Eaton Announces New Vickers™ Hydraulic Power Units

Key among the many features of the new power units is SAE straight thread porting throughout to help minimize leakage. Also featured are line-mounted, spin-on return filters for ease of maintenance, standard D03 bar stock manifold with built-in relief to facilitate easy field upgrades, and a continuous duty rated motor that provides 24hr/7day per week operation and long life. To help reduce vibration, the units use an elastomer motor/pump coupling. An oiled and pickled reservoir minimizes internal rust and contamination.

Vickers Value-Pak models are equipped with a low-noise Eaton Series 26 gear pump. Vickers System-Pak models are available with a choice of vane pump or piston pump. The units are cooled by air/oil or water/oil with system monitoring achieved by low level/temp or low level switches.

Standard features include oil level indicator with thermometer, pressure gauge, return line filtration, TEFC electric motor and suction strainer. Special, unique features include a range of reservoir capacities from 3-25 gallons (5-25 for Value-Pak, flows to 10 gpm (fixed displacement) and 6 gpm (variable displacement, System-Pak only), electric motors (System-Pak: ½ - 2 hp single phase, 115/208-230, 60 Hz and ½-5 three phase, 230/460V or 575V 60 Hz; Value-Pak: 1 ½-5 hp), maximum pressure to 3000 psi (2400 psi for Value-Pak).

System-Pak valve options include a manifold in 1-8 station parallel or 1-4 station series, directional valves with optional voltages and wiring connections, and optional configurations of stack valves. Optional Vickers System-Stak valves may be used with the Value-Pak.

Select models can be shipped within 5 working days upon receipt of an order. Additional product information can be found by clicking here.
