Gear Pumps & Motors Service Manual
Fluid Recommendations
Two types of water base fluids (WBF) may be used with
our gear pumps and motors. Both types of WBF come in
various viscosity grades. Select the grade best suited to the
equipment and its operation in terms of pressure, speed,
temperature, duty cycle, etc. The fluid used should be
recommended by the O.E.M. or a reputable fluid supplier.
Operations outside the range of 400 to 2000 rpm and over
3000 psi (2000/2500 psi in the wider gear widths) should be
reviewed with your Parker sales representative.
Water-in Oil (60/40) invert Emulsions
Invert emulsions are approved for use with our bushing style
pumps at pressures up to 3000 psi or 500 psi below catalog
rated pressures, whichever is lower.
Water Glycol Solutions
Water glycol solutions of the types normally used in
hydrostatic systems are recommended for use with our
bushing style pumps. These consist of about 60% glycol
and about 40% water with additives to improve lubricity
and other characteristics. Pressures up to 3000 psi are
approved, depending on the gear width.
WBF Filtration
Filtration that seems to give the best results consists of a
100-mesh inlet screen and a return line filter. For water base
fluids, the inlet screen should be sized up three to four times
the pump capacity. The return line filter should be of a rating
and size recommended by the fluid and filter manufacturers
to achieve a recommended ISO contamination level.
NOTE
: Finer filtration may be required by other components
in the system.
High Water Base Fluids (HWBF)
The use of 95/5 emulsion is not recommended.
Biodegradable Oil (Vegetable-Based)
Oils of this type with properties similar to recommended
petroleum oils may be used. Performance, pressure ratings
and durability are not adversely affected in bushing style
pumps.
Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF)
In general, these oils have low viscosity and may be used
only at reduced operating pressures and oil temperatures.
Diesel Fuel, Kerosene, Coal Oil
Although sometimes used as a dilutant for cold weather
operations, their use is not recommended because they are
insufficiently refined products.
Transformer Oil
Sometimes used for extremely cold weather operation. It
is not generally recommended as it becomes too thin at
normal operating temperatures. Oil to U.S. Military Spec
MIL-H-5606 is in this category.

NOTE:
These figures represent generally accepted
maximums and will not prove satisfactory in all installations.
For very severe duty cycles, it will likely be advantageous to
design and operate the system at something less than these
maximum limits.
