HEYPAC AIR DRIVEN HYDRAULIC POWER PACK UNIT GX05-SSV-R2
The Heypac pump works on a reciprocating differential area piston principle. This means that the pump uses a large area air drive piston connected to a smaller area hydraulic piston to convert compressed air power to hydraulic power. Great! What does that mean? The easiest way to explain it is with an example. The ratio between the air drive piston area and the hydraulic piston area is indicated by the pump model number.
GX40 means that this is a 40 : 1 pump so using this ratio, we can explain the principle of operation.
Area of the air drive piston = 15.6 sq in. (the air drive piston remains the same size in all GX series pumps)
Area of the hydraulic piston = 0.39 sq in. (15.6 divided by 40 (ratio) )
