When professionals talk about rugged, high-performance hydraulic solutions, Eaton Hydraulic Pumps inevitably enter the conversation. With more than a century of engineering expertise, Eaton offers one of the industry’s broadest pump portfolios—gear, vane, piston and electro-hydraulic options that keep factories, mobile equipment and aerospace platforms running around the clock.

Variable-displacement options reduce heat and energy draw by matching flow to real-time load, while fixed-displacement gear and vane designs deliver cost-effective, continuous flow for less demanding cycles.
Recent Product Highlights
Bezares Variable-Flow Pump (2025) – Eaton’s Mobility Group began distributing a new load-sensing pump that automatically destrokes once system pressure is reached, trimming fuel or battery consumption on forestry, snow-removal and refuse vehicles. Three frame sizes (95/110/130 cc) and selectable rotation simplify PTO integration.
FR2 Twin-Flow Piston Pump (2023) – Developed with compact nodular iron construction, the FR2 delivers two separate flow circuits from a single shaft—ideal for cranes, fire trucks or defence vehicles that must run multiple hydraulic functions simultaneously.
Together, these launches underline Eaton’s push toward higher power density and smarter, energy-aware hydraulics.
Engineering Advantages You’ll Notice
Load-Sensing Intelligence
Variable-displacement swash-plate design combined with pressure-compensating control can cut energy use by up to 30 % compared with fixed-displacement pumps running across relief valves.Wide Fluid Compatibility
Bronze-lined slippers, nitrile seals and case-drain cooling allow operation in mineral, bio-synthetic and fire-resistant HF-1/2/6 fluids without derating.Noise & Vibration Control
The PVQ “quiet” series uses optimized port plates and low-tip-speed rotors to achieve sound pressure levels below 70 dB (A), keeping plant noise within OSHA comfort limits.Digital Connectivity
Optional embedded sensors stream pressure, case temperature and swash-plate position to PLC or IoT dashboards, supporting predictive maintenance strategies.
