Piston Pump

Listed below are a few of the piston pump series we carry.  Through our relationship with the top pump manufacturers, Advanced Fluid Power can get for you, the exact piston pump from the Original Equipment Manufacturer or we can cross over your piston pump to a drop in replacement.

Piston pumps are typically much more complicated and are often available in wither fixed or, commonly, variable displacement configurations and with pressure compensation. These are big words that mean that piston pumps can usually adapt to the system pressure, providing maximum efficiency and flexibility. They are often used in “closed center” systems where the pump displacement varies to meet the needs of the work being done. Piston pumps use a “swashplate” to move the pistons and the angle of the swashplate & bore of the pistons determines the displacement. Pressure compensation regulates outputs in response to variations in the system. Piston pumps are typically the most efficient type of hydraulic pumps.
