Any Hydraulic Experts Here?

Hey folks!

If anyone has any experience with hydraulic systems, I'd appreciate a few minutes of your time.

I have a project in mind, and it requires a 12VDC hydraulic rig. I'm looking for a small, but powerful, low-cycle pump. Something like 100+psi, but shoebox-or-smaller size.
Cylinders I have covered (I think). There's a nice custom shop in Cleveland that will make them for me.
Reservoir will be custom fabricated by me, along with the fluid lines.

Any help would be appreciated.
TIA

 

So...I'm alone in this, eh?

 

Heh heh....kinda funny considering one of my baseline specs comes from an A320.

How about sources for pumps?
Sometimes folks that make the biggies also make smaller versions.

 

Thanks guys!
The Fenner is great, but......WAY overkill for this project. 3000 PSI? You'd think I'm lifting a truck or something.
I need it closer to 200 PSI....500 PSI max.

The other thing is that I need a double-acting system.
I'm not entirely thrilled about that, but I can't rely on gravity in this case.

Reservoir size is not important. I will be fabricating my own.

 

Nah.
Hydraulic bed cover openers are so....(tell us what year, Ron...'84? '86? LOL).

 

Hellsyes!
3-wheel motion, baby!

"Make it bounce, holmes! Make it bounce!"

 

By "dump gates", do you mean "manifold"?

 

What about using something like an electric water pump or an electric fuel pump?

Aside from checking the seals to make sure they're compatible with hyd. fluid with water pumps, I think either of these might work.

The big boy fuel pumps go up to 300 psi, but they're also $1K or more (Weldon sure does make pretty stuff...heh heh).
I'm down in the Aeromotive range.....right around 100 psi.

Anyone hate the idea?
