Piston pumps are widely used in hydraulic systems to precisely control fluid flow and pressure. The Parker PV080 piston pump is a popular choice for industrial automation and mobile equipment. This post will cover the key specifications, performance features and applications of the Parker PV080 pump.
Series Overview Of Parker PV080
The PV080 pump is part of Parker’s BFP series of variable displacement, bidirectional piston pumps. Some highlights:
•Design: The pump uses pistons inside cylindrical bores to displace hydraulic fluid.
•Control: The pump’s displacement can be infinitely varied to control hydraulic flow and pressure.
•Mounting: The PV080 series is designed for flange or face mounting to hydraulic systems and equipment.
•Plunger: The pump uses a hardened steel plunger and barrel to achieve long life.
•Ports: Standard SAE -4 et -6 ports are available, along with metric ports.
•Direction: The PV080 can run in either direction, suction or pressure.
