New Insights Report for 2023

An axial piston pump is a type of positive displacement pump characterized by a cluster of pistons arranged in a circular pattern within a cylinder block. This versatile pump serves various purposes, including functioning as a standalone pump, a hydraulic motor, or even an automotive air conditioning compressor. Axial piston motors are also available in two common designs: swash plate and bent axis, catering to medium- and high-pressure applications.

          The evolution of design and continuous technological innovation has significantly boosted the adoption of axial piston hydraulic motors and pumps across diverse end-user industries. Cutting-edge advancements such as displacement-controlled actuators, hydraulic hybrid powertrains, and continuously variable transmissions for mobile hydraulic machinery have emerged as the latest trends. These innovations result in reduced emissions and enhanced fuel efficiency, driving a surge in demand for positive displacement pumps and motors.

          Furthermore, stringent environmental regulations and legislation, particularly in the mobile hydraulics and industrial machinery sectors, have spurred the need for energy-efficient, high-pressure, high-performance, and adaptable axial piston hydraulic motors and pumps. This demand is largely propelled by the growing emphasis on eco-friendly equipment.
