With their unique design, PA-PAC pumps offer a robust and durable solution to the high pressure needs of truck applications. Combining the automatic dual direction of rotation, high operating pressure (up to 500 bar peak), and their relative insensitivity to lower performance fluids, PA-PAC pumps are the solution for the most demanding environments.
Characteristics and advantages :
Specifically designed to meet the needs of truck hydraulics, the TXV variable displacement pumps with LS (Load Sensing) control allow flow regulation to suit the application requirements. The pump regulates to only supply the correct flow for each movement. Its compact size envelope enables direct flange mounting on the PTO (motor or gearbox), or via an input drive shaft. The TXV pump is available in max. displacements of 40 to 150 cc/rev. and can operate at working pressures of up to 400 bar.

Caracteristics and advantages :
The TXV pump can be fitted with a constant torque control. This device allows the pump to continuously regulate to keep: Pressure x Flow = Constant. Overall size remains compact. Particularly well suited for large equipment, such as handling cranes that require high flow or high pressure, the TXV pump with Constant Torque pump ensures operation within the power/torque limits of the PTO.

Three control options exist :
For other control options, please consult us.
As an option, these motors can be fitted with a speed sensor and/or a flushing valve.
Characteristics and advantages :
M : Motor.
SI : Semi-integrated, model definition already used for the fixed and variable displacement motors, meaning that the flange is further back so the motor can easily be fitted into a gearbox or hub. These motors are usually used for vehicle wheel drive.
2C : 2 displacements. More often referred to as 2 speed, because with a constant inlet flow, the change in displacement induces a change in shaft speed and therefore in vehicle speed.
45/49 : Maximum displacement varying the angle of the swashplate changes the stroke of the pistons and thus the displacement of the motor.
Control : the motor is naturally at maximum displacement. Supplying oil to the control piston through an orifice in the back piece pushes the swashplate to minimum displacement position.
Characteristics and advantages :
The MT45 is an in-line piston motor.
Its « semi-integrated » design makes it very compact.
Equipped with a conical keyed shaft, it is optimal for mounting on fan drive.
On request, the MT45 motor can be fitted with an anti-cavitation valve, and with an integrated pressure relief valves, thus further reducing size envelope of the function.
Characteristics and advantages :
Hydraulic circuits and installations can be simplified, and costs reduced, using this bent axis innovative motor able to operate without a drain connection.
The back piece of the motor is designed to allow the drain flow to go to the low pressure line, thus ensuring that the pressure in the housing is equal to the minimum pressure in the circuit.
For bi-directional rotation, a spring-loaded accumulator is incorporated, which takes out the pressure peaks which occur with rapid change in direction.
Characteristics and advantages :
The LEDUC spherical accumulators (AS-AC) consist of two hemispherical shells screwed together and holding a diaphragm. This diaphragm has a metal stud which closes off the fluid pat when the fluid is completely drained: any risk of damage to the diaphragm is thus avoided. The gas-side port is fitted with a charging valve to control the nitrogen pressure in the accumulator.
Characteristics and advantages :
HYDRO LEDUC ABVE bottle type accumulators consist of a forged steel body, a bladder, a charging valve and a fluid pat that is used as a connection. It is precisely this fluid pat that is equipped with a poppet valve that will prevent the bladder from being extruded, and with gas side valve used when the hydraulic pressure is applied to the circuit.
Characteristics and advantages :
Using bladder-diaphragm (designed for working pressures up to 330 bar), these hydropneumatic accumulators represent a particularly attractive solution for mobile applications. Available for useful volumes from 0.7 to 4 Litres, the ACS(L) accumulators series are available as standard version for operating temperatures between -20°C and +100°C, and in “low temperature” version from -40°C to +100°C. All these accumulators are equipped with screw or charging valve, allowing verification and charging by the customer, but can also be supplied with a charging pressure P0 according to the customer’s request.
Characteristics et advantages :
AP(L) piston accumulators are built from a body made of high mechanical resistance forged steel. The fluid-gas separating piston is equipped with seals adapted to the fluids to convey and the temperatures to be supported. AP(L) accumulators, which can be fitted with a charging screw or valve, are a modern solution to the needs of hydraulic circuits.
