Parker Hannifin, the world’s largest manufacturer of motion and control technologies, has launched the latest addition to its F2 range of twin-flow hydraulic pumps. The F2-70/70 is the most powerful pump of its kind, offering a simple and cost effective solution for the most demanding hydraulic applications, for example, in off road, forestry and construction equipment.
The F2 series of hydraulic pumps are able simultaneously to provide two separate downstream systems with the exact amount of oil required. As a result, it is possible to eliminate the need for an oil cooler and the often complex and expensive option of installing a fully load sensing system. The pumps provide a simple, robust solution with fewer components, to provide reduced maintenance requirements and lower operating costs.
The F2-70/70 pump is able to offer 70+70 cc/rev performance, making it ideal for the most powerful hydraulic machinery, without placing undue stress on power take-off units. Twin-flows of up to 116+116 litres per minute enable the pump to handle demanding simultaneous functions, providing minimal heat loss and high capacity power reserve, to deliver efficient vehicle manoeuvring, maximum reliability and long service life.
Parker’s entire F2 series features the highly efficient bent-axis shaft design, specially intended for heavy duty mobile applications, enabling the pumps to withstand continuous use at high revs.
In addition to the F2-70/70 pumps, the F2 range includes a number of other models, including the 42+42, 55+28, 53+53, 70+35cc/rev pumps, designed to meet the requirements of a wide range of hydraulic applications.
