Topping off Parker Hannifin’s PVplus axial piston pump family, the new PV360 is a variable displace- ment pump with a displacement of 360 cc/rev that is designed for a variety of heavy-duty mobile and industrial applications such as cranes and lifting equipment, hydraulic power units (HPUs) and marine.
NEW AXIAL PISTON
PUMP FROM PARKER
At 360 cc/rev, PV360 is largest in the PVplus pump line,
targets cranes and other larger equipment

The Hydraulic Pump Division of Parker Hannifin Corp. has in- troduced an addition to its PVplus axial piston pump family. The new PV360 is a variable displacement pump designed for a variety of heavy-duty mobile and industrial applications such as cranes and lifting equipment, hydraulic power units (HPUs) and marine.

With a displacement of 360 cc/rev, the PV360 is the new top end of a range that also includes 16, 20, 23, 28, 32, 40, 46, 63, 80, 92, 140, 180 and 270 cc displacements.

The PV360 pumps offer pressures to 5000 psi and incorporate a large servo piston for exceptionally fast response, the company said. They incorporate Parker’s patented ripple chamber technology that results in 40 to 60% less pressure and flow pulsation than comparable pumps. This, Parker said, means that fewer sine waves — capable of loosening hydraulic connections and damaging downstream components — are introduced into the system. That is especially significant in applications where the hydraulic system may already be subject to high impact forces, the company said. Pump noise is also reduced, Parker added.

The pumps also feature a modular
design, offering a wider variety of com-
pensator options, including standard
pressure, remote pressure, load sensing
and horsepower. Pilot valves can also
be directly mounted without any piping,
which permits simple and straightfor-
ward in-field conversion, Parker said.
