Axial piston pump series for next-gen hydraulic applications
November 2025
Pneumatics & Hydraulics
Moog, a global designer, manufacturer and systems integrator of high-performance precision motion and fluid controls and control systems, has launched its new AXP Axial Piston Pump series, a next-generation hydraulic solution engineered to deliver optimal performance, reliability and cost efficiency for industrial applications.
The Moog AXP series introduces a patented slipperless, 15-piston floating configuration that combines the strengths of internal gear and piston pump technologies. The result is a compact, high-speed pump that operates with low noise and exceptional resistance to cavitation and contamination, making it ideal for demanding environments such as injection moulding, metal forming and endurance testing. “We invented the servo valve and forever changed how machines are designed,” said Harald Kurz, vice president of electrohydraulic products and solutions. “Now, we’re doing it again with an innovative pump that OEMs truly need. The AXP sets a new standard by delivering the performance engineers expect and the reliability operations demand.”
This launch reinforces Moog’s role as a trusted partner in delivering innovative, mission-critical solutions that improve efficiency, reliability and customer profitability. With the AXP series, Moog continues to set new standards in hydraulic technology.
Perfect balance, zero compromise
Key features and benefits include:
• Versatile operating range: Supports pressure holding at zero speed and dynamic performance at high speed, enabling energy savings, motor downsizing and broader application flexibility.
• Smooth, quiet operation: The 15-piston floating design and sound-optimised case reduce pulsation and noise, enhancing workplace comfort and motion precision.
• Robust and durable: A simplified architecture with fewer components, a patented slipper-less design that significantly reduces sensitivity to low suction pressures and an external drain work together to enhance overall system reliability and maximise uptime.
• Compact and scalable: High power density and 100% through-drive capability allow for smaller system footprints and easy flow scalability.
• Superior performance-to-price ratio: Designed to deliver long-term value by optimising equipment performance while supporting cost-conscious system design.
The AXP pump is well-suited for a wide range of applications, including construction machinery, material handling, injection moulding, die casting, metal forming, marine systems and general industrial machinery.
