BFT High pressure pump Servotron 40.37 SKU: 253364
BFT High pressure pump Servotron 40.37
  • High-dynamic variable frequency drive - more than 24% energy savings – plus TÜV certification
  • Reduced operating temperature in the drive’s hydraulic oil circuit
  • Requires less cooling, extends the life of hydraulic components
  • Infinitely variable pressure from 10 to 400 MPa for a wider spectrum of applications
  • Virtually no pulsation during connection, and no cracking in brittle materials - starting at 10 MPa
  • Minimal pressure fluctuations of only ± 1% at full load - increased life of high-pressure components and improved cut quality
  • No overshoots and minimum pressure dips when turning the water-jet ON or OFF - ensures less wear on the entire high-pressure system including the cutter head
  • Due to the servo-drive, no electrical power is used when the nozzle is closed - reduced power consumption and increased energy efficiency
