Hydraulic Pump Categories

ALLTORC offers a range of hydraulic pump options to suit different torque, tensioning, and lifting applications. 

Electric Torque Wrench Pumps

Our electric torque wrench pumps deliver strong performance with quiet operation, making them ideal for indoor environments with noise limits. They feature precise pressure control for accurate torque and come in multiple voltage options to suit your power supply.

Pneumatic Torque Wrench Pumps

In areas where electricity is unavailable or prohibited, our pneumatic torque wrench pumps provide dependable power. These air-driven units deliver steady pressure for torque work in hazardous or remote sites. Their rugged build ensures consistent performance in the toughest conditions.

Hi-Force Hydraulic Tensioner Pumps

Designed for bolt tensioning, these high-pressure pumps operate up to 21,000 PSI. Hi-Force tensioner pumps deliver accurate, simultaneous tensioning of multiple bolts. This is essential for achieving exact preload in power generation, heavy manufacturing, and similar industries.

Lifting Pumps

Our hydraulic lifting pumps supply the force required for heavy lifting. They offer exact control for safe load handling and perform reliably in demanding industrial environments.

Technical Excellence in Hydraulic Pump Design

Hydraulic pumps use different internal mechanisms to deliver power for various industrial applications. Each design offers strengths depending on the required pressure, flow rate, and operating environment.

Gear pumps are valued for their durability and straightforward design, making them suitable for many medium-pressure tasks. Piston pumps excel in high-pressure work, often used in industries where precision and power are critical. Vane pumps are known for their efficiency and steady performance, especially in continuous-duty operations. Understanding these technologies helps you choose the right pump to match your torque and tensioning needs.

FAQs About Hydraulic Pumps

What are hydraulic pumps used for in industrial settings?

Hydraulic pumps convert mechanical energy into hydraulic energy. They power tools such as torque wrenches, tensioners, nut splitters, and cylinders. By creating pressurized flow, they enable precise torque and controlled force in critical bolting tasks.

Do hydraulic pumps use oil or air?

Hydraulic pumps operate with hydraulic oil as the working fluid. The pump itself can be driven by electric motors, air-powered motors (pneumatic), or batteries. The best choice depends on your job requirements and available power sources.

What type of hydraulic pump offers the highest efficiency?

Efficiency depends on matching the pump flow rate and pressure to your application. Piston pumps often provide the highest efficiency for high-pressure work, while vane pumps perform well at medium pressures with excellent volumetric efficiency. The right option will depend on your pressure range, duty cycle, and load conditions.

What is the maximum pressure capability for industrial hydraulic pumps?

ALLTORC offers hydraulic pumps with pressure ratings for different applications. Standard models operate up to 10,000 PSI for most torque work. Specialized systems for tensioning can reach 21,000 PSI or 36,000 PSI, giving you the exact pressure your operation demands.
