Pumps have improved flow dynamics

Following the launch of the ZU electric pumps for the construction market, Enerpac has just released the new ZE series 700bar hydraulic pumps for industrial applications.

Following the launch of the ZU electric pumps for the construction market, Enerpac has just released the new ZE series 700bar hydraulic pumps for industrial applications. In the Z-Class range of electric pumps, Enerpac said that it has used the latest metallurgical, bearing and seal technologies. According to the company, by reducing the number of moving parts, improving flow dynamics and decreasing friction, Z-Class pumps will stay on the job longer, require less energy to operate and when needed, have lower service costs.

The design of the ZE electric pump has higher oil flow and by-pass pressure, runs cooler and requires 18 per cent less current draw than comparable pumps said Enerpac.

The totally enclosed, fan-cooled electric motor supplies extended life and stands up to harsh industrial environments.

The multiple valve and reservoir configurations provide application specific models to match the most demanding industrial applications.

The optional LCD readout provides a number of diagnostic and readout capabilities never before offered on an industrial pump.

The ZE pumps are available in four flow ranges and single and two-stage models, to provide the optimum cylinder and tool performance for almost any industrial application.

Available in four oil flow groups of 0.55, 0.82, 1.64 and 2.73 litres per minute at 700bar.

Motor sizes include 0.75, 1.12, 2.24 and 5.60 kW models.

A list of accessories is available, including heat exchanger, roll bars, pressure transducer and level and temperature switches to allow complete pump control over a range of industrial applications.
