Press release from ENERPAC - 2008-07-24

End of hydraulic foot pump with linear air motor


Manufacturer of hydraulic pump technology changes

The new Enerpac XA-series air driven hydraulic pumping with XVARI® Technology has a tremendously high delivery, is accurately controllable and ergonomic, three characteristics of the new pump with XVARI® Technology developed by Enerpac. Never before have these three important product characteristics been combined in one hydraulic pump. The XVARI® Technology replaces the popular and widely-used linear pneumatic motor technology.
The new pump offers strongly improved ergonomics, a more accurate metering of the hydraulic oil flow, a higher delivery and higher efficiency. The pump has two pedals: one for the pressure build-up and one for pressure reduction. They are depressed with the ball of the foot, which is more stable and causes less fatigue.
The new pump has a 50% higher hydraulic delivery because of the use of a rotating air motor and a two-stage rotating pump element instead of a linear air motor. The gearwheels and eccentric shaft with cams reduce the speed to 2,000 rpm. The speed can be precisely controlled with the pedal. Due to the XVARI® Technology jerky pumps belong to the past. With the 30% higher oil delivery, the time required to get up to pressure has been reduced. The retraction of the hydraulic release valve can be controlled by the release pedal.
