ENERPAC P18 Single-Stage Hydraulic Hand Pump, Single Speed, 2850 Psi

Enerpac P18 hydraulic hand pump is ideal for generating hydraulic pressure in construction, material handling and maintenance & repair tasks. This pump is used to power a wide range of single-acting cylinders and tools in space-restricted areas.

Working Mechanism:

• Apply force to the hand lever of this pump.
• The force transfers to the piston inside the pump's cylinder.
• As the piston moves downward, it creates a low-pressure area in the cylinder.
• Hydraulic fluid is drawn in through an intake check valve, filling the cylinder.
• When the hand lever is released, the piston moves upward, compressing the hydraulic fluid.
• The compression increases the pressure in the cylinder.
• The high-pressure fluid flows out through the outlet check valve and into the hydraulic system.
• The pump is equipped with an external load-release valve for controlled release of the load.
• The pump can be operated manually, with each stroke of the hand lever generating hydraulic pressure.
• The process can be repeated to continuously provide hydraulic power as needed.

Features:

• It features all-steel construction for structural rigidity.
• This hydraulic pump comes with a chrome-plated plunger and a wiper system to maintain a tight seal between the plunger and the cylinder wall.
• Enerpac P18 single-stage hydraulic hand pump has a maximum operating pressure of 2850 psi.
• It has an external load-release valve to safely and precisely control the release of load in hydraulic systems, preventing sudden and uncontrolled movements during operations.
• This hydraulic pump is equipped with an internal pressure-relief valve for improved overload protection.

Compatible Accessories:

• Enerpac DA8954900SR Piston Link Assembly: This assembly is a component that connects the piston to the other parts of the hydraulic system, enabling the transmission of hydraulic force and movement.
