Air-Driven Hydraulic Pumps

There is a growing demand today for design improvement in the operation of auxiliary functions on both off-highway and on-highway mobile type equipment. Faster, more efficient operation, better control, and less operator fatigue were the design goals considered in the design of the new AU air pump described in this article. Using the available pneumatic power source presently incorporated in the design of most vehicles today, this efficient, light-weight, low-cost, high-cycling speed intensifier is limited in its application only by the imagination of the vehicle designer.
