Parker Hannifin is a globally recognized brand in hydraulic systems and components known for delivering reliable, high-quality solutions. As a top manufacturer of axial piston pumps, Parker offers a broad portfolio including the durable and versatile PV080 variable displacement pump. Designed for demanding industrial and mobile applications requiring responsive flow control, the PV080 combines premium engineering and robust construction. Let’s take a deeper look inside this specialized hydraulic piston pump.
An Inside Look at the Parker PV080 Piston Pump
The PV080 uses a swashplate design with piloted axial pistons to vary displacement smoothly from 0-80 cc per revolution. This adjustable flow capability allows precise matching to load demands from 0-800 cc/min. An integrated helical gear set drives the pistons quietly and efficiently. The pump reaches pressure ratings up to 420 bar while maintaining tight flow regulation through its operating range.
Parker’s exclusive TriCorr surface treatment coats internal pump components, shielding against corrosion in wet environments. Together with a hardened and anodized aluminum housing, it fortifies the PV080 for reliability even in abrasive conditions. It’s compact footprint moreover suits installation constraints on mobile equipment and machinery.
Applications leveraging the PV080’s responsive flow control
Applications leveraging the PV080’s responsive flow control include crane and winch control, proportional valves, industrial robots, linear actuations and hydraulic motors. Its versatile design accepts multiple input options like axial and radial shaft mounts. Optional pilot operated and cartridge configurations streamline integration into closed-loop circuits.
Inside, precisely machined hardcoat anodized surfaces with minimum clearances guide piston and swashplate motion frictionlessly. Lubrication passages flood bearings and seals with oil, keeping heat generation low even at full loads. Low friction ball bearings positioned at each end of the hardened steel drive shaft maintain concentricity and precision.
Nitrile rubber seal materials resist chemicals in typical hydraulic fluid
Additionally available FKM seals suit food grade or offshore applications. Ceramic coated swashplates and helical gears withstand wear for exceptionally long operational life. Change intervals are planned to exceed 30,000 hours even under continuous duty cycles.
An assortment of filtration accessories, pressure and thermal relief valves, manifolds and converters make the PV080 a complete flow control solution. Clever modular mounting positions it horizontally or vertically with no derating. Compact dimensions occupy minimal valuable space on machinery.
Renowned for reliable hydraulic solutions, Parker backs the PV080 with responsive application support. Customers can trust its performance to exceed demanding specifications day after day. Overall the pump exemplifies Parker’s commitment to engineering excellence through high quality materials, precision manufacturing and customizable configurations.
