High performance hydraulic pump
4th Quarter 2011
Hydraulic systems & components
New to Becker Mining Africa’s Simplex range of hydraulic and mechanical equipment are heavy duty air-over-hydraulic power pumps, designed for safe and reliable lifting and positioning of industrial equipment.
The new Simplex GA9 series air-over-oil single speed pumps are available in either single or double acting valve configurations, with a 700 bar hydraulic pressure capability.
“These new compact pumps, which are lightweight and easy to carry, can be used to power a wide range of small to medium sized tools and have been designed for quiet operation (85 dBA) in diverse indoor and outdoor applications,” says Eugene Davids, product manager for Becker Mining Africa. “Key operational features of this hydraulic pump platform include minimal air input requirements, a high rate spring for rapid response, high performance inlet/outlet check assemblies, safety overload protection and 180 ml fluid volume at 700 bar.”
These pumps have a rugged all metal construction for efficient operation and extended service life in challenging environments. Four mountable, non-skid rubber feet keep the pump stationary, and a non-slip three position diamond grip foot pedal with a hold and retract operation provides a safe and controlled foot pivoting action. An air inlet valve ensures smooth operation and a piston with U-cup sealing offers extended service life.
The hydraulic circuit elements encompass a large pressure port, two 25 micron screens which keep the circuit clean and a release pin for smooth pressure release.
For precise control in remote applications, the GA9 series has an easy to operate rubber coated handheld pendant.
