Safe and reliable positioning of industrial equipment
October 2011
Pneumatics & Hydraulics
Becker Mining introduces heavy duty air-over-hydraulic power pumps.
Designed for safe and reliable lifting and positioning of industrial equipment, Becker Mining Africa’s new Simplex GA9 series air-over-oil single speed pumps are available in either single or double acting valve configurations, with a 700 bar hydraulic pressure capability.
“These new pumps are lightweight and easy to carry and can be used to power a wide range of small to medium sized equipment designed for quiet operation (85 dba) in diverse indoor and outdoor applications,” says Eugene Davids, product manager for Becker Mining Africa. “Key operational features of this hydraulic platform include minimal air input requirements, a high rate spring for rapid response, high performance inlet/outlet check assemblies and safety overload protection.”
The pumps have a rugged all metal construction for efficient operation and extended service life in challenging environments. Four mountable, non-skid rubber feet keep the assembly stationary and a non-slip three position diamond grip foot pedal with hold and retract operation provides safe and controlled foot pivoting action. An air inlet valve ensures smooth operation and a piston with U-cup sealing offers extended service life.
The hydraulic circuit elements encompass a large pressure port, two 25 Micron screens which keep the circuit clean and a release pin for smooth pressure release; for precise control in remote applications, the GA9 series has an easy to operate rubber coated handheld pendant. A large selection of serviceable parts kits to reduce operating costs and minimise downtime is also available.
