiring larger volume and longer stroke cylinders. The piston link design has reduced handling effort by 40%. This means that at a weight of 4,1 kg, the Power Team P59L two speed hand pump can deliver 12cc/stroke up to 5,9 MPa and 2,5cc/stroke up to a pressure of 70 MPa. Its true unloading valve provides first stage flow of up to 5,9 MPa for significantly increased efficiency.

"It reduces fatigue and enhances safety, as an operator can now carry the unit long distances and into inaccessible areas with less effort. This was not previously practical or as safe with other steel pumps on the market," explains Power Team general manager, Ian Bennett. "We will continue stocking steel versions as well, for use in explosion-proof areas."

Also new from Power Team is a weather-resistant electric pump. Providing enhanced component protection in damp, dusty environments, the pump features a gasketed electrical enclosure with dust-tight and rain resistant IP65 rating.

An hydraulic punch range is available for steel construction that ranges from 2 to 20 to 35 t(force). In comparison to drilling, these punches can deliver smooth, precise holes in seconds. Fully portable, the rugged products incorporate dual action, spring loaded strippers to remove material from the punch on return. This prevents binding and speeds retraction. The picture shows the P59L lightweight, and durable hand pump.
