Six things you didn't know about Parker Gold Cup Piston Pumps and Motors
Parker Gold Cup heavy-duty pumps and motors have long been respected in the industry for technical excellence in hydrostatic transmission applications in marine, drilling, and shredding applications, among others.
You probably know that the heavy-duty Gold Cup series of pumps and motors represent Parker’s and Denison’s combined expertise in hydrostatic transmission applications.
The tried and true design incorporates features such as, integral servo and replenishing pump, hot oil shuttle, and a unique servo control system; all of which combine to provide a rugged self-contained package that can withstand the harshest of conditions and continue to perform with trouble-free long life.
But you may not be aware of Gold Cup’s, heavy-duty hydrostatic piston pump and motor value-added features and benefits listed below:
- Precise, tight control only results in a 4-5% change in control between motoring and pumping, versus the typical competitor product change of 10%.
- Displacement control response can ramp up from 0 to 695 hp in 300 ms.
- Automated brake and bypass control provides smoother stop and start transitions, reducing the operator burden.
- Pressure compensator response reduces heat and results in an 80% reduction in system shock.
- 70% longer life than a typical hydrostatic pump. Since Gold Cup’s inception over 50 years ago, these first-generation pumps and motors are still in use.
- Numerous certifications and qualifications ranging from military-grade to ATEX.

Check Valves are the Unsung Heroes of Fluid Power
Check valves are unseen and undervalued. These valves are found in just about every mobile and industrial hydraulic system on the planet. Simply put, if there’s a pump, most likely you will find a check valve.
Considering its wide use, engineers, maintenance technicians and even end users should have a basic understanding of the function that this essential component serves in their systems.

Advantages of Helical Hydraulic Actuators in Heavy-Duty Applications
Hydraulic actuators cause engineered equipment to move, slide, rotate and lift by converting energy from pressurised fluid and hydraulic power units.
Depending on the type of machinery involved and the desired movement needed, there are a variety of linear and rotary actuators available to best match the needs of the designer.
