About this item

A Dowty hand pump isa manual hydraulic pump used to generate high-pressure fluid for industrial, maintenance, and emergency backup tasks. It is highly valued for its independence from electrical power, making it ideal for remote or on-site fieldwork.

 

Key Specifications & Features

  • Pressure Capacity: Typically capable of generating up to 3000 PSI (207 bar), with some heavy-duty industrial models reaching 350 bar.
  • Flow & Displacement: Common delivery is approximately 0.80 in³ per double stroke (roughly 1.3 to 1.8 LPM).
  • Construction: Usually features a rugged aluminium or mild steel body with a durable steel handle (approx. 350 mm) for mechanical advantage.
  • Reservoir Options: Available with or without an integrated tank; a standard reservoir capacity is about 3.4 litres (6 pints).
  • Mounting: Designed for standard base mounting, often recommended for vertical installation.

Common Application

  • Lifting & Jacking: Powering hydraulic jacks or lifting cylinders for heavy machinery.
  • Industrial Clamping: Providing pressure for clamping devices in workshops.
  • Emergency Backup: Serving as a standby source for hydraulic systems when electrical or engine-driven pumps fail.
  • Testing & Calibration: Used for hydrostatic testing of pipelines and calibrating hydraulic equipment.
