Cylinders boost pneumatic performance
The P1T rodless cylinder has a longitudinal polyurethane body seal that lifts and passes through the body of the carriage as it moves.
Exceptional build quality means that both series are suited to a variety of tasks, including both heavier, intermittent jobs, such as powering skip loaders, and light and medium duty applications in towing, road sweeping and roadside rescue.
The smaller GPA series is available in four pump sizes, featuring tough yet lightweight extruded aluminium housings, while the seven size options in the larger GP1 series pumps have robust, compact cast iron housings for maximum strength.
The new pumps are bidirectional, have three or four bolt fitting configurations and a dual port layout enabling them to be installed easily, as either rear- or side-mounted units.
Both series are quiet in operation yet high-revving in use, thereby reducing noise emissions as well as sensitivity to over-speeding.
Parker Hannifin can also supply a range of piston and vane pumps for heavy duty applications in commercial and military vehicles. Request a free brochure from Parker Hannifin ...
