Cylinder & Pump Set (CPS) Selection Guide

Industrial

Power Team CPS kits are convenient for general purpose applications. Featuring a pump, cylinder, gauge, gauge adaptor, and hose, these sets are a cost-effective option for when you are on a tight budget and/or when your application’s pressure requirements aren’t too demanding.

Easily expandable, these sets are the perfect way to start your hydraulic system. Because the sets are made to be deployed in as many different applications as possible, the cylinders and pumps are available in different combinations. The applications could be equipment maintenance (for example bush or pin removal), lifting, pushing, pulling, or material positioning and fabrication.

Choosing the right cylinder & pump set

The Power Team hydraulic pump of CPS range has a cylinder and pump set for every job. But there are a few considerations to keep in mind as you make your selection. Ignoring these will risk ending up with a CPS kit whose pressure output falls short of your needs. Here are a few things you need to remember as you decide on your cylinder & pump set:

Choose the right cylinder and pump combination,

For applications where you have to constantly move the CPS kit, a lightweight kit would be a better option over the heavier steel kits,

Power Team pumps are available in single and 2-speed options. A dual speed pump has the advantage of reducing energy waste as it can be operated at different speeds, as demanded by each application.

There are both hand and foot-powered pump options. Where your loads are heavy, a foot pump would be a better option over a hand pump for which fatigue would quickly become an issue.
