ENERPAC has released an air-over-hydraulic foot pump which it claims enables finer and safer control while allowing completing tasks twice as quickly as conventional pumps.
According to the manufacturer, the 700 bar XVARI XA has high oil flow, with a rotating air motor and two-stage pump element. This is said to provide hydraulic delivery up to 50% higher than normal pumps with linear motors and single pistons.
The company says the unit comes with two-pedal control of advance and retract functions to provide time-efficient and safer hands-free operation, leading to less fatigue and increased stability.
The precise technology allows continuous control over the amount of hydraulic oil flow in the pump’s advance and retract mode, so as to provide fine control over operation speeds.
The pump is suited for jobs requiring accurate load positioning, aligning and controlled descent.
