Ace Pumps FMC-150-HYD-206 Hydraulic Driven Centrifugal Pump, for Open Center Systems Up to 16 GPM (60.6 LPM), 1.5" x 1.25"

Ace developed the first hydraulic motor driven pump at the request of John Deere in 1969. Many of the original pumps are still operating today after more than 30 years of service. Centrifugal pump design provides good resistance to abrasive solutions and extra flow for agitation. The advantages of the hydraulic motor driven pump are mounting versatility, customized performance, and ease of maintenance. All hydraulic driven pumps are equipped with a stainless steel shaft and wear ring for excellent corrosion resistance. The Ace gear type hydraulic motor is more efficient than gerotor type motors, and is less subject to damage by contamination than the gerotor design. A built-in needle valve allows for the bypass of up to 9 GPM excess hydraulic fluid on open center systems. The standard motor has a reverse flow check valve which prevents backward hookup and a coasting check which protects the motor seal from the flywheel effect of the impeller. A restrictor orifice is included with pump models recommended for pressure compensating closed center systems.
